Sandy M., Boston

Very Professional And Polite! They Have Than Screening Process
Of Rules Like All Medical Locations. Easy To Follow! Very Clean Location!
 
 

Mark Garrett

When you’ve been to other locations for an MRI, it really makes you appreciate a place like this. The front desk manager is terrific: superb customer service, REAL, easy to talk to, and with a beautiful outlook on how health care should be. They even have headphones that play any Sirius XM station of your choosing. When other MRI locations blindside you and make this already-scary process intolerable, it makes an experience like the one at Shields so much more wonderful.

They were so nice and patient. I am extremely claustrophobic and I had no issues! The office was so clean. Great experience!
