Evaluating 81 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the welcoming staff and calming environment, which successfully helps ease anxiety for anyone dealing with claustrophobia. People also appreciate the exceptional professional care, clean facilities, and clear explanations provided throughout the entire scanning process. Some reviewers were not happy with initial physical positioning, mentioning that it caused unexpected pain or discomfort during the procedure. A few other people also felt that certain practical aspects, such as communication or follow-up details, could be handled much better.

Written by the company

Medserena is a specialist provider of open and upright MRI scans. Our Open MRI scanners are beneficial to all patients who suffer with claustrophobia and have a fear of conventional, tunnel MRI systems. We accept referrals from both healthcare professionals and self-referrals. Payment by private health insurance, self-pay and NHS authorised funding are all accepted. We specialise in providing private MRI scans of the brain, spine, joints and pelvic region. Our Upright MRI system is unique in that it can image the whole spine, including the craniocervical junction (CCJ) in an upright position. In addition, our variPOSE™ technique (varying the pose through flexion, extension and rotation for the scan) allows us to thoroughly assess the effects of gravity and posture on joints and soft tissue. Established in 2011, Medserena currently has 2 UK MRI centres in London and Manchester.

Honest,polite

Honest,polite . I was shaking when I arrived. From entering I was made to feel at ease. Everything was explained beforehand and the examination was so straightforward. Great staff with a great work ethic.

Fantastic experience from start to…

Fantastic experience from start to finish. I’m extremely claustrophobic but had absolutely nothing to worry about. Totally put at ease and I actually dozed off during the scans whilst watching tv. I just sat upright in a chair and wore a wide belt. Totally open was almost like a fairground ride and I was talked through every 4 minute scan by my lovely radiologist. Also I need to give special thanks to Emma who managed to squeeze me in last minute to make sure the results were available in time for my upcoming appointment with my consultant. Both Emma and my radiologist are a real credit to the company.

Overall an outstanding experience and I can thoroughly recommend Medserena.

Medserena

Medserena is a friendly,punctual clean,efficient place to have any procedure especially a scan. I needed an upright scan after my spine became arched with no reason, staff were amazing however during my scan there was an incident in which I was hurt but the staff was so polite, and sincerely apologised and they were wonderful . Would recommend to anyone.

The best medical experience to date

The best medical experience to date! and I am in my 40s!

I was reffered to Medserena after a long standing head injury and issues with my back and neck and not being able to go into the tube due to claustrophobia. Phoning me up to arrange the appointment, they where very polite and offered me a range of appointment days and times within days! That was my first shock! Brilliant!

It was easy to get to via train and tube, and easy to find from the Gloucester Road tube station-its just round the corner. When I arrived, access was easy, just a simple camera buzzer and door, with wheelchair access if needed. I chose the stairs, but it did look like there was a lift.

Upon arrival the staff where extremely warm and friendly. Asking if I wanted a drink and to take a seat in the very comfortable waiting area. I was probably waiting no longer than 10 mins, which in itself is amazing!

The radiography was incredible. Put me at ease right away, explained eveything and then proceeded to do my scans. When finished the scans, could see my issue right away. So now, the ball is going back to my doctor! Finally I have some answers! So I am over the moon!

This is the best medical expeirence I have ever had and I have had ALOT of medical expeirences, if only they where all this comfortable and easy!

When I was leaving, I asked the kind lady at the desk for my scan reports to be sent to me-and she said no problem. And they arrived before i even got back on the tube to go home!! My mind is blown!!!

All of the staff there are on a whole next level. Would fully recommend to anyone that needs an MRI and is unable to enter the tube version.

10/10 in every aspect. Thank you so much.

Professional and Caring

Professional and caring.
Really understanding - I have recently been to a different MRI Centre in London and this one was more professional, caring staff, a larger size room which helps with the claustrophobia rather than big machine small room in previous clinic attended. I would 100% recommend here if you are claustrophobic and need an MRI scan.

I was referred to Medserena due to my claustrophobia and tinnitus.I had a long scan on my spine and sacroiliac joints. The whole process was very calming and I was in communication with the employee doing the scan.I was sat in a chair rather than the usual tube . I can strongly recommend this place , particularly if you are having a long scan .

Helpful and reassuring

Efficient booking service, although appointment time was brought forward. Staff very friendly and reassuring. As a nervous patient the commentary on the progress of the MRI was very helpful.
