Diagnostic Center For Women

If you have to go through the annoyingly uncomfortable process of breast and pelvic imaging, this is the place to get it done.
From what I could note, all the technicians were. women (phew! Like you need the extra stress of a strange man poking, prodding and smooshing your privates). Each tech was sweet, caring and gentle. During my transvaginal ultrasound, my tech Tracy, inquired about my comfort several times. She knew I was tense and nervous and made it a point to converse about other topics in order to get my mind off… the obvious. She then walked me over to the breast diagnostics lounge where you change into a comfy white robe and can help yourself to tea and biscotti. It had a bit of a spa feel, but of course my mind was drowning in thoughts of breast cancer, so even if it had been a real spa, I wouldn’t have noticed. Tracy told me that the transvaginal ultrasound was normal and encouraged me to relax as I waited for my mammogram and breast ultrasound.
I waited about 10 mins eating my stress away in biscottis when another lady tech called me over to the mammogram room. She was respectful and gentle always asking how I felt in between each shot. It’s not a comfortable procedure but certainly not painful. A few minutes after the mammogram, I was escorted into the breast ultrasound room. Again, the tech was gentle and expedient. She told me she would have the radiologist examine the film and ultrasound images right away. The radiologist walked in and told me all was well. The lump was a benign fibrous cyst (which I kind of gathered from the images I saw during the ultrasound). I was elated about the good news and so were they. Their empathy was genuine and for that, as well as their professionalism and hospitality, this center gets all my praise!

Just called 5 min ago about a billing question. The lady on the phone was SUPER RUDE!!!

The place is nice and clean. Parking is terrible. We had a 2 p.m.appointment for an ultrasound — 5-​month anatomy-​check for our baby boy. Arrived 30 minutes early as stipulated by their team upon making an appointment. Check-​in was a breeze, the wait, however, was annoying. I had to address the receptionist at 3:15p.m. and with a face of discomfort, ask if it’s that the technician was not in so that I can leave and come back. They went to check and told me 5 minutes. There were a few people waiting when we arrived, but why schedule people at lunch time if they will not be promptly attended? The technician did call us in 5 minutes later and SHE WAS GREAT, very friendly and patient. (Exam takes about 40 – 50 minutes depending on the position of the baby and the mother’s tolerance of laying on her back for a long period of time). I was referred here by my caregiver and not provided an option, but if you have the option, reconsider going to this place.

Confirmed. Everybody in the waiting room (including my wife) was scheduled at the same time. It is almost 1 hr past and still waiting. I wouldn’t mind too much if this wasn’t a repeat offense (that’s right, offense). However, it has been the same scenario in the past. Add to that, the fact that the parking lot is conveniently limited, leaving most visitors with only the option of «complementary» valet. Come on, you know that those poor guys are expecting a tip, it says it on the valet stand sign. Anyway, that alone makes it much harder for us to up an leave – because there is no way we’ll go through this again.
I know that the parking situation is probably not up to the DCFW, but it really accentuates the already dreadful experience, so it does influence this review directly. Don’t overbook patients knowing the inconvenient conditions. Some of us take time off work, need to get back and get easily irritated by such lack of consideration. Also, some of us have Unilocal accounts and enjoy writing, especially when there is nothing better to do – like when you are in a medical office waiting room and you are almost an hour past the appointment time. What to do when this Unilocal review is finished? Create a profile at Yellow Pages, maybe. Depends how much longer I wait. And then google places, and then HealthGrades and so on. Patients’ time is valuable, so when you waste it, it is very easy to find ways to make it known. Bottom line, this place sucks. Though the doctors and techs are very nice, but this experience completely overshadows the rest.

This place was amazing. I managed to secure an early morning appointment on a weekday with just a few days’ notice. The staff member on the phone was a pleasure to interact with. The front desk staff on the day of my appointment were professional and approachable. The nurse who did my pelvic ultrasound takes the jackpot; very friendly, professional and knowledgeable as well as personable. She was brilliant and I’d return here any day based on this first experience.

The mass market situation here is awful. It seems They are trying to pack in as many patients as possible. There is NO parking, valet only. The waiting room is overpacked. I literally sat on the floor to fill out my paperwork. They take an already unpleasant experience and make it as degrading as possible. And then my doctor wonders why I avoided following her instructions for years. This place is a deterrent to getting needed diagnostics. They are doing a disservice to patients and doctors who refer to this place.

I found the staff to be courteous and knowledgable. I booked my appointments at non-​peak times and had reasonable wait times and no problem parking. I received a call back after a screening mammogram, where additional views and ultrasound were recommended. I feel they were thorough with their request for additional services, but didn’t try to pile on to make more money. On my second visit the Dr. came in and spoke to me and viewed the u/​s while the tech was completing it. I left with (unofficial) results in hand and a clear understanding of my financial responsibility. Official results are being sent to my own Dr. I would recommend this facility.

great staff & physicians !
I highly recommend this center for mammograms, ultrasounds and MRI.

This is my second visit. Good experience today (breast u/​s and mammogram).
1:00pm appointment, I was out by 1:40pm.
Service: The front desk staff could be a bit nicer, that’s for sure.
They offer free coffee (made from those cool machines with lots of options), which is great.
Technician: young woman, I would say early 20’s. She was very nice. I explained that I am terrified of u/​s, as the last time I had one, my daughter had passed away, and I found out through u/​s (no heartbeat), so that left me traumatized. She walked me through the entire process, and was caring and professional.
Notes: if having mammogram or breast check up, know that they will ask you to remove top, wear robe and wait in second living room area. It is best to wear a top that can be easily removed so you can keep bottom part on and not be completely naked. It’s like a spa, but with a not so pleasurable ending! Mammograms suck! But must be done, period.
Parking is TERRIBLE. They offer comp valet, but I never carry cash and would feel bad not tipping. I drove around for a while, to find my own parking. Bring cash, or be prepared to wait for parking.
Always bring your doctors prescription, as they often don’t get the paper work doctors fax (happens during my first visit). That delayed things, a lot. Also bring picture ID and insurance card.

Spoke to David first over the phone. he was such a pleasure to talk to. he was very professional and i was able to get an appointment same day.
Parking is pain, since i didn’t have any cash i felt bad valet parking, so i looked for my own parking. (they offer complimentary valet parking)
Staff is very friendly and professional as well. I was in and out within an Hour.
tech was nice
doctor who attended me … didn’t ask me any questions was barely in the room for 5mins. he looked like he was ready for the shift to be over. so thumbs down for that.
i’ll probably go for second opinion

I have been coming here for years for my mammograms. The staff is friendly and efficient. I, personally, have never waited too long. As a matter of fact, this last time, I was in & out in just about half hour. And that included filling out the gazillion forms.
Parking can be a major pain. They do have «complimentary» valet parking. Which in other words means, «we work for tips». So yeah.
All in all, if I must have my boobies squished, I would choose to come here first.

Excellent staff! Some of the best Radiologist in South Florida.

My doctor and my tech were very professional and explained everything to me. The wait wasn’t bad at all. It’s a very nice center with a variety of services. I definitely recommend!

I had an appointment scheduled for 8:45am and the place was packed. I was not called in until about 9:20am so it was a pretty long wait. But the tech was nice and helpful so I gave points for that. The parking is also a disaster which is why the building offers complimentary valet. But remember, complimentary means you better have a couple dollars hanging around in your purse because you’re gonna feel like a jerk if you don’t tip the valet.

Come prepared to wait a while in the waiting room. This center gets packed. Also the service at times isn’t the best since, the ultrasound tech /​sonogram tech isn’t too bright. I had a negative experiment one time since, i would ask questions about the baby and the tech wasn’t too sure about her own responses but, don’t worry that all the techs need to send all the ultrasound information to the head doctor and now the head doctor is really good and he gets those techs back to work if they got something wrong or not enough information on the status of the baby and mother. but, one thing that i do like and appreciate is that they have big flat screen tv’s in the room so, that you can see the baby. =)
