Lenox Hill Radiology

I went to LHR on Atlantic Avenue for a mammogram. First sign that this might not be the best: there’s no directory or concierge, so how do you know what floor to go to? Hmm. Someone else entered the building at the same time and I asked her. Luckily she had been there before.
The young lady at the front desk asked me personal questions re my medical history in front of a waiting room full of people. Hello, HIPPA?
The tech forgot to put on the protective apron so my uterus doesn’t become radioactive, and while very polite, she kept giving me conflicting instructions for how to stand, etc. When she inevitable hurt my delicate parts, she said, «Oh, you’re so sensitive.» I found this a bit insulting. I’ve had mammograms that didn’t hurt. Really depends on the skill of the tech. But to blame me for the pain she inflicted upon my breasts was comical.

This office misdiagnosed a leg clot. Thanks in part to my slight hypochondria, I sought a second opinion and ended up having DVT and pulmonary embolism. Mistakes happen, but in this case it could mean life or death. Avoid or get a second scan done.

While you wait on hold indefinitely listening to the dystopian commercials for new medical technologies, I recommend posting a negative review on Unilocal.It’s very satisfying, even if it doesn’t get them to answer a phone.
This is the same company as Park West Radiology.
