After suffering from lower back pain for 15 weeks including various physio and GP consultations, Rob was told by his GP that he would need to have an MRI scan. However, he soon realised that the wait on the NHS could take several months.
Booking with Vista Health
To speed things along, Rob and his wife decided to get a private MRI scan done to prevent any further wasted months in pain, without answers.
‘So we looked online and found Vista Health with a very well-priced MRI scan and appointments available within 2 weeks, the whole application process was very easy for myself and was booked within 10 minutes.’
Quick and Efficient Service
‘From arriving at the MRI scanner I was greeted by a very friendly gentleman who asked me to fill out a form and by the time I was finished he went over the form with me and got me straight in for a scan, there was no waiting around he ran me through what was going to happen during the scan and gave me ear plugs and ear defenders and I was straight in. As soon as I was done both the guys there wished me a lovely day and off I went.’
‘The staff were fantastic very friendly and informative and were happy to work at a pace suitable for me I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience.’
The Benefits of Using Vista Health
Within just 3 days, Rob and his GP had the scan results and were able to plan for his return to work. Despite it resulting in a change in jobs for him, he was relieved to be back on track to normality.
‘I would highly recommend anyone who was in my position awaiting an MRI scan from the NHS to use Vista Health, you can’t put a price on your health, but vista health was very reasonably priced, and the service was second to none, my only regret was not doing it sooner.’
Using Vista Health has allowed Rob to make positive steps forward and finally understand what has been causing him so much pain for all those months.
‘I would finally just like to thank Vista Health for what you have done for me, your service was amazing and I’m finally in a position where I can make steps in moving forward with my life, I can’t imagine how long I would been stuck In the rut I was in if I hadn’t decided to do my MRI scan privately from the second I applied to the second I left having my scan the service was impeccable. Thank you, guys.’
