Review titled Outstanding Care for Claustrophobic Patients
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Adrian - Posted on 26 May 2025
I can't thank the team at Heath Lodge Clinic enough for the incredible care and support they provided during my recent full-body MRI scan. As someone who struggles with confined spaces, I was very nervous going in — but from the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and at ease. The clinic is run by Dr (this NHS review wont let my write the doctors name so please look on their website who founded the business), a caring and gentle man, and an expert in his field. He founded the clinic many years ago and, given that no one really wants to go into an MRI machine, he has ended up specialising in patients with claustrophobia. He truly cares, and asked if I would share my experience — not for economic gain, as he explained he is always reinvesting in new MRI machine technology looking for ever bigger machines and has a number of wide-bore machines for his patients — but to help others who may need an MRI, especially one as long as mine, which was a full-body scan lasting 90 minutes. However, the time flew by as there were lots of changes in position, and the team had me in and out of the machine literally every five minutes. Beforehand, the team took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure I never felt rushed. What stood out most was how kind, calm, and understanding everyone was. They offered thoughtful touches like playing relaxing music, a TV screen at the end of the machine and constantly checked in with me throughout the procedure to make sure I was okay. (They can talk to you the whole time through a mic and speaker, and there’s a button you can press that slides you straight out.) The machine is open at both ends, so you can go in and out from either side — which made me feel much more relaxed. Thank you for your compassion and professionalism. What I expected to be a really difficult experience turned out to be completely manageable. If you’re anxious or claustrophobic about having an MRI, I genuinely can’t recommend the whole team enough. They truly get it — and they truly care.

Review titled Brilliant Place
Rated 5 stars out of 5

From my arrival to the clinic it was welcoming & friendly. Made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Staff were kind and caring during my scan, especially afterwards as I felt dizzy and unsteady due to my high BP. They quickly got me a wheelchair and made sure I was comfortable and safe. This is my second time too and both times exceeded my expectations.

From start to finish the staff were perfect and so friendly. This is the place to go if you are claustrophobic like me. They put me at ease and it was all done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Without Heath Lodge I doubt I'd have been able to go through with the scan at all.

Thank you to all who looked after me today for my MRI. Your patience and understanding with me being claustrophobic made the appointment so much easier and manageable for me with a little help. And the lovely cup of tea and biscuits to follow was so appreciated. Thank you again so much to all of you. Julia

Last week I had an xRay Consultation at Heath Lodge Clinic. This was my third visit during the past four years, and at each appointment the service has been exemplary! As previously, from my initial enquiry, through the Admin/Reception staff, to the staff conducting my xRays on this, and MRIs on previous occasions, I cannot fault the efficiency, approach and friendliness of all those that I either met or spoke with (by telephone or email), on each visit to the Clinic. I would not hesitate to use the Service again and would recommend Heath Lodge to anyone seeking a similar service!

Review titled Excellent service for an X ray
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 November 2024
I had a hip X Ray at Heath Lodge. A very reassuring experience. Very cost effective and knowledgeable staff. I felt valued and understood and was amazed to come away with images of my X ray. The results were available in just under two weeks. I highly recommend the practice if you need an X ray. It saves waiting many weeks for an NHS referral and you have evidence yourself of the images taken.
