Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

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. However, these specific issues represent minor challenges within an otherwise overwhelmingly positive environment for most visitors.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Satisfactory experience.

The entire process was very satisfactory.
Being claustrophobic, I found this to be a very good option for the MRI scan. It went really well.
I was initially scared, but the staff were quite reassuring, and did everything to make me comfortable. Once the scan started, I was good till it was completed.

Also, booking my appointment was easy and staff was very helpful.

Easy from start to finish.

Easy from start to finish.
Great way to have a scan if uncomfortable with enclosed space + able to watch TV as it’s being done.
Very helpful staff made the experience very pleasant.
Thank you +++++

Do not be fooled by their high prices

Do not be fooled by their high prices. High price does not indicate quality. Their scanners are old; they told me they had them reconditioned in 2017. Best practice for safety and accuracy are scanners that are less than 10 years old. A bigger problem is the admin are incredibly unhelpful and rude. The admin assistant I spoke to was openly aggressive. If that's the contempt they have for patients with cancer, then I do not trust their clinical standards either.

Dear Rosie Marshall, please provide peer reviewed evidence that "Best practice for safety and accuracy are scanners that are less than 10 years old" for MRI? As our website clearly states, our scanners were updated with the latest AI imaging technology in 2024. Please provide evidence that "...admin are incredibly unhelpful and rude". Our admin team deal with cancer patients routinely with care and empathy and numerous health care professionals routinely refer to us with confidence in our clinical standards. What specifically do you not trust about our clinical standards?

Very good company

This company is very good. I am severely disabled and went for a scan at Medserena in Manchester. Staff were very helpful, friendly and professional.

I would definitely recommend this company.

EVERYTHING!

EVERYTHING! From the receptionist, to the kind radiographer who explained to me every single detail to the possibility for my husband to be there and not feel locked in a tunnel and the scan itself. You have created a human-friendly atmosphere for a scan that in itself could be frightening let alone the nature and findings of it. I have recommended MEDSERENA to many friends already.
