    My 18 y.o. daughter attended i-MED at 250 Collins St. to have a simple X-ray of a broken finger. She was charged $75.00 for the service, which is bulk billed everywhere else we go. We've not paid for an X-ray from our pockets for over 2 decades...only at i-MED... in the CBD. Our unsuspecting, relatively inexperienced daughter was asked to pay, she didn't question it, thinking this was 'the norm'. Upon calling i-MED to question it, they brushed us off, stating they were a private company & don't bulk bill. Our surgeons rooms, whom recommended i-MED said that they have not experienced one of their referrals being charged for a X-ray before. BE AWARE & check price prior to attending. Appears to be opportunism in practise.

    This 1 star review is due to the Receptionists and not the Radiographer. The Radiographer was professional and I had no issues with her. I called I-Med on Collins St at 12pm to book in a time for a X-Ray. I was told that there was no need as I could walk up and wait 5-10 mins. Being around the corner I arrived at 12:10pm and was greeted by Abby at reception. She proceeded to take my details and told me to have a seat as the Radiographer will be with me soon. 45 minutes later I was still waiting and saw 2 walk-ins who arrived after me go in before me. I went to reception and asked how much longer I needed to wait. Abby by this point had gone off to lunch so another receptionist told me there was a delay with lots of walk-ins. I did ask why the 2 walk-ins who arrived after me were served and she said they had appointments when I clearly heard them saying they had no appointments when they arrived. She told me it wouldn't be much longer. at 1pm, 5 minutes after I asked reception about wait time, I was called by the Radiographer. I mentioned that she must have been busy as I was waiting almost a hour and she told me she only got the job slip at 12:56pm which was a minute after I asked reception. Basically Ally forgot to put my name down thus I was waiting for nothing and then when I asked the other receptionist was lied to. Instead of making excuses if the second receptionist told me straight up Abby forgot to out me in the system I could have accepted that. After I had the X-Rays the second receptionist was no where to be seen and Abby was not back from lunch so I asked a third receptionist what happened and her attitude could use a lot of work. I do hope the receptionists get their act together as it makes the whole experience a negative one which is a shame as the Radiographer was great.

    Very easy and quick experience getting a dental x-ray. Everyone was very nice and clearly explained what was going on and how much everything would cost. ($71 for a dental x-ray with $40 back on Medicare). Much better experience than a different I-MED location in the northern suburbs.

    Went there with my wife for an ultrasound. the radiologist was very unfriendly, and did not explain anything about the results. As a concerned parent to be we expected at least some information and a more friendly demeanor. not going there again.

    $250 for left hand ultrasound (only $100 rebate from Medicare). Go somewhere that bulk bills. Multiple providers do within 2km

    Had an uncomfortable ultrasound session lately. - During the session, the radiologist put the arm on top of my body with the body weight. This made my arm and body so numb and unconformatable for the entire session. This unnecessary skin-to-skin physical touch and leaning weight could have been prevented by repositioning the bed. - After the session, the transducer/probe was left uncleaned with used gel on it until I left. Not seeing it being cleaned right after the session raises concern about the hygiene practice. - The mature receiption lady was nice and kind.

    I've been here twice for ultrasound scans and both times my sonographer had been very professional and patient. From explaining the procedure to answering any questions I may have about the procedure, she made me feel comfortable and no judgement at all. Would definitely come back here for any future scans.

    I did Some X rays After getting a referral from a doctor. After the OPG was done, they did not give me the X rays and refuse to tell me anything about it also. They said they will be sending my GP all the information. Well they only send the doctor 2 sentence letter saying what was on the X-ray. Now that the dentists I’m seeing in my area, 50 minutes from this place can not get any access to these x rays. Because my GP don’t have it and they don’t email X-rays. So now I have to go out of my way again and visit there branch to pick up these xrays!

    Reception staff was kind enough to help me out when I dropped my referral on the way over and get another one sent over from my dentist. Radiology staff were friendly and guided me through each step. Afterwards reception were kind enough to give me a medical certificate to pass onto my employer.

    The worst! They have delayed my reports so much even after mentioning that they are urgent. I have to chase them for couple days even after the report is ready, to be forwarded to another GP.

    Absolutely lovely receptionist, kind and patient. Was very clear with every person I saw that they would be covered by Medicare or how much to pay. Technician Luke was very professional and gave clear instructions on how to stand for my dental scans and also informed me at the end when the scans would be delivered to my dentist. Great experience!

    Never can get calls answered and the minimal holding time is 1hour. Maybe they should have a receptionist to answer some urgent phone calls?

  • 3/5 C 2 years ago on Google
    If it is not a specialised ultrasound then it is probably going to be okay. Ultra sound that was done was not of a good quality and the doctors had to request for another.

    Rating is for reception and poor admin process. Visited for a dental X-ray. Stood waiting at the counter for 7 minutes while the receptionist spoke to her colleague and continued to say "will be just a second". Inform the client to take a seat if you have an important lengthy conversation so they aren't standing around waiting for nothing. For security (obviously not mine) the receptionist had asked me to confirm my address, date of birth and full name verbally over the counter with other patients standing close by. She'd then go on to ask if I still lived in several other properties aloud which I'd sinced moved out of (this is sometimes a security question on government & banking documents to verify identity). Myself and the client immediately after me voiced concerns over this, some people don't feel comfortable saying the above in public spaces. The reaction by reception and even the practitioner seemed dismissive and annoyed after voicing concerns, indicating they're likely tired of the same conversation. All communication and my x-ray results were then sent to the private phone number of my parent who I haven't lived with in over a decade (assuming this number was provided for contact when I was much younger). I was then unable to access the x-ray results without the password sent to their number. My address listed on their system was also a decade old and even in a different state. Every issue I've addressed in this review could easily be fixed if your receptionist had handed me a client information form to fill in upon arrival, which would update & confirm my details prior to the appointment, like most other medical centres. Individually, these issues wouldn't have concerned me enough to write this review, however there were too many easily avoidable mistakes that showed a complete disregard to your customers security and time. Summed up in one word: unprofessional.

    I've been visiting this clinic everytime I needed an xray for the past 10 yrs and attended appt at 4.15pm today. There is an opportunity for your radiologist to be more professional in communication with the client. The job can be done by a robot in this stoneage and there's a reason a human being has been given the job - so maintain the standards of a medical professional!

    A great medical imaging clinic. Had my ECHO done this morning at I-MED Radiology (Collins St location). Both the receptionist and my doctor, Dr Castro, were friendly and professional.

  • 1/5 Adam D. 2 years ago on Google
    Radiology staff were good but reception staff were terrible and the reception supervisor blatantly lied to us about our appointment booking. Their online booking system is also terrible twice it let us book appointments that they didn’t actually do, will not go back again

    Went in for an OPG and was out within 20 minutes. The radiographer is very professional. 4 stars because the front desk should be more friendly, communicative and welcoming.

  • 1/5 Kiki 2 years ago on Google
    Very unprofessional staff. Was told report will be ready on Tuesday but today is Saturday report is still not here yet. They just took my money an deliver nothing. Called multiple times during weekdays work hours - line was forever busy and no response. I want to give 0 star but google doesnt have this option…

    The lady at the front desk is terrible, due to the busy traffic, I arrived there at 8.04. She gave me a call and tried to guide me to the building, but she couldn't give me a clear instruction, so she guided me to the wrong direction, I cost eight minutes on the phone with her, and she still couldn't give me the correct info, and she said you wasted too much time, she has to reschedule the meeting. This is really rediculous.
