When they called to schedule a referral appointment we were told we would have to pay $800 for the MRI. My parents are native Spanish speakers and tried their hardest to communicate in English with whoever was on the other side of the call and explain to them that their insurance verified it was in network and the copay should only be $200. After a few struggling moments, my dad finally asked if they had anyone that spoke Spanish all she said was "no" and didn't offer any other resource like a phone interpreter.
She said "i'll call you back" in rude tone and NEVER CALLED BACK LOL. It's 2022 when are medical offices and providers going to be accessible for all? Honestly take your service somewhere else. If you're going to pay out of work might as well be with someone who treats you nicely.

I went for an MRI at the Asheville office of Open MRI. It was Saturday evening at 6:15, rainy and cold. And yet it was the one of top two Healthcare experiences I have had. DOTTIE, ALETHA, and NICK were all awesome. They worked as a team, communicated extremely well and made me and the clients that evening feel welcomed and we were very well taken care of. The process to get the MRI from checking in was seemless. Dottie's warmth at registration, Aletha's caring and reassuring nature answererong any concerns I may have had, and Nick's knowledge of the procedure and preparing me for what was to come all was world class. I am serious WIRLD CLASS. I have been in Healthcare virtually all of my professional career. And they top drawer. I want management to know. Thank you Dottie, Aletha and Nick! My best, Jerry
