Very professional, hardly any wait for SCAN
Easy to book online and early appointment. Both clinicians before and after easy to talk too and understand. Must also mention the MRI scan operator who took time to explain and make sure I was comfortable throughout. I did feel the actual report was so full of technical terms it virtually meant nothing to me.
Speed of service. Excellent facility and staff. Prompt appointment and comprehensive results. Highly recommend this service.
Fast, helpful and efficient. Nice approachable staff.

Friendly and polite staff. Speedy experience, no waiting around for hours. I was seen at my dedicated appointment time and dealt with professionally and efficiently. Results were provided very quickly. Would highly recommend using this service for quick results.
Quick response to my request
The 2 ladies at reception were very polite n helpful. The staff who done my mri scan were polite n helpful was a very clean place n pleasant atmosphere.
Very efficient service.
Great facility with lots of available parking, and very welcoming staff. I got there half an hour before my app time, and was seen within 15 mins, very smooth and slick, and the results the following morning explained very helpfully over the phone. All in all a very reassuring experience , definitely recommend.
Scan.com did everything they said they would! Prompt bookings, good communication and sent all result information through as promised.
Thoroughly professional ,helpful ,informative and prompt delivery of results .Excellent pre and post scan consultation
A fantastic friendly efficient service. Referred , scan and results all well within a week. Money well spent and the Doctor very thorough and kind .
Absoultely brilliant, one week to get MRIs booked in and get the results.
Good overall experience, friendly reception, procedure well explained, efficient overall
Great service. Slightly frustrating that appointment requested on scan.com not then available at preferred clinic, but alternative dates available. I was informed of my results quickly which could then be shared with NHS and expedited treatment. I thoroughly recommend.
Quick response and referral
Wonderful efficient and informative service . Would highly recommend !
Booking online easy, albeit date selected was not available after doctor called to approve the MRI scan of my knee. Even so, follow up call to finally book date was good. Centre was very nice and clean. Staff all very friendly. Scan results available after 4 days and doctor called to go through results. Report and images a little complicated for me to access. I would prefer them automatically emailed to me.
Excellent service, quick to contact us initially within 2 hours and the follow up call was also very quick and very helpful information given by specialist. Would Definitely use again
Straightforward booking, excellent communication throughout, instruction clear. Good follow up with clear and quick reporting of results. Overall professional service.
Speed of consultation Pleasant helpful clinicians Excellent service at mri centre Speed of report and recommendations
Professional and quick service from start to finish , from enquiry, booking , speaking to a consultant, having the scan a as bd the report all within one week . Excellent service and I would highly recommend.
The whole end to end process was swift and easy with excellent communication throughout.
All went very smoothly. Great service.
The professional manner from start to finish of the whole experience
Everyone was so reassuring
Very easy experience getting my MRI done. Good feedback and very professional. Would recommend.
All worked very smoothly. The appointment for an MRI occurred very quickly and the cost was very reasonable and the facilities and staff at the Diagnostic Centre were great.
Efficiency from start to finish and I could not fault anything and I could not be more pleased with the treatment I received. I had an MRI scan and received phone calls before and after my Appointment. The phone call before my appointment was to explain what would happen throughout the entire procedure, the scan was given on time and all in a very calm atmosphere, and 3 days later I received a phone call with the result and given advice of what path to follow next. Throughout the whole process, every phone call was backed up by e-mails and I could not be more satisfied. Everyone was so helpful. I will definitely recommend scan.com to friends and would not hesitate to use them again.
They delivered what they promised, were pleasant, professional and punctual. The phone calls and email after the scan were informative and well explained. I cannot fault them
I cannot fault the online booking or the actual MRI scan. The staff were helpful, polite and efficient throughout. Excellent service.
Generally OK but room for improvement on the admin side. The website has a calendar to book your preferred slot. This seems to be fairly pointless as in my case 24hours before the preferred appointment it had not been confirmed by the centre, and when it was finally after a few chasing phone calls it was scheduled another day than planned. I spent a fair bit of time uploading a summary of my medical notes as requested to help the doctor with his pre consultation but when he called they had not been provided to him. I did mention that I wasn't very happy with this (although I don't believe it was the doctor's fault- he hadn't been given them). I did subsequently learn that he did obtain the notes, but after the consultation. The appointment went well and the Alliance Health Centre were very good. I quickly got a follow up post consultation to go over the report. The report and images were made available to me quickly in an easy to understand format which I have been able to efficiently pass to my GP for placing in my records. I had to chase admin again because one of the image sets was not initially available but it was quickly dealt with. So overall pretty good, but some creases to iron out
Punctual, efficient, friendly with prompt results after a phone call to question , after a week, how long I should wait.
Everything was so easy to do from booking to attending, my report back very quickly,kind and friendly staff. I had the impression it is a company that actually cares about what it does
Very efficient
Quick and easy to book. Local provider - Taunton Diagnostics - was excellent - clean, timely and efficient. Results confirmed to us within 48 hours.
I hurt my knee about 6 months ago. But I just thought it was a pulled muscle or sprain. So just coped with the pain and got on with life. But, recently, the pain was affecting every area of my life, so I made a Dr's appointment. She mentioned a possible meniscus tear and said she'd book me for x-ray or ultrasound. Knowing the waiting list for the NHS, I started Googling private MRI scans and their locations. The price was reasonable and Taunton isn't far from me. I went for my MRI on a Saturday afternoon and by Tuesday I had my results! I missed the phonecall, but an email and attachment came into my inbox about the same time. Excellent service from start to finish. Will definitely use again if needed and have been recommending them to my family and friends. 10/10
It does exactly what it says on the tin. You pay upfront for the scan and that is what is delivered. I had my MRI images along with a report within 1 working day. The diagnostic centre in Taunton is well organised and efficient. The location is 2 minutes off the M5. I had a nightmare drive to get there from South Wales, but that's just traffic. Everything they said would happen, did happen and all went very smoothly.
Brilliant service. Very easy website to follow . Excellent communication. I would highly recommend using them.
Professional, efficient, prompt service and good overall experience.
The arrangements before & on the day were excellent. The discussion a few days after less so. I'd hoped to have found more out about the problem.
From start to end the experience was good with great attention from staff
Great easy service to book, full support and was extremely quick response and completion. Higy recommended.
Excellent service kept in contact with info on the procedure both before and after the scan. Simon who I spoke to was very direct and knowledgeable on my condition which I don't always find other medical people to be. I felt very assured because of this. We found the costs not to be out of our reach even though I had to have 2 scans. The price included the phone consultation as well as the scans which isn't always advised when searching for a private service.
Everything went according to the procedure outlined on Scan.com website. I ma de a booking on 16.5.24, was duly contacted by a clinician to discuss my condition, and scan .com arranged for my MRI at Taunton Diagnostic Centre, which took place on 25.5.24. I received the test report on 27.5.24. An efficient service by all concerned!
Very Quick service, very welcoming when I arrived did not take long for them to ring me with my results
How else would you get all the information you need in order to get a scan, of whatever type, without endless phone calls to recorded messages with multiple options? Payment was easy and secure and phone calls from Scan.com were timely and informative. The computer skills needed post-scanning, and the paranoia around data protection made getting the images to the consultant a bit of a challenge, possibly the hospital fault rather than Scan.com, but hey ho, all good in the end.
The service was fast, efficient and professional, from booking the scan through to getting results.
Clear communication
Very efficient, incredibly high standards, safe environment. And key is that the results came the very next day.
Brilliant service. Speedy and very pleased with the after care service.
Booking an MRI of my painful knee online was quick & easy. The staff who telephoned identified themselves & explained the reason for the call. Once my history was taken a scan slot was booked.
Excellent service and kept informed every step of the way. Earlier appointment was offered from the original one booked online so even better. Results easy to understand. Would definitely use them again.
Well, 1 week from start to finish! Had a call from a knowledgeable doctor within 4 hours of booking, scan on the Friday and another call with results on the following Monday. Easy to understand report via email. The svan itself was good, and the partner company were friendly and helpful. Very happy with the whole experience
