This place is a joke. I've been to Texas orthopedics multiple times trying to get an MRI. The first time they refused to give me an MRI even with a referral from urgent care. They then gave me an X-ray and told me I was fine. My shoulder popped out again literally 8 hours after I left. After 4 hours on the phone and 2 missed days of work I finally got an MRI scheduled and was told the location I had originally gotten an MRI scheduled at DIDNT EVEN HAVE AN MRI MACHINE. While on the phone I was asked if I work with metal, which I do. I was told I need to get my eyes X-Ray'd before I could get an MRI. I scheduled an X-ray and MRI at this location only to show up and have them try to give me an MRI with out getting an X-ray. Brian, the MRI tech tried to convince me that I would be fine, and that "if you don't think you have metal in your eyes you should be fine". I told him I refused to get in the MRI machine with out first checking to make sure there was no metal in my eyes. I was told "we can do the X-ray today but we will have to reschedule the MRI for another day". I work full time in a metal shop, they expected me to get an X-ray and wait until they had an opening on another day to get an MRI. This means I would be unable to go to work until they had an opening for an MRI so I wouldn't have to risk getting metal in my eyes before the MRI. I was then told this was my fault for not showing up 15 minutes before my appointment when I had shown up over 20 minutes before my appointment. This place is a joke and the way they run it could have cost me my eye site if I hadn't been warned about the importance of getting my eyes X-rayd before an MRI.
