Folks, having an MRI radiological examination can be a critical component in your health and well being. There is a significantly important reason that you are having such. Having said this, the examination or study performed IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE RADIOLOGY PHYSICIAN THAT READS AND INTERPRETS IT! This part of the process IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. You need a well trained, extremely competent radiologist to identify potential issues and important findings, accompanied by a thorough report. This aspect of doing business with Upright is frankly HIGHLY SUSPECT, as they utilize non-Colorado based radiologists primarily, and ones that are locally unfamiliar, often remotely via the internet, etc. Some could be based in say, Florida or New Jersey, and potentially inaccessible to your physician that ordered your MRI. Upright utilizes often inexpensive radiology "services" for their readings due to cost savings. However, Upright's MRI itself is wonderful technology, much more comfortable and patient friendly that older, claustrophobic, and unpleasant MRI facilities that exist throughout our metropolitan community. The staff IS friendly and accommodating, except when you ask too many questions about the credentials and location of the radiologists that may end up interpreting your MRI. TRY TO SELECT YOUR OWN PREFERRED, LOCALLY BASED, AND COMPETENT RADIOLOGIST TO REVIEW YOUR MRI, rather than some "service" they use from who knows where. Avoid "GIGO" with respect to your health. GOOD LUCK! UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020, REGARDING "UPRIGHT MRI": I just had another group of physician providers request a new cervical MRI to be undertaken. When I mentioned Upright MRI, the physician informed me that they would not accept ANY MRI studies from Upright due to the consistently poor quality of the radiological readings, interpretations, and reports. PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOUR "ORDERING PHYSICIAN " WILL ACCEPT THE WORK OF UPRIGHT MRI BEFORE HAVING YOUR MRI, as many physicians in our community will not allow their patients to obtain MRI's from Upright. Words of caution, as MRI's are expensive!
