Went in for an MRI scan on my jaw, after several phone calls to book and then rearrange the appointment ( at their behest not mine). They emailed me appointment details and an extensive questionnaire. At no point did anyone ask me either on the phone or via the questionnaire if I was claustrophobic !! The MRI scanner they have at their Wimpole Street clinic is the old fashion type very narrow long tube. I tried a couple of times but no way could I tolerate being crammed in there. It is nothing like the modern wide bore short scanners the NHS use (I googled it !). So much for private health care. Staff at Orion were pretty indifferent to my concerns. When I challenged the staff about why there was no information about the type of MRI scanner they use or that this can be an issue for anyone claustrophobic they were very sheepish. My conclusion is they are just trying to make money from out of date technology, perhaps they're cheap. I never saw the cost as it was booked through my private health care insurance. Not recommended.

Don’t touch this place. Machine old dangerous
Oryon Imaging is a very fast and efficient service with a range of normal office hours or "out of hours" time slots which you, the patient get to choose. The pricing is structured according to demand so it makes it more affordable if self funding. Staff are very friendly and results are delivered very quickly. I highly recommend.
Good and quick service, the way we need. Staff was very good and helpful. I would give 5 stars but the company still ask staff and customers to wear face masks. Time to end up this madness
Oryon were very helpful in helping me select a price conscious appointment as i am paying for this myself not through a fund. my appointment was efficient and the location in central london was helpful for me. The centre was modern with stair and lift access and my cd was available to take away whist i waited. Very professional and efficient
I have been very impressed with Oryon. I got an appointment the same day and my results were given to me straight away before I left the place. The whole experience took 10 minutes. I was seen on time, both reception and the radiologist were very helpful and considerate. The pricing was surprisingly reasonable. All in all great, very efficient and helpful service.
My physio recommended an MRI scan of my right calf and recommended me to Oryon in Wimpole Street. I made an appointment online and had the MRI scan 3 days later and the physio received the scan with a report one day after it was done. The staff were efficient, professional and pleasant at Oryon. The total cost of the scan is shown when you make the booking so you know exactly how much you have to pay. There are long delays for MRI scans by the NHS in my area and I thought that it was worthwhile to go privately and get a quick result. I am glad that I did.
