[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been going to WRA for years. I credit them with noting a subtle finding (distortion) that eventually turned into a cancer diagnosis. Their equipment and physicians are fine, and the appointments are very efficient, at least at the Park Potomac location where I go - for my most recent screening mammogram, I was in and out under 20 minutes.

What I don’t like about them is their record keeping and notification process. They don’t have a portal, and so for screening mammos you have to wait for a letter in the mail. No access to images. And when I had my biopsy, they have a stupid rule that only the physician that did the biopsy could tell me the result. Well it was a Friday and that physician was out of the office so she didn’t call until Monday (thankfully my gyn also received a copy of the report and called me that same day with the bad news). In contrast, I am getting my cancer treatment at Georgetown, and when I had an MRI there, the images were posted within a few days and when the report was ready I could see it right away (in fact I’m pretty sure I saw it before my doctor).
