Took exceptionally good care of my 88 year old mother and I also witnessed how wonderful they were to every patient. Job well done.

Tee Z.

Shields MRI patient, Springfield

Very caring and professional staff. I was able to book an MRI the same day as my doctor appointment. Thought I’d have to wait weeks or months. The open MRI was very comfortable and the whole procedure was so fast, I was in and out of there in under 45 minutes. I highly recommend this place.
