This was a great experience having my MRI at Marlborough Hospital. I would recommend this facility anytime. Rebecca was very helpful and reassuring throughout the entire process.

MRI patient

From the extremely friendly, professional and efficient check in to the full explanation of what to expect during the procedure, I was truly impressed with the entire process. No wait time beyond appointment time. Clean, modern facilities and secure spot to keep clothes and wallet during the process. I would highly recommend the Shields location at Leominster Hospita
