Pros
This MRI department is amazing! The nurses there are awesome! My experience there was exceptional! The patient care was outstanding!!

The pay was the only thing that was lacking. But that is what it was! No regrets about working there! Also the housing situation was not great. But that has nothing to do with the facility!
