Catalyst Radiology 34 Sherwood Road, Toowong, Queensland 4066

"Highly recommend this place for a number of reasons. Unfortunately (for me) I needed a couple of different scans over the last year. Everytime my local provider had a significant wait, or did not do a specific scan, so I chose Catalyst as being conveniently located near work in Toowong and always having a spot available to fit me in on very short term. Every interaction was great from booking/Intake to scan and, if needed procedure by doctor/specialist and aftercare. Staff is amazing, super friendly, transparant and professional. I would not even bother to look elsewhere."

"The staff are super friendly, a lot of services are bulk billed, the receptionist always greets me with a smile, remembers my name. A wide variety of services; MRI, XRay, CT Scan, Ultrasound."

"I went to Catalyst on Tues morning 06 Sept 22 for a M.R.I. scan on my left knee. My experience with Catalyst, from booking online, submitting my referral and the procedure itself was positive, and I can recommend this practice, for your scanning and X Ray needs. When I arrived at 8.30am, the friendly receptionist got me to fill out a fairly simple reg form and almost immediately afterwards, the technician took me downstairs for the scans. The technician was friendly, patient and caring. He explained the procedure clearly to me, made sure that I was relaxed and comfortable, with headphones tuned to a local radio station to block out the loud noise of the scanning machine. I felt that I was in good hands. He advised that at any time, I could signal to him via a bell, which I held in my hand, and the scan could be stopped to see what the problem was, and then restarted again. Unlike other technicians I've encountered in the past, this gent did not put the fear of God in me, if I accidentally moved or sneezed or coughed during the procedure. He simply said that that particular section would have to be redone but not the whole scan and in any event one section might only be three minutes. With that in mind, I felt a whole lot better and in the end it all went smoothly with no delays or interruptions. After 20 mins I was done and on my way home. So thanks to the technician and to his assistant at reception, for making this such a seamless and stress-free procedure. And the reports were at my doctor within a day or two, with no delays. Regarding Costs: I paid $300 out of my own pocket, despite paying a so-called annual “medicare levy” of 2.5% of my taxable income (remember it started off at 1% when Medicare was first introduced in 1983) and thousands of dollars a year for private health insurance. So if you’re a middle class person receiving no govt benefits, and living off your own means, even that hefty combo of pub Medicare and pvt. health insurance is still not enough to cover your essential med expenses. In this instance I paid the entire cost of the scan myself, with no Medicare or private health assistance. No fault of Catalyst, just how the system of socialised medicine works."

"I came here twice for the ultrasound and MRI. I recommend this center a lot. The receptionists are gentle and polite. The doctors are thoughtful, friendly and professional. Equipments are modern. While other radiology centers cannot help me book an appointment urgently, Catalyst always has empty slots, easily to book online and very quick confirmed response via email and phone call. Totally 5+ stars."
