I had a late afternoon apointment with my primary care doctor due to intense stomach pain. After some probing, my doctor said she was concerned about appendicitis and wanted me to have a CT scan. My doctors assistant called two imaging facilities and the soonest they could get me in was Monday which meant I would have to suffer through the weekend. The assistant then called Arcadia Radiology and they told her to send me to their office right away. Whithin an hour I was having my exam. As it turned out, I indeed needed an apendectomy. Arcadia even offered to call an ambulance. After surgery the surgeon informed my wife that had I waited I most likely would have ruptured my appendics. Thank you Arcadia, and thank you to my primary care doctor.
Pros: immediate attention
