“Excellent post care service, very reassuring and helpful with clear explanations throughout all manner of questions.”
“Couldn’t ask for better treatment, from the first appointment everything was made perfectly clear and I knew what to expect, one of the first people I saw after coming round from surgery and again explained everything at a level I could understand. I had A.c.l revision stage 1 and was told to expect pain and discomfort but experienced very little, from reading other people’s experiences with same operation im very happy mr Attar did my operation and the scar is extremely neat in comparison with others I seen. Would definitely recommend Mr Attar to anyone with knee issues.”

The European Scanning Centre Team
/images/image_gallery/1550682213.png)
The team at The European Scanning Centre pride ourselves on our care and compassion for each and every patient that we see at Kingsley Hall. We know that for some of our patients, the thought of having to endure an MRI scan can be a cause of great anxiety and we always spend as much time as needed, reasuring them that the experience in our Open Scanner is very different to anything they may have previously experienced in a closed tunnel MRI scanner.
On arrival you will be greeted and welcomed into our beautifully furnished Centre. One of our radiographers (we have both male and female) will spend time with you answering any questions you may have before your scan. You are very welcome to take a partner or friend into the scan room with you if it makes you feel more at ease.
Following your scan you will be able to relax and have a tea or coffee before leaving us to carry on with your day.
“What an amazing service. I never thought I would be able to have an MRI scan but the staff at the centre helped me so much … I would not hesitate to recommend them”
”I could not believe it – I was so relaxed on the MRI scanner that I fell asleep”
”what a kind group of people – I was so nervous but they allowed my husband to sit in the scan room with me which made the experience so positive”
