Spine MRI

I was able to have MRI on my spine
As the waiting list was long this has

Outcome. I am now able to have other
tests to sort out the problem with my
kneck and spine.

Very grateful to have Benenden!

Very grateful to have through my work, first time using, they were very helpful and so pleased that I managed to get the consultant and and most diagnostic tests done within weeks of my initial contact- my emergency appointment though the NHS would have been 4 months after my initial GP referral! Have a long way to go for treatment but so grateful I am a lot further along in the process because I had Benenden.
