Patient story

How Practice Plus Group helped hairdresser Sally give stress the snip

Hairdresser, Sally, was worried about her health after passing out but was told by her GP that she faced over a three month wait for an MRI scan on her brain. Not wanting to put it off, she booked an MRI scan privately with Wellsoon from Practice Plus Group and received the much welcomed all-clear results in matter of days!

“I really couldn’t have been happier with the service from Practice Plus Group. It was fast, affordable, and everyone I saw was lovely.”

Sally says, “I’d been under a lot of stress and had passed out. My doctor was worried I’d had a seizure of some kind, so referred me to hospital where I had a CT scan. The scan didn’t show anything worrying but afterwards the doctor said they should also have done an MRI scan on my brain.

“At that point, there was a wait of around 18 weeks.

“That would have taken me up to just before Christmas. I was facing 18 weeks of worrying there was something wrong with my brain, and there was a risk I’d find out some bad news just before Christmas. I just wanted to know that everything was okay and to have that peace of mind.

“Two years ago I’d had a heart attack and knew from that time that a private MRI would cost thousands of pounds I couldn’t afford, so I was in limbo.

“I’m a hairdresser and was at work one day telling a client all about it when another client overheard and suggested Practice Plus Group Diagnostics at High Wycombe. She said they’re fast and much more affordable.

“I called them the next day and couldn’t believe a private MRI scan was going to cost just over £330. I expected it to be more like £2,000. I was booked in for the following evening which was perfect for me as I could go after work. This was a Friday night, and on the Monday I received the results which were also sent to my GP.


“I tell all my clients now about Practice Plus Group at High Wycombe and that you don’t have to wait and it doesn’t cost the earth.”

“It showed that everything was fine and there was nothing wrong. The passing out had just been due to stress.

“I really couldn’t have been happier with the service from Practice Plus Group. It was fast, affordable and everyone I saw was lovely.

“I tell all my clients now about Practice Plus Group at High Wycombe, and that you don’t have to wait and it doesn’t have to cost the earth.”
