Negligent Radiologists American Health Imaging Plan $6M USD Knoxville, TN Facility To Open In 2026

mymedicalnightmare

I share an October, 2025 application review PDF posted to the Tennessee .GOV website for a proposed $6,000,000 USD Outpatient Diagnostic Center that will offer MRI services to residents of Knoxville (Knox, Loudon &  Blount counties). If approved, the location will open in April, 2026. Members of this community must exercise extreme due diligence before allowing the bad doctors at AHI to open it's doors and collect money for services in your community. Please consult and learn from the mountains of negative patient customer experiences available online and do not give your patronage and business to this place if it is allowed to hang its shingle out in your neighborhood.   In late 2024 American Health Imaging, Inc. (“AHI”) and founder / CEO, Scott Arant, were announced to pay the United States federal government and the State of Georgia $5,250,000 to resolve allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by: (1) providing physicians with meals, tickets to sporting events, and other gifts to induce those physicians to refer diagnostic scans to AHI’s independent diagnostic testing facilities; and (2) entering into above fair market value personal services agreements with referring physicians to induce those physicians to refer scans to AHI.   I was a patient of American Health Imaging in 2019 where radiology Dr. Angus Baird MD failed to note a broken skull injury and head trauma I almost died from. Subsequently, I tried to contact Scott Arant of AHI, the doctor and Birmingham Radiological Group (50 MD's on payroll) CEO Doyle Stewart (listen to my recorded phone calls in other videos on my channel). NONE would help me correct this mistake, refund my $500, or get me any recourse or redress in my matter. I was physically disabled and being denied and dismissed repeatedly after paying money. I likewise filed a complaint with the Alabama medical board, this was thrown out and dismissed. I am convinced AHI and their partners (such as UAB St. Vincent's (Ascension) are thoroughly corrupt and instances such as this reveal only the tip of the iceberg of far deeper issues.

00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus

00:07hours video on everything that happened to me. All right, heads up in the state of Tennessee

00:12and the city of Knoxville. Bad radiological doctors have set their sights on your community

00:21and they're planning on expanding their negligent operation there. I'll show here a PDF for a

00:29Health Facilities Commission application review and this is dated October 22, 2025. This proposal

00:39is for an American Health Imaging location for the city of Knoxville. The address will be 326

00:49Lovell Road, Knoxville, zip code 37934. And this is near the campus of South College Parkside.

00:59So they may be targeting young women for routine mammogram scans. Residents of this community,

01:07you must do whatever it takes to ensure the doors of this operation never open. Do not allow AHI

01:17to hang their shingle out in your area. Please look around on the internet at some of the reviews of

01:25customers and patients who have dealt with these doctors and this company. And you'll see what I'm

01:31talking about. Stay tuned for the end of this video and I'll go into my own issues with American

01:36Health Imaging. I myself was a patient and customer in 2019. I have outstanding unresolved issues from

01:46this visit. I paid this company $500 cash for an MRI. Dr. Angus Baird, MD of Birmingham Radiological

01:55Group missed major head trauma based broken skull complications and injuries that appeared in the

02:03images that I got as part of my records. I tried to go back to the doctor, his radiological organization,

02:11and American Health Imaging itself. And I was met with closed doors and dead ends. None would help me

02:21resolve my problems after they took my money. It lists here the Knoxville AHI branch is estimated

02:28at costing around $6 million US. This will be an outpatient diagnostic center. If the project is

02:36approved, it's expected to open in April 2026. They're looking for customers in Knox Blunt and

02:44Lodon counties. The proposed freestanding ODC will occupy a one-story, 4,704-square-foot building.

02:52The Appalcan American Health Imaging of Tennessee has signed an option to lease agreement with Level

02:58Point LLC for an initial 60-month term with a target rent commencement date of December 1st,

03:052025. The applicant is owned by American Health Imaging, which is ultimately owned by Luxemma

03:12Imaging Equity Hold Co. LLC. A lot of useful information in this 217-page document. Among other

03:22things, they list here that as of 2023, the average gross MRI charge per procedure for all provider types

03:33was $2,495. I did a past video on American Health Imaging giving some info from a former employee of

03:44this company, CT Tech, and they mentioned their facility was given a 15-minute window for which a scan

03:55must be processed. This individual said their location was doing 18 scans per day. All right,

04:03the viewers to my channel will be well familiar with American Health Imaging. I tried to warn people

04:10about this company, which has branched out and expanded across the Birmingham, Alabama area in

04:17recent years. I was a patient and customer of American Health Imaging in 2019. They are affiliated

04:24locally with UAB St. Vincent's, formerly Ascension, and they used doctors with Birmingham Radiological

04:33Group locally. My opinion, if you had any dealings with American Health Imaging, you need to go back

04:39and check your stuff. Double check it, triple check it. You can go look at my videos on my channel to get

04:45some ideas about some of the others involved in these scams. Do not trust American Health Imaging.

04:51Do not trust their partners. After discovering I was misdiagnosed by Dr. Angus Baird, MD, I took this

05:00matter to the CEO of Birmingham Radiological Group, which oversees around 50 doctors. They would not put

05:08me in contact with this member doctor or help me in any way to resolve my own issues. I filed a complaint

05:15against Angus Baird, stemming from my own case with Alabama Board of Medical, Examiners and Licensure

05:23Commission. That complaint was thrown out, dismissed, despite the fact that I sent in the original images,

05:30which clearly show the injury in my head, versus the written report of this doctor, which claims I have

05:38no injury. All right, so in this call, I attempt to contact radiologist Angus Baird, MD. And this doctor,

05:48he read an MRI scan that I had done at American Health Imaging in Birmingham, Alabama, May 15th, 2019.

06:01This costs $500 cash. So in this scan, I was told that no injuries appeared. However, if you look at the

06:12images, you'll see that I have signs of head trauma. And I believe that I broke a bone in the underside of

06:24my skull. That's a basilar area, occipital condyle, condylar canal region. And you may be able to see

06:32infection in this area. And the pain in this area, this is the reason that I had this MRI scan done.

06:41It was missed by this radiologist. All right, so the phone number I found, it leads to

06:48Birmingham Radiological Group. And they tell me they can't connect me directly to the doctor,

06:56and I should call American Health Imaging, where I had the MRI scan done. So here I call American

07:04Health Imaging, Birmingham, Alabama. And although I had this scan done in 2019,

07:13this receptionist tells me that they don't deal with those doctors anymore. And yeah,

07:20I wonder why. I might actually know the reason. Tells me that I will have to go through another

07:28doctor, possibly have another MRI scan. And I paid $500 for this one already in order for them to do some

07:40kind of procedure and have this scan looked at again. And yes, I do not believe the statement

07:49that I'm giving here is correct. I paid for this service, the MRI scan itself, and the radiologist

07:57report. Injuries show up in the pictures. The doctor did not acknowledge the injury. And then a bit of an

08:08argument ensues. And I was hung up on by this call agent from American Health Imaging. So

08:17prospective customers out there, clients and business partners, apparently they don't stand

08:26behind their work. Yeah, and I mean, you know, my experience dealing with this, run around and

08:32excuses. You can see everything that happened to me regarding this issue. It's on my YouTube channel,

08:40My Medical Nightmare.

08:45Thanks for calling American Health Imaging. This is Jesse. How can I help you?

08:49Yes, ma'am. I was a patient at AHI in 2019. I had an MRI scan done. I had an injury show up in an MRI

08:58and I got a doctor's report saying no injury was present. I need to try to talk to somebody about

09:04having this MRI scan looked at again, please.

09:08So your doctor will have to request that. We can't...

09:11Okay, I was told to call you guys to get in touch with the doctor. Dr. Angus Baird.

09:18He doesn't work here no more. That's an old radiologist. We don't use those radiologists anymore.

09:24So again, like the doctor that referred you or just a new doctor you're going to now, you could

09:33have them have a new MRI done and they can do a... what is that? What is it called? Yeah,

09:46they can have an addendum done.

09:47Okay, well, I have a problem with an MRI that was taken that I paid money to you guys for

09:53that I got a report. It said I had no injuries and the injury shows up in this MRI.

09:59I need to try to get in touch with that doctor, please.

10:02Okay, so what I'm telling you is you can have your doctor that referred you to...

10:07I don't need a doctor. I'm calling you guys to get in touch with a doctor directly.

10:12If you would listen, I'm trying to tell you that...

10:15Well, you have to say something intelligible first, madam.

10:19I'm trying to explain to you how you can have this done.

10:22Okay, I was told to call you guys. I was told to call you guys and you would get me in touch

10:27with a doctor.

10:29Thank you for calling American Health Imaging.

10:32To reach A-R-A-N-T-S-C-O-T-T-Press-1, the party you are trying to reach is busy and cannot take your call.

10:46Please leave a message after the tone.

10:48Hello, sir. I was a patient at American Health Imaging 2019.

10:54They had an MRI scan done.

10:56This was looked at by Birmingham Radiological Group, Dr. Angus Baird, MD.

11:03Oh, yeah, the facility was Birmingham, Alabama, American Health Imaging, downtown near UAB Hospital.

11:09So I was told in the report by this doctor that I had no injuries appear in my MRI.

11:15I knew this was not the case.

11:18I got a copy of my images, and I found out I was misdiagnosed.

11:22I had a serious head trauma and evidence of a broken skull in the area of the Bachelors Skull Region,

11:30occipital condyle, condylar canal.

11:33And I've had a lot of problems trying to contact American Health Imaging and the doctors associated

11:40to possibly have this issue addressed, acknowledged, possibly have the imagery re-read or some kind of redress in this situation.

11:52I was a self-paid patient, self-referred, $500 cash payment.

11:58And, yeah, I called American Health Imaging last week.

12:02I was hung up on in the Birmingham facility by a girl.

12:08Her name was Jessie.

12:11I tried to call AHI corporate last week.

12:13I reached a call center in India, and I was told that someone would call me back.

12:20They took down my number, and I've not been contacted on this issue.

12:25Mr. Arendt, I think you need to look into this, please.

12:29This is a very serious error.

12:32I called Birmingham Radiological Group.

12:34They tell me I've got to go through you.

12:36I've got to go through you.
