In the latest public relations exercise for negligent radiologists Vulcan Imaging Associates, in Feb., 2025 they announced sponsoring a Mountain Brook Schools Girls Basketball (the regional championship at Jacksonville State). Vulcan paid for the ticket of the first 100 student attendees to sign up.
Vulcan Imaging has in the past sponsored events local to Birmingham, AL. near affluent communities.
I urge Mountain Brook and any other organization that is approached by this company to SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER their offer. Please look around the internet and due some due diligence on them before accepting.
The service of these MD's, is GREATLY lacking (they are also NOT TRUSTWORTHY, REPUTABLE, ACCOUNTABLE OR PROFESSIONAL), and in-part, because of their doctor's errors, I was l left with SEVEN FIGURES in damages in my own situation. The 40 MD strong radiology group is a partner of Saint Vincent's recently acquired by the University Of Alabama At Birmingham (UAB) (from Ascension).
I was a patient of Vulcan Imaging MD Michael Brant Ruff who missed 6 inches of infection in my head / neck and evidence of a broken skull injury I almost died from in 2019. I include my April, 2022 call with Vulcan's Kim Mooney. She presides over 37 radiologists doctors in their group. I was told by Mooney that they "100% Stand By" a report of their radiologist who missed serious injuries in the MRI. She did not elaborate on who "they" were however. Mooney does not possess a medical license. I was also told they do not consult with patients and there was nothing their company could do in regards to my request to have a 2019 MRI scan reread, in which their doctor Michael Brant Ruff, stated I had no injuries and in which evidence of around 6 inches head trauma and infection can be observed. They would not put me in contact with the doctor or attempt to correct the error of their doctor.
Mooney gave me the phone number to reach the company CEO Eric Blackman (strangely she would not transfer me to him or his voicemail despite working in the same office with him).
More on my attempt to call (University Of Tennessee honors graduate) Neuroradiology specialist Dr. Michael Brant Ruff MD (Vulcan Imaging):
I'm a patient attempting to have a misdiagnosed MRI reread (Broken Skull). The truth of my issue is I had broken the underside of my skull, over about a year the wound became infected and infested with some type of parasite.
