20 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Hartford, CT (2022 Updated)

I went to Chesapeake after my service year in AmeriCorps which served as my gap year after high school. I studied Computer Information Systems: PC & Network Management and also took part in the Honors Program as well. The classes within my field always proved beneficial and relatable to what I do on the job and also paved the way for my certifications. The general education courses served their purpose and prevented me from having to take any other ones when I transferred. If you didn't get immediately accepted into a university out of high school or if you're a returning student, Chesapeake is a great starting location to start your studies anew.Aaron Wilt

Love the staff, professors and credit/noncredit courses. They're easy to apply for and get help with no matter what time day or night within reasons.Denise Marie Hughes

Chesapeake's Wye Mills campus is beautiful and modern. Be sure to check out it's cafeteria, particularly the French-inspired specials!Heather Shoemaker Cease

First and foremost, Norwalk Community College was the first two-year college known since 1960, and they have been serving and assisting students in achieving the school readiness you have always desired but if you have struggled at some point. NCC will assist you in overcoming your obstacles to the point where you feel smart, confident, and accomplished. This college is my top choice because it is affordable, not overcrowded, has a super clean and safe building, and has no historically known hate crime in the area, which is an A+ in today's environment. There is plenty of parking, as well as the best tutoring center, which is a lifeline for students who want to improve their grades or need assistance with the curriculum. NCC carry the highest standard. They have the best tutoring service and professors who are committed to assisting students. All you have to do if you need help navigating any area at NCC is ask. The wonderful staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you, NCC. Continue to assist students to become the best versions of themselves.🤛🏼👊🏿🤝Laura S

It's a good starting school but extremely disorganized with idiots for employees. Dr Apple or apfel is a complete and total moron. She is so ungodly useless. She is extremely disorganized no wonder all of the students hate her. She wouldn't shake our hands because she said that's how germs are spread. Get rid of this delusional troll! She made an appointment for 12 and then when we got there said it was for 4pm. Um hello!? This school is so DISORGANIZED. If you're willing to put up with complete chaos for two years then go here. This school was better back in the day now it's a hell hole. The librarians are nice and some of the professors and the security officers are really nice but that's about it.Caitlin Campbell

Either believe the previous reviews of 'smelling like poverty and cigarettes', or understand that community college is the last place to find a living, breathing example of the American Dream. On top of that, NCC is the most well-funded community college, the most prestigious, and has the highest share of incredible professors than any other community college in the region. But it won't motivate you to succeed. You have to do that yourself. And if you do not find that drive within yourself in time, do not blame the college for your shortcomings. The opportunities are here and begging for you to take them.Ziggy Saks

This is a really good school if you’re all about your academics. I’ve had my good times and my bad times here at MCC. Overall on the academic side of MCC I appreciate all of the hard work that most of my professors have done. There are professors here that definitely need to be more qualified with what they are teaching as it has affected my grades when I’ve taken their courses. I am an Honor student here at MCC with a GPA of 3.30 and have never once had an issue with organization skills until my 2019 spring semester. A couple of the professors have been unorganized, no syllabus and sometimes they have other priorities when they have to teach a class in other words they put another professor in place when they have to go to another job. Although these were a couple of issues within my time here at MCC I enjoyed the experience of learning new knowledge for my future career. I really liked a lot of my professors but a couple of them have been a little rough. If you communicate with your professors about your issues that you’re having it really helps and shows that you’re determined to do your work and it shows you care about your work as well. Environment wise I’d have to say it’s not healthy (mentally/physically) and or good for many people. There have been students who have left garbage all over the place and don’t clean up after themselves which leads to maintenance having to clean it all up. With my time here I have helped maintenance clean up other people’s messes so they don’t have to worry about it as much. Also the amount of vaping, drug use, and underage drinking in the lounge is unacceptable and nothing has been done to take care of this issue except shutting the lounge down. I feel as if this does nothing but illustrates that they can go elsewhere within the college and do these things. An authority figure should really take this into consideration and do something about this because it affects others who have nothing to do with these people and it ruins people’s Health. You can smell weed from a mile away and if people have asthma or a health condition this could affect them physically. I do not appreciate this at all and I wish something was done about it. The other big issue environmentally is the fact that the main cafeteria can get very loud and some students have no manners and do not respect others around them. If they are asked to quiet down they do the opposite It has gotten to the point where a lot of people have complained and yet nothing is done to prevent this from happening again. The college needs to have some control over what students do and take action on these issues. I wish that there could be some changes here and I hope for the best for everyone at MCC. Overall it is a good school for your academics but is definitely not a mentally healthy place environmentally. Even if you try to get away and go somewhere else for privacy somehow drama follows behind you. A Tip would be after your classes go home if you can or go to the back of the library in the quiet study room. I wish everyone the best of luck here at MCC and hope that everything goes well.Carmella H

So I will start with sharing my positive highlights of the fall semester during covid. Some teachers were empathetic to the situation the entire nation went through. Prof. Muldoon did such an amazing job touching base and gaining clarity of students frustration and technical difficulties during this time. Prof Diane. Hillyer OMG if I were ever to be a college professor I’d want to have her passion and dedication. She’s a math angel, truly loves her job and her videos were perfect! Now chemistry online and labs online were a joke!!! The professor did not make enough office hours, used YouTube videos from other teachers, used repetitive templates for each week lesson with no data. If I wanted to learn chemistry that way I could’ve honestly gone on Edx.org for FREE and probably have learned the curriculum better. I might of missed 1 assignment and handed in 1 assignment 10 mins late and didn’t receive the grade or support needed. But unfortunately as a paying student I just have to deal with it, 2k down the drain! Funny thing I am also a teacher during covid and actually work in the building with student and never would I have ever made my students feel isolated like this professor did. I’ve never seen or heard my chemistry teachers voice but I’m pretty sure they got paid every two weeks while there’s probably many qualified teachers that could have done a way better job. I was warned about this professor but I learned the hard way. The school overall has a nice faculty and I feel like the majority do care. This is unfortunate when professor get so accustomed to a repetitive lifestyle because blackboard actually graded my exams so again not sure what some professor did during Covid behind the scene and so-called virtual teaching. This is a a good school to start or to get the credits needed for a post-Bach. I decided to go to a private school with a more dedicated team and more virtual teaching experience.Dignora Castillo

I was a potential international student and found Manchester Community College a great place to go. I called the first time and wasn’t able to talk to the responsible for international students but left my phone number and email. Umesh sent me an email saying he would give me a call. He did, two days later and was rude and impatient since the moment I picked up the phone and was acting like he was doing me a favor to call me. He said I should go back to my country and take my visa there instead of changing my status here, which is not up to him, was questioning how I was gonna become a student and more. I can’t even explain how rude and disrespectful he was to me who was just trying to make an appointment to go to the campus and get more informations in person about fees and the I20. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, specially for international students! Very disappointedRayane Michelle

I first came to Goodwin for a Manufacturing Career Fair on August 2014. My plan going in was to improve/expand my professional network but after introducing myself to the two ladies at the front door, I was escorted to the admissions office. During this impromptu meeting I learned of their range of Manufacturing programs ranging from a Collegiate Certificate to Bachelor's Degrees. The lady I met with was very nice so I decided to let her run through her whole pitch before refusing. After she finished running through her speech I was about to politely decline when my eyes fell upon a pamphlet detailing their Certificate in CNC Machining. My attitude switched from polite dismissal to serious consideration. By the time the holiday season was in force, I had officially enrolled. From the Spring 2015 – Fall 2016 semesters, I experienced the most fulfilling education of my life. Classes tailored to my major were taught by professors with real-life experience in the manufacturing field. Knowledge gained from operating machines in the school's shop helped me secure my first manufacturing based job (which at the time of this review, I have been at for over a year). Around two weeks ago I walked in the 2017 Commencement with my CNC Certificate AND Associate's Degree (Summa Cum Laude!!!). Making the choice to again become a student with Goodwin College is one I do not regret, in spite of my now increased loan debt. Looking for a quality education with real life application? This school should be on the top of your list!Trevor Deming

I graduated in 2006 with a General Business Degree the Staff and Faculty were all very helpful and on top of their jobs. I signed back for classes in 2013 for my Bachelor's Degree in Business unfortunately the staff and faculty changed in a Very Negative way. I had Mr. Rotondo as my Advisor who had me taking classes that i had previously taken also the Black Board Online classes system kept going down I another class were i completed the work on time but their system did not register my work it had been idled for 36 or more hours and never registered my work causing me a NS for the class this caused a snowball affect to the downfall of me no longer attending classes. I talked with Professor Valeria he advised i write some sort of letter which i did explaining the double classes Mr. Rotondo had me take due to him not paying attention to my previous classes for He was my teacher in 2004-2006. I wrote the letter and i have not heard Anything back from Goodwin They just cost my family Time and Money.Callie Faison

So far I love the complex, the professor are really nice and helpful. They want you to pass the class for sure. The only thing I can complain is for the service of Financial Aid. I am a transfer from Lincoln College and when I was about to change they explain me that it would be cheaper or about the same. Before classes start I went to Financial Aid to see how much it was going to cost me, but they didn't have any information of me yet. Then I received a message saying "to not go to financial aid" I could start right away. I went again the day before start and they couldn't tell me anything. They charge already for the semester, it shown in my credit report, this is my third week of class and I do not even know if is the same as Lincoln, more expensive or less.Christian Diaz

It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review but I am in hopes of MCPHS revising their admissions process for the Physician Assistant Program. I know that I was not the only student this year that was invited to interview and then closed out of an interview spot and placed on a waiting list. When I contacted MCPHS they told me that I may not get to interview after all as they had accidentally invited too many people to interview and did not have the resources to open up more interview dates even though acceptances are not on a rolling basis. How does a top tier medical university not have the resources to interview all the students they invited? By choosing to interview solely the people that happened to secure spots first, not only are they limiting the potential of their incoming class and proving that they only care about filling the spots for monetary reasons, but they are limiting the future of numerous successful students who worked hard to get an interview invitation. When I asked Jordan Hunt (admissions counselor) to make sense of this she was unable to provide a competent answer besides that the university messed up and the incoming students are the ones facing the repercussions. I’m not writing this for myself, but for the other students who were too timid to speak up or who had chosen this school as their top choice and then got screwed. I truly feel bad for some of the other incoming students who do not have other options and were relying on MCPHS. I am very disappointed. MCPHS either needs to change their interviewing process to rolling acceptances (interviewing the top tier students first and then going down the line) or they need to use this model but be willing to open up more dates in case of overflow. Side note: They informed me that students on the waiting list could be notified up to a day before an interview that a spot had opened up. Do they not take into consideration that everyone doesn’t live near Boston or works full-time? Extremely dissatisfied with this supposedly “top tier” medical college.Maddy Frank

Hey guys, good for all the students giving great remarks. I don't know if the school has paid you. I must say i was in the nursing program , ( the set that started 2005) the teachers were very bad. Everything was very difficult, out of 50 students that got into the nursing program only 15 students or even less that graduated from the program. Judy Murphy was very racist, no room for improvement. It was a very bad school. I will recommend another school any day any time as matter off fact the school needs to refund money back to students that paid for tuition. All they care about is your money and not the students. It was a very traumatic experience. It was one of the worst decision i have ever made in life to attend that college. I Owe up to 100,000 in debt with no nursing degree to show for. I thank the Almighty God i got my degree from another school with no stress or frustration. Guys open your eyes and look for another school. I wish you all luck in your careers endeavors.louisa ngige

I just finished my second-year in PharmD program in MCPHS. I’m gonna transfer to Worcester to study the accelerated program. I have had great time in MCPHS so far. All professors are very nice and friendly. I haven’t met any professor who’s not willing to help student wholeheartedly. They always have office hours to answer students’ inquiries and to clarify the lecture in case the students don’t understand. There are absolutely no discrimination in MCPHS. It’s all about respect. Every MCP student is very welcoming so we have a very close-knit community in MCP. The program is well-designed and bearable. Sometime I feel overwhelmed but it’s not impossible to pass as many people say. You just need to put time and effort and you’ll be fine. In short, MCPHS is a great university for those who seriously pursuit a professional career in pharmacy and health sciences.Bill Nguyen

My name is Meir Uteshov and I am a recent graduate of ASA College, class of 2015. As F-1 visa international student, I would say that ASA College is a great place for our educational and career goals. Professors are responsive and very collaborative as well as helpful. During my education in ASA College I was able to make friends with students from different parts of world. The most of them are my lifetime friends now. Classes are not too big. Therefore, providing a tremendous opportunity to study and excel your knowledge and/or skills. I would recommend international students to study in ASA College if they want to be ready to compete within existing job market and get a job they are looking for. One of the benefits of ASA College is providing an internship opportunity. My internship experience in engineering company was extremely interesting and fulfilling where I gained a valuable and measurable work experience. All in all, the college is great for those who is determined and dedicated in favor of their future career/professional goals.Meir Uteshov

Coming from a foreign country, ASA gave me the opportunity and platform to really become a great version of myself and for that I'll be forever grateful. I've had so many good experiences in this school, the professors are amazing and the support for the student activities are wonderful beyond belief. The diversity, location and career services are only a few of their many great aspects. I was able to get a job opportunity at a very prestigious organization using the skills learned at ASA. I am currently in the student government and getting involved with projects that will look good on my resume and open even more doors for my future academic and professional self. I recommend this school to everyone looking to learn skills you actually use in the real world and with an interest of having an active student life. I promise you all the hard work will pay off!Esthefania Abreu

ASA College gave me the opportunity to get my first degree in Medical Assisting in the USA, and also to gain useful experience through work in the admission office. That was even more convenient for me to have school and work in the same building. The professors were very accessible, understanding and always ready to assist with any help or piece of advice. I will never forget them. Good thing is that every student have their advisor to help them with academic issues. The most helpful department at ASA College turned out to be the Career Services which assisted me with my first interview preparation. I can't thank them enough for help with my resume and with job application. After my internship they found me a job in medical field right after my graduation. All that helped me to become more confident and determined to go for my goals! Thank You ASA College!Joanna Nienaltowska

You would think that this school being a “community college” they are more understanding of financial situations and are more efficient with financial aid an other “programs” they offer. Not this school! Not only does every single person in the financial aid office treat you just like another person asking for handouts but depending on what staff you run into behind the desk you might not even get the correct information! I went to the financial aid office yesterday due to the fact that I found out when trying to register for classes for spring 2018 that I was on a financial “probation” these people gave me NO NOTICE NO CALL NO NOTHING but that’s the least of my worry at this point. I go to their office the girl behind the desk had told me due to me getting a D in my math class last semester of 2017 financial aid was skeptical about covering classes for this upcoming semester so I would have to appeal( good thing I came a week before registRtion was over ) I appeal the form then I get a notice in the mail saying I’ve been only approved for 1 class this semester up to 6 credits. I was a little bothered, but I took it, I go down to finally register once again! Then I was told I didn’t have enough for books an technically they were only covering up to 3 credits an my class is 4 so I owe the school clerk a balance of $23.00 and now I’m also expected to pay for my text book. 6 days before class starts … what happened to the notice they sent me that said they cover up to six credits???? literally because I struggled in my math class last semester an got a D I’m going through all this torture as someone who is barely able to pay my own freaking bills at 20 an living by myself just trying to get my own education, every Semester it’s something else with this school the office people SUCK they are there for a job an that’s it. Then When you ask to speak to someone in charge of financial aide they torture you with hold for atleast a good 20 minutes on the phone ( probably praying for you to hang up) unless your willing to take 2 and three trips down to the office which is no problem probably for someone who doesn’t works full time.so now that the semester is getting ready to start an they feel like they did their part by covering the “majority” of my class (3 out of 4 credits, which my paper says they should cover up to 6 credits at least but whatever) I’m now expected to fend for myself an purchase a $200 text book within the next six days. Boy I can’t wait to be successful in my near future an to look back on the mistreatment an lack of support from this school an tell it to others as a learning experience an as a recommendation to never attend here just because of the thought of it being “cheaper” or “local” because u get what u paid for an these people’s attitude is just as cheap as the tuition they offer for a class an they lack what REAL schools have an that’s staff that cares about their students and the well being of others. An to make sure they give right answers these schools double triple quadruple check their work! If you attend TRCC as a freshman with no idea what your doing I suggest looking for support else where because this is not the school, they throw you in an don’t give a damn, not informative or helpful what so ever an definetly misleading . Always takes at least 3 visits to the school to ever get something rectified. Or a 20-30 min hold on the phone each time your trying to get the very little information that they are able to provide. Can’t wait to transfer✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽sytira charles

Professors and fellow students are great but the administration and admissions process is a night mare. Little to no help to navigate threw the process. No one is willing to answer question. They always refer you to another person. Example: Me: Can you please tell me how I can access the wifi here? Advisor: You will have to contact a student advisor for that. Me: :/ Avoid online courses here. Professor did not make access easy. Not clear as to what material is needed. If professor isn't able to help you navigate course or they themselves aren't sure of what to do you will still be responsible for payment. Only time in my life I hired a professional service and they were unable to preform paid for task and I was still responsible for payment. And of course there is no one available to talk to about this and if there is no one knows who it is to refer you. If you do decide to take courses here try to make friends with other students that have already been threw the admissions/ administration nightmare. Don't take online. Don't expect assistance if you get lost along the way.Louis Maro

1: I registered for a class and dropped it a before week prior to it starting, boy was I in for a surprise bill. $120 for a class I didn’t even step foot in, let alone it didn’t even start when I dropped it. What a SCAM. Of course I had no choice but to pay it. So just be cautious when you’re registering for a class, because you cannot change you’re mind and not expect to pay a fee even if the class hasn’t begun. 2: If you’re “graduating” be sure to wait months for your actual diploma to be delivered. Very unorganized system they have going there. I graduated in may and have yet to receive any proof of it. My transcript is still not updated with my current degree and my diploma is who knows where. Sucks. 3. If you’re receiving financial aid and you’re registered for a class and the school decides they want to cancel it, be prepared to repay financial aid back.S G

I will be completely honest. I did some PSEO courses here and thought it was a nice campus. There is some struggles and problems with the school, but nothing to make this not a choice for a college. Teachers are nice, most of the students are fine and just do there own thing, there is a couple of clubs and activities, and the class sizes see to be reasonable (smaller than JMHS). I think it is a good campus and should be considered an opinion and not thrown to the curb when looking for local colleges.Burner Account

What a joke… My wages are currently being levied for a semester I did not even get to attend! The Financial Aid/Counselor I worked with helped me sign up for all the classes needed for that semester but did not inform me that I had no available financial aid. By the time, I discovered this (3 weeks into class) it was too late to withdraw without paying full price. I called multiple people at the school but all refused to help or did not know how to help. Terrible practices.Nicholas Inman

Though some teachers care quite a bit the majority could care less about you and more about there personal life. Scared to walk around without being robbed. Worst school I have ever been too. Curriculum is nothing short of a disappointment. And to request help from anyone you might as well be strung up and laughed at in the main entry.Samantha Erickson

When I was looking into going to Ross I was a little apprehensive because I wasn't sure if this program was really any good. From the minute I walked in the door all my apprehension was gone!! The admissions staff made me feel right at home and walked me through the process step by step and answered all my questions. The financial aid staff was wonderful and answered all my questions about my financial aid and got it processed quickly. The school director was absolutely the best!! She takes time to actually sit you down and find out how you are doing in your courses and she is available to fix any problems you may have. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable about the subjects they are teaching you and are also available to answer any questions and offer whatever help you may need. Career services literally will not stop looking for employment for you until you have a job in your field. The best decision I ever made was going to Ross and it has literally changed my life forever!!Carol Riddle

Honestly so disappointed. A complete lack of communication from day one. Today should be my graduation date, and I can't even get an email response about anything. The education I received was so far off track from what I was told I would receive (Billing and Coding) and I think I might be qualified to answer phones and make minimum wage now that I am done. I get plenty of communication about sharing on social media but cannot even get a response about what I am to do next now that my qualifications for completion are met. Not even something stating I am done. I completed my externship then nothing. Like I dropped off their map.Betsie Reed

Updates needed for the sake of the teachers and students as far as efficacy goes. Machinery such as autoclaves and centrifuge could stand to be updated as well. All staff and personnel at Ross is absolutely wonderful and I have and will continue to sing this school's praises. I can't believe how quickly time flies when you're having fun learning and meeting others with the same goals. All teachers were extremely personable and helpful. I will miss my Ross family when I go, but I am so proud of myself and feel so accomplished for exceeding my own expectations here.Renae Cunningham

Although my professors have been awesome, the university as a whole is horribly disorganized and mismanaged. The various staff of different departments are uniformly rude and uninformed. I've gotten wrong and/or misleading information on basic protocol literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I've spoken with someone (where do I submit work study requests? Can I still carry student insurance if I'm part-time?) Regarding the insurance, I was told "yes" by 2 different pople. HOWEVER, the answer to that is it's automatically cancelled when you register online for classes and it is received as part-time, so then you have to re-enroll as a new client at a higher rate. I found this out when I was trying to fill a prescription and after much investigation found out that my insurance had been cancelled. This is one of the MANY problems I've experienced with Southern administration. Equally as faulty, is the technology "services" that Southern uses. Windows 7 computers in the computer labs that take (no joke) 5-20 mins to log you on if there are more than 3 people in the room and remote printing that requires an installation on your laptop every time you want to use it. This is recommend since you'll otherwise sit for 20 mins for the lab computer to log on and then progress to opening and printing a file at the speed of dial-up. If you need to reach anyone (computing services, the bookstore) for questions, you'll be strained to find contact info outside of the (203)392-SCSU main office number. A detailed Google search rarely finds the phone numbers associated with specific offices. Most recently, for the past month as Southern has started the fall semester, their network has become so overloaded that the mail server periodically un-syncs all of my devices from their email (iPhone, Mac) so I don't get mail or know that an email I sent never actually sent, since it doesn't appear in ANY outbox or draft folder from any device. But since it happens off-and-on, as the SCSU network comes and goes as it pleases, I've not known about the missed emails until someone tells about a group email I missed. Lastly, and kinda most importantly, Southern's crap internet system occasionally doesn't recognize my password for Bannerweb, email, and Blackboard. Confoundingly, this doesn't occur on these applications all in one sitting. MANY TIMES I've sat and typed my password into Blackboard 5+ times and magically after repeated entries it suddenly works!!! Always had the same problem logging into "myscsu" and trying to get my email back online to the Southern server. Recommendation: If you're enrolling as a full-time undergraduate, I would HIGHLY recommend looking for a school elsewhere because you're DEFINITELY not getting your money's worth at this institution. Note: they also have no funding for student work study anymore, so don't count on that for extra money/tuition expenses. If you're taking classes part-time, for a job or continuing education, it will be a frustrating experience, but not a total waste of money. Botton line, I rated 2 stars because the professors and experiences with classmates have been awesome this past year, but the university as a whole is beyond frustrating.Jennifer Vollmer

im usually not the type of person to be negative and leave lengthy reviews but this is so necessary being that im so extremely disappointed with this school! I went for a tour in November of 2017 fell in love with the campus so I decided to apply as a transfer student in April of 2018! I sent in my fee waiver form April 20th I was told it takes 2-3weeks to hear back from the school, ok cool! here it is a MONTH later still no response, nor any communication to even let me know they've received my fee waiver form and that id be hearing from them soon or whatever the case may be just complete silence!!! not to mention the students that answer the phone are very rude and snappy! I withdrew my application and applied to Iona college! I applied with them got an acceptance letter, got my financial situation settled, paid my deposit all within a week, easy as 1,2,3 as it SHOULD be. Its an excellent school with a countless number of awards, i feel as though the process of applying to schools should be as easy and stress free as possible! Im extremely dissatisfied with my experience with this school it literally had everything I was looking for campus wise, but everything happens for a reason and being that Im going into the education field I've been told from numerous amounts of educators that im better off getting a job, with a degree from Iona under my belt. The purpose of this review is not to trash talk or to persuade anyone into not applying here but rather to allow others to be aware of what they may possibly come into contact with when applying to this school and perhaps a change can come about for the next student. : ) Blessings.Alexa Griffin

If I could give Southern zero stars I absolutely would. They are extremely unorganized, they don't care about you as a student AT ALL.. They cancelled a BIO class that I really needed a week before classes start. I emailed the head of the department asking for a solution and all I got was a too bad.. Now because of this I have to attend an extra semester and will not be graduating in time.. They offer classes at odd times which makes it hard for you to sign up for classes back to back, so far the professors I had don't care about you and are not understanding.. I graduated from Western Connecticut and I never had a problem with them and now because of Southern I have to spend more of my time and money that I don't have…Barbara Monteiro

From the first day I came in to visit the school until I graduated, everybody on campus was fantastic. Any time I needed help or was struggling, there was always somebody to help point you in the right direction. Everybody I have come into contact with has been extremely helpful. Throughout your program, you will remain in contact with a success coach, for me this was Mr. Hollis. Your success coach will reach out and contact you just to check up on how you're doing and see if there is anything that they can help with. Coming from a 4 year institution, I did not the advantage of a success coach and this adds a level of accountability which helps you to succeed. I have never met more down to earth individuals who truly care about helping you to succeed.Zachary Baker

I just finished one of Concorde’s many medical programs. My admissions advisor was Mr. Todd Hollis, although I believe he works primarily in the business office now, he was a great first impression as to the kind of people Concorde has working for them to help the students succeed. Mr. Hollis answered any and all of the questions I had. He walked me through the step by step application process over the phone as I was completely things on my computer at home. During my time as a Concorde student, Mr. Hollis would always stop and ask me how things we going and always reiterate that he was there to help. All of staff at Concorde really care about the students and want to see them succeed!Kourtney Payne

My name is Mya Griffin and I just completed the Medical Assistant program. All I can say is this school alone was absolutely amazing, but I couldn't start or get through my certification without the help of Mr. Todd Hollis. I thank Mr. Hollis for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. If you are thinking about going to Concorde Career College I recommend you go through Mr. Hollis he will make sure to motivate you if you don't have any I promise.Mya Griffin

Medical Assisting Degree Program, Louisville, KY Its scary going back to school, especially college. I was worried when I started in 2017 that I had told all these people about my new goal in life and the first semester already feeling like giving up and letting everyone that cheered me on down. But I kept pushing and moving forward and it got easier and easier and ATA and the teachers really encourage you, the first semester was really hard for me but there was so many teachers that checked on me and helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. ATA IS THE PLACE TO BE. You will make the best decision of your life if you come to this school. Here I am graduating in May with my Associate Degree in Medical Assisting. And I have been on the Honor Roll each semester. You can do it ! Come to ATA.Joy Shacklett

Been in the Limited Medical Radiography Program with Medical Assisting, and it has been AMAZING! Love the small classes! & The Instructors are by far the most involved with every student and are dedicated to them as well. Very passionate in their teaching. All of the staff from ATA from Admissions and Financial Aid and Student Services are also very dedicated, helpful and GREAT! Last but not least The President! He is super uber Amazing! He visits the classes, greets every student, personally hands out the Honors or President Awards to the students who've earned them. Also looks for better ways to improve ATA. So, if you're looking for a College to Attend to, ATA College is where its at!! 😀dulce matlala

I have been attending ATA since may 2017 and I am proud to say that I will be finished December 15, 2017. The staff at ATA are truly amazing and a blessing. They push you and help you so much throughout your Journey. Attending ATA has been one of the best decisions that I have made. If your looking to further your education in the medical field ATA is a great place to start that Journey. The staff is always there to help they have one on on interaction with students if the they need to help and they are always there to help you throughout your journey through school and after you have graduated. I want to think all the staff at ATA for this amazing experience I am truly grateful.Courtney Brown

This will probably be a review that management will never see or just consider another “complaining patient.” This is a huge hospital company so this will not mean anything but if anyone is thinking about bringing their little one here, try somewhere else. My son (1yrs old) was sent here from urgent care his o2 stat was low and trouble breathing. We got put in a room with another person, not admitted. They gave a treatment and never re assessed him, left him for 3 and a half hours. My husband tried to ask the nurse if she can check him again.. never came back. He then had to complain to the charge nurse which she gave us a number for patient experience- which I know will go know where. We are one patient among thousands, and feel like we’re expressing our feelings that will go in one ear and out the other since they’re just a big company. It’s sad that there wasn’t any concern for my poor baby to even get the least amount of care.the bare minimum. Not even above and beyond just check on him atleast!! I understand there are priority patients, but how does one know if he is a priority with his repository issues if he hasn’t even been checked on. Unacceptable. My husband is a healthcare provider and this is NOT quality care.taybabe

I am at a complete loss. We have made and cancelled appointments for my son with a doctor at ccmc and we can’t get him there. No one asks why we can’t get there. Just says okay, we’ll cancel. When I attempt explain his illness, no one cares. We were referred to this doctor because he has a great reputation and the fact he was familiar with my son’s illness. Now my son will consider to suffer with a serious life altering illness until I can find another doctor who understands his illness. It is disappointing how service has decreased at the hospital in the last few years. I won’t get into our ER experience last year. If your child does not have a well known illness, go elsewhere.Tarra Baron

My son has a hemangioma that was growing incredibly close to his eye. The team quickly assessed and recommended a plan of treatment that we were able to begin within a week. The plan required us to have a 5 hour long appointment so that he could be monitored for his first dose of the medication. I was there for 5 hours with my 2 year old and my 2 month old and they could not have made the experience better for us. The staff were all amazing and kind. Staff consistently checked on us and every question I had was listened to and answered with great detail. I was very impressed with our experience!Lynelle Wibberley

I don't know where to begin. Being frustrated and feeling as though I am giving the runaround, trying to get my diploma and trying to get my official transcript from a school that never answers a phone call during business hours. I never had to rely on a voicemail message to get back in contact with me due to miss understanding of phones calls. I have set up a payment arrangement back in May 2021, and I was told that if I miss a payment out of six months I will have to start all over again. I have been making payments and unfortunately was told that I missed three payments but look at my account and I see they're taking money out of my account. But still won’t give me my diploma. The staff is very rude and have not sympathy or compassion about the students other are trying to make something out of themselves in life. Talking to the staff is like hopping and excepting. Staff that not willing to work with you to try to help me. I've been only help by Miss Sherry, which I was told no longer works there. She's been the only person helping me getting my diploma and trying to get everything situated. I feel frustrated disappointed disgusted and hurt that I can't even depend on the school that I thought would help me succeed in life. This is hurtful and I would not wishes upon no one else. I work so hard live alone have no family here and you're telling me that I can't get any of my transcripts or I can't get my diploma because you guys messed up on your end and you're making me suffer which is not right and unacceptable. As much as I talk about you guys school and the staff that helps me and for someone to sit there and make me feel as though it's my fault is unacceptable. Question would you want to recommend a school to someone? For me at this point I will say no because I see that they're not even trying to help at all but take my money and won't give me my diploma or my transcripts I need to speak to someone and the corporate office as a CEO or CFO that can help meMoquatin Washington

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Every campus that I have spoken to someone on the phone has been rude and dismissive and not willing to help… I attended the nursing program in 2016…completed one semester…and had to withdraw from the second (before it started) because My son was having health issues. They told me to come back whenever I wanted that they would gladly accept me back into the program where I left off… which was absolutely not true! When I tried to go back….i was told I could be accepted into the current semester…Which would have been fine except….they were changing the curriculum the following semester…Which if I would have gone back would have forced me to start all over again…. Also, When I asked If I would be able to have a financial credit for the first semester that I completed because they changed the curriculum, I was told to speak with the head of the nursing dept and then she told me that was a question for financial aid who then referred me back to the nursing dept head…and they both said that they couldn’t help me. Don’t waste your time nor effort here. $24,000 down the drain for absolutely nothing! And not only that, But when you try to have your transcripts sent, it takes forever to actually get a hold of someone…and with the rude staff on the phone at every single campus it’s ridiculous!Melissa Kloess

I’m so happy I came across the Arizona College of Allied Health on google. I requested to receive more information about the college and not even a few days later I get a text from Justin. Justin was very nice and gave me so much information that helped me decide this was the college for me. Before I came here I was at Community Colleges for the last 5 years completing only prerequisites not even in a program yet. When Justin told me I would graduate next year in July getting my DA diploma I was beyond excited. I can’t thank Justin enough for all his help. I just got done with my first track passing all my classes. I could have not done it without Ms. Vosteen. She is the best teacher I’ve ever had at all the schools I’ve been to. I am going to miss being in her classes but I am so excited to continue my journey. Thank you Arizona College of Allied Health for everyone there that I’ve seen have all been so nice and some teachers actually joke around with students instead of being so serious and rude it’s so refreshing being able to be in a environment with teachers like that.Ashley Brandon

From reading all the 5 Star review's on here I decided to give this place a shot. Today was my first visit but I instantly felt very comfortable. Everybody I interacted with was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Right from the very first phone call I made, the receptionist was able to get me in for an appointment the very next day! Thank you! Upon arrival the front desk was very warm and welcoming, also very helpful which made for a speedy check in and check out. Thank you to all front desk staff! Afterwards to the hygienist..(personally this is what I look for when choosing the right place for me since I get 3 cleanings a year) Special shout out to Rachel for making Blue Back Dental that place for me.. Best cleaning I've ever had! I really look forward to seeing her again soon. She was very patient, friendly, and informative from start to finish! From taking new pictures of my teeth and explaining everything to me in detail step by step right down to the very end of my cleaning which was a very thorough cleaning! Thank you, thank you Rachel! lastly I met Dr Wendy Austin. She explained everything that was going on with my teeth in detail, things to my surprise my last Dr missed! She addressed all my concerns and made me feel at ease. I'm looking forward to seeing her again soon and very confident that she'll take really good care of my teeth in the future. I highly recommend this place to anyone that's looking for a new dentist!Sal Y

Let’s start by saying that after some traumatic dental visits, I have become a baby when it comes to all things tooth related. I had to find a new dentist after moving to CT from NJ, and Blue Back Dental has outstanding reviews. I decided to give them a try, and I’m glad I did. Dr. Wu is kind, patient, gentle, and explained everything as we went along. He also said we could take as many breaks as I needed. The office has many high tech devices, so lots of things can be done in one visit. Everyone I’ve met so far who works at Blue Back Dental is extremely nice, helpful and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for putting me at ease and taking such wonderful care of me! I highly recommend this dental group, and I’m so glad I chose Blue Back Dental!re: becca

I had an amazing experience during my second appointment at Blue Back Dental. My new Dentist Dr. Elizabeth Holzhauer was extremely welcoming and educated me on every question I asked. Her assistant Kat was very helpful and attentive. I am so impressed with the customer service I received. I also want to give a huge shout out to my dental hygienist Ruth. She is the reason I chose to come back for the services I needed done. Her caring and calm presence is exactly what I needed during my 1st appointment. Thank you all for going above and beyond to make me confident in the care I am receiving.Melissa Stevens

I am an alumni class from several years ago. When I was there the environment was great and it is nice to know, it still is! I hear about it from both younger siblings class of 2018 and 2021. Most of the teachers are remarkable and truly care for their students. The trade classes become small families and the trade school teachers are experts in their fields. My pet peeve are the rules not being equally applied and not always being just. My example are the students with family working in the school; they do get special privileges such as not getting in trouble when others would. I seen it when I was there and still see it. The school is typically great with rules and discipline. Maybe it is all schools who knows. I wish the school would have expanded larger before adding more students each year because when it comes to graduation it is very hard to squeeze as many people into the small gym. I'm glad the sports have expanded since being there! It is great that the school is always renovating, clean and well organized. Hopefully they will eventually find more space for all the new classes, shops, sports, groups and students they keep adding.A.M. F

My son was very disappointed when he found out he was on the waiting list and honestly I feel discriminated because he has all a’s currently and had a’s and b’s last semester. And his attendance percentage is a 92 and would’ve been higher, but we went on vacation and we lost a couple days and he still did his work on his computer so his grades stayed the same. And his colleague has C’s and D’s and has the same attendance percentage as my son and he got accepted and my son didn’t and honestly we feel very disappointed in this school because they told me that the reason why my son didn’t get accepted and is on the waiting list is because of his attendance and my sons colleague has the same attendance as him and he got accepte d with worse gradesCarla Darosa

There are many silly kids reviewing who do so because they performed poorly in school. Don't listen to them. 3 stars because the technical education is a must! Regardless of if the shops are your calling, you have a job leaving high school. That's huge. However, they don't always handle students well. Even the students who performed poorly could do with better care, because as a student who does what they're supposed to I had to deal with so many bad students. REALLY bad. The school isn't actually exclusive. Its definitely worth it though in the sense that its the best you'll get in this county. I don't know if thats saying much.Jazzy G

Seeing Dr. Gutierrez has always given me the tranquility one feels when you know you are receiving a good and reliable service. I had the need to see him because I felt one of my implanted molars was somewhat loose. The scheduling of this visit was understood by the scheduling person to be critical and found alternatives for the following day. I went and my problem was solved quickly by Dr. Gutierrez and it was clear to me that he had studied my case ahead of the visit, had taken actions to prepared for possible situations and after evaluating my condition quickly solved the problem. He provided me with advice on what to do and what he could do, if different scenarios occurred. It gave me a good feeling.Alejandro Azuaje

If you are looking for a great dentist and caring team, look no more! I was a new patient, and the professionalism and friendliness of the whole team was outstanding. Dr. Gutierrez and his entire team were honest, informative, and caring. They spent the time needed to address any questions I had. My hygienist, Allison, was very patient, warm, and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service by Roxanne, Marissa, and Michelle. From the first day I visited this office I’ve felt as though I’ve been cared for and treated like family. Great office, super hi-tech and innovative approach to dentistry. Highly recommended!Tommy Tommy

I cannot say enough….Kate and Dr. G are awesome! I have never had a better cleaning or a dentist that has taken such care with a tooth repair. Kate is a master hygienist and Dr. G is an artist with great skill in all aspects of tooth care and repair. His chair-side manner, sense of humor and gentle care make your entire experience barnone..and I generally have great anxiety associated with dental visits! Don't hesitate, the whole team is just great!!!!Sabrina Hull

The LEO clinic is efficient, flexible, and accommodating to their clients. The intake process was not overwhelming and Carlos made sure my daughter would receive the best tailored care based on her personal needs. This is truly a remarkable place that offers numerous treatment plans or programs that are beneficial to both clients and parents in order to be successful. My child is a much more well rounded individual because of her involvement with LEO clinic. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who’s child is struggling with mental health issues and needs a therapeutic outlet.Kara Pitt

10/10 experience with NETI. Miss Deirdre reached out to me the day I completed the online forum on their website to get started in the dental assistant program. Within weeks I was enrolled in the course. Our instructor, Miss Ana, was professional, confident, and extremely intelligent when it came to the dental assistant profession. She was very knowledgeable and helped us learn by sharing her own personal experiences. I feel very confident moving forward in my new career and would highly recommend enrolling today! Thank you Miss Deirdre, Miss Ana, and Doctor Aruri for establishing such a great program.Rachel S

The best school ever for dental assisting. Ms. Ana who is the instructor made learning so easy. I also like that we are able to learn in a real dentist office to get a generalization of what we will be doing when we are working. Also, would like to say Ms. Deirdra was a excellent help with making sure I can get this program paid for and helped where ever necessary. Overall, I've learned a lot and I'm excited for my journey to come.Tee Fields

I attended New England teaching for dental assisting and it was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. My instructor, Ms. Anna, was extremely knowledgeable and broke down everything in a way where it was easy to understand and retain. I highly encourage anyone looking to start a new career in dental assisting to attend this institute. I promise you won’t regret it.Aysia Quinones

The service was superb! I had an emergency, I called and they fit me into their schedule! Let me explain a little further— my tooth started hurting last Friday. I called Sat morning and they told me to come in on that same day! They took X-rays and it turned out I needed that tooth extracted. The doctor fit me in for today, because I’m leaving tomorrow for Puerto Rico!!! Today my service was amazing. Felt a little nervous but the staff and doctor took good care of me. 15 mins later the tooth was out, no pain, and they made sure to go over all of the aftercare with me! When I come back from school, I will def go back and establish my care with Arch Dental!Nathalie Phillips

Arch Dental is a fine establishment with staff who go above and beyond for their patients. They ensure that patients are well informed concerning the plan of care and even provide options for those without dental insurance. The anesthetics of the office are beyond any facility I have encountered and the technology and equipment are the best in the industry. I highly recommend anyone to become a new patient here. You will not be disappointed.Joanne Edwards

Dr. Kaur has been my dentist for about a year now, she is the most kind hearted, caring person you'll ever meet. She puts time and effort into her work and does a flawless job every time. Patients are real people to her, she remembers details about my personal life, which makes me feel like more than just a source of income. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dentist that is passionate about her work, and her patients.Jackie Ross
