20 Best Medical Assistant Programs In Albany, NY (2022 Updated)

Hunter Business School helped me find a career that not only changed my life, but completely fell in love with. Covid was a blessing in disguise for me, and really made me evaluate how I'm going to change my life for the better. With being let go from my mundane office job, this was my opportunity to find a not only a stable career, but something rewarding as well. When the idea of radiography came up, I thought "This could be something I can do" and started researching school all around Long Island. HBS landed as my #1 choice. This program was not only affordable, but I would've started my career a whole year later if I attended the program at NCC. I would've been stuck taking prerequisite classes, since my college credits were more than 10 years old. With HBS, it didn't matter how long I had been out of school. I was given the same opportunity whether I was straight out of high school or changing careers later in life. Not only that, but with the accelerated program, I graduated before other schools were done and that gave me a head-start on finding a job. Last week I graduated from the Radiologic Technologist program, and I already have two dream jobs waiting for me. Today I passed my registry for my license, and I couldn't have done with without the dedicated staff at HBS. While the courses were content heavy, they made everything so clear and easy to learn, and were there for us when we needed the extra help. Without them, I wouldn't be the ARRT licensed radiologic technologist I am today.Nadin Kayserian

Attending this school has saved my life. It gave me purpose. The program showed me that I’m much stronger than I thought! I graduated in February 2021 from the x-ray technologist program. The faculty is amazing and very motivating. Many times I felt like the work was too hard, but I didn’t give up, and the teachers (especially Abe) really helped to keep me focused on my goals. So many doors have opened up for me since I graduated from the program. What’s even better is that the school helps you find a job! I graduated from NCC and John Jay prior to attending this school, and neither one of those institutions helped me get a job. In addition, the teachers at the other universities were not nearly as helpful and attentive compared to the teachers at Hunter business school. If it wasn’t for this program and all the amazing things it offers, I truly do not know where I would be today! I am eternally grateful for this school and their programs. Looking back, I have nothing but positive memories here. It was a wonderful learning experience! Abe is the best teacher ever. He’s very down to earth and engages with the students in such a way that it makes class more fun and it makes material easier to learn. 5 stars!!!Samantha Bieniek

I’ve been attending Hunter business school Xray tech program for almost a year and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Usually Xray programs are 24 months, Hunters is 16 months(shorter but fast paced)5 days a week so it’s very time consuming. You need to be 100% dedicated and contribute most of your days studying BUT it’s so worth it at the end! Being out of school for a few years it was nerve wrecking to get into the flow of things, but because of the instructors(Mr.Abe, Mrs. Aggey, & Mrs. Joy) they continuously motivate you to be an amazing tech. Because of my lovely instructors they have molded me into a great tech making sure to be tedious to little details in this field and providing excellent care for future patients. I can’t thank Mr. Abe enough for giving me this opportunity and believing in me! Hunter has changed my life and has made me gain such a great career path and a new RAD TECH family ! Who ever is questioning about a new career path or scared…DO IT! YOU WONT REGRET IT!Nicole Scammacca

It's really lovely that ACPHS has been doing construction in a building students live in all semester 🙂 The best part is that it now occurs every day of the week beginning at 7 AM and finals week is next week (not like students need sleep or the ability to study in peace and quiet or anything). Maybe next time the college undertakes a big construction project, they should consider doing it in the summer. Oh, I forgot to mention the asbestos they removed… hope they did that properly.Rachel Flood

I went attended orientation and was impressed with the feel of the campus, it is quite nice. Education has a strong record as well.Bryce Murphy

My time at BSC were some of the best years of my life. I made a ton of great lifelong friends and connections with amazing teachers, classmates, and other staff. Loved it so much I've gone back for two more degrees. Everyone here is so open, friendly, and supportive. Teachers get to know you personally and are always ready to help you out.Krystal King

BSC is a phenomenal school. They work with my schedule and are very understanding of life situations that arise. The instructors take time to make sure you understand the material. The staff is fantastic and are very knowledgeable. If you're looking for a school that gives you a degree and prepares you for the workforce, this is it.Cameron Kirkpatrick

i’ve never been surrounded by more a more supportive staff! everyone here is so involved with leading you to the success you strive for and there is positivity throughout the whole building! coming to this school has been a great experience and i don’t think i would find support from staff like this anywhere else!Hannah Ghaly

Do not waste your money. This school is a rip-off. My daughter took the EKG and Phlebotomy courses and throughout both courses only received one day of clinical in each area and they were not full days of practice since the school does not use manikins and the students had to practice the phlebotomy on each other and they could not stick each other but so many times…smh. Upon completion, my daughter received the run around trying to get an internship, and during the one internship interview that she went on the doctor told her that she really did not have anything for her as she was just asked to take another intern who was a relative of someone at the school, but she didn't what to tell my daughter no over the phone. She just had her waste her time and gas so she could experience an interview and tell her no in person…really? The school looked like a waste of time from the beginning and I should have gone with my instincts and gone to a reputable program.B. Manuel

I did my ultrasound course from here and my experience was great . Dr. Ayub and his lectures was awesome and he is always there for you in any guidance or questions even after completion of the course. The good thing is that they give hospital internships placement which actually enrich our skill and opportunities to learn varieties of cases and makes you confident. After the completion of the course they also help you for job opportunities which is really helpful as a beginner. Currently working in a radiology place and of course highly recommend this place.Dipa Denis

I would just like come on here and say thank you to my teacher Trisha. I don’t believe I would have been able to get through this course with out her. I took this course to have a better future for my son and I and she helped me accomplish that. She cares for her students and is such a wonderful person. I owe her a lot and just wanted to say thank you for working with me and my peers to achieve the goals we set forth for ourselves. So, thank you ms. Trisha for all the hard work you did and taking us all a step further in life.Alexus Hanie

This is the best accredited medical school. HANDS DOWN!! At first I was a little skeptical with my choices but I thank God that I made the best decision. The lecturers are so perfect and they make you understand everything in the simplest form , not only the lecturers but career services (Ms.Sabrina Lewis) stayed with me until I got the job , she gave me the answers to ALL the interview questions and SURPRISINGLY guys I'm employed with an OB gyn on the Upper East side. I promise guys, you wont regret your choice. DR.NINEL WAS MY FAVORITE INSTRUCTOR!!!!Merkida Florenville

Horrible rude staff. Don’t care about your education but care if you’re wearing their uniform or not. Sabrina is very unorganized and I didn’t have any good experiences with her. Most if not all of my class mates hated their time there because staff and teachers are USELESS. I wouldn’t be surprised if the good reviews on here were fake because in my whole year there i never once heard anyone say anything good about this school. ( I see most reviews aren’t made by MA’s so that might be why different classes different teachers (sometimes).Boba Gobbler

I graduated March,2022 from the Medical assistant program and start my career at Brookdale hospital this month 5/2022; this certificate and experience was so worth it! So many people were helpful but those who stood out most to me were Mr. Sheppard , Dr. Yasir, Dr. Thomas, Mr Soto, and Mrs. Keller these people were amazingly warm and helpful yet stern when needed and for your learning experience. Hope you have an amazing experience -k washFRAMEGOD TM

I want to say that the Allen School of Health Sciences wasn’t my first choice. I only wanted to get more information about the school. My daughter recommended this school to me. I came and spoke to Ms. Hunter about enrolling in classes. I passed my entrance exam with flying colors and enrolled in their four-week course. I paid off my tuition before classes started. Something came over me before starting that kept saying “I’m going to be a failure” and that I shouldn’t bother to go. I called the school to cancel and spoke with Ms. Zabida. She was very strong and shocked about my statement and said she was going to have Ms Hunter call me. I spoke to my husband who told me that a quitter won’t win and a winner never quits. Soon after Joy gave me a call and said “Ms. Bucknor you can’t quit, you have to reach your goal.” I then spoke with one of the directors, Robert. Rob gave me some great advice and we ended the discussion with “Happy Holiday and I will be seeing you on campus next week.” It made me so happy to speak with them. The nervousness did not go away because it was a long time since I sat in a classroom chair. I even had difficulty sleeping. But, with the help of my classmates and my instructor Ms. July I succeeded and completed the program with an A average! I want to thank my teacher, classmates, and husband for all the support. Thank you Allen School. I think it is the place to be and if I can do it you will. Thank you all.Viviene Web

Please read the reviews before. it was everything that they said, I apply for the school because i really like the program that they have but then I never went to look the reviews and where it was the school. in the beginning they were so nice to me i did my 50 dollars payment for my uniform and my inscripción and now that I don’t want to attend anymore they don’t wanna give me my money back because now they said it was non refundable and they never said that to me in the beginning I don’t think this is fair because I’m not going to attend anymore and I can really use that money to get into a better school that really can help me to grow for my future not the one that is stilling my money I think this is very injustice and I hope one day God Can bless them so much and open their eyes because everything that you do to a person comes exactly to you I wish the school the best but it’s no fair what they doing.gabriela hernandez

Coming to Allen School of Health Sciences was a life changing experience for me. My childhood dreams accomplished. The Staff, my teachers, Dr. Choudary, Dr Hassan, Miss Sultana, Dr Mannan, Miss July, and most of all our Jamaica Campus Director Dr Cheslik, made my learning experiences exceptionally important and challenging at the same time, motivating me, empowering me with encouraging words to make myself better. I am a proud Allen School Student. With completion of 5 modules of academics and clinical hands on studies, I have achieved a spot at Northwell Health for my Externship Program. I would recommend anyone who would like to take that first step into Healthcare, start your career at Allen School of Health Sciences, let your dreams shine. I did it, you can too!! Your success stories begins now at Allen School of Health Sciences.Mohanie Schwartz

I write this review based on the service that I've received from Dr Ben's nurse, Kelly, and Dr Northrup who is currently covering for Dr Ben. A month prior, Dr Ben had strong concerns over a possible diagnosis for me along with several avenues of treatment and stated that he would be monitoring my test results and create a plan moving forward. After testing, I was contacted by Dr Northrup with results that were alarming to me. I was basically told not to worry and that everything would be explained to me on my appointment in December., two months away. I understand that my diagnosis is common to this practice, but it was new and frightening to me. I was also told that the office would connect me to a Hematologist and a Rheumatologist, however, no I ne reached out to me until I personally made an inquiry. After receiving my results, and stating my concerns, Dr Northrup offered an earlier appointment. After several communications, I found out that i was no longer under Dr Ben's care and that he was out on an indefinite medical leave. I find the whole experience very deceptive, unreliable, and lacking compassion. Kelly's email responses were rude, which is why I will look elsewhere for better care. I honestly cannot recommend Dr Northrop and Kelly as a team, nor the practice itself for not disclosing Dr Ben's absence. I can compliment the Clifton Park office staff. They are very friendly and professional people and help you feel quite at ease.Patricia K

Obtaining healthcare over the past two years has been a struggle. I was an existing patient of Dr. Choma when I recently had a new issue. I expected to wait months to be seen, I expected to leave voice messages asking for an appointment and a long wait for a response. Instead, I called and was able to speak to his nurse to describe my issue, she consulted with him, got back to me with a scheduled appointment for Ari Fisher and it was within a couple of days. Ari was very kind and reassuring while he literally walked me through the next steps and appointments. Once the tests were completed all of the results and communication happened through the patient portal. All questions asked and answered had a response within 24 hours. Most often I would receive a response well after the work day had ended, or should have ended. I am so grateful for the excellent care that I have received from Ari Fisher, Dr. Choma and Dr. Polito, but also for the support staff who were always friendly and helpful.D M

I had an emergency situation. I called & spoke with Joanne, the nurse for my doctor. She communicated the situation with Phil – PA He called a script into my pharmacy along with instructions. Since I got worse, I called back & Joanne got me an appointment with Phil. Phil saw me, gave me an exam & sent me to St Peter's Hospital.. Before I left he calmed me down, explained the situation to me & made sure I had a ride to the hospital..He called the Hospital ahead of time & they were waiting for me.. I was scheduled for a procedure the next day. it was done by one of the doctors in the group.. I felt very well taken care of & felt so comfortable knowing I was in good hands.. This is a wonderful group that I highly recommend..Flora Fauna

Dr. Tricia Primomo and her staff were, without exaggeration, the most professional, efficient, caring group of dental health providers I've worked with. At each step of the process of getting a full upper and lower denture, I was informed about the process, asked my opinion, and given the opportunity to ask questions. The most pleasurable dental experience I've ever had! I recommend Dr. Primomo and Dental Wellness of Albany wholeheartedly! They were even willing to continue working with me after their practice chose to remove themselves from the network that my dental insurance carrier covered!Lyn Stadler

Honestly this dentist is great, I went there for 30 years and loved it. Tricia filled in a cavity wonderfully. But they don't take Delta Dental insurance anymore (the third most common insurance out there) and that really stinks… I've heard they don't take any insurance anymore but I have not verified that. When I got that letter I cried because it meant that the place I absolutely loved wouldn't treat me anymore. It has changed so much since Dr. Bill left 😢Rebecca Vadalabene

Dr Herzog and all the staff are very professional plus they all do an excellent job of making me feel comfortable there (even though I've neglected to get my treatments done in a timely manner). I'd like to especially thank my Dental Hygienist Megan for the excellent job she did – putting me back on track. With Dr Herzog and the staff, I have no reason to avoid the dentist as I look forward to making my future appointments in a timely manner 🙂Steve Johnson

This is a review of one doctor with this facility. It is posted here as well as under the doctor's name because, as noted below, the management of the Center dismissed my complaint out of hand, evidently ignoring staff members who were present and would have confirmed my account of the visit. — Dr. Schneider is not fit to practice medicine. Or to do any job that requires dealing with people. On April 8, 2022 I accompanied a woman who has a brain injury to a visit with James Schneider at the Bone & Joint Center’s Catskill office. Neither of us had seen him before. Back in the early 2000s, as part of a job at an agency for the disabled, I assisted many people at doctor visits. In each of those cases, the doctors were considerate and understanding But not Schneider. From the moment he walked into the exam room, before either my patient or I had said a word, he was rude, abrupt and abrasive, demanding to know “What’s the problem here?’ After being momentarily stunned to silence, I remember saying “Well, okay, that’s a good start.” After a brief examination of my patient’s shoulder and a knee, he instructed an aide to take the patient for an X-ray of her shoulder. Three minutes Schneider he came back, saying, in an aggressive tone, “This is not a multi-part body shop. What does she want me to do?” I told him to forget the x-ray; we would leave. I didn’t want my patient subjected to any further abuse. It was horrible experience. And we are not alone; Numerous online reviews going back to 2018 describe bad visits with Schneider. They use words like “..distracted.” “…rude.” “..impatient, unprofessional.” “To keep it simple” one reviewer wrote, “Dr. Schneider was rude, unprofessional, rushed, distracted and condescending.” Another said: “Dr. Schneider entered my room rushed and distracted. He was condescending and insensitive.” And another: “[Dr. Schneider] is unprofessional and rude. He has no regard for his patients and doesn’t listen. He needs lessons on how to be a person, then a doctor. Not a jerk.” But despite these and several other bad reviews, the managers at the Bone & Joint Center dismissed our complaint about Schneider’s conduct out of hand, saying they believed his false claim that I was rude to him and the office staff. You have been warned: Stay away from James Schneider, M.D.David Baker

I give 5 stars to the doctor but ZERO for the rest of the building! We have had a few bad experiences at the Albany building. There is no issue with the doctor I will add! but walking in and speaking to receptionist was a bad start. This is not a job for someone unfriendly! People get off on the wrong foot when someone is not pleasant. We have not had any positive engagements with staff behind the desks. Yesterday, we had a follow-up post surgery with a PA and it was bad at every step of the way. Why do you get shuffled around while waiting? We moved several times and the last area we sat for close to 2 hours. It was a totally exposed area, no privacy, with patients and staff all over in close proximity. Groups of staff hanging out talking and laughing while we just sat there. They were stocking and doing menial tasks quite often. We were there and were 100% ignored for almost 2 hours. No exaggeration! No pleasantries what so ever. I finally told someone we were leaving. We were told the PA was going to be there soon. This game continued for about half an hour. NOONE asked my daughter how she was doing? They came in , took sutures out gave a few bits of info. No apologies! No asking how she was doing with her ankle. She was deeply offended. We found out they had her as a 'no show' and they did not realize she was there. We had papers, we were moved to different waiting rooms and we were right there in plain sight!! Didn't know she was there? It was a horrible experience and can say we will not be going back there. Nothing wrong with her surgery or her doctor but the experience at that building was ridiculous!CAS

"My doctor doesn't care about me and nothing will change". That's what my friend keeps saying after fighting while recovering and getting no respect or response after multiple attempts to get help and appropriate medicine. The direct quote from the surgeon was "you don't have to agree with me and you can leave me a bad review" instead of having an actual conversation with the patient. Yesterday this guy was over AN HOUR late to our set appointment and stayed for less than 5 minutes. No apology and not even an attempt to pretend he cares. Avoid Dr Cory Czajka unless you wanted to have your calls ignored, your medicine not being refilled and him sending you home the day of surgery. I know A LOT of people go home the day of surgery, but this person ended up in the hospital and then going to a rehab hospital for SIX WEEKS because he said "be careful and you'll be fine". She was NOT fine. He doesn't return phone calls and when the visiting nurse was asking how the meds were going and pain management and we said the refills were refused, without being told the surgeon, she guessed.Jamie Boughton

Absolutely an amazing experience and I love how they recognize the barriers that we as a community and individual have, and they help you to eliminate them. Thanks to Felicia I am now Certified Medical Administrative Assistant, and soon I will be able to join the workforce, with confidence and the knowledge and skills that I have relearned and acquired. Thank you for the support and assistance. It makes a difference when you have a Community Resource and Organization that has your back.Shana Wilson Mccall

The absolute worse organization I had ever worked for. The head start program was filled with lots of gossiping bitter women who were very rude to the children often times and staff talk about eachother like cave beasts …and they gossip about the parents too which I felt was horrible, especially in front of the children. Lots of favoritism needs much change.Khadijah Fatimah

I have worked here for the last 2 years and have nothing but positive experiences. Upper management is very supportive and understanding. Benefits and pay are generous. I work with some outstanding people. Have already had a promotion as they believe on promoting within. Zero regrets about coming here and plan on making my career here.Katie Conlon

LaQuetta is a great instructor, and she has a great program. The program taught me soooo much and I graduated with way more knowledge than I started with. It’s very hands-on and you’ll get the most support from LaQuetta while you’re there. I am proud to say that I took part in her amazing phlebotomy course. Keep going LaQuetta, you’re amazing!Marissa Jones

This program was so amazing, I’ve learned so much during my time learning here! The teachers were great at doing what they do, I’m so grateful for the opportunity I’ve been given to participate in this program an so grateful for the patience of the teachers! Can’t wait to see what the EKG course has in store!Naomi

I loved my time at hearts and mind I received all the hands on and practical experience needed for me to go on successfully in my new career as a phlebotomist I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to further their careers in the health care field!Shanice Bethune

I am so thankful to this school and their faculty. I passed my RMA on first try, which is the (Registered Medical Assistant Examination) thanks to everything i learned here.my best mentor, friend and best teacher was Dr Ahmeed, he is so understandable and works with you. Actually my whole class spoke to school director to assign just him for the class, due to the fact that he knew where we were left out off, instead of going to another teacher who didnt know what you knew, he is a good instructor very supportive and helpful! The only bad reviews you can see here on google are from people that never paid attention and never did assignments…and that want everything handed to them! This is a college so it means you have to work hard to earn you education! and they let you know rules ahead of time the school has a policy that must be followed regarding attendance and misbehaving, or not doing what your supposed to do…. so rules are laid out to you in the first week….. so no excuses. The faculty people have a good heart, but this is a business, there are rules to follow.! Im thankful for all the help i received. Hard work really pays off! If you study hard you will pass all exams. Education is earned not bought.Ana Fuentes

I have nothing to say but great things about this school. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA, got my phlebotomy certification with distinction, passed my RMA examination on my first attempt and now working at one of the biggest hospital at NYC as a Medical Assistant. My overall experience from the start through my graduation date was wonderful. All of the staffs were helpful. They would make sure that they would help you the best way they could. This school offers review classes that will help you with your education. They would make sure that you are ready before you take any state tests. With that being said, I would like to thank all of the staffs at this school for their time and effort. I really appreciate everything you did for me. I would recommended this school to anyone who wishes to be a successful Medical Assistant.Angelica Tamayo

I’ll start by the year 2021 when I choose to follow my heart and decided to apply for medical assistant program in NYSMDA I did the correct thing because it took me on a journey that I love and will truly miss I met extraordinary people I will name a few but there’s many more that will help you progress to earn your degree: Dr.Ahmad,Dr.Hossain,Dr.Huda,Professor Dubron and my angel Mrs Shereen she will help you get your job at the end of your path with great advice she will be there and make sure your comfortable in the last step you take.lastly I can say choosing this school helped me realize the capability I had to succeed and now here I am about to graduate on July 15,2022 P.S I made awesome new friends and they are all the best congratulations to all my girls we made it 🎉 🎈😊 By:MaritzaAlexandra Vasco

Let me start with the positive. PA Ken was excellent. Personable, polite, wonderful personality and professional. I salute him and always wish him the best in all he does. Also I was seen on time and was there for 1 hour. Now 2 things I will change. The girl at the front desk with the exaggerated eye lashes. Rude. She needs to take a customer service class. If someone walks up to you you do not just stare at them. The least you can do is say good morning or afternoon. I asked for a pen i never received one. I also ended up having to pay $90 for a physical although online it allowed me to take a front/back picture of my insurance and said I can pay that way. It had me do multiple steps only to tell me I have to pay out of pocket for a physical. But the light skin girl at the front desk had 0 personality and is not someone that you want to see when you walk into an office, emergent or not. Thanks to the polite petite black girl and PA Ken! Appreciate you two so much!Nina Gaston

I was greeted by a respectful and cheerful reception associate. She was efficient and thoughtful throughout the check in phase and offered to call me when an exam room was ready. I was able to wait in my car. The exam room was ready within the anticipated time frame and the exam room was clean and comfortable. My only objection was there was a reality TV show ( not for my taste) running while I waited to be examined and I was uncertain about turning it off. The Dr examining me was courteous and in my opinion went above and well beyond my expectations. Bravo to her too! She made sure the problem was resolved and suggested a tetanus shot. I hadn't even thought of it and I was very pleased she did. Thanks to everyone there who helped out.Joyce Bouchard

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this urgent care clinic. I would highly recommend scheduling online, so you can completely avoid any wait. I was in and out of this facility within an hour and twenty minutes, which is practically unbeatable in my experience. I got all the prescriptions I needed, a doctor's note for my work, and the staff were incredibly kind and great listeners. Just to note, they do not have ultrasound equipment, so you have to go to a hospital or another practitioner for that. I hope you go here for any non-emergency medical needs!Hannah Williams

I’ve been going here since 2019 and it was fine then. I don’t remember any frustrations when trying to call or get through to talk to someone. Now my mom goes here and has been seeing Dr. Setzen, who is great. All of the providers we’ve seen combined have been great. But the frustrating thing is getting to talk to someone. You can’t connect to just the nurse’s line. You have to go through appointments. The wait time is absolutely insane and then I just have to leave a message and not know if they’ll call back. Currently my mom is awaiting a call back for a question she has and we might not hear back today. It’s very frustrating. Also we couldn’t get a follow up with Dr. setzen after her surgery because he was booked. Fine, he’s the guy everyone wants to go to. But it is frustrating as a patient to not be able to follow up with your actual surgeon when they could’ve made my mom a follow up appointment when they scheduled her surgery. Which also took months. If you want a qualified professional, this is the office, but there are frustrations that come with it.Jenn Collins

I have been going to Albany ENT and Allergy for years. They have always provided excellent care. I was deeply upset and disappointed when I received an email prior to my upcoming appointment informing me that masks are now optional. None of my family's other healthcare professionals have stopped requiring masks. As someone who is immune compromised, I find it unacceptable. When I called to ask if they would provide me someplace to wait other than their huge waiting room, all I got was "So you want to cancel your appointment?" My whole family will be looking for a new ENT.Monica K

I ended up here after an gastro related endoscopy but it turns out, I really needed an ENT and allergist. Maggie West-Bump is phenomenal. Out of all of my providers I ever have had, I never had someone explain things so clearly and comprehensively, laying out all options and scenarios. And you can tell Maggie is fully committed to you during your appointment- no feeling of being rushed at all.Monroe Marshall

My experience at Big Apple Training doing my CNA course was excellent.The effort they have put forward to give us a hands-on in the field experience was great,i must give credit to Mr bowen who have that super power to strengthen and motivate you,so you know the sky is the limit not just for others alone but for you as well.My teacher Mrs Chambers,she is a God sent with the wisdom she uses to put across the lessons,everyone have to learn.our instructor Mr Jacob's with his knowledge base mixed with clinical common sense which makes learning interested and fun.i must recommend this institution for anyone who wants to excel in the health field. Keep up the good job Big Apple 🍎 Training.Hope Wallace

The Technique that is shown to you at Big Apple Training for Phlebotomy is incorrect.. I currently work at LabCorp now and I am being taught a whole different technique, one that is safer for not only you but the patient too. Ms. Diaz is pretty nice but the technique she is showing is incorrect.. you do NOT use TWO HANDS when drawing blood with a straight needle! Oh also you don’t close the needle on a flat surface, you use your thumb .. I would not recommend attending this class because the teaching of technique is wrong, only thing that was correct was the Order Of Draw.Shadene Taylor

At Big Apple Training White Plains, I started with the CNA Program, and then I transitioned to Phlebotomy and EKG. During the Phlebotomy class, the information felt overwhelming at first however, our teacher Ms. Diaz broke it down so smoothly. She was so attentive, detailed and patient with us, until we were confident enough to draw blood on our own. I would definitely recommend doing the Phlebotomy course with Ms. Diaz. Thank you Ms. Diaz! You are certainly the best at what you do.Sandra Turner

The best school for medical training. I saw the reviews early on this year and was putting off enrollment for a long time until finally I enrolled. The experience was outstanding. I passed the course. during the program the instructor was very informative and cheerful all the time. He talked about his experiences and how phlebotomists should prepare themselves. I enjoyed every bit. I went for internship at a location in lynbrook and those people were great too. The person who trained me there was very patient and helpful. I have regsistered for the exam now and preparing for it. will recommend friends here! Thank You teacher, and the staff.Lee King

At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place since it seemed randomly placed on this block and it looked really small but I could not have asked for a better experience. My phlebotomy instructor, Dr. Shazia, is probably one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she also knows how to teach in an efficient, exciting and straight forward way. We were taught the material without any unnecessary information and she kept us constantly laughing & in good spirits. That’s the best way to learn. The front desk staff are always in good spirits and super helpful as well. Highly recommended!!Mur

New York Institute Of Medical Careers exceeded all of my expectations. This school was just what I needed to get to the next level. I took my Patient Care Technician state exam and it was a walk in the park, I passed because my instructor Dr. Zeb is very reliable, and knows his stuff. He made it easy when it was time to take the state test. Qualities, values, and skills needed to succeed in life and in your new career. The administration is very helpful and friendly.If you are looking for a great Medical school please, look no further! New York Institute Of Medical Careers is truly amazing.Sherojnie Ramdat

I’ve been studying at Hunter’s Medford Campus since early November and absolutely loved the school, staff and the classes I’ve taken to date both in classroom and on line. I’m halfway through their 600 hour course to be a Medical Office Admimistrator and can honestly say that I am very impressed with the instructors we’ve had so far. They’re knowledgeable about the subjects they’re teaching and have the talent to explain the material in multiple ways to ensure the students all understand the content and concepts completely. The staff at every level at Hunter is extremely open and friendly, which enables the students to feel comfortable to ask for help if needed. The staff is also continually checking in with all of the students to make sure everything is going well and there are no concerns. Hunter also has multiple morale boosting social activities timed throughout the year, usually involving food and/or costumes to allow everyone to mingle, relax and enjoy a little social time together periodically. The entire Hunter experience, in my opinion, has been wonderful. It combines the best aspects of the academic, social and business worlds into one concise package to prepare students for a career in the medical world. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in this program.Lorraine Agostine (Rainey)

I came to Hunter Business School to get my career started in the medical field to get a good paying job. My experience with Admissions has been good and everyone that works there is extremely kind. Financial Aid is great and they make it easy to understand the process for all the information about financial aid that has to be done. Career Services has been helpful with our class about getting all of our documents together that we need to graduate. My education experience has been so much fun. All of the teachers are very nice and help out every student to make sure they really understand the course. There is nothing I would say that needs to be changed or improved at Hunter. Overall Hunter Business School has been a wonderful experience.holly anne fox

This school is terrible, do not waste 15 grand here. You end up teaching yourself, most of the instructors are rude, CHILDISH, and treat you like little kids. They have 0 respect for you. Don’t get me started on administration… they gaslight you & allow the disrespect of the teachers. Don’t waste your money, go to boces.also we were lied to that this is in person teaching monday-thursday & fridays online, however, you’re at home 99% of the time, and on top of that, you dont know your schedule until the week of. So if you have kids, this school is not suitable for parents with childcare.Claudia Strzesak

I’ve taken both Phlebotomy and EKG the past couple of months and I definitely feel very comfortable and knowledgeable within the education I received. This is a great school to attend if you have not been in school for a while or you’re going back to build your resume. The instructors are very helpful and never fail to help you understand the material before moving on to the next subject. This school has provided a fast pace and easy way to help me get back on my feet and into the work field. I look forward to taking more classes with Access Careers in the near future to help further my career.Gina Doran

I had a wonderful experience. I started out doing the dialysis technician course which lasted for 6 weeks. At Access they have a payment plan, so you don't have to worry about having all the funds in hand. The teacher, Dr Varsally was excellent. He imparted knowledge in a way that was manageable to all in the class, must also mention that the class ssizes are small. Dr.V. ensured that all understood the lessons taught, he was always punctual to class, ready to do revision every morning on subject matters taught previously. All in all it was a good experience.Michelle Burey

I did the dialysis training at Access Careers and was very impressed by my teacher Dr. Varsally. He is very professional, kind, and humble. His method of teaching is great, and he has a sense of humor too. too,He is always well groomed and very organized. He iis always encouraging his students to continue learning and growing. Dr. V is awesome. The ladies at the front desk are very pleasant too. Thank you Dr. Vclaudene graham

The Allen School is a hidden treasure for academic excellency and interpersonal relationships with classmates, teachers, admins, career services, principal, dean and valuable staff members. Everyone here has been nothing but helpful and genuinely assisted me in every way possible. They're hands on, caring, and have a passion to see their students graduate on time completely prepared and ready for the real world as a Medical Assistant. I graduated in April 2019 and was hired at a wonderful dermatology practice. I actually miss coming to school but I'm happy I started my journey here. Thank you to everyone at the Allen School!!Jewel Singh

In my personal experience Allen school has been very good to me. I'm still in the early parts of the course but I don't see it getting too difficult or any obstacles that i cant get over. Their financial aid staff was very helpful and lay out your exact financial situation and give you all your options. With a good attitude and being diligent its impossible to not do good in this school.Drake Alvarez

Great school, helps you prepare for success. Easy admission process. The staff are welcoming and truly wants to see their students succeed during and even after they offer quick job placements (for the cna track). You will not regret going here. Easy access to many trains and buses in downtown Brooklyn. Good commutes.Hu 0torigo

Their name should be just Center for Disability because they forget the services part. I was registered in both their primary and dental practices. They are just not confident or competent enough to provide services. I went to their Primary Care practice for a sleep aid. I got offers for an anti-depressant that I would have to take daily when I specifically stated I wanted something as needed and did not want a mood altering drug or submit to a voluntary pharmaceutical addiction. Granted I've been diagnosed with a mental disability, but I believe disabilities are something you should overcome and not be addicted to – they do not. She would not provide me a sleep aid, telling me I had to go to a medication therapist instead. Their dental practice is shoddy, superficial, and scattered. Both their primary care and dental practices rely upon outsourcing and subcontracting – the providers they have are subcontractors or they must outsource specific treatments. The place is like a clearing house for nothing – you go in there needing something and you are sent here or there or somebody comes there to meet with you and you end up with nothing; they are like contractors for subcontractors, like an unhealthy redundancy, like breathing in out breath – carbon monoxide.Daniel Fuentes

Update: I am a caregiver and I have brought my loved one here a couple of times and so far it's been ok. The staff are nice however they don't have a lot to offer as far as specialists. Their dental clinic is just basic services, like cleaning, x-rays. They don't do Root canals for one. They would rather extract your tooth. None of the dentists there will perform Root canals. Good luck finding a dental specialist that takes Medicaid in this area. It's really a shame that Medicaid doesn't match the other insurances when it comes to speciality services. It's also a shame that this facility wouldn't perform all services. There is no where else to go for disabled folks. The disabled deserve betterM Rose

I have been a patient here at The Center For Disability Services for a while & I am not happy with the service I get from you guys which is why I have given TCFDS a 3 star. Whenever I have to have a prescription refilled and it reads on the bottle: " No refills – a doctor must authorize" & I haven't been to see my DR in a while they will not fill my prescription; its very annoying because I sometimes go days even weeks without my prescription I am in need of. Also, when making appointments & confirming them with me, they are NOT good with calling to confirm I'll be there, my last appointment I "supposidly" had back in October 2018, I didn't know about. I'm not happy with you guys at all.Olivia Derway
