20 Best Medical Assistant Programs In Fresno, CA (2022 Updated)

The staff is very helpful from enrolling to making sure you have everything you need for class. MTI has some of the best teachers around! Every teacher I’ve had so far has been super helpful and understanding and go above and beyond to explain every step of the way so you don’t feel lost. They’re very hands on and invested in every student’s success. When I first came in I felt overwhelmed as to how things would be like but they were all very reassuring. As long as you come to class and pay attention and ask questions there’s no way you can fail!Titus Tinch

BY FAR THE BEST INSTITUTION I HAVE EVER INVESTED MY TIME & ENERGY IN! The moment you walk in for a consultation, the staff will greet you with a smile & positive energy. They are very organized and have great communication skills. If you are lost and need further assistance, the instructors and staff will be there for you. You can most definitely count on them! This is not just a school, this is a community. Much love to ya'll, keep up the good work!Balla Diarra

It is my third week and so far the in person classes have been extremely helpful. I love the campus and staff are extremely friendly. They will go over anything if you don't understand it, even if it is your 4th or 5th time asking. The availability of the teachers ranges according to their own schedule. There are Multiple teachers and instructors to help you out.Richard Saelee

I've been attending FCC since summer of 2016 and will graduate, god willing, this spring 2019. Full time, year round, no breaks. Although parking requires at least an hour grace period, I believe the over all experience is what you make it. I've come across rude people maybe having a bad day and I've had instructors I could not relate to. Its all very frustrating. Its sad to say the success rate at this college is 17%. But, then again this is an adult school. Nobodies going to call your house when your absent or hold a parent-teacher conference when your not doing your work. I am working on a Human Service degree and have enjoyed the ups and downs of my classes. The load was a little heavier in a few and I had to buckle down and utilize the tutorial, ETC, PASS, Computer lab and all other resources available. In all the those places I found the staff and student help extremely eager to be of service. The assistance was much appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could of got through math without it!Philip Tristan

I am not speaking for this business itself, merely the college district's education quality. I have taken classes at Fresno, Clovis, and Reedley Community College, and I have had an absolutely deplorable time. I don't feel like I'm getting anything from the classes; I don't feel the staff is prepared to teach online, if at all. If you are going to teach college-level English, you should not make punctuation and grammatical errors consistently. If you are teaching a law class, you should not do it from inherent bias and perspective. If you are conducting an online course, you should not have to hold up a piece of paper because you don't know how to make a slide. An absolute and utter waste of my time and money, I am so glad I got the nerve to go back to school; now I will find somewhere to teach me, educate me, and get me further in life.Mercedes Scott

Good college for students to get their AA degrees and this college has cheap tuition. Professors and management are also good and you can also transfer to a university after 2 years. It is said that Fresno City College is the first Community College in California. Registration to classes is simple and online, and they offer all kind of classes. It is better if you choose Nursing as a career because it pays off well. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

If anyone is looking into the medical assistant field please do yourself a favor and look at the pay rate and how much it costs to attend this horrible program. Program costs about 30k and MA barely make that yearly, you can go to a community college for about the same time and get paid to go. I cannot wait for SJVC to get sued for taking advantage of vulnerable people, giving false promises to students of a career in medical assistant, you will not be able to live on that type of low income. You have a better opportunity making more money at Target, most of my credits did not transfer even though I was told they would so I wasted my time. I had to retake most of my classes which I did in about the same time as I was at sjvc and will be applying to the nursing program. This is a horrible schoolJammy Jam

An amazing institution Went here as a student from Feb 2019 until graduation Oct 2019. I was enrolled in the front office medical admin program. 7 months and upon graduation, I passed and got nationally certified for billing/coding. My teacher Ms.Hernandez was amazing, caring and knowledgeable. The school and its staff went above and beyond for me (I was unemployed at the time) and now I am employed and have actual hope for my future. It taught me a variety of skills that applied in many jobs for medical assistants. The bad? It won't teach you everything. It won't get you a Masters Degree and a six figure job. But that's not the point of this trade School. It's a start, a path to better prospects. It's made good on that so far =)Vince M

I had previously been accepted to a university, having experience payment issues (that school was wicked expensive) I found SJVC, they help me make a smooth transition from the other school to there and my time there was amazing. Meeting different people from different programs and other people who just didn't want the traditional school experience. I went for my certificate MOA program (took 7 months of class time and 2 months of externship time). Loved my teacher and classmates and learning was easy and I understood all the lessons. I even got on the dean's list after getting my certificate. My career counselor even helped me find my full time job. Have nothing but good to say about this school and mostly my teacher.Jessica Hamilton

Well i started this school last year in January and just finish and got my Liscenes. Ues there are thing that could be better at this school. But is there any school thats perfect? No. It really all depends on you. You get out what you put in. Have a bad attitude youll have a bad time. If you came to this school for the right reasons youll do fine. But only if you stick to your guns. One thing i can say is the instructors here really do care for your future. Things are changing as they always do in life. But again remember why you came to this school and you'll be fine. Im proof of that. I hated high school and got bad grades when i was here i had an average 3.7GPA. You can do it.Benjamin Goerzen

I recently graduated from the Electrical Technology program. Overall I feel satisfied with the program. The teachers are top notch industry guys and they really want you to succeed and will bend over backwards to help you understand the material. Unfortunately I went through 90% of the program during the corona virus shutdown and it made it difficult to do without the constant hands on part. So I had to make sure during the open labs I got as much put of it as I could. Which still taught me a lot more then I expected. I was satisfied even through the program being shut down. Im Confident the next group of guys will have a lot better experience and learn a lotTimothy Douhan

The HVAC program is a complete waste of time and money. I did 4 modules, and two of those made me regret attending SJVC. The school lost a very knowledgeable teacher and out of desperation hired a teacher that had no teaching experience. The Dean doesn't care about her students, I had multiple conversations with her about the program that lead nowhere. The school doesn't have teachers that can teach, my advice is to look for another school like I am.Jesus Vigil

The SJVC-online BSRT program is very user friendly when it comes to ones computer skills. There are some minor glitches here and there when it comes to assignment communication. I am very happy with my decision in choosing SJVC to obtain my Bachelor’s degree. If you are a busy Respiratory Therapist do not hesitate and sign up asap don’t waste another year thinking you are too busy. This program is set up for busy Respiratory Therapist to thrive in. Join the excellent tradition of SJVC Thunder Cat’s, LET’S GO!Daniel Nunez

I enrolled in the MBC certificate program in April of 2021 after loosing my job. I have my degree in medical billing but was doing retail. I was worried about doing straight online school, however the instructors and the adviser Ernie were and are amazing at what they do! I now have made the deans list twice already and have the knowledge I did not before! Thank you SJVC online!Erica Florendo

The staff of this school is pretty good with communication, especially the Dean. Whenever i had a problem he was fast to solve the issue. The experience was great. I did have to find my own extern site, but my career advisor was really supportive and helpful. I wanted to attend the Nursing program but no one has responded so I will probably not do it here. Its a good school!!Anita Ingram

I started the program with Ms Perez as my lab instructor and ended with Ms Patrice. I'm older, laid off from a 25yr career and didn't know what to do with my life let alone where to start. Ms Perez and Ms Patrice made learning so easy, fun and amongst all, they made it interesting and made me feel excited to keep attending. The process at Unitek is easy to complete due to the communication level the staff has with their students. My career advisor, Ms Lisa is great! Ms Lisa Literally held my hand through the exiting process, kept in touch throughout my externship, made sure I was staying sane throughout the process of going to extern, working nights and taking care of my family. Walked me through my application process for a job, held my hand through the interview process, kept in touch throughout the whole process until I got an offer letter!!!! My experience with everyone at Unitek was great, but my experience with Ms Lisa is one that needs to be recognized!!!!Chris Fusi

I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Patrice my laboratory instructor and Ms. Perez. Both have mentored me & helped me become the MA I am today. Ms. Lisa Haynes in Career Services is a hard worker & goes to bat for her students. I received a job offer during my externship, that was too good to pass up as a new grad, thanks to her guidance. I recommend taking your MA in the day class as the PM class lacks structure & professionalism with one particular teacher…that is the only reason I left off a star. The school itself has a fully functioning lab for clinical experience, is safe, clean, holds dinners or gives treats for student morale and tuition is less than other schools in the Bay Area.Jennifer Wills

Instructors are professional with vast and extensive work experiences. They are genuinely caring and helpful for the sucess of the student and learning environment. Each department provided substantial support that made going through the program easier. Courtney and Rachel with Career Services gave us the confidence and tools to help make the transition from student life into the working world smooth.Gigi Tamayo

If I can put no stars I would. I was part of the MA program since October 2019 going for my associates degree. I did get pregnant during my time and Covid also interrupted my studies. However, I did get dropped from school today without any reasonable reason or notice. All this school cares about is taking your money. Sad to say but true and staff at Modesto campus completely suck. Except for Dr. Basha and Mr. Martin I have heard such great things about him. I give you credit. Furthermore, I needed only two classes til externship but they were general Ed classes. Anyway I did turn in work and received no credit. Also I was accused for plagiarism when I came up with my own homework and ideas. Online teachers are terrible and need to give credit to students who do their work. When I was not doing online classes I got credit for any work I completed whether it was half way done or a quarter done. So I highly don’t recommend attending any campuses. Otherwise you will have a experience as mine.Desirei Calouro

I was going here My last one of the school year for an internship my balance of two be able to making the most out to get her from school in this situation is the only way she will get in touch with me and I will have her take the opportunity to get the chance of being able to take her by learning to take the time off the details on her 2 have made aJack Deanda (Overview)

If your thinking about starting a trade, look no further. I have no words to express how happy I am with the course and a huge pay raise within my current company. Life changing is how I would express it. Going to this school will help you make 10-20k a year more which offsets the costs of the school in your first year. Thank you Sjvc!Nick Rudel

IOT might be a great school but as for the nursing program that was one of the worst experiences of my life. I usually dont review places or make a fuss about things but in this case I feel obligated to warn people about this program and the people who run it. My name is Luis Alberto Salazar and for personal reasons I go by my middle name, for one whole year that I was enrolled at IOT I would ask Dr. Bar to call me by my middle name, every time she would refuse. This constant battle I had with her made me very uncomfortable to the point where it felt like harassment. She would belittle me and compare me to her child constantly. I felt humiliated in front of the class in multiple occasions. I cant stress enough how important ones name is to their identity. That is something that she does not understand, if you are someone who does not go by their birth name or if you are trans and you have changed your name, please consider another nursing program.Alberto Salazar

I started my journey at IOT in September of 2019 and I just recently finished school with them in June 2020. I loved my time at IOT. I took night classes which were taught by Mrs. D. Mrs. D is the best teacher I could’ve asked for. She taught us from the book but also shared her experiences in the medical field as well. I appreciated that because I was able to apply that to when I started working in the medical field as well. Overall, I think this is the best vocational school you can go to because the staff really cares to help you, and they offer different class hours to help with our busy schedules. I ended up getting hired at my extern site and I couldn’t be happier with where I am currently at.Jamie Torres

I would just like to say that Institute of Technology was an awesome experience. The Staff was very supportive and understanding. The Heating and Refrigeration training had some awesome teachers that made sure that the students understood the lectures and study materials. Institute of technology also had a nice resource room and a Computer Room to do all my projects and homework. The best part about my experience was that Institute of Technology connected me with a job a month before I was officially done with my training. I just can’t thank them enough… I Juan Reynoso, would definitely recommend Institute of Technology!!Dj Mannygroove

I got to meet helpful and wonderful instructors and classmates. I was transitioning from a new career so you can imagine the excitement and anxiety I got before attending this class, however, the instructors and materials made everything easily understandable. Although, it is understandable, you have to do your part in daily learning. I learned alot about dental assisting and do not regret taking this class. Highly recommend.Stace Vang

Really loved my time here. The instructors were so thorough and helpful and the class environment was healthy and enjoyable. I’m grateful for this experience and the time I’ve been able to grow and learn dental assisting. Got a job while still in school and loved being able to learn this whole time!Hannah Pool

I'll be honest, this was an amazing experience to become a Dental assistant, I was really afraid about a this experience but teachers were there for everything that I need, the resources were fantastic to learned. The best and convenient part was easy and fast I highly recommend this school👌🏻Rosa Magaly Gomez

Honestly, I thought this college was the best fit for me. John Villasenor the Admissions Advisor is very understanding, knows how to answer your questions or concerns plus he keeps his promises too and I feel very comfortable speaking to him about anything. He really likes to see his future students be successful! The Financial Aid Officer Samantha Martinez is rather really stuck up! She was at first kind with a smile on her face and was concerned about my opinion on SJVC Hanford or neutral to me but then she changed her attitude with me since I forgot my parent loan paper at home. Little did I know that she was two faced towards me. The first time I was in her office, she explained to me that my mom didn't had to fill out much of the parent loan paper because of my mom's permanent residential status. The second time, she asked for my mom to sign it and she never acknowledged or ignored completely my mom's and little sibling's presence. I thought that disrespectful woman would speak directly to my mom about the financial plan for the career I was interested in but she never even bothered to! My mom told her "Hello" and she didn't even bothered acknowledging her greeting! She didn't offered them to take a seat or even greet them! SJVC should employ personnel with a more hospitality personality. I have never felt so unwanted in any college campus! I thought SJVC would have college personnel who are kind and understanding. Michelle Smalls the SJVC Online Admissions Advisor, Celia C. Gonzales and Edith K. Passi the SJVC Online Financial Aid Officers are so nice and undestanding. Megan Santiani the SJVC Online Student Advisor answers your concerns as quickly as possible! If you wish to start your college career with this college, I would pick online classes since they show more hospitality than in a SJVC Campus. I have no other choice than to go to a traditional college like West Hills College Coalinga or Lemoore and College of the Sequoias Hanford.Maria Campos

Honestly the school procces was great teachers and all but my problem is I didn't past my first extern site but I wasnt aware I failed until 2 weeks later from the director or dean herself .. after trying to see if I can still get into extern on time from what I was told to find one til this certain day,like 1-2 weeks later I finally get told I was able to find a site after bugging a tiny bit ..but not even a week later it comes to find out I was terminated still since June 17th an I didnt get told nothing that I was and I thought this whole time I was okay but NOPE!! So I have to push back from my plans I had for my health and financial area and also I let go of job because I knew extern was gonna take most of my time..Im now broke and they obviously don't care I do wanna complain more but I won't I just wanna finish this and graduate with my friends,I can't now!!Destiny Martinez

My education and extern was good, Brooksley is amazing along with Mrs.Avina. My problem is with our graduation, even though it's online i still wanted to attend but the bookstore (where to order cap and gowns) wont let me in nor create a new password. Stockdale passed me on and then I got passed from fill in dean to fill in dean and now "Amy" wont even call me back after several left messages at front desk. My only option for pictures was to buy my own on amazon since I'm very proud of my academic career at SJVC. Majorly dissatisfied and disappointed it came to that. EDIT: They called me resolved the issue at hand I got my cap, gown, and cords. Happy to finally feel noticed by SJVC. Very pleased with how fast they took care of this issue after it being brought to attention.Hunter Dillon

CIMS is a great place to learn. Most of the staff are not only amazing and welcoming but friendly and helpful. Sherrie was so helpful with registering and helping with any and all problems with ADB. Mr. Jackson is a man of few words but always welcoming and helpful. Ms. B is an amazing instructor, she’s tough but exactly what is needed to prepare you for the medical field. If you listen, pay attention and put a little effort in you’ll do amazing. Thank you for helping me get back into the medical field, I’ve always been fascinated by it all. I would definitely recommend my friends and family to CIMS. Thank you Sherrie, Mr. J and Ms. B I can assure you I’ll make you proud!Samantha Gallyer

As a student with little knowledge in the medical field I chose the Lab Assistant course at California Institute of Medical Science. All of the skills and training received were exceptional. It as fun, interactive and very helpful. The clinical hours are even more exciting. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who loves working with people and would like to give back to the community. My words cannot explain how much gratitude I have for the involvement in my continuing education by the staff at CAIOMS.Dee Lee

I absolutely love this school and the staff! Ms. B, Sherri and Daneillie are amazing and very professional. They all get stuff done that needs to be done. I also like the fact that the class is small, you get more hands on learning. I am currently a medical assistant student here, but I’m almost finished. I’m really happy that I chose to come to this school. Thank you again for everything that you 3 do! You are greatly appreciated! *Karen BerberanKaren Berberan

The instructors are friendly and really help you understand the concepts well. They are available for anything and respond quickly when asked questions via text or email. All faculty members are friendly and inviting, which made me feel comfortable asking them questions.Josiah Camacho

Don't come here if your not serious, you get what you put in as a student. It's easy to get A's if you try and don't let your academic struggles fall on death ears. The staff is there and Mrs. Souza is the best instructor there is.Karissa Gil

The staff and the teachers are very helpful and they go above and beyond to make sure that you understand the courses and you achieve your goal. I will never forget them and this whole experience. Thank you SJVC.Vic Monroe

My experience with San Joaquin Valley College was very wonderful. I know that I did the classes to the best of my abilities with help from the instructors (both ground and online). The staff on the campus are very supportive, even the maintenance members were polite and motivating. This campus offers so much hands on training. I was in the Business Administration program and it was not the typical boring classes. Coming to the campus, I was very shy, but the class has broke me out of the shell to be ready to go out into the working world to be confident and knowledgeable. San Joaquin Valley College inspired me with their motivation and support to help new students at orientation and in class so they do not feel nervous or alone. SJVC also prepared me on how to be professional. The classes were challenging because it was at a fast pace, but the picture in my mind of graduating and being proud of myself, kept me motivated to keep on going. I feel great on entering and finishing with this campus, I came out a new different person from when I first began. I know the support from San Joaquin Valley College will still be there even after graduation.Rachel Ann Murphy

I began classes November 2019 and I really enjoyed going to classes everyday the staff was very caring and was always ready to praise you for your accomplishments it was such a good environment to learn in but that changed halfway through when COVID 19 resulted in everything becoming distance learning , But Mr.D made it very easy to set up meetings and keep up to date on everything, he was very flexible and understanding of the new circumstances. If I ever had any questions it was very easy for me to get a hold of any of the faculty , so COVID did not effect any of my learning . I’m very thankful for the SJVC staff #SJVCPORTERVILLE #justinDamasoMaria Mata

My experience here at San Joaquin Valley College was amazing I had a wonderful time, met amazing staff, met wonderful instructors and learned new things. As a Business student it was nerve wreaking at first, but I got around put myself out there and connected well with others. This school may be small, but definitely worth going because your putting your all. The work may or may not be tough, but you have people there to guid you through, don’t be nervous, always ask for help, and it’s okay to make mistakes. #SJVCPorterville #JustinDamasoNiurka Sinibaldi

My wife and I have been patients at Optimal Medical Group for a couple of years now. As an attorney with over 30 years of striving for excellence in client service, I expect other professionals to deliver the type of service I deliver to my clients. We have been thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and levels of service we receive at OMG. I have a number of health issues that can be quite challenging when considered in connection with one another. During my first visit with Dr. Chavez, we were discussing a couple of my issues. He actually called some of the specialists that I see for specific issues right there on the spot, which I have never seen another doctor do. He regularly has staff reach out to me to see if I need anything in specific. Again, we are quite impressed with the level of service we receive at OMG. I cannot recommend them highly enough.Patrick Moody

I had been looking for a while for concierge medical care and a healthcare professional that truly cared about more than a 10 minute paycheck. I found it in the team at Optimal Medical Group. From the caring staff at the front desk, to the burgeoning medical professionals on staff, to the phenomenal nutritionist and personal fitness guru Jenn Zerling, to Dr. Chavez himself, I have been thoroughly impressed. Their attention to detail, time spent on me personally, and an abundance of follow up phone calls and check ups, confirm they are truly an exceptional operation focused on creating optimal health for their clients. They have re-energized me to reach my health and fitness goals. Their persistence to keeping me on track and banking their success on their clients success is exactly what I have been looking for.Rich Kreps

Dr Chavez and his staff have been amazing. He is very through and his recommendation really work. I first started their weight loss program and have exceeded my goal of losing 40 lbs. I am actually down 53 lbs. My next step with OMG is to optimize my energy levels and increase my libido. He developed a plan for me and if it works like his weight loss plan and could not be happier. His programs are life changing and I would not hesitate to schedule a appointment to go see him. I also go to them for skin rejuvenation and at 48 years old my skin has never looked better. I have had people tell me that I look like I did in high school. Well almost like I did. Go see them asap. You will be so happy you did.Buster Enterprises

This school only cares about the money you pay them. I remember the director contacting me so many times in a week to pay my past due. I was still waiting for my VA benefits to kick in. Then I was told if I don’t pay by this date, I will be removed from the program. So I applied for a loan to pay off my past due. After that I was never harassed again. I expected a lot from this school. From great didactic instructors to clinical instructors. But that did not happened. I only had one good didactic instructor. My clinical instructor was lazy and always complaining. The leadership did not care about you. Just their well being as a school. Your grades don’t matter. Also they did not care if you are a military veteran. There were times that I had to clock in using my phone which is not allowed, but my clinical instructor was always late so I couldn’t clock in using a computer. I was removed from the MRI program because I was DISHONEST. Instead of helping you to improve, they just remove you from the program because they got what they needed from you. MONEY! No kind of remediation whatsoever. Just after your MONEY. You’re better off with Unitek where they care about their students emotionally, spiritually, and personally. Being a nurse is way better than being an MRI tech.👎Ervan Valdez

I applied to the Gurnick Academy ultrasound technology program ( San Mateo campus ), At first I was getting constant email reminders to complete documents before the deadline date . After I completed everything I had an panel interview set up , the interview went well overall but I was asked a certain question that I didn’t completely understand and when I hesitated ( and felt nervous ) the interviewer rudely responded with frustration at my delayed response . At the end of the interview they informed me that I would receive a response within 3 weeks. Within a few days I received an email demanding that I complete a financial aid form within that day “ just in case” I get into the program even though I hadn’t received an acceptance letter. Well.. 3 weeks passed and I sent a follow up email kindly thanking everyone that attended the interview for there time and consideration . I didn’t get a single reply back from that email , a month after the interview day they emailed me informing that I didn’t get in and should try applying next year . The negative reviews I read after the fact are correct , it seemed like they were only after money .Amani Abdaw

I have had the pleasure of working with Gurnick and their students for over 4 years and can say it has been a wonderful experience. The MRI students sent to my facility for clinical training are professional, hard-working and team players. All my Technologists are Gurnick grads! A big thank you to Elena Danilova for building such a great relationship with me and my facility.Kimberly MacDonald

One of the worst experiences I have ever had at an urgent care. I waited in a room for the NP for almost an hour. Once the NP walked in, it was almost as if she determined the kind of person I was just based on my response to reason for visit. I expressed that I was having coughing fits that were affecting my sleep & severe congestion that had been ongoing for almost a week. The program I am in for school is very demanding and I had an exam later that day. So I asked the NP if I could have an inhaler to help with my coughing. The NP then told me that it is not up to me what prescription she prescribes but up to her, after she completes an exam. She spent very little time examining me and chalked my symptoms up to allergies even though I expressed I have never dealt with allergies before. She furthered by telling me that she is "a 33 year old woman who has lived in the valley her whole life" and because she recently got allergies that it is the same for me. She did not listen to me at all. She was very cold with me when I visibly became upset (I was bawling) as I have never been shut down so quickly by a medical professional before nor have I been treated in such a cold manner. I will never be returning to this urgent care. I caution other individuals who may not feel good and are looking for relief to seek out a different urgent care as this current one cares more about getting people "in and out" rather than truly helping.Makenna Gallagher

I have been to this urgent care a total of 3 times. These last two times were even more impressive than the first. I went in with terrible chest congestion after just having gallbladder removal the week before. The doctor immediately recognized that I was not well and had bronchitis or pneumonia coming on. She made sure to call in my two prescriptions to the only 24hr pharmacy in Fresno so that I could start my medications immediately. She asked me to come in the following day to make sure that I was not worsening and it had not progressed to full-blown pneumonia. She communicated with the other doctor who was going to be there the next day to make sure she was aware of what my condition currently was. She listened carefully to my lungs, said I sounded good, great compared to what the other doctor had told her about how bad it really was. I am thoroughly impressed with all the staff I have met and engaged with. AND, you don't wait all day. Very clean facility.Heather Moseley-Falk

The medical staff is great but their admin is terrible. Always put on hold, given the run around with billing, never really had a good check in experience. I got a call from an employee about owing $99 to be caught up on my bills back in May, but then receive a bill from a collection agency for $35. When I call about the $35, they tell me I owe another $93. It's terrible. Now I'm wondering if these bills will ever stop. Or if I paid $100 at some visits, and they billed my insurance company, where did that money go. Especially because I'm not getting billing statements. This has all been more if a headache than the treatment I went in for. I had been going to them for about a year because of their hours of operation being so flexible, but now I'm going to seek treatment elsewhere.Monica M Cortez

My overall experience at CalRegional has been absolutely wonderful! From the very first day my teacher Michelle P. made each of us feel like we had a reason for being there, and that she was determined to see us succeed! We were all SO nervous to start our externship portion of the class, knowing we were about to start physically poking each other with needles Lol. But our skills instructor, Samoia J. couldn't have possibly made class more enjoyable. She was ALWAYS making every one of us crack up, but also always teaching us how serious our job was. It is a great feeling to know that the ones teaching you are on your side and always have your back 😊. I would highly recommend CalRegional to my friends and family, and DEFINITELY, if you are blessed enough to have the chance, have Michelle P. and Samoia J. as your teachers! I miss them both greatly and look forward to eventually taking another class at CalRegional 😆🙏❤️!Laura Canalita

I was in the phlebotomy program and had Michelle and samoia as instructors and in more words or less they were amazing . I never felt like I wasn’t given the tools to pass and do my best. The prep material for tests and quizzes gave me every opportunity to pass and more. Michelle was nice and always happy to help with any questions I had. Samoia, eased all my fears and had complete confidence in me when I didn’t. If your contemplating taking this course , do it , great program and even better instructors!Brittany Aguayo

I joined Calregional for the phlebotomy program in September and just passed the AMCA with a 94/100 in October. I loved the course and was extremely satisfied with my instructors Michelle and Samoia. They made sure to prepare us for success since the first day. Gave us all the tools and resources we would need not just for our classroom but even for what we should expect from our future employers. I would highly recommend this course to anybody interested and I have no regrets whatsoever.Elizabeth Lara

I recently needed non-urgent medical attention in the middle of a road trip. Google brought up options and I chose this provider based on good reviews. They fully earned my 5 stars. Front desk staff was courteous and efficient. The medical assistant was pleasant and I especially appreciated Dr. Kerr's services. He listened, asked relevant questions, examined, and devised a treatment plan that could be handled despite me being on the road. They promptly transmitted the prescriptions to a pharmacy about three blocks away. (I chose it because of convenience.) From start to finish at the clinic took less than an hour. They were not affiliated with my Washington State health insurance nor was the national chain pharmacy so it was all out of pocket, pay at time of service. My vacation basically wasn't disrupted at all by taking the time to seek care and the treatment worked so I was back to 100% in a few days. PS: you can buy travel insurance at a modest price even for road trips. I bought it specifically in case we had medical problems outside of our networks. My claim should be reimbursed in full without having to meet my own health insurance deductibles and co-pays.Joan Morgan

This Urgent Care on Milburn was excellent! After the half-hour wait to get a room (completing the online application at home), the staff and Doctor Kerr were very efficient! Dr. Kerr answered all our questions, and later presented us with written documentation of our test results. The office staff was also especially nice, and upon my inquiry and request, provided me with written documentation from a previous visit to Urgent Care at a different location (that didn't offer us any written documents). We were also allowed to sit inside to wait being called at the Urgent Care, whereas at the other Urgent Care location, we had to wait outside…Jeannie Wong

I’ve had to go to urgent care a couple of times over the last few months because my doctor calls in pretty regularly and no others doctors on staff to see his patients. I was told by a coworker that I should go to Premium Urgent care on Milburn and I am soooo glad I did! Everyone there is so polite and extremely professional. They truly are the best. I now tell all of my friends, family and customers that come to my store to go there. I wish Dr. Kerr would open his own practice and take the entire staff with him. They are the best!McKinlay Bradshaw

Fresno Imaging Center is a disorganized mess, and G-H-E-T-T-O to boot! My daughter had an appointment for an ultrasound at 12:30 p.m. today and I should've known there was going to be a problem the moment we walked in and saw a full waiting room, with most of the patients being walk-ins without an appointment. In preparation of this ultrasound, my daughter had to drink 32 oz of water an hour prior to the scheduled appointment and not go to the bathroom until after the procedure, as the bladder needs to be full in order to get adequate images. This is a procedure I myself have had 3-4 times over the past 30 years and because of the type of ultrasound it is and the large amount of water you have to drink and hold for an hour before the appointment, the ultrasound technician will call you back for the procedure within 5 minutes of checking in for your appointment. At least this has always been my experience. After waiting 35 minutes I decided to ask one of the clerks up front how much longer would the wait be. She looked at her computer screen, frowned and said, "Let me go back and check for you." She does this, comes back up front and tells me the technician is downloading a report and it'll be another five minutes before my daughter is called back. "Downloading a report?!" Really???? When there's a patient with a full bladder about to burst in the waiting room and it's already 35 minutes past her appointment time!!??? This points to poor judgment or just plain laziness on the technician's part, or poor management of clinic staff overall. I sat back down and saw that my daughter, having to "hold her water" for the past 1.5 hours is very uncomfortable. Seven more minutes pass and my daughter is still waiting to be called back for the procedure and she's now in tears. I tell her to go the bathroom and I'll cancel the appointment. I approach one of the front desk clerks, cancel the appointment and she asked me if I "wanted to reschedule." I told her there is absolutely no way I'd ever come back to this poorly organized facility. I chose to bring my daughter to Fresno Imaging Center because of its convenience, as it's in my neighborhood. In fact, the facility is within walking distance of our house. I'm a military veteran and the Fresno VA Hospital is in the process of referring me to this facility for an X-Ray. This was done at my request for the reason I stated — the convenient location in proximity to my house. However, after today's debacle — I'm calling the VA as soon as I finish writing this review and tell them to send me to another imaging facility.Carolyn Carter

I highly recommend Fresno Imaging Center for all of your medical imaging needs! The employees are knowledgeable, professional, kind, and caring. The center is clean and well organized with socially distanced spaced chairs in the waiting areas and nice lounges for patients to change clothes for different imaging appointments. Masks are required for everyone's protection. Clear safety dividers are in place at the front desk. It was truly a pleasant experience to be a patient twice here for two different medical imaging appointments. Each visit went well with convenient preregistration and very short wait times. Every employee who helped me went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed for my appointments as well as any follow up information afterwards. Thank you, Fresno Imaging Center personnel, for your dedication and your kindness! Thank you for treating me like family!Jenny Fall

The front desk is absolutely awful and it was a s**tshow. There were multiple people coming in cutting the line and the staff at the front desk didn't care to serve people that were already waiting there. I had to stand up for myself when people newly walked in and tried to cut in front of me, and and the front desk women were extremely judgmental. I had to wait a good 30 minutes after my appointment time, although I came 20 minutes early and checked in as they had asked. I will never go back to this place. They get two stars only because the gentleman doing my CT scan was extremely friendly and efficient.Aleen Manchester
