20 Best Medical Assistant Programs In Pittsburgh, PA (2022 Updated)

I have graduated with five degrees from four different universities in Pittsburgh ranging from Bachelor to Doctorate degrees. I can honestly state that Duquesne was my favorite school. I received a higher quality of education and benefitted more from the smaller classes which are not offered by other schools. Most of my educators actually cared about their students and were not at all condescending (ok, there were a couple). Duquesne costs a bit more, but it was worth it. The campus is great. The classrooms; halls; and grounds are clean, traditional, and safe. My child chose to go to another school, but I would sleep better knowing that was living on campus at Duquesne rather than an apartment in Oakland. The only criticism I have is Duquesne has become more noticeably politically liberal than other Catholic schools. I’m ok with limited expression of personal liberal or conservative views, but I am disappointed when those views become a driver for the facility and administration to influence students. Some of those views have reached national attention which lowers my annual donations to the school.Jerry

We went for a campus tour today and absolutely fell in love with the campus. We are from the Pittsburgh area and I never expected the campus to be as big and charming as it is. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and the student:teacher ratio (14:1) with an average class size of 28 was a major bonus. The dorms are 2 bed frames with a desk and closet for each roommate with 2 drawers under the bed as well. They're spacious and clean. They have an amazing 4 floor workout building with every piece of equipment you could ever need! It truly is a hidden gem right in the downtown area. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still close enough to enjoy downtown amenities. I don't see how any other college could top this!!Melanie Phillips

A well known midsized eastern university. Good mix of commuter students and full time students living on campus. Known for programs in pharmacy. education, and music. Good mix of students from all ethnic/economic backgrounds. Although a Catholic University religion is not overly stressed.Peter Halapatz

I attended this college for a few semesters and the negative reviews on here are DEFINITELY valid. The campus is asking for positive reviews to combat the negative ones so it’s uncertain how accurate the positive reviews are. It’s true that there’s absolutely nothing to do for fun unless you feel like driving an hour away. That’s not the campus’s fault but they could’ve hosted more fun, age appropriate events to help that. Most students were nice, a handful of faculty were nice. It definitely has the vibe of a community college. It was a “meh” experience for me, but for the money you could definitely have a better experience attending a different college. Over 3/4 of my college friends ended up leaving after their first year to peruse their education elsewhere. Including me. Which is very telling.Jennifer (Jenwal23)

I spent 3 years at this campus getting my RN degree and all I can say is that the campus was beautiful in the fall, the rooms and equipment were above grade for learning and studying. The professors at the campus treated you like family, always striving for academic excellence from each student and offering opportunities for every student to succeed. The charm of the older buildings added to this campuses classic and traditional feel, very welcoming environment. Very safe campus to be on, campus police were very attentive and vigilant, well lite areas at night, dorms are monitored daily. Overall this campus is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone.Denise Schmader

I'm sorry to see all of these poor reviews. I attended between 1978 and 1980 for my first 2 years of engineering. The small class sizes made the education very personal as opposed to the large lecture halls of the main campus. Yes, the town teenagers were incredibly backwards, I can still see them cruising the park below the dormitories on a Friday night, and there was no night life but that isn't why I went there. Of course I have no idea how it has changed in the last 40 years but it was exactly what I needed at the time.Douglas Smithman

This is a terrible university–at least from the perspective of a recent graduate student. From student housing, administration, available student resources (including post-graduation career advising, etc.), to some professor(s) playing politics & exacerbating an already tumultuous time for students, this is far and away the most crooked university I've ever had the displeasure of attending. It should be said there are a few fantastic professors who really made the program worthwhile and indeed enjoyable, though they are unfortunately not valued appropriately by the university. The sustainability of Eden Hall campus is also, frankly, laughable. Prospective students are strongly advised to attend another university or, at the bare minimum, tour Chatham in person and ask hard questions bluntly (How does Eden Hall factor into the financials of Chatham University? What is the base pay rate for students who hold jobs on campus? How will faculty be held accountable for predatory/questionable behavior and treatment of students? What does diversity of professors and executive-level management look like to Chatham? Are professors on the cutting-edge of their field and in tune with current trends/issues/solutions? What is the housing situation and will the university honor leases it enters into with students? What resources are available for students along their graduation trajectory, concerning professional development and career skills? Are some students treated preferentially by executive-level professors and how do you rectify these situations? What is the job outlook for graduates who hold XYZ degrees? Does the dining hall offer meals using ingredients primarily sourced from the campus farm? Will my papers be graded in a timely fashion with appropriate comments and edits where necessary? Will students be caught in the crossfire of professor/administration feuds and treated with disrespect in the classroom? Do professors speak poorly of current students to other students? Are some students given preferential treatment regarding thesis timelines and professor access, how will they be held accountable? Will course expectations for success be explained clearly and the syllabus adhered to, and if not, what is the process for rectifying this issue?)Ryan

I attended Chatham for 1 1/2 years in the Food Studies graduate program before transferring to another university. While my time in Pittsburgh was great and I had many once-in-a-lifetime experiences because of my attendance at Chatham, I feel that the program was nothing like I was led to believe and I often wondered while I was there if things were being done the best possible way. Many great advancements have been happening there over the past couple of years, especially in the Falk School of Sustainability. But it always felt super rushed, like they wanted to be the first ones to do this and thus didn't quite get the input from students and community that they should have. For instance, when they transferred the entire school out to the farm, many of us students were left hanging, with decisions being made without our input that didn't benefit us and often made our lives more complicated. Also, many new classes would be offered that were exciting but felt poorly planned. Ideas for courses would be posed just months (weeks, for one of them!) before offering them. While those teachers were certainly qualified to deliver that course, there simply wasn't enough fore-thought and planning put into the curriculum. I had enrolled in one of those courses because it sounded amazing and perfect for what I want to do, but it was extremely disorganized and didn't even feel like it was graduate level information being offered. Chatham as an undergrad school is also somewhat lacking from what I could see. There are very few majors actually offered in comparison to other schools, and those that exist also have very limited course offerings. It is a great place to go for that small-school feel and to be able to have your voice easily (sometimes TOO easily, given some of the voices that were loudest when I was there) heard by staff, students, and community. It offers a very welcoming atmosphere for diversity and, because of its small size, more opportunity to take on leadership roles in student organizations and such. But there are other schools that aren't as flashy and high-profile that can offer the same programs and just as many unique opportunities at a better deal. Chatham is pricey!!Christine Noelle

chatham seems to have deleted the previous one lol 🤨 but yeah if i could take back ever coming here i absolutely would. they say they’re this super liberal and minority caring campus but it’s the total opposite. someone said that “unless you’re an athlete or bringing them in money they couldn’t care less about you.” and i would agree but even then i don’t think they care about anything but making themselves look good and profit. when i attended i reached out to their “mental health service line” about the challenges i was facing and they didn’t respond to me until i had dropped out of the school over a month later and even then it was only to get a survey of “how i liked chatham?” this place and it’s president are an entire joke and i strongly advise looking ANYWHERE else.Antón Muíño

I was very happy with Kris Jackson she did my tour and always answered me when I had any questions. I started in January of 2021 still in the mist of COVID. I had a good experience, be prepared NOTHING IS EASY you have to study study study. I feel like most of the teachers there really do want to see you do good and will genuinely try to do a lot to help. I struggled a lot but there is always tutoring and someone willing to help. With every school comes drama that has nothing to do with school but just to know. There’s a lot of commitment when signing up so just know what your getting yourself into. The school teaches you a lot you need to know and has plenty of resources if you need more help. Only thing I wish I knew was more things that we could’ve been taught for the “real world” like a lot we get taught we need to know but there is some small things we have to know like trying to find veins by ourself or little tricks other than that I had a good experience. I would recommend if you are able to commit to a long hard program it is very rewarding in the long end.Emily Pham

As a former graduate of VTI and soon to be practicing veterinarian medicine for about a year I cannot thank the staff and mentors enough for caring and teaching me the skills that I use in everyday practice. They were always so thoughtful and there when you needed a helping hand wether it was something as big as tutoring before all classes started or as small as just small words of advice to keep students going through the program. The classes are geared towards exactly what you need to know and all the teachers seem to be very knowledgeable in which subjects they teach. If you are as lucky as me throughout the program you may even adopt your own 4 legged bestfriend you met during kennel duty!! 🙂Haidyn Craig

The Vet Tech Institute is an incredible school that teaches the reality of the animal career field. It teaches self discipline, personal instinct to trust, and an incredible amount of respect for the workers in any animal field. The staff are so incredibly patient and truly show their passion to teach and to love the animals we work with on an everyday basis. Being able to work with animals everyday in class only better creates a self confidence that has to be grown. This institute ensured me a successful career working with animals that no other school could do. I happily recommend it to anyone who is driven and ready to put in the work!Kelcey Harris

I started the IT program last fall with an open mind. I'm almost done with my 1st year. I can honestly say that this has been the best experience I've ever had. The teachers care more about their students grades than the students themselves. They want nothing more than for you to succeed. The expectations were not unreasonable and the assignments really tested what I thought I knew about technology. I can't wait to see what the next year brings and I highly recommend everyone to take that next step and find a career that makes them happy. Technology has always been my passion and I'm glad that I found a school that believes in me more than I believe in myself.Mark David

Experience at PSU main nearby but, have spoken with the school in 2016 – 2017 for a recent high school grad. That would be our daughter whom also personally spoke with the recruiter for this area at her high school and still receives other schooling and trainings though. She chose a more local college and didn't like it then in fall of 2017. She's been working pretty steadily in similar fields. Her exact interest was Senographer, I do believe. Wish she would have had the opportunity to take a tour. However, with her work schedules and covid travelling restrictions, she did not.Kimberly Ramsey

I just met with admissions and i am 38 years old about to start school and they were absolutely amazing and made me feel confident and comfortable which is huge to me. I would recommend them to anyone.Nicole Hamer

Im really glad I found this school to pursue my ultrasound career. The teachers and staff were amazing, our ultrasound teachers were there for us 100% of the time. Mary Beth stayed after class and tutored me almost everyday for a few hours. The faculty at this school truly care about their students and the education they are receiving, they go above and beyond to help us achieve our goals. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to go to school for ultrasound. They have a variety of machines to learn on as well as phantoms. It’s very challenging but very rewarding, you get what you put into it!victoria arnold

I come for a massage every 2 to 3 wks and every student/massage therapist that I have had has been very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and respectful but most importantly each person truly wants to be good at what they do! Not any of them would get any complaints from me! I have been very happy going there and meeting each one and my massage experience’s have really helped my neck and back pain! Thank you so much!Karen Kimet

Great Lakes offers a wide variety of programs to get you started in the medical field. I toured the facility with the intent on becoming a nurse, but after seeing everything Great Lakes offered I am now working towards my associates in surgical technology. I would also point out that the entire staff puts a lot of effort into everything they do because they truly want everybody to succeed in anything they do.joshua weunski

The alumni job assistance is truly useless. There are quite literally only a small handful of jobs on the job board, all of which are interns and/or entry level. I understand this is for students, and to avoid lawsuits for misleading about job placement numbers post grad, but PTC claims they have a strong alumni program and support. The lie detector test found that this was a lie. I would also like to mention that the faculty at the time CALLED THE POLICE ON ME and attempted to PRESS CHARGES when I participated in their FACULTY SPONSORED HACKING EVENT. Exposing real vulnerabilities in the PTC network was apparently upsetting to them, despite this being a school sponsored and authorized event. While the charges were not filed/dropped, I was still publicly accused and forced to speak to law enforcement as a child who did not know my rights at the time. I would not recommend this organization. I would be interested in participating in any class action suit that would be filed by any interested party.Thomas Mullen

This is a fantastic school and very different than my experience at a state school. I started at a public college here in PA and most of my professors didn't care, I even had some that mentioned they didn't have an attendance policy because they get paid no matter what grade I get. It is also tough to get help when you have a few hundred people in your class. It lead to some of the worst grades in my life. After 2 years I was tired of wasting time and money so I dropped out of MU and later enrolled at Pittsburgh Technical College. The teachers got to know each of us in the class pretty well and many of them would reach out if a student missed class to make sure they were ok. The hands on aspect of the school was great as I prefer to learn by doing things instead of reading about them. The internship was also a major benefit, especially when it was time to get a job and I had experience that other candidates didn't. It was a fantastic experience that I wish I knew about sooner.Denslow Cup

I wish we were allowed to have other students in the dorms. As of right now with the current COVID situation, only students who live in the respective dorm are allowed in making it hard to meet other students in the building or even on the floor. Residence life makes it hard to have a bonfire or even cook outside. We were told that we weren’t allowed to use the grills on campus even though we had been using them for well over an hour. I love the education that I am getting, however, there needs to be an understanding that we as students need to have the ability to interact with each other.Stevan Pastar

I’m Paul wife, Ann (Annette). This hospital is amazing!!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Everyone there is so kind. I would like to mention a few, Stacey in radiology. She does my spinal lumbars and I’m not talking just one , right now I get every Monday for chemo injections to my spinal fluid. She is tremendous and you feel so comfortable with her. She gives you that feeling everything will be okay. She definitely knows what she is doing and you can tell she has a lot of compassion for her patients. I’m always so happy when I see she is doing my spinal… ❤️ Katelyn RN in ICU. She shines and has this happiness about her that makes me know with her caring for me, I’ll be fine. She answers all my questions and if she doesn’t know the answer she’ll tell me and tell me she’ll find out and let me know. And she always follows through. She is a great ICU nurse!!!! I would give her so many stars if I could. ❤️ Than tonight I got to meet another ICU Night nurse Patrick. Wow he is awesome!!! He definitely loves what he is doing because it runs off of him onto his patients. I can feel his concern for me when he comes and takes care of me. I never feel like I’m a bother or an nuisance around him. He always shows up with a smile and a joy on helping. He’s a great nurse and I would also give him many many stars too. ❤️ This hospital surely knows how to pick their workers and nurses. Just the few that I have come in contact with since I was diagnosed with cancer have been so good to me. Thank you everyone and thank you Shadyside for being a great city hospital to a small town country girl!Paul E

My dad and mom drove 3 hours from Central PA to get my dad's hip surgery revision done. The surgery date has already been pushed back twice and he has waited months for this. They are told to be at this location at 5am so my dad can get his dialysis treatment before surgery. They left at 2am to get there by 5am, and they get there and the dialysis center doesn't even open until 7am?? Why would they have to be there 2 hours early to just sit around and wait for it to open. That's the first issue. Now even worse, my dad's blood sugar is 152 and the surgeon says he's not doing the surgery? UNBELIEVABLE. I've never heard of such a thing. I'm a Registered Nurse and this just makes my blood boil. This is terrible patient care. Sounds like the surgeon (Klatt) just needs an excuse to not do the case today. His only option to make it right- come back on Thursday and we will do the hip surgery. You're joking right? After my mom already made arrangements to come down and stay with my dad, you want them to drive 3 hours back home just to do the same thing again in 3 days. Now my dad doesn't even want to go back to have the surgery done after this fiasco. Worst part, they are stuck down there for another 4 hours so he can get his dialysis treatment when he couldve just had it done at home. As a concerned family member and nurse, please avoid this hospital and surgeon.Megan H

I have been hospitalized since Friday and they have done absolutely nothing for me. They are not controlling my pain, and refused my request for a GI consult although I have told them my GI doctor works for the hospital! All they gave me for pain was Tylenol and bentyl which I take at home and that is why I came to the hospital because they were not helping me. Then, they gave me torodol even though I told them MULTIPLE TIMES that I was allergic to it and I immediately had a allergic reaction, to which they had to immediately give me Benadryl. If I have to be hospitalized again for any GI issues, I will be going to AHN although my GI is UPMC. I did everything my GI doctor office said to do and I am no better off. Worst hospital experience I have ever had. I will never go back to ANY UPMC hospital ever again. They are only giving one star because their staff is awesome. Even the food is horrendous.Leah Caldwell

Not only was this a pleasant experience, but the staff in their entirety were also cohesively connected in making sure that the visit was as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Records were reviewed carefully, all documentation was requested beforehand, and I was reminded via text not once — but three times. (And trust me, this is a plus, because I had so much going on before the appointment that if lost track of time completely. I think the name of this company is completely accurate: Compassionate Care. I should also mention that my Physician had a broad spectrum of knowledge, that some of the information he provided was news to me — and I've working in healthcare a majority of my adult life. Highly recommended. Don't even second guess yourself on following through with this place. If you need to read one review, this is the one. Thanks you to all who helped me through this process. See you in a year.Jamie Lord

I am extremely impressed with Compassionate Care from start to finish. They were so organized and prompt with every step in this process that I’m still raving about their service and my experience. I was concern that my medical records would not arrive on time and that my video call would not work. Everything went perfectly. The doctor was wonderful to the point that I am so impressed with his bedside manner. He listened to every concern and answered all questions. Generally in this day an age I feel very rushed through with medical appts not so with Compassionate Care. My video call went perfectly and they even called me prior to my appointment to do a test run on FaceTime. Again I can not say enough good about this agency and I HIGHLY recommend them in this whole process. Thank you Compassionate Care!Nala The Noodlegator

I have been using this company since my journey of MMJ started. I chose them above everyone else because they were there for every step, every question and made the process easier. It can be tricky getting all your medical records and everything together, especially if your PC doesn’t support. Luckily all my doctors are on board. I have now started my third year with MMJ and the renewal with CCC is amazing. Every doctor I have is amazing, helpful, friendly, non judgmental, and super knowledgeable. This year’s doctor was the best yet, I felt so comfortable. It can be difficult and/or embarrassing talking about your health issues but they make it easy. I’d give them 10 stars ⭐️ if I could. My highest recommendation!Jesse Watts

I've been attending this school for dental assisting for about 7 months now and it's definitely grown on me. After completing four years of college at a different school, I felt dissatisfied with my major and my education because I didn't feel prepared to enter the job field at all. In contrast, IMC offers the hands on training needed to pass the certifications to ultimately pave the path for the career you signed up in the first place. Classes are taught by experienced professionals who dedicate a lot of time and energy to make sure that their students are prepared for their externship and their future job. The small class sizes enable students to have a close relationship with their teachers. IMC is the type of school where you go to learn as much as you possibly can to prepare you for a job, but it's fast-paced and requires professionalism, hard work, and motivation to get to class every day to finish the program.Jen

I been here at this school since 2019 I started out doing phlebotomy. I couldn’t proceed with that program because of a death in my family , I went back January 2nd 2020 for dental Assistant and I love it.! Although the pandemic hit us hard , I continued to push it to the limit and now I’m doing internship within a few weeks I’ll be graduating. Proud to say that I did this with a lot of stress and complications. But through it all I made it and pushed through . I love the school and staff members . Couldn’t of asked for a better team here at IMBC ! With that being said I just want to take the time out and say Thankyou all for helping me reach my goal .Niya Hicks

So far IMBC has been a perfect school for me and my everyday schedule. I am able to take my children to school, and daycare everyday, and also pick them up due to IMBC having a Mommy schedule for those with children, even those without. My instructors have been excellent so far from Mrs.Amy, Miss Simmons, and Ms.G. They all work with you when it comes to assignments, grades, and wherever you may be lacking at. Each teacher has their own unique way of teaching, which makes each term exciting to look forward to. All I can say is keep up the good work IMBC!Niashia Tirado

While I personally have not availed myself of the educational aspects of BTC, I have referred numerous folk to this facility over my 30 years in the ministry in and around the Pittsburgh area. Young people struggling with 'temptations of easy money on the streets' have found viable vocations thru training at BTC. Older folk stuck in deadend jobs have opened their horizons thru additional training. Offering people the opportunity to expand their cultural and social vistas have found art and music and entire worlds they did not realize existed – all of it at Bidwell. I can't speak highly enough of their dedicated staff, excellent training and top notch caring. And if Bidwell can't help, they will find someone who can. One of the best kept secrets of Pittsburgh – spread the word: Bidwell Training Center.Mary Jane Fullerton

Bidwell Training Center… Professional and welcoming atmosphere, Quality education (at NO cost to the student), GREAT instructor's and staff (who become your personal cheerleaders) A TRAINING CENTER THAT LIVES UP TO ITS MORALS AND STANDARDS. This place WILL change your life for the better If you REALLY want to invest in yourself. Proud to be an ALUMNI! #ABKTonja Grate

This place is the best kept secret in Pittsburgh! There are several programs. I am very involved in the Chem Lab Tech program. If you're thinking of furthering your education or getting a solid skill set in a growing industry, check this program out.Angelo Nardozi

Prism Career Institute Philadelphia Campus LPN program PN 38 Started in Nov 2018 Graduate in March 2020 Day Pilot Program I went to Aria RN program but left when I had my son. The Prism program reminds me of Aria's RN program in it's quality. I think it's even better because of how much the teachers care and come from an understanding perspective. From the DON to the teachers, us students are regarded as unique individuals with the potential of becoming quality nurses. We're treated with the utmost respect and taken seriously. How kind and helpful the teachers are encourages us to study harder. The program is accredited and will be for couple more years (confirm before you join any program). The clinical instructors are very helpful. A few may need to brush up on the exact protocol but other than that a lot of the instructors are very knowledgeable, relaxed, caring and welcome questions to enhance our learning. They do not look for reasons to fail students. The simulation lab helps you to further learn nursing skills and is done in a way where privacy is upheld (other students and teachers are not privy to what you have done in the sim lab). The practice dummy has simulated breath sounds, vital signs etc. to help create life like events seen on clinical floors. The guidance counselors help you tremendously in finding jobs and guiding you to a RN program. Some negatives include the bathrooms being messy time to time. Students can come off rowdy, unprofessional and immature. But sitting in the front can avoid any issues with students who talk during lecture time. Some days I do find classes starting really late due to teacher's unpreparedness. Selection of where we do clinicals need to be improved. Few of the clinical sites were a little gut wrenching but at least the clinical instructors made it tolerable. If you are trying to decide between the LPN and RN program let the TEAS exam decide for you. If you scored just enough for the LPN program definitely pick the Prism program especially if it's close to you and affordable. This can be the stepping stone in the health field for you that you need.Laya Thomas

This school’s zoom teaching during the pandemic has been a complete mess! This place gets you to the last semester and fails people over and over because they weren’t prepared from the second semester! I feel very sorry four the students that go here because teaching on zoom and working on manaquins is not a proper way to train a nurse. Without hands-on in person clinical it’s very difficult for the students to grasp the concepts. The teaching of the nursing courses Is actually done by reading power points to them and that’s it! There’s no helpful Counseling on how to get through these tests there’s no guidance! I can’t understand why they can’t look at the test that they’re giving and give test prep questions on their subjects but the teacher said that requires her to do more work and she’s not doing it ! She said and I quote it’s time for all of you to get off the training wheels! What kind of support person trying to get students through a pandemic teaching situation would talk to them Like that! tutoring consist of the exact same thing zoom classes making you bring to them what you don’t understand instead of them helping you grasp the concepts of the things that you are failing! Person after person keeps saying I’m failing and failing and failing and they’re doing nothing but collecting money hoping for the next semester to come along and they can collect more money but not change anything ! these reviews on this site are serious issues that need to be addressed. I feel duped I’m sure most of the other students Do too! this was a total letdown I understand the pandemic closed for different schooling situations but my God reading from a PowerPoint is not teaching! Yes anybody could do that my 15-year-old daughter could do that! There’s a difference between the nurse and the nurse teacher. Plus the state seems to randomly show up a lot! Save yourself money and time. Anytime I mention the school to anybody people cringe and say oh my God that’s cool is so bad!!!! I’m embarrassed that we were part of such a poorly designed program!erin donohoe

I have experienced observing and hearing students in the community also read some of the reviews which are subjective, To obtain true thorough reviews The Main Question is what is the passing percentage of the students who complete and graduate along with what is the percentage for passing the State Boards. If the percentage is low then the focus is the teachers and course format, itinerary. Students that I had observed, and overheard their frustrations appear to be with the faculty. Labeled as poor teaching methods, and knowledge is limited, they just read from "book" along with having a personality of a friend, street affect when speaking, or answering a question, and is probably because the teacher wants to be friendly, liked , but that is not a professional way. So additional questions for a true review, Is the State monitoring close not only the format of course, but is what is written and accredited being implemented through thorough teaching, mentoring, etc. . Remember any course, program, etc. is considered a Great, Successful, Recommendable, etc. is those who excel with high student success , achievements……not low passing percentages and low drop out rates. Also, If the school has low success outcomes I would assume the State would place more attention to ensure full correct accreditation, which is another question, how many times does the State do an on site check and if there are trends, is the Plan of Correction not only submitted by school, but is is implemented by school to ensure success and increase of achieved outcomes of goals . So reviews are superficial, and for a career choice ensure you obtain the facts for the program, of career course. Good Luck and hopefully this program is not under any State surveillance.Bridget Po'gMoTho'in

My therapist, Neil, is excellent! I’ve had great success about a year ago with a back injury, and now I am back again with a different injury. I had great results with Neil the first time, and I am lucky he is still there for me for this new injury I have occurred. He is very knowledgeable and is able to adapt and change up exercises to help heal the targeted injury. He explains why we do certain exercises, and will watch you as you do the exercises to assure that you are doing the exercise correctly. Printed out sheets of exercises to do at home are also extremely helpful! Neil really cares about his clients and truly strives to work with you to get you back on the road to recovery! Thanks Neil!!Laura Heck

Amanda Cascio is the best! She tailored my therapy to my needs for both life and my profession. I appreciate the extra work/preparation she put in to develop a program relevant specifically to my job. She would always push me to improve yet would recognize if I was struggling with symptoms on a particular day. She has the expertise to then, instantly pivot into something different than planned that would be more beneficial for that session. She successfully taught me the skills to "get my life back". She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and celebrates each milestone with you as you improve. I would give 10 stars, if it were possible.Amy Kastronis

Neil and company have long been thoroughly well informed, providing me excellent therapy for various orthopedic injuries. Their treatment is patient, informative and conducted in an uplifting frame of mind. After more than 50 years in the martial arts, I am able still to be very active, knowing that they have my back. I heartily recommend this center for Physical Therapy services.Thomas Congedo

I started with AMCI January 2022 and finished March 2022 as an independent student. Though I was doing self-paced, I love how the lecture videos are very specific and student-centered. The instructors are amazing and quick to respond to all my questions and clarifications. The customer service is amazing as well. I took my CPC Certification exam online yesterday and got the results today. Thanks to AMCI I am very happy with my score. AMCI truly prepares you to pass the CPC exam. Recommend this school. Edit: I just want to share that for the past two weeks, I have been invited to some interviews, actually passed a pre-employment test and finally got a job offer. Every time I got these things I always circle back and remember I made a right choice of choosing AMCI as my school.Precious Abellar

I absolutely love this program. It is fast paced and easy to follow. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and answer all of your questions during the chat regardless of the amount of students in the class. You never feel ignored and the teachers make it extremely easy to follow and learn. Some lessons are a little challenging but you will do. As the teachers say "AHA moment" Med Term is fun and the games make it easy to learn. This program is great and I advise anyone that wants to learn coding should take this course. It is totally worth every penny. The best part is the part one can be free if you are accepted.linda bray

I am a student in the CPC course and I am really glad I made this choice for training. It is very structured. The trainers and administrative staff are responsive. The guided approach is really good for me and I didn't expect to like it but the interaction with the training team is good; I like to demonstrate my progress. I look forward to the opportunities to gain experience and to remain connected to this school. It's like I have an all-inclusive resource. I love a good deal and this is a really good deal!! I will definitely recommend AMCI to anyone I come across that is interested.Miz Rich

Sabrina and D’Asia were awesome instructors. I was super hesitant initially about the program being so short. However, with their combined knowledge and love of phlebotomy I feel prepared and ready to go to work. I feel successful and confident! Sabrina made the class feel relax with her southern hospitality and fun loving personality. She invited each person to ask loads of questions and practice until we felt confident! Highly recommend this class and instructors. Thank youAMY RAMIREZ

The instructor Sabrina was great and very informative! With her many years of experience in this field, she was able to teach us all the tips and tricks when it comes to blood draws! We were allowed to move at our own pace until we grew more comfortable with the mannequins until trying it on our classmates. I would recommend this to anyone trying to get into the health field.Amanda Schlor

Sabrina and DAsia are phenomenal teachers. Their combined experience and attention to the success of their students provides you with an exceptional learning environment. The class was a great balance of lecture and hands-on training. Highly recommend this class for people interested in entering healthcare.Lucian Marcus

In April, I signed up to go paddle boarding with my Girl Scouts at Moraine State Park, and a few days later I signed up with Allegheny Medical for their weight loss program. I wanted to be able to 1) wear a bathing suit for the first time in 2 or 3 years, 2) stand up on the board, and 3) maybe actually paddle the board somewhere. My family went once before, and I was only able to barely get up before I shakily fell down to the great amusement of my children. I’m so thankful to Dakota, my health coach at Allegheny Medical, that I lost 28 pounds, and I was to successfully paddle board standing up pretty much the whole two hours. There were ten of us this morning, and it was so much fun!!!! Personal victory accomplished!Box Top Mama

I honestly can't say enough about what Dakoda and this weight loss program has done for me. In a year, I am down 67 pounds and counting. I want to encourage anybody who is on the edge of making a decision to drop weight, develop a healthier eating style and change your life for the better. Please do not hesitate to start today. Do not let cost, time, or skepticism hold you back. YOU ARE WORTH IT!! If you get a chance to talk to Dakoda and would like to ask me questions about my journey, let him know because I would be happy to share. (Before and After pics)Leeann Robison

I had the pleasure of working with Meghan tonight to provide the connections to take on a life-threatening emergency. Because Meghan is sharp, calm under pressure, resourceful, prompt and available when others may not be; she, in collaboration with a local team, passionately took on the task of saving a life tonight. She truly cares about all patients within the practice, gets to know them and respects everyone’s unique circumstances. When you message her at the practice, feel confident you will be answered and your unique needs will be fulfilled.Carly Tustin

After working as a CNA as staff in facilities for about 13 years i was nervous about going agency at first. After reading reviews on a bunch of them I saw that CynaMed seemed like a good fit. And I am SO happy i made the choice to go with them. The onboarding was a breeze. The staff walked me through it and got me working very quickly! They are SO easy to communicate with and they always get back to me promptly the same day with answers to any questions I may have. Bobbi is also always on call and always answers the phone and is amazing with helping me in anyway she can. The pay is great and they always have plenty of hours available. They are so friendly and have made my agency experience great. If youre considering working for an agency i HIGHLY recommended CynaMed. i dont have one negative thing to ay about this company. If youre looking for a rewarding experience , the ability to make your own schedule and the chance to work for a kind, friendly and efficient management team with great communication skills, then CynaMed is right for you! You wont regret it!!Bethany Ozepy

I'm an RN. Jayne "the manager?" is extremely unprofessional. She apparently has no superior, so good luck. When I signed a contract, I notified the company that I wasn't able to work a specific day. The company acknowledge this. This is all documented. I received a screaming phone call the morning of this day, threatening that if I didn't go in, from Jayne, that I would lose my job. I agreed to work a double on Christmas Day, as well as New Years Day, hence, needed money. I had to o call off for an emergency that week between the two holidays. I got paid $7.25 for all hours worked, on the holidays. I don't even think that this is legal. Jayne is very hard to even talk to. I set up a face to face appointment with her, spoke to her on the phone and have sent emails. She raises her voice each and every time conversing with you, or simply won't respond to an email. Do not work for this company, as Jayne, who runs the office is too unprofessional and will cause you a bit of frustration. LinkIn is a better company if looking to do PRN work.Chelsea Ruffo

😡😡😡 . they are a bunch of thugs and crooks in awful out of date 80's attire.🤮🤮🤮 jayne is very rude and petty. she lies and accuses employees of being late and whatever it takes to not pay them accurately. you will not be payed for the hours you've worked and the staff hang up on you when you expect an explanation!! there are better companies with better pay although they will claim there arent, i was only offered $13 for over 2 years of experience in the healthcare field!! my new agency pays $18. dont waste your time with cynamed. they are a bunch of liars and clowns, better yet wolves in sheeps clothing.K c

I attended Penn Commercial for the esthetics program. I absolutely loved every minute of the program! The teachers are awesome and caring and do everything they can to make your experience wonderful! The entire staff has been so helpful and caring, they have gone above and beyond to help me get into school and even worked with me on the financial end so that I could get into this program and complete it as well! I love that it is so hands on and they allow you to get the real life experience of the work you will perform once you graduate. I appreciate the staff so much for all the help and support they have offered to me to allow me to become successful. I would recommend this school to anyone that’s ready to commit to their education and career because you get out of something what you put into something, so work hard and watch how rewarding it will become!Jessica Sellers

Nursing program is @$$. The teachers talk horribly about students that ask for help. They allowed a student to say in the class after she was accused of laying her hands on patients at clinical. They use ATI to say their “passing rate” is good when in reality the students only know things from ATI, not the teachers. The DON is a quack. She will lose your important documents and force you to pay for new ones. She clearly shouldn’t be operating in the position she’s in. Please I didn’t listen to the people that told me not to attend her but anyone looking into this school… do not go here.Lola Flowers

Penn Commercial has an amazing Faculty & staff that genuinely cares! My Fiancé needed help with a back end Financial Aid process that is very rare and involved changes to be made to her Pell eligibility. The change is from a closed school discharge. Her FA Counselor Ryan Bazant was very engaged and helpful throughout the entire process taking ownership in every aspect! Thanks to his efforts she was able to get results that afforded her the ability to have less loan usage. She is extremely grateful and looking forward to finishing up her program next week.Carl Clemons

My experience at Central Wellness started out great. I left my previous office due to substandard care and slipping through the cracks due to COVID. I started out with an RN who was extremely helpful. I assume she began feeling overwhelmed with how much help I needed, because they randomly assigned me to a doctor. Me and the RN were doing our best to discuss how all the medicines actually work, and how safe they were. The "doctor" they assigned me basically refused to give me any actual medicine and would slowly changed the topic any time I tried talking about medicine. I got blood pressure medicine, allergy medicine, and medicine that I believe they honestly should have expected to have a potentially bad reaction to. Otherwise the only help they would truly offer was sending me to get checked out at the psych ward, which I know I didn't actually need because, like I expected, they did not keep me. Did I tell my doctor that I felt okay? Of course I did. I only went on their gently urgent recommendation. I thought maybe it was just all a slip up. But nah. This doctor was very clear that they came from the first office I went to. Specifically said not the second office, the first, and talked like I was supposed to remember them. Okay, except I know for a fact that they were never my doctor at the first office, and Central's website literally said this doctor came straight from the second office. What reason would a doctor have to lie straight to your face about something so innocent? One of their aides looked at my chart and literally said something like "let's see what's wrong today…" Isn't the whole point of a check-up ideally to find nothing wrong? And when I told him how I could not do bloodwork that day because of a traumatizing experience at a screening center, he practically rolled his eyes. Something tells me they have a lot of patients like me, and they don't take them seriously. That's really not a good feeling to get from a doctor's office, and since they were at my old practice at the same time I was, I don't feel safe going back there either. Thanks guys? You tried to "help" and literally almost scared me away from true help for good. Honestly my experience with them ended up feeling like they somehow managed to train me like a dog. Arf arf, I guess. This experience was NOT with Dr Lane. I never had the fortune of meeting Dr Lane. This poor experience was specifically with the doctor who somehow followed me from my old practice, but apparently may have also been at my first practice too. Who knows. Edit: For whatever reason I neglected to say which doctor I saw. It was Dr Jesse Gordon. She lied about her professional background.Emmett P

Always a nice, friendly atmosphere and good vibe. The staff are all very knowledgeable and helpful, you can tell they really love what they do – caring for the wellness of others. This is the nicest clinic I’ve ever been to with the most resources available to the community for free. The very best, hands down. They are super awesome!! Recommend visiting here if you need a clinic.Kezia Harewood

Misgendered me in health records on all counts. When called, they didn't fix that – half of the health records still misgender me – and had the audacity to say it was because my ID still reads as M. 1. They never asked for an ID, 2. My ID has read as F for a while.Heather Dogwood
