20 Best Medical Assistant Programs In Sacramento, 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

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

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

Overall, an okay community college experience so far from 2019 to 2022 (I took some summers off). The registration process for me was a nightmare. OpenCC upon some of the other processes were buggy, nonfunctional, or unclear. Despite this, I have to give them slack as when I was applying they were revamping their websites significantly. There's a mixed bag of good and bad staff. Some professors will be insanely rude, not understanding, and sometimes not even lecture properly on the topic at hand. Other professors will be really kind, understanding, and actively willing to work with you. Always look up the professor on Rate My Professor!!! Eservices, Canvas, and Counseling are atrocious. Eservices has been buggy at times or down for multiple hours. Canvas is usually a decent online learning tool, but sometimes it can get buggy and is not always accessibility friendly (as seen by not having a dark mode for example). I recall a time when Canvas was down due to the host servers, which are owned by Amazon, were completely offline. Counseling is not always helpful in guiding you to where to go next, will sometimes not even answer calls nor emails, and can get really busy (even with the switch from the old building to the Welcome and Support Center). I suggest looking up some information yourself on ARCs website first before talking to counselors, such as course catalogs or what classes you might take for a specific associates degree. I wish that counseling would still give out PHYSICAL course catalogs, but it is what it is. Finance is usually okay for parking passes, but other services is like pulling teeth. Communication on what is going on campus varies from good to poor. An example of this is when the pandemic began around midterms and there was the report of two people being exposed to Covid on campus, which caused mass panic and multiple people just walking out of class. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so be prepared to walk a little bit. Also, you will need a parking pass from a kiosk or buy a parking pass permit for the semester. Bathrooms could use some work. I recall a time where after flushing the bathroom started to flood. Food choices were fairly solid. If you were going to Starbucks or Subway during lunch, lines would get long. Only food offered on campus now is either from the student store, the cafeteria, the Oak Cafe, or the few vending machines on campus. Off campus, there's quite a few food places around, such as Lis Mongolian BBQ, Chik Fil A, and In-N-Out. The bookstore has been unorganized in the past, but is relatively chilled back and clean nowadays. Be warned that some things will be overpriced, but that's normal for college. Also, don't be shocked if there's a hassle with ordered books or book returns for refunds.Emily “Emma Anne” Branecki

It's almost like 90% of the people who work here will be rude over the phone and tell you to do everything online. They have messed up most of my paperwork, resulting in me having to resubmit residency forms, application forms, proof of ID. Somehow they put me as out-of-state which includes a 900% markup per credit. I went from expecting a $150 bill for a single class and ended up with a $1200 bill. No one wants to help sort it out. No one wants to answer the phone. The website is difficult to navigate. Honestly, I have had a single positive experience with one person in Admissions, and everyone else has been pushy, rude, dismissive, and argumentative. I am considering switching to literally any other school in the district. My partner attends SCC and it's laughable how smoothly they handled his transition back to school, compared to mine. Edit: it should also be noted that I had applied to ARC 4 times since 2013 and never received a welcome letter. I had emailed asking why I applied and was not told anything, or emailed, called – nothing. I got no response. Called last month because I was at my wits end and I am told "I can't give you a student ID number because your application was DENIED." I asked why and she told me she couldnt tell me. I asked for a supervisor who immediately told me "we have the wrong SSN for you, so none of your applications were accepted because it didn't watch our records." My CORRECT SSN, was being rejected. In 8 YEARS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. Just like they didn't tell me I was listed as out of state, despite submitting residency information multiple times. This school is a JOKEI Illyria

The college is great..,.. the bookstore however is 1 star at best. The school district sub-contracted it out and the new facilitators understand that they have a built in market from people having to use their financial aid or other assorted vouchers from various Govt entities and as a result they practice poor customer service utilizing people that are quite adept at rapid fire litanies telling you why none of the delays or shortages are their concern or problem. In fact in my opinion 90% of their employees that deal with the public are nothing more than thugs and bully's. They take no responsibility for faulty instructions in how to use the new book site with vouchers and tell you that they are "saaaawrrrrry" when they tell you they can't locate your books and give you a date when they will be in. Once again, in my opinion, they are nothing more than petty tyrants and bullies that should have their contract terminated for lack of accountability on their part. The layout has changed,alot of the const of the past couple of years is finished. Check updated maps of Campus on Google 😎Greg Spittler

Fantastic school and wonderful people: friendly, supportive, and dedicated to training physicians and professionals of the highest caliber! Unlike many (if not most) medical schools, UCDavis is dedicated to diversity and serving the entire Californian community – not just in word, but in deed.Carlos Scott Lopez

It looks absolutely beautiful. I hope so much that I could come and study here as I am doing medicine. This is honestly my dream building. It's just an incredible place.Zac Jimenez

Great place to go after you want to find out about me newest medical advances. And Capital One resources for dealing with cancer or chemo related problems.Ellis Weber

They treat their students like garbage. Very judgmental staff and instructors. They tried to kick me out of the school because the vending machine ate my money and I tried to get the item. They lie and fabricate stories to drop you. I was signed up for a weekly zoom meeting that I wasn't told about and they told my instructors and staff that I never signed up and was rude over the phone. None of that happened. All I ever did was work hard and kept quiet but was told that I yelled in a classroom once?? They couldn't provide any proof. Weird and bizarre staff that goes behind your back yet smiles to your face. I commute over an hour to get here and work late night hours I don't deserve that treatment and am disappointed and ashamed of the staff here. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone unless you want to be discriminated against the whole time. Terrible experience Update: an instructor named Bruce Weaver told me to leave because I was wearing shorts and go home and change because it wasn't dress code. On a day that was 105 degrees. This guy is a complete joke and is a terrible instructorGoron Saki

My experience at Asher College has honestly been the most successful I've been at any level of education previously. The Instructors they assign to us and the way in which we are allowed to pursue knowledge, be it through reading or lectures or hands on trail and error, make not just learning the information possible, but guaranteed! I honestly believe this College has a system that adapts to its individual students and that combined with the motivational and friendly environments they create, make this the BEST and MOST SUCCESSFUL Education experience I've ever had! 10/10 would recommend!Cam2Koo

I never expected to learn so much before attending Asher College. The Instructors and administration are some of the greatest people I've ever met; no matter how busy they are, they will never let you feel unimportant. The instructors are knowledgeable and the administrative staff are so very helpful. I attended this school during a hard time and I felt nothing but care from all. They enjoy seeing you succeed and have an inspiring passion for teaching. THANK YOU for giving me such an enriching learning experience.Chris Agnew

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

I attended UEI last year. My program was medical billing and insurance coding. I want to thank my professor Mr. Bruce, for not giving up on, always pushed me to succeed even when I felt I was asking questions in the class when I felt no question was too small or too big because he answered all my questions. I would also like to thank Ms. Ebony who was always there from a shoulder to cry on and a great role model to look up to she was the one that gave me the push and motivation that i Needed to present my assignment to my class assignment. I would also like to thank Ms. Belinda for the great opportunity to work as a student worker after losing my job as a preschool teacher. When I first started everyone was so nice and welcoming and I was happy that I was able to eat to meet everyone. I started my program in April 2021 and my program End on January 2022 . I feel like UEI is not the same anymore because it is harder to get in contact with anyone and you will get the run around for example while on my extern at UEI my grandmother was I admitted to the hospital my only wish was for her to see my walk across the stage Even if that meant my mom recording s so my grandma can see me walk across the stage Unfortunately with graduation day changing my grandmother passed away before my graduation. I am happy that i joined uei because i was able to meet new humble outstanding down to earth people . If you do decide to join uei do not loose you’re focus and let drama distract you from your main goal get your your education and leave.Cassandra Bonner

I decided to try this school, only went a couple times and during that time they let go off my teacher and when the tablet they gave me was messing up they said they would fix it and give it back. I had asked for help on how he was gonna continue online classes they were no help. So I decided this wasn’t the school for me. I called to drop the classes and they said that would be okay. Hadn’t heard from them in months til I randomly get a text welcoming to “my first day” and it wasn’t til I received an email asking me to pay my first payment did I call them and try to ask what was going on. Get some info on why this was happening. While on the phone with them they were very unprofessional, instead of just answering my questions and moving on they made it seem like I was a burden that I wanted to see what was going on. Got transferred to another woman, she tells me something then hangs up on me. I call back and even the main desk hangs up on me. Call again and sends me to a voicemail system like how unprofessional can you guys be! You guys are supposed to be about helping and making your students succeed but when it really comes down to it. That’s all lies. If I could give this school no stars I would.Briezzy Bby

Stay away from this school….ghetto, unprofessional, and a BIG waste of time and money. GO TO CARRINGTON or a different more professional school!! Half of the staff here has quit, they are extremely unorganized, school is overpriced for the education you are given, there were fights every week in the medical assistant program as if it were a middle school or even high school. Graduation was held in a parking lot because I assume they waited to long to book a venue, certification at the end is not a real degree its a thin piece of paper and looks extremely corny to the point my employer made fun of it. Not sure where this tuition money goes but for $19,900 I would expect better certification, a real graduation ceremony, and tools such as books, computers, programs that allow you to practice medical billing etc not a $72 kindle and books that can't leave the classroom. Also keep in mind compared to Carrington and MTI who only has 150 externship hours, UEI requires 250 hours for the medical billing department. Almost $20,000 I could have saved and got a real education through a real college.Czerina B.

Cambridge Junior College truly is an amazing learning environment. Before I enrolled I had my doubts just like everyone else but after actually going in and meeting Betty the admissions at Cambridge I felt at ease. Everyone there was really dedicated to making sure I got the best experience and that I left there with everything I needed to succeed. They really believe in you and have your best interest at heart. They gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. Before attending everyone always doubted me but going to Cambridge was one of the best decisions I have ever made. If I could go back I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Its fast, the location is convenient, and its hands on. I recommend anyone that is interested in the medical field to attend Cambridge Junior College. You won't regret it!!Ashley Mercado

In the time I've been at Cambridge Junior College I've found a truly caring environment full of individuals working as a team. Cambridge is dedicated to improving the lives of their students by partnering with them every step of the way and celebrating their success with them.rachel hall

Absolutely love it here as a Medical Assistant student. The staff and my teacher are amazing. Check out their website, call or go in if you're interested in becoming a medical assistant.Shannon Bell

I am a working registered dental hygienist who graduated from Carrington College back when they were at their previous location relatively close by on San Ignacio. I can't speak for the program now since alot has probably changed in terms of administration, but our program director Sherry Heaney, department of hygiene staff, and supervising doctors were all great and provided us with excellent, rigorous education. We had a very thorough clinical and classroom education there at Carrington which allowed my graduating class to pretty much all go through the program and pass our National and regional boards for hygiene. The cost for the programs I will admit is a bit pricey as it is a private tech school, but they do have loan options. I just recently paid off my student loans after working part time for 3-4 years as a dental hygienist. Also keep in mind that the program was only about 1.5 years full-time vs the 2 years you would expect to go through from one of the renown lottery local community college programs at foothill, Diablo, etc. By all means if you are lucky enough to get into those programs go there as you will save a ton of money, but education-wise my education was on par with those schools. After we graduated I received many phone calls checking up on me to ask if I had been employed yet, so they do seem to check up on how we were doing after going through the program. If you are coming into this clinic as a patient, understand that this isn't a dental practice. Carrington makes nothing from having you come in for their essentially free treatment. They don't "prey" on people without dental insurance because Carrington receives no benefit from you coming into the department for treatment, and rather it is more of a service to you and the local community. That being said, you will be treated by STUDENTS and their only gain from you will be clinical experience. Treatment planning and the amount of time you spend in the clinic will also be ALOT longer than it would be if you were to go to a dental office. I'm talking about a few days of you coming in for appointments vs an hour at a dental office. To Nichole's review, since I can't directly respond to your review: I am unaware of how your periodontal health was before treatment but most likely you had gum disease. If you are having gum recession after treatment that you didn't expect, then I am afraid maybe you didn't have enough patient education. That is something that just happens if you have gum disease and receive treatment for it. Your gums recede because they are swollen initially and you already have bone loss around your teeth. Once they firm up they will naturally recede to match your bone levels. As a practitioner it triggers me when the patient blames the doctor or staff for the patient's own negligence even though as practitioners we have the heart to basically do charity work for them. It is sad that you feel entitled to free treatment and then blame your healthcare provider. Just my two cents here.Unsullied Roarrior

Hi my name is Jessylynn I am from Philippines, migrated here USA 2009, I know in myself that my passion in Dentistry will stop but by year 2016 I met former student of Carrington College, she’s working a Dental Hygienists now. Thanks to her because she encourage me to go to go back to school and try to inquire. The staffs in Carrington College are friendly even the janitor and security guard and front desk. I remember the first day doing my inquiring in this school, I met Troy he was my enrollment advisor! He’s so nice, funny and cool! I like him! I like how he help me and my friend to get this in the program. He extends his arm to help you for what you need to get in the program and take note I don’t have money, nor credit score or anything financial. It’s true that the private school is so PRICEY! I can’t blame or complain about it because it’s private school and you’ll graduate in 1.5 years not including pre req. Troy explained everything about it, how you’ll pay and how much you’ll pay. Honestly, I didn’t know what I’m doing but with the help of Carrington College staff I would say I owe them from what I became now because they helping me to make my dream come true even you don’t have money for now, it’s like get your degree and pay later! I am now in Term 2 in Dental Hygienist Program! Carrington College of Dental Hygiene Program Department’s environment is peaceful. The faculty are very friendly. This the place where you can learn many things. I honestly can say, their way of teaching is not intimidating, they work harder just to make sure their student doing a good job especially in the clinic, your practice skills (oh, a lot of COMPETENCY, which is to test your skills, if you failed then they’ll teach you until you get it) and lecture. I love how they focus on your hand skills, your ergonomic (protecting your back, I don’t even know that!) BASIC is life! They teach you not only to learn how to treat patient but they care also for you to love the job so you’ll not injure your overall health! Mrs. Clark is the one who welcomed us in this Program, she’s so gentle when she talk and I love her teaching in Radiology subject and not only her you’ll love. All the DH department staff are friendly and funny that what’s make me go to school everyday and excited to LEARN. They’re all knowledgeable, professional, and they will not stop failing you until you get the PERFECT skills, they’re not judgmental they’re always asking “DO YOU HAVE QUESTION?”. One of our Instructor said “MISTAKE IS A OPPORTUNITY”. I realized being perfection is not what make you GREAT! I don’t wanna brag everything but their teaching reached my beyond expectation. I can’t wait to finish my Program and start to work!Jesselyn Berganio

This particular location has some very wicked women working in positions they’re obviously not qualified to work in. If you’re a woman of African descent, they work so hard to keep you down and out of the programs, if the salary will start at a healthy rate. Yet they’re pretty rude and condescending to EVERYONE! They try to intimidate the students for having questions. They’re very unsupportive and unprofessional. They will gang up on you, knit pick with you, hold unnecessary bully like meetings with you, etc. these women can’t handle the responsibility that their position Carrie’s . They’re old as Medusa and have the audacity to mock an older student. It’s a shame that after all that women have been through overtime , these women believe that it’s their job to try and hold another woman back. I had a heart issue due to a medication I had taken while I was a student there. I was admitted into the hospital, and still managed to attend my class the following day from my hospital bed. These women verbally attacked me in private the first day I returned to campus. I was still weak from being ill, which caused me not to be able to properly defend myself. Fortunately, I was able to record the second attack—all because I inquired about what the protocols would be in the event that students became ill with covid. They wanted to meet with me again privately, the meeting took approximately 1 hour, yet my question was never answered. Instead they brought up all kinds of other silly things, while gazing at me like I was an experiment. There’s a lot more I have to say about this campus and it’s Surgical Technology Director, Lab instructor, and the Director of Student Services. They behaved like pure monkey’s.Tara Newton-Bailey

Please just go to a community college. These people just want your money. I went in to talk to Yolanda about any existing debt i had with them and she gave me the run around for over an hour and a half saying she was at the bank. Instead of speaking with me directly she just had the secretary tell me she’d be back soon. It wasn’t until someone higher up noticed me waiting and he reffeded me to the financing office. Yet on the other hand all the new potential student were seen immediately and the first thing they had them do was go see if the qualify for financing. That alone shows that they’re only in it for the money and once you get the loan they’re couldn’t care less for you. When i went here they promised to have tutors and great teachers. I ended up with a teach who after 3 months stop showing up. And during his time there he would just have us read our books alone and he would give us the test answers before we took the test. When i would ask for a tutor the people in the office would always tell me they didnt have anyone available. I wasted over 10 grand with this school for nothing.Joel Pine

I oroginally started college in antelope valley area. Where i spent time at avc and lancaster beauty college but I did not graduate And then I started attending Southwest college Where I stopped college again. Then in 2004 I got pregnant and restarted college at Bryman college in West Los angeles ca. But now there closed down and then I started looking to further my education even more so I went to american career colleges. and I started criminal justice at uei twice once in south gate and once in riverside ca but when I checked in this last time I was willing and ready to graduate from uei college I made the time for school even when I was on my busiest days even at while working on the job now im I have three weeks left for college when Im thinking im going to finish college and go to my extern site. It wasnt even happening because all the kids I have. And Im going to another school after this college. Im moving to hollywood after this. And when obstacles comes in my way I avoid them.takieda posey

I just completed my 1st class day. I was impressed with the staff. My instructor seems to be very knowledgeable, and patient. I am an older student with some special mobility needs. They have been very accommodating thus far. I'm looking forward to getting into the course, it seems challenging. They do offer a variety of class schedules to accommodate most anyone's needs. I chose evenings because I'm a night person, but most choose evenings because of work hours. This is the third vocational college I've attended. So far UEI has exhibited more caring and professionalism than the others. The previous Vocational College I attended I was taken back by how the Admissions Director treated students, including myself. I did have a sit down with her eventually. Reminding her that I wasn't a 19 student fresh from high school. I was, and am, a 17 yr. Disabled Veteran. So far UEI has been respectful of my age and special needs. I would recommend UEI to anyone serious about thier education.Paul Patterson

I'll give 3 stars for the overall hands-on exam experience. I won't recommend the RQI to everyone. Maybe it is better to get the instructor lead course. RQI (Resuscitation Quality Improvement) tests your skills with a VAM (Voice Assisted Manikin). I'm 5'8'' and this was a horrendous experience. I could not raise the bed to perfume the CPR or I at least I did not see any instruction on how to do so. In relation to the table, I was either too tall or too short. Even the stool was doing little to assist. During the rescue breathing it became more difficult. The space is too tiny, or the setup was put up incorrectly. The adult manikin's head was pointing toward the cabinet. While crouched to provide rescue breathing, I could barely function between the bed and the cabinet. I strongly advise them to relocate the table to the center of the room rather than the corner. By the way, it was difficult to comprehend and follow the audio instructions. And I suppose that's why so many people fail the test 4-5 times before passing it, because with that kind of teaching, you're just stunned right there. Seriously, how could I get out of that cramped space into CPR position in less than 5 seconds unless I threw the mask on the floor on my way to the table? If I did, the next time I had to perform rescue breathing, I'd have to hunt for the mask on the floor first, which would take longer than 5 seconds!Ramsey Alizadeh

I took CPR/BLS training today for the first time ever and the instructor, Wendy Simmons, was very informative and humorous. She gave a lot of great tips and tricks that are easy to remember and my classmates were helpful as well. Also, the class environment followed COVID safety guidelines and felt safe. It didn't take very long to receive the certification – I received it on the same day I took the class. I like that they send text reminders about when your training is and how easy it is to navigate their website for information. I will be coming back to renew my certification in 2 years. Thank you!April Rubio

The instructor is experienced and efficient. The instructor was clear in her communication and was very supportive and gave good instructions in proper method and depth in performing the CPR. Overall, i would recommend this company in providing BLS certifications, whether for first time, for certification renewal, with group or individual learning, or for personal reasons, a grear place to earn your American Heart Association BLS certification.Gerald Garcia

I want to say good morning to the UEI Families. Today I am here to enroll to further my education. I think its amazing that we have young adults willing to further there education to better there selfs as Productive citizens in our community. This something that we need to appreciate and give thanks for. Taking investments in our youth could be a little scary, but with the proper program's and the ones that help and willing to take pride in there jobs to help our children become young respectful, trustworthy, fathers, Daughters, Husband's, Wife's, thats what we need in this world today. So I appreciate those that take pride in there jobs. Don't >o O⁰think for a minute that your hard work is not noticed. We will have times to where days are harder than others but great work keep it upJoseph sapien

This Facility is horrible! They rush all the Modules. They Do not take good care of their Teachers/Instructors & the DOE lacks respect & professionalism. I taught at this college for 2 years, DA Program & it was so disappointing to see the structure & well being for everyone. Not a lot of support for all the Teachers either. Disappointing. They can do much better. Supplies & Models are old. They need to upgrade. Some of the Administrators & Teachers here are horrible too. Bad attitude & snotty.. Sad!Bebe Cimmarrusti

I love the vibe here. Chill instructors and staff, and it is very clean. Marc, who contacted me when I needed more information, helped me out with a lot of information I needed and let me know what I would be expecting before I started school. Currently, I am taking the MOS a.m. class with Mrs. K, but I was nervous coming back to school after a very long time, but I'm glad I chose UEI.Kim Aguigui

Morgan is simply one of the most talented people I know! From makeup, to skincare, to hair, Morgan has you covered and will make you feel the best version of yourself not only on your wedding day but every day. I first met her with the intent of just using her bridal makeup services, but after participating in her Bridal Skin Bootcamp for a whole year, I am addicted to her facials and will be working with her far beyond my wedding. 🙂 Services:   Hairstyling ,  DermaplaningWhitney Cary

Morgan has been dermaplaning and providing facials for me for over a year. She always takes the highest of care and only uses the most up to date techniques and equipment. I am always intrigued by the tools that she uses that leaves my face glowing. Her studio is always so clean and beautiful. She uses amazing products that leave my face feeling healthy. Can't recommend her enough. Be sure to book, you will not be disappointed. Services:   Eyebrows ,  DermaplaningE. Bennett

Having Morgan do my bridal makeup was one of the BEST decisions I made for my wedding! I don't normally wear much make up and honestly had no idea what I wanted, but Morgan somehow knew exactly what to do! My entire wedding party looked stunning and I felt so confident all night. I would also 1000% recommend the morning bridal facial massage…I was super calm the entire day and I attribute it to that 😊 Services:   Bridal makeup ,  Facial massageKim Conway

For 17 years I’ve received excellent care and service. Yesterday was no exception. My husband and I enjoyed meeting the staff- some new some we had not met and everyone was top notch! Helpful and comprehensive care with patience and education about the status of our eyes health. I’ve seen 3 of the 4 doctors over the years and I am always glad I drove to Sacramento (4 hours away) for the extra mile practice they have. Finding frames was also a treat! The staff in their store is so proficient and make it easy and fun!Christine Gale Reynolds

Went in for a new glasses prescription, but turns out I have some issues that need to be dealt with first. The doctors and technicians really worked as a team to make sure I got well taken care of and had everything I needed. They were kind, thorough, and careful. I have had some negative experiences at eye doctors in the past (elsewhere), where I was treated in a condescending, rude way. I'm so glad to have found Schermer and had the opposite experience here.Sarah Gerber

I called the office yesterday and was pleasantly surprised when I asked to schedule a New patient eye exam and they were able to schedule me the next day with Dr Patel who was very professional and kind. He answered my questions and addressed my concerns that I was having, the technician that worked me up was also very sweet. I will definitely be back for my yearly examsSerina

This is my second time researching out to UNITEK about their LPN and RN program. … And I still have not heard anything back. Called around 8ish and left a message for Karli Samuel, apparently she called and i did not answer, which is funny because I've been waiting for UNITEK to call me since last week about my request for more info and not 1 phone call. Carrington here I come. I was referred by a friend..what a pointless referral if they don't reach out to you! The front office girl was too happy but all to ready and quick to rush me off the phone instead of actually helping me!Disappointed Horrible Services

I recently graduated from Unitek College. I would recommend Unitek College, because they have very knowledgeable instructors including career services and other staff members. I received clear guidelines through out my entire course. They care about their student’s success and support them as much as needed. I had hardship at the end of my course with my schedule. They were very happy to accommodate my need in just one business day. I appreciate all your teamwork Unitek members. I can not think of better school then Unitek.Ino khas

Thank you Unitek team and everyone that was involved in my education and journey through out my Nursing school . I want to give Special thanks to Professor Baab for bringing out and shaping to the Nurse I am today you’re an Amazing Professor . Also special thanks to Naveed He’s the backbone of this company and always was there to answer any of my questions. Last person Kellie, she’s amazing and always willing to help anyone who needs jobs referral or resume input. Thank you All Anaana Davila

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

I am writing this review as a new grad from the LVN program at Unitek's Hayward Campus. I chose Unitek as the location to take on my nursing education after attempting to go through the community college route. The CC route can be long and dragged out as many of the science course are impacted. I knew I wanted to be nurse and Unitek was my express ride to that goal. Classes were very informative and every class was directed to nursing concepts and skills. This kept me engaged throughout the whole program because the goal of being a nurse felt more tangible because I could directly see how what I was learning would be applied once I finished. My theory instructor Mr. X was PHENOMENAL. He created an environment that was conducive to the success of his students. His lectures were not only interesting but his passion and knowledge was more than evident. In short, he wanted us to be successful, knowledgable and confident nurses. My skills and clinical instructor Mr. Singh and Ms. Lisa were incredibly smart and resourceful. Mr. Singh taught clinicals as if we were hired nurses and wanted to be sure we understood how to do things as well as WHY which I think was priceless. He also taught us about the real scenarios that could potentially happen in the real world as nurses that you would not necessarily find within a textbook. The LVN program all in all was a rigorous program however the school provides resources to each of us as students that would help us be successful. My recommendation to any prospective student is to build a rapport with the people around you including your classmates (i.e. create study buddies and study groups) to help you and use your resources (ATI and ATI textbooks.) I graduated June 30th, 2022. I passed my nclex-pn in 75 questions on July 26th 2022. Unitek works!Sherelle Davis

The whole staff, admissions, financial department, and student services(Leslie) was amazing and very helpful in helping me navigate throughout the process of getting into the Unitek Program as well as achieving completion. Yes it get's harder as you go but always listen to the professors who will ensure that you are learning as much of the material that you should be learning to be successful and hopefully pass the NCLEX-PN. Taking this program is all about discipline and just like at work and school you will feel pressured throughout because of deadlines, but learning to organize, prioritization, and finding your learning style and adjusting to where you can both feel focused and prepared both mentally and physically for tests and all other course content is very important to be successful in this program.

I went to Unitek to get my LVN license and finished a little over a year ago. There might be hiccups here and there, but the teachers at Unitek really make it a great program. Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Heidi, Mrs. Woodard and Mrs. Brown are some of the best teachers I’ve ever had. They’re always there to help you with any questions you have and they go the extra mile to ensure you have all the tools you need to succeed. They will sacrifice their personal time after work hours to help their students. I just started my BSN program and I remember so much of what I learned at Unitek because of these teachers. The school itself might not be perfect, but I couldn’t have asked for a better education.Jake Peterson

The staff at Diamond house detox and rehabilitation are amazing!! They make the whole process of detoxing and preparing you for a successful life of sobriety as smooth as it could be. The facilities are wonderful and having your own private room makes the process as comfortable as it can be, in a not so pleasant situation. I’m so grateful to have gone there and for all the great staff, from the Counselors, the Nurses, the Dr.’s they have the Director and the Founder not to mention the personal Chefs that provide clean and great food services to each client depending on their needs. The care and compassion that they provide to each client 24 hours a day goes above comparison. I could go on and on about how wonderful everything was. If you are in need of the services they provide I highly recommend them, you won’t regret it! Thank you Diamond house staff, I appreciate you all more than can ever be expressed.Terry Peterson

Diamond House is an amazing facility. Their program was different to any other that I’ve been to or heard of. The staff made (and still makes) me feel special and loved. Days have a healthy schedule including group therapy, individual therapy, an hour of gym time, and in-house and outside meetings. The six client house has huge rooms with private bathroom and 65 inch TVs. I didn’t want to leave! The owner, Vicky runs a professional and loving atmosphere. The counselors and mental health technicians are top notch. I really do mean it when I say they saved my life. If you or a loved one need help with addiction go to Diamond House. I have been to treatment centers that were money hungry and this is not one of those places!Christina Barnett

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!! I came to Diamond house for 30 days and it was the best experience of my life. The groups they do are really on point and teach you alot. They care about each one of their clients, they treat you like family and are there to listen and support you. Lisa really is the best therapist around and she is really easy to talk to and doesn't judge you. Vicki the own has done such a great job at finding the best staff she could and you can tell she loves what she does. Chrissy the cheif makes 5 star meals for each meal and really takes her time to talk to the clients about what they like to eat. I highly recommend Diamond house and I will be staying in touch with them!Mace

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

Always great every time I go! I know I gave it a perfect score several tines in the past, so how can I indicate they have improved on perfection? They have learned the secret of continuous betterment! From the time you arrive, until the time you leave , everything just seems to flow smoothly . No rush, no pressure, no drama and no confusion; wonderful management, efficient and organized. The very best part is every staff person is attentive, compassionate, patient, friendly, and not only are they focused on you, they also make you feel as if they actually have the time of day for you. So, the bottom line is: Be assured that for whatever reason you are there, this is one piece of your medical journey that you do not have to dread! God bless everyone who reads this!Donna Parisien

The only problem with this place is the wait time when you have to go in for x-rays I wish that they would allow you to make an appointment when you have to do X-rays. Other than that the staff is so amazing and so helpful and when I was taken back for my x-rays the lady that did my x-rays was so amazing and very kind and was always making sure that I was comfortable. And for that is the reason that I am giving this place a 5-star review because customer service goes so far that sometimes the wait is worth itTianna Borges

Waiting room was completely full with standing room only. Luckily, I had an appointment so my wait wasn’t bad (about 15 minutes). The front desk staff were very busy but cordial and clearly doing their best. And the woman who helped me with my diagnostic tests was kind, communicative, and played calm/happy music to ease my anxiety! Good experience overall (considering the state of our impacted healthcare system).Victoria Williams
