20 Best Medical Assistant Programs In Tampa, FL (2022 Updated)

Southeastern College offers the best Medical assistant program with the greatest professors, one of which to whom I am forever grateful. Dr. Brian Dickens is a wonderfully influential person who always leaves students ready to enter their career. He has helped open doors and provided me with the skills that allowed me to continue my education in the medical field. His friendly yet professional teaching style made the class very interesting and fun for all the students, not to mention he has a great since of humor that always gave us a smile in the classroom. The motivation that drives him to master a topic was channeled into building his students' interest and helping them understand the material. Overall, the experiences that Dr. Dickens motivated me to pursue, along with the skills he taught me in and out of the classroom, have now helped me to obtain my dream. Currently, I am proudly admitted in the Doctoral of Chiropractic program.Merna Shenouda

I have read so many of these reviews and they compelled me to write one of my own. I was a student at SEC in 2016, where I pursued my career in Medical Assistant. My teacher was Mr Brian Dickens. Of a fact, Mr Dickens is one of the best teachers I ever had. He goes above and beyond to ensure that his students grasp what is being thought and he's willing and ready to share his knowledge and experiences. He makes his class fun and something to look forward to each day. Even after graduation he still sends us articles on how to be a good MA. He ensures that we are equipped for the job ahead. Because of this, I got a job immediately after my internship. I am still at that job..Way to to Mr D. Also, the faculty staff at SEC is the best. They are very helpful and make themselves available to assist in any area. I love SEC. If and when I decide to further my education in the medical field, South Eastern College, here I come.Veannie Miller

So I started online in September of 2018, and transferred to campus classes in September 2019. I absolutely LOVE the small class size, and staff for the most part is awesome. Mr. Brian Dickens is a PHENOMENAL instructor, and it is obvious that he cares about his students. He takes the time needed to make sure that you understand the materials, and consistently stays active in everything that we are doing, including allowing us to practice on him to make sure our techniques are appropriate. I would recommend this school to anyone who appreciates smaller class sizes and teachers that care. There is definitely a sense of family within the classes, and it's awesome to have the same teacher throughout my time on campus. Anyone looking to get into healthcare should definitely check out Southeastern!!!Joanne Evans

I have had the misfortune of hiring now 9 girls from UT on a rotating schedule( when they have availability). I know a total of 12 girls that have either recently graduated, are in nursing programs, or 2 that are currently in masters programs, the 9 that worked/Ing for me are either recent grads, in their masters program, or a rising senior… So… now of these girls, even though they are nice have any queslificariona to work.. 6 out 9 which 3 of those 6 are or were in honors programs. Have no clue what they are going to do after school. Most complained about the treatment and the overall vibe of the campus. The 4 out of 12 girls that I know are graduated and with a Bachelors degree in Nursing or teaching can’t even find a job and are working in low level paying jobs… practically a step up from min. Wage. This university does not produce graduates that have a impact on the world. The quality of person who is going here 8 out of 10 is not the person you want working for you… This is a school for people who are good test takers but not ready or prepared to be in the real world at all… Go to bigger school that’s not private – private universities answer to know one which is not so good.. especially when it comes to the quality of graduates they are producing and putting out into the world. Which seems subpar at best. Save yourself the hassle, go to a public university. Like USF is bigger, better diversity, better teachers, bigger endowment, better statics with the type of person they produce back into the working world. Location is nice because it’s downtown but just remember not everything that glitters is gold…adoliop

Search history- During its operating period from 1891 to 1930, the hotel housed thousands of guests, including hundreds of celebrities. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Plant convinced the United States military to use his hotel as a base of operations. Generals and high-ranking officers stayed in its rooms to plan invasion strategies, while enlisted men encamped on the hotel's acreage. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also were at the hotel during this time. Roosevelt retained a suite, and during the day led his men in battle exercises on the property. The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression severely curtailed tourism. It remained empty and unused for three years. In late 1933, the Tampa Bay Junior College was allowed to move into the hotel, using the old suites as classrooms and offices. Because of the large amount of space afforded by the hotel, the scope of the junior college was expanded, becoming the University of Tampa. The Tampa Municipal Museum was established by the city to preserve the hotel in its original form and co-exist with the newly established University. Today, besides serving as offices and classrooms for the University of Tampa, the entire south wing of the building is dedicated to preserving the glory days of the old Tampa Bay Hotel. Various rooms in the wing display authentic artifacts from the old hotel, many of which were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Plant themselves on various European shopping trips. (Wikipedia)George Ortiz

Beautiful school in a great location, however, if you're looking for a good school with good academics DO NOT COME HERE. The nice look of the school and large dorm rooms is about all it has to offer. As a freshman I went through three advisors in one year without any notification of having mine switched, and I also told my current advisor that I am transferring several times; but I keep receiving emails from them telling me I still have to register for next semester. The advisors here are not really that helpful at all. When you contact any facilities they either take weeks to respond, or do not respond at all. The grading scale is also very odd, so take a look at that as well. My first semester I had all A's and one AB and that brought my GPA down to a 3.8, when in most colleges an A- will bring your GPA down to around 3.9. The wifi is almost nonexistent unless you're using a computer in the library. Please do not invest your money here and go to a more accredited and student friendly college, so you do not have to waste time and stress looking to transfer out of here like many freshman do.Morgan Lowe

I am a current student here. Next month I will be going on my extern. Honestly, this school was not what I expected due to the fact that I went to another MA school years prior to enrollment here. I want to say that Ms. Henson is by far the best knowledgeable MA teacher at the school. I learned a few things that I did not already know. The only thing I would say that I did not like about this school is how the curriculum is set up. First module, which is 4 weeks, you take certifications like CPR, HIPPA OSHA. Then you take 9 modules which is blended with other students. From there until you complete it's 2 hours lecture and 2 hours lab broken down into categories such as cardiology, geriatrics, pediatrics etc. In lab you do the skils pertaining to that subject. Most of the time it's in lab you don't have time to practice to be comfortable doing it on your own. I feel the other school was easier because the first 3 months I learned the body systems and CPR, OSHA, HIPPA and we got quizzes on what we learned. The last 6 months was lab. This gave us plenty of time to practice skills and be comfortable doing them. At Altierus, there is no quiz except the weekly homework that most of the time you cannot find answers in the book and the teacher never discussed it. So I end up wasting time on a timed quiz looking for the answer.And 2 hours of lab does give a lot of time practicing skills. I got all A's in each module. I think that's because I already work in the medical field and I went to another school as well. Do I think I would have learned anything here? Not as much. I think the curriculum really needs be revised only because it's a lot of information and 4 hours is not enough.Tacara Brown

This university scammed me out of 10,000$, I was never even able to receive a mecical license because of past criminal history. They charged me for a background check before I began my program and postponed starting my classes for clearance. I asked several guidance counselors and instructors when I received a substantial amount of money back from a grant I was applicable for. If I should begin the expungememt so it would be completed before I graduated. Everyone said not to worry and to invest in my new career. If they can take advantage of you they will. Update 11/09/2018 In response to the review above from the school. A defensive tone asking me to contact a 1-800 call center for help, making many claims at their irresponsibility stating that they are not an employer and are in fact an educational institution. It also mentions that they fully inform students at the difficulty of being hired by an employer with a record. As an educational institution it is required to understand the laws correlative to programs you offer towards state licensure. It is illegal to trade massage for money without a state license. Is that the difficulty you refer to graduates? I passed my state licencing exam, yet still have no licence. I am on my way, no thanks at all to practicing illegally as implied by this institution.David Durant

I’m glad I choose Altierus career college to obtain my dental assistant diploma. The staff were very supportive even tho my first language is not English. Ms Barnaby is a excellent teacher she has a lot of experience as a dental assistant she will give you some tips so you can work better assisting a dentist. I learn a lot from her and believe me every tips she’ll show you will help you a lot in your career to be better at your work. They have a lot of hands training which you really need so you get used to how offices perform out there. I graduated at the end of 2019 first job, is where I learn more about assisting amazing doctor but the pay was very low, but I get it I just graduated so I let it pass now I moved from Florida to NY and my EFDA is still acceptable dentist didn’t have a problem with that. All you need is to learn how to do your job and then you can ask for your price how value you think you are for the company. I learn a lot in this college and I’m so grateful for Ms. Barnaby for all her tips and help. Now I only have two years experience and I’m one of the highest pay on my area. Thanks to Altierus career college.Meybelin Pineda

I have nothing but great things to say about this college! From my very first interaction over the phone with Amy DiMartino, where I had expressed to her my concerns and dissatisfaction with a previous nursing school that I attended in Tampa. Amy, was very understanding, professional and addressed all of my concerns. She was quick with setting up an interview with me at the school and she was a great asset in my academic endeavor at Arizona college of nursing! With Amy’s help and the rest of the staff at AZC I was able to transfer 30+ credits, take 7 GED courses and progress into the Nursing Core program in just 6 months! These past few months at AZC have been the most influential and educational months of my life. It is a fast paced and challenging program, with only 8 week semesters! But trust me, you will learn so much in such little time and will be so happy you did it! I am so proud of myself and feel very accomplished at this college. Everyone at AZC are super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable! There is so much you will learn at this school! The instructors and professors go out of their way for their students here, making sure we are all understanding and grasping the material! Transferring to AZC has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my education and future nursing career! Thank you for being here AZC!Kayla Angelica Urena

I did a lot of research before checking out AZC for the first time. I had a lot of bad experiences with other schools and the constant going in circles to get into the programs I was looking for. The very first person I spoke with was Madison and she was absolutely amazing she listened to what I wanted to accomplish and where I wanted to go with my career. She also understood that I’m a full-time working single mom and had other priorities. She was very patient, knowledgeable and transparent with me and gave me every little detail along the way through the admission process. I just started my first session at AZC and so far I couldn’t be happier I’m so glad I finally made the decision to pursue a career in what I’m passionate about and I’m confident with the amazing administration and staff at AZC that I’m going to accomplish everything I’ve set out to do.Jacqueline Acevedo

In July I made a spontaneous decision to go to nursing school after giving up on it. I toured a lot of schools but none stood out Until, I came to azc. I was greeted with smiling faces. I met with Amy, and she was so sweet and accommodating of me and my family who came in for support. Every step of the way, Amy was there holding my hand and I have grown so fond of the family like environment here at azc. Amy has encouraged and motivated me the entire process . I’m only in my second week of class but I know from now that I am exactly where I need to be . Every one here is incredibly resourceful and I couldn’t asked for better! Thank you AZCJay Diaz

I had to make sure I was reading the comments from the correct school. This school is an absolute joke. DO NOT GO HERE! I feel as if the people that are reviewing the school have attended the school for about a month and they still have high hopes. Don't. Lol. We paid over $10,000 to take OPEN BOOK QUIZZES for the first 8 months. The school was not at all challenging I feel as if I cheated my whole way through the course. Yes, I did read. I still study with the books that I have today. Save your money and just take some online courses or find free courses. We changed instructors very often so the teaching style and tempos were very off. If I could go back, I would not at all go here. To put the icing on the cake, they tried to take credit for ME obtaining a job that they did not help me secure. I applied through Indeed, landed a job, and received a call a while later informing of something along the lines of "accreditation" and "Did FCC help me land the job" lol NO. It was not because of my experience with the school either. I had prior work experience. I could go on and on. Just don't go here. Go to HCC if you really want to go to school. I am only giving two stars because I created good memories there… with a man that I met while in class and now we gave a family. 😊 Now that my rant is done. The school has great potential. Better/permanent instructors are NEEDED/WANTED. Life isn't full of open book tests.Tam Tam

I didn’t want to write this review because the the staff was great to me but what happened to be here was very discouraging. But definitely read the reviews and don’t rush into places.. I started the Medical Assisting program My instructor Mrs.Bowling was amazing. Lisa with administration was amazing and Miss.T in financial aid was also amazing. Tho I took my tests which made me eligible for my classes after a few weeks in the program and all the progress I’ve made they give me a call one morning letting me know my test scores are lost or were uploaded wrong on they’re part and I’m not able to come back to school until I retake the test because there was nothing they could do about it and on top of that I would have to restart my WHOLE ENTIRE course and wait for they’re new program to start so I would come in as a new student. It’s very discouraging and disappointing after I’ve pushed myself to finally go back to school and find a career and it all being “crushed” because of the schools mistake that no one would take responsibility for as I was told. I’m not an employee there and I would be PAYING THEM and RESTARTING everything to fix THEY'RE mistake. My feelings were completely HURT as I had to fix THEY’RE mistake which I refused to and just withdrew from the school. So again. Take your time and READ reviews.Cameron Gonzalez

I went here for the EFDA program. It was one of the best experiences I've had. The instructors for the program are truly amazing and the best. Mr.B will sit with you untill you truly understand and grasp what he is teaching you, Mrs.Dee is very patient and one of the most kind people you will meet. Miss.V, I think had the most impact on me, this instructor… It's almost hard to put into words just how amazing she is. She saw the potential in me that I never knew I had. I don't understand some of these bad reviews…. Even if I had a issue that my instructors couldn't help me with Miss.Laura would sit and help untill it was solved and Mr.Jim would do the same. I'm in and almost done with my externship now and Mr.Mike who helped me get to my extern office will help you every step of the way. I learned so much in my time at FCC not just about dental but about myself too. I've not only gone on interviews but, I've had a a ton of dental offices reach out to me and want to hire me as well. I plan on being one of the best EFDA's in my field and that is all due to the one's who taught me.Jessica Lavelle

Went in for a cut. The student assigned to me made a comment to the receptionist not to give her any more cuts. I showed her a picture of what I had in mind and asked her professional opinion. We decided on a v cut, keeping the length and a cute bang. Her words were very specifically that she was cutting it to my mid- back. Apparently, I don't know where my mid-back is since she cut it to just barely below my shoulders. The bangs are crooked and 2 other students had to guide her on how to cut them and the student cutting my hair said she wasn't "in the mood to do a cut". I didn't see a teacher at all, in spite of several signs stating that students are supervised – clearly not! While I don't like my cut, I'm not mad – it will grow. I'm not even upset with the student….she's a student without guidance! If this is the level of the school…..RUN!!!! Students deserve a REAL education! I feel bad for the students I saw. They are spending a lot of money to learn. They should have saved the money and just taught themselves on YouTube.Michelle Battle

Conditions of the women’s bathroom on a Monday before students arrive.🤢🤮 mind you no one comes in on sundays so it was probably left this way for a while Not only does this school Clearly not care about cleanliness During the time of COVID but it does not care to cater to students several times we are out of items and they do nothing about it. Some of the staff have even displayed prejudice behavior against black/brown students. I could go on and on but please do not attend this school!!! Find somewhere better for your own good and success!Alexis

I had a manicure and a spa pedicure with Carina and it was lovely! I rarely treat myself to beauty care and Carina made sure to make my experience delightful. She was friendly, professional, very concerned with my satisfaction, and even redid the polish on my nails when the product was being uncooperative. I’m going to try and catch her again before ease graduates at the end of March, and you should too!K Wyman

Cell Staff has been heaven sent. I am new to Cell Staff, but it is so refreshing to work for a company that one not only pays you what you deserve but also values you as an employee especially during thrse trying times. My recruiter Grace is the best no one tops her!!!! She is efficient and goes above and beyond the call of duty. She got me an interview the day after is submitted all of my documents and I was working within 10 days of my first encounter with her. Grace explained everything and I am even getting compensated weekly for my travel. I came home and received a welcome package with assorted goodies inside that was so thoughtful. Thank you Cell Staff and Grace. What a wonderful company !!!!Karen Baker

I recently received an assignment with Cell Staff. The process was super easy and my recruiter, Nikki Steele, was beyond great. She was readily available for any questions or concerns I had and assisted me with grace and professionalism. She made such an impression on me that I have told those in my profession to contact her at Cell Staff if they are looking for employment. Thank you Nikki! Cell Staff has a great asset with you on board and I hope you get all your well deserved recognition. I am super excited about my career with Cell Staff. If you're reading this review this is your sign to come aboard and if possible contact Nikki Steele as your recruiter, you will not be disappointed.Latasha Staton

I am currently employed by this company as a travel nurse in NC. Carson was the absolute quickest person to respond to me about every question, concern and regard I’ve had since becoming interested in Cell Staff as a company. He has been friendly, knowledgeable and therapeutic throughout the last 11 months of working with me. He aided in my decision making and made the onboarding process quick and easy. I frequently recommend him and share his contact information when I encounter a peer who is interested in travel nursing. He is a great recruiter and travel nurse manager. I would recommend him as a recruiter as well as this company for travel nursing.Shannon Arnette

I cannot imagine having better service than what I received from Lori and Veritas Nursing Academy. I completed the remedial course, theory and clinical, online. I reactivated my RN license after decades of being out of nursing. I was determined but nervous and didn't know what to expect. Lori put me at ease right away and was full of encouragement. She really cared about me and my success. Lori was always available when I had questions and concerns. She took a lot of the stress away. The course was well planned, comprehensive, and extremely well adapted to online learning and evaluation. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment upon completion. Thank you, Lori for doing what you are doing. You and the Academy are a real asset to the Nursing profession.Carol Koogler

I had been searching for answers to how to reenter the nursing field as it had been years since I last worked as a nurse. I became frustrated and was even advised to return to school and take the nursing program again. I finally checked the board of nursing and found a few web sites listed on their page for a remedial program I contacted several programs and found Dr. Lori Barnes out of Tampa, she has a great personality and was always willing to answer any questions I had.The classroom had a wonderful and knowledgeable instructor for in person classes. It was well worth the money and I left feeling able to meet the challenges of returning to the world of nurses. I would refer anybody to this school without hesitation.Janet Bustamante

I took a fast CNA test prep course with Dr. Lori. I passed my exam just the first time I tried and got a wonderful feedback about my performance. The material she taught me was extremely useful and meaningful for the test, and just the live as a future CNA, RN and NP. This course motivated me to keep going further with my career. I never write reviews on google, but the reason why I am writing this one is because if you the reader, see this, know that this is the right place to go! I am genuinely telling you! Do not miss this opportunity!!!Andres Leyva Vera

In 2015, I began my journey as a new single mother to a sick little infant. I was going through a divorce, trying to understand what could possibly be wrong with my angel and trying to go to school full time in a new career field. From day one my guidance counselor, Mark Parker was my cheerleader. As a father himself he understood why I was so scared of the unknown regarding my little girl. Classes started and Amy Mercer helped me with all the didactic portions and insured I never said I can’t. Nichole Lambert was and still is the director of the ST program. Many times I thought I would never make it and they all assured me I not only could but would do great. Well then I went into clinicals and met Lucy Alvarado. She pushed me to be the best me and all together with the support of all of Concorde I not only am a CST, but I have surpassed that. I became a First Assistant then graduated with a BPH and now an MPH! A masters degree!!! And I could not imagined I would ever be where I am today without them! One team one fight! Thank you Concorde.Cortney Swanson

I am a ST student at concorde since February of 2020, I love the program, the students and the teachers really try to help you if you are lost or behind. During the covid-19 pandemic the teachers did not hault the program but they instead had us do our campus classes online and we meet up on 'Teams'(or zoom sometimes) 2x a week to go over our class work and go over our PowerPoint. I love how flexible we all are. We still have lab 1-2x a week and sometime split up people to minimize the amount of people in labor. If we email our ST teachers they get back with me within a short amount of time. I'm excited to graduate May of 2021😊Rose Hopper

I am a 1995 Concorde career institute graduate valedictorian of his class I am a certified medical assistant retired now. I went back to college when I was 35 years old and did this so any of you younger guys or girls you can do this. I never had a problem getting a job. Is a matter of fact they are very competitive and at this time there's a ton of them out there certified medical assistant is a very rewarding career. Concord clear institute is an excellent place to learn and get an advanced education. Go for it man I did!Dale Doe

Course Instructor: John McCardle is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and engaging with the students. He made the course interesting and I looked forward to every iteration of the course. He offered and delivered assistance outside of class time via email for me, so I have no doubt that he is dedicated to the education of others that have the desire to learn. Course materials: The official course textbook and videos are thoroughly put together and provide the tools needed to be successful in the course and undoubtedly for the exam. Course length: 2 weeks is enough time to gain a decent grasp on much of the material, and a realistic time frame business-wise. There are so many aspects of the course material that weren't covered, but that could very well be due to those components not being included in the official curriculum. I also want to sincerely thank the ATA management for allowing the additional 2 days, which allowed us to cover all of the course material. It was greatly appreciated. The coordinating staff made the entire experience very smooth and easy to join the course online. A great experience for those serious about advancing or even starting a professional IT/cyber career!Ravi Mathias

As an Aircraft Maintainer of 17 years, having little to no IT background, I was prepared to take Security + 2-3 times before passing after all of the stories I'd heard. I attended the bootcamp Applied Technologies offered for 1 week, and was BLOWN AWAY! The instructor was TRULY THE BEST! It was a ton of information. However, the way it was taught, broken down for anyone still having issues understanding, and the test prep was all outstanding! I have already got a friend to go and will be spreading the word to anyone else I know looking for any IT Certifications! Looking forward to other certifications and PMP myself! BTW, I didn't barely pass either…although only looking for a 750 to get by, I scored well over 800. THANK YOU TO THE BEST TEACHER I COULD ASK FOR!Lloyd Estes

The "CASP+ Bootcamp" class touched on all of the topics, albeit at a high-level, and was very informative. I feel I got a lot from the course, although I would have liked the course to be more "in-depth", I realize that would have taken more time and cost. The Instructor, Royal Harrell, was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we had the knowledge we needed and to answer any questions, as well as making sure we had whatever resources we needed to understand the material. I would definitely recommend this course and the Instructor, to anyone interested in the Cybersecurity field.Raymond Folk

This is by far the best dental academy in the Tampa Bay Area. Let me just start out by saying a big thank you to my instructors Teresa and Bobbi for teaching me and guiding me on the right path to become the best dental assistant I can be. If you are looking for a fun, caring and educational School, this is where you should be! The School revolves around its students. There is so much passion that goes into the way these teachers teach. The teachers are always willing to help in any area you may be having trouble with. Academy for dental assisting is always there for you through your whole process of becoming an EFDA. The curriculum is developed in the best way possible to help you as a student gain the education and proper training you will need to become an EFDA. The director of the academy Ronda, is wonderful as well. She makes an appoint to drop into the class without disruption to say “hi”, answer any of our questions and make us feel welcomed. I am highly satisfied with academy for dental assisting. If you’re considering going to school to become a DA, honestly look no further because you’re right where you were meant to be!Belinda Yohn

I’ve been a dental assistant for 33 years. I moved to Florida from Ohio and needed to get the Florida EFDA and X-ray certifications. I was so nervous to take the tests but I didn’t need to be. The instructor ( thank you Theresa!! ) and office manager ( Thank you Brooke) were so nice and funny and helpful. Once I entered the classroom Theresa had us relaxed and laughing. She took the time to get to know each of us. The class size was small so all of us girls were able to feel comfortable working with everyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far this is the best dental school I’ve ever been to and would highly recommend anyone take their classes or certification courses.Kasey Dreaden

This is the best school ever. They care so much about you and try all the possibles ways, so you can get the lesson and what they are trying to teach. My instructors Ms. Kathy and Ms. P. Jai are beyond any expectations about what a good instructor looks like. The care so much about the students and the way they teach is 100% understandable. I am going to miss them so much… I really enjoy my time there and I would recommend it 100% and beyond. If you are thinking to take this school as your, don’t have any doubts about it is the best decision ever. Take the Saturday class and the success is 100% warranty.Evelyn Dopico

I have been going to IMI for quite awhile to receive hormone replacement and botox. Even after moving further north I continue to go to IMI. The service I receive is outstanding. Therese did my pellet inserts this last time and she is awesome! Takes her time to discuss your symptoms to help you make the right decisions for what is the best course of action to take. She makes sure you understand what is happening in your body regarding your hormones. Gigi is so sweet and does a great job with labs. Donna has been so helpful to me in regards to additional therapies that I am using. Kat is certainly the main reason I continue to visit IMI. She is kind and always concerned for your welfare and that you are getting the best care they offer. I just can't imagine going anywhere else for my hormone therapy. If you are on the fence don't hesitate any longer.Chris Rafferty

Been coming here since 2010 I believe… I had moved away, then came back this way and have come back again to get this FANTASTIC PELLET THERAPY which WORKS !!!! My body started early menopause at the age of 36 and I needed to seek treatment ASAP and this is where I came 🙏🏻💕 Better then a cream or injections ! Everyone here is SO KIND and PROFESSIONAL and just all around A GIFT FROM GOD ! I can’t thank everyone here enough ! They are VERY AFFORDABLE ! They listen to you and they are eager to address any concerns you may have ! Plus they’ve expanded their services to include Botox and many other treatments, which is just fantastic and they have specials running all throughout the year which makes it even more wonderful ! I pray for God to bless everyone who works here and everyone that walks through these doors for VITALITY AGAIN ! 🙏🏻💕✝️Jennifer Tobin

Kelly and her team at Infinity Medical Institute are excellent!! Kelly, the Director, takes her time to hear your chief complaint and works to create a plan that caters to your medical needs while maintaining your health. Each patient is monitored properly and followed up to ensure desired results. I highly recommend this establishment. You will not be disappointed. This was the BEST customer service and patient care I have experienced in many years. Kudos to Kelly and her staff for a job well done!!!Sonya Collins

I would like to start by saying that I began my education with USF which was great for the college experience. Ultimately I chose South University because of the accreditation, better fit with my hectic life and because my coworkers at the hospital suggested it as a reputable place to pursue my Masters in Nursing. I enrolled with the online school first thinking that was the answer but I was not happy at all with the lack of customer service trying to get in touch with people was very difficult and I believe that the online courses do not prepare you for the in depth nature of what you need to know as a nurse practitioner. I took some time off before eventually giving the Tampa campus program a shot which was the best decision for me. Customer service overall was excellent, the classes are only one day a week so it still fit my schedule and the professor interaction was what I needed to feel like I was actually learning something. I also was very impressed at how accessible the school administrators and the director of the program are. It is not to say that there won't be bumps along the road but I couldn't have made a better decision for my life and my education.Vincent Papolo

I have been attending the Tampa location and It has changed my life in a positive way. This it the first nursing program that I have found here in the south where most of the administration including program directors are African American. That means a great deal to me because I aspire to equal success in life. I also have been exposed to the best encouragement that I have ever witnessed during my entire scholastic journey. I am looking forward to continuing my education including post graduate degree at this institution. I would have never had the drive to continue forward at this institution if it was not for the exceptional staff that are always readily available to help guide you through your experience. Though the use of encouragement and a myriad of resources to aid in your success through your program, you can rest assured that your investment in your education here at South University would be worth the sacrifices and monies spent.j k

School rating: 1/5 They are very money oriented and not very helpful. They have a tendency to make things up to get you to sign up. The program is super expensive. They kicked me out because my GPA dropped bellow 2.5. OT Program rating 0/5 I was attending the Occupational Therapy program and had a very bad experience. Five students out of sixteen made it to the last semester, which was above average. All you will be required to do is learn how to write papers. If your GPA drops bellow 2.5 you will be kicked out. The worst professor by far is Kevin Bobos 0/5. He brags about never giving a student a good grade. He is the least educated of all professors and seem to suffer from inferiority complex. By making you feel small he makes himself feel great.John X

Amazing Class, very hands on. Our instructor was on point and guided us very closely along the way. Took the time to work with us individually as needed. Stay behind to insure we didn’t leave frustrated or confused from the class. Was quick, easy and convenient except for the parking (lol) be prepared if they have a events downtown. Only reason why I rated 4 stars. Everything else is great. Don’t waste another second guessing or wondering. This was the best & quick investment ever for my future. What are you waiting for! FYI I got 90% on my national exam!Lashanda Jones

This class is excellent. Quick and easy. Jaime Clark was my instructor and she’s very good and passionate about what she does. She is very informative and thorough and you can tell she’s here to teach because she passionate! She is very hands on and ensures that you are confident in how you feel and understand every step of the process. This class is fast and easy to understand and Jaime makes sure you know to ask questions as you go. I definitely recommend this class!Alexys Elenich

The class was very knowledgeable and easy going. I felt extremely comfortable drawing blood after the two Days in class. Jaime is super helpful and down to earth. She will make sure you are 100% comfortable in drawing blood before you leave. The vibe in the classroom was always good and moved at a great pace. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to start a new career or refresh their skills In phlebotomy! Jaime was definitely awesome!!Stephanie M

I stumbled on this little slice of heaven by accident on my recent move to downtown Tampa. My entire experience was fabulous! The energy and the vibe here is uplifting, yet relaxing. Clean, and comfy, lots of menu options, and they literally have a *solution* for every need. They even have a mobile IV bus for parties and events! Mary is a kindred nurse spirit! She's funny, friendly, and super knowledgeable about IV therapies. Christina is a joy at the front desk. If you're looking to take your health and nutrition to the next level, the IV JOINT IS IT!Andi Strikman

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I use to be terrified of needles because my veins would always roll and I was a difficult stick! My entire perception has changed! Mary is INCREDIBLE! She has gotten my vein EVERY time I have been in (almost a year now). We are thrilled with the staff, everyone is SO nice, always amazing vibes in there! We love our IV joint family!!

My experience was everything & more. I received the COUGH IV DRIP & I added the TORADOL for my MIGRAINES. And it actually worked. I don't have any pain in my head which is a BLESSING for me being I suffer from MIGRAINES every single month. And I feel GOOD!! THANK U💞The Girls

Where do I start?!? I applied to UMA back in May. I planned on listening to what they had to say, then go on my way. I have now been a student at UMA for almost 4 months! Starting with the recruiter, it seemed like a long process, but it really wasn’t. Financial aid was easy as well. Your student advisor stays in touch with you once a week to make sure everything is going okay, but you’re ALWAYS welcome to call them if you have issues. UMA also has a department that you can get in touch with for any personal issues you’re having in your life. The classes are 5 weeks long. You have your instructors number and email if you have any issues. They have a Dean’s list and Alpha Beta Kappa. The resources at UMA are endless. My experience at UMA has been amazing. I am doing the online classes because I live in Memphis Tennessee. I make my own schedule. Attending UMA has been a life changing experience for me. I never imagined going back to school at 43 years old. I never imagined being an A student. The instructors are extremely helpful. I’ve had a total of 5 instructors so far, and they have all been very helpful and professional! (Shout out to Ms. Lee instructing CI100 for being AMAZING!!!) I have enjoyed my journey here at UMA so far and I definitely look forward to the next year. My name is Jammie Beloate, and I am UMA. #PumaPrideJammie Beloate

As someone returning to school as an older adult, I'm pleased with how much support you have while taking these courses. There is a lot of material to cover, but if you listen to your instructors and use the online resources you can get the work completed on time every time. Currently, I am taking two courses and I never get frustrated or tired of doing the work. The coursework and chapter readings all work cohesively to help me gain a better understanding of what Reimbursement Specialists, Medical Billing Specialist, and Coders do on a daily basis. Also, if any thing goes wrong with a textbook or assignment not working correctly just call the technical support and they guide you through step-by-step to resolve the issue. The Instructors are so patient will do everything within their power to make sure you understand the learning material. I recommend UMA to anyone who wants to broaden their understanding of the Healthcare Industry you should enroll at this school. They truly want to make sure every student has a successful academic journey.Joyce Brooks

My UMA experience was awesome from the first conversation to graduation and beyond. The support was amazing ever step of the way. When it seem hard and I wanted to give up each week my professors would post encouraging words that would make you push a little harder. The feedback with each assignment and the quick response from my professors were what I need to stay on top of my classes. My counselors were always there for me and checking on me weekly. They were like family and could talk to the about anything. Tech Support was always there when you had any problems and made you feel like they wanted to help. I would recommend UMA to any one I meet that want to go to back to school.Wylene Natteal

I was a little nervous because I had a horrible experience at the first place I went to (not related to Canna Doctors). They were very easy to schedule and the doctor I saw was extremely knowledgeable and asked me plenty of questions and was able to recommend exactly what I needed, unlike the previous place I went to. I highly recommend!Amy M

They made the appointment did a ph interview what a great way to renew your card Convenient and very time saving especially when you work on the road like I do. I couldn’t have been more pleased to call came in when it was supposed to it just made things so much easier. Thank you canna doctorsJohn Ennis

How do I even begin. !!! From walking in like a nervous wreck, to walking out feeling cared for and informed. The employees and staff at this location are amazing. My Physician was so understanding. Thank you. Will refer to anyone else.David Cruz

A little over a month ago on May 11, 2022, I hobbled into the BioSpine Surgery Center Tampa and received a laminectomy from Dr Frank Bono. Pain, numbness, and tingling were my constant companions. I couldn’t sneeze or cough without a flutter of shocking nerve pain down my toes. Pain at an 8/10, and I was desperate to get relief but clearly not just anyone would do. Previous to the BioSpine surgery I had visited several MD’s who had proposed extensive, invasive surgical procedures involving months of PT and healing. My spinal surgery was scheduled at 2pm, so while I was waiting my turn I was able to witness what seemed like an endless stream of people thanking Dr Bono for relieving their pain and giving them their life back when he came back into Recovery to check on his patients. Then it was my turn! I joked with Dr Bono and Todd Williams, PA, for a quick second and then the next thing I remember was waking up pain free. Shortly after, Dr Bono walked into Recovery to check on me. I knew already what the others had known; that he had done what he said he could and would do. Truly, I was beyond grateful, but what could I do but say, “Thank You for giving me my life back”? A month has past, I have healed, and I am living my best life…free of all pinched nerve pain. I am profoundly grateful to Dr Bono and the entire BioSpine team and strongly recommend them to those looking to “get your life back”. LRCox, Grateful PatientLinda Cox

I'm almost two months post OP from a C5-C6 replacement., EVERY engagement I've had with Biospine has involved some kind of mistake on their part with no sense of urgency or care to rectify my experience. They failed to pursue my insurance company for approval until 24 hours before surgery, resulting in the surgery date being pushed and forcing me to come in twice for a per-op appt. They tried to charge me twice for my deductible. They assigned the wrong neck collar to me. This was caught before the procedure but they still tried to charge me for it. The doctor confused me for another patient in the pre-opp appt. and was reading the chart for a fusion and not a disc replacement. The day of surgery, the prep nurse asked why I had the wrong collar. I actually had the right one, she was confused. Post-op the Patient Educator never replied to my e-mail of concerns. When I did speak to him he had an attitude that made me feel like I was bothering him. They rarely answer the phone. I have more pain than before. Maybe it's too soon to tell, but I'm concerned that they incorrectly diagnosed me.Kris Garner

WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. I had some reservations about going based on what people said but I went anyway. After an hour and 45 minutes of waiting… Dr. Bono walked in with an arrogance that I noticed right away. He asked what was going on, and I started explaining, but after 10 seconds he cut me off like I was boring him. I have a herniated disc at L1-L2, and another bulge at L5-S1 with an annular tear (which I already knew from my MRI). I could tell he was mad that I did not need surgery… aka make him money. I simply wanted to know what was SPEFICIALLY was causing my pain (since he said the herniations weren't a big deal) and what my options were. His diagnosis was that I'm too told, I shouldn't squat, and that it won't get any better. Event though he told me my X-ray was phenomenal and he would have never thought it was a back of a person who squats. He gave me one non-surgical option, which I may consider. But not with BioSpine. Needless to say, I won't be going back.Jess Krezmien

When speaking with Dr. Stone, it is immediately clear how knowledgeable he is about orthopedics and, in particular, the arm and shoulder. However, what makes him such a great doctor is his bedside manner and genuine concern for his patients’ wellbeing. Dr. Stone asks many questions and listens carefully before making suggestions. He recognizes the patients’ need to be fully informed about their injury and is intentional when sharing the time commitment, financial responsibility, and long-term prognosis of each option he suggests for treatment. He demonstrates respect for his patients’ autonomy by allowing them the time needed to make an education decision concerning the best course of action. Even though he is a highly respected physician with a very demanding schedule, I never sensed that he was in a rush and, in fact, I left the appointment feeling heard, validated, and optimistic for a full recovery.Heather S

Best experience in an urgent care to date. Everyone was caring, knowledgeable, professional and patient. I’ve fallen several times and all I got in the past was ER, Primary to PT, no MRI, now I’m scheduled for an MRI and we will go from there. I nearly burst into tears when she pointed out my patella and said we should get an MRI. I’m incredibly grateful to the care I received today. Jennifer, Evin and everybody was amazing. The short haired blonde woman who helps People at the grocery store, the extremely young looking grandmother, and the beautiful lady with the sunburn, I wish I could remember all their names. Every single person was very good to us. And my son was with me and he was treated very well also. Can I give 10 stars?Keljean Pomatico

Two week follow up after reconstructive surgery. First of all, Dr Sanders took the time following the surgery to explain to my wife what corrections were made. When I met with him on the follow up visit he explained what was accomplished in more detail and an opportunity to ask questions. Dr Sanders does not make you feel as though you are wasting his time and due to his calm demeanor puts you at ease. To me he genuinely values me as his patient and wants me to succeed in my recovery and physical well being. In addition to this, his staff is exceptional as well which is a reflection of Dr Sanders leadership. Steve HardemanSteve Hardeman

I would highly recommend Marty and the team at Age Management and Optimal Wellness Center to anyone who wants to optimize their body and feel better than you ever have! I had no idea that I was suffering from Low T/Low Testosterone along with my adrenal glands and my thyroid. I was always under the impression that thyroid issues only affected women, I was wrong. Marty is truly a Hormone Specialist. They do a Full Hormone Blueprint on you and run a full panel of labs to really see what is not functioning the correct way. Instead of throwing a pill at you or removing your thyroid they actually get your body running the way it should be, the way it was meant to be, before lifestyle and diet have ravaged your system. Marty and the team at Age Management and Optimal Wellness gave a new meaning to hormone therapy and low testosterone treatments. The hormone replacement therapy has helped with my weight, moods, energy, sex drive and more. I feel better than I ever have!Edward Cullom

I was feeling tired all the time, and then couldn’t sleep at night. No progress regardless of diet or fitness. AMOWC was recommended by a friend who had experienced the same symptoms and it has been the best ever. The staff has always been there when I have questions or concerns. Not to mention they are the most knowledgeable staff in this type of medicine I’ve ever met. I’ve been a patient for just over two years now and refuse to go anywhere else. Since my first visit, everything has changed, and I truly feel like I am always at my best performance in and out of the gym because of the AMOWC team. I have recommended tons of people to go here and will continue! Don’t waste your time with Tampa Rejuvenation, they overcharge everything, AMOWC is the way to go! You get answers, you get a legitimate caring and knowledgeable team, and it’s way more affordable than that other place! AMOWC all the way!B C

Ericka and her team are amazing at Age Management and optimal wellness! Before I came a patient, I was one of those folks struggling with hypothyroidism and treatment plans from past doctors. After reading many positive reviews, I visited Ericka in May 2021 and have been ecstatic with the treatment plan she put me on. She takes time and listens to your symptoms, thoroughly explains lab results, and is open minded with her treatment plans. I saw results within a few weeks as I Dropped the 20 lbs of thyroid weight I never thought I would lose- within 90 days. I have been back to my old life style of lifting weights and playing tennis 5-6 days a week. I finally am feeling my age which is only 33 and like I was before I was diagnosed. I encourage anyone who is struggling with thyroid problems or have any other hormone related symptoms to Visit Ericka Mutz! I know I’m happy I did.Christopher Conte
