8 Best Mph Programs In El Paso, TX (2022 Updated)

This appointment was in the process since almost 6 months ago. There was no openings which was understandable from Covid. However when I arrived I was under the impression Dr Sing would be my doctor. I was told how sweet he is and reassured he's all in all a swell guy. In comes in Dr Wongmek who was the complete opposite from the beginning. She entered rushed and upset with the computers in the facility. She starts to rush my appointment and was condescending until I expressed I was becoming upset. She apologized for "how I was feeling" she soon changed her tone. I thought we were on to something when she asked me about my diagnosis. Unfortunately I was left in the room over another hour (almost 3 hrs total) nobody was in the hall to ask any questions. I had enough by then and walked out. I was gone almost 22 mins before they realized I had already left the premises. Mrs Rocio who was the sweetest ever, took it upon herself to call me. She wanted to reschedule me and I chose not to. Honestly for what… another 6 months. And to be passed off to another unhappy provider. Thank you but no thank you. I've been a Medical Assistant for over 13 years and never felt like such an inconvenience.Vanessa C

I went into a specific location and all I had done was a check-up basically, if you can really call it that. People say insurance is expensive, try not having it. All they did was check my weight, blood pressure, looked in my ear, looked down my throat and looked at my eyes. If I remember correctly. The whole process took about 15 minutes and I paid $100 the day of. I later received a bill with a balance of $300 roughly. It cost me almost $500 for a 15 minute check-up, that did absolutely nothing. I was given orders for blood-work and requested a colonoscopy, which I found out costs $2-3 thousand dollars, approximately. Not sure how much blood-work will cost, scared to ask. The doctor was good initially, seemed to truly care. The session was ended horribly, left feeling like, is the doctor coming back, feels like something was missing, felt incomplete. Capitalism is great and I understand it, but this country is ran by the dollar for the dollar. NOTHING IS DONE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE. Take covid-19 for example and all costs they were/are trying to pass on to the people. It's all about investors and how can they make as much money as possible.KayBecs

We are new in town Medicare with supplement and the closest clinic told us to come here maybe cecause they didn't like Medicare. A retired Physician Assistant I took 2 hours of reading with me but only waited 30 minutes. 5 stars for getting me in as a first time patient for a pre operative physical they had an appointment in two days instead of two weeks. Staff was courteous. Not sure if my MD was a resident but he was thorough and attentive. I found residents more engaged and interested than us old guys just trying to pay our mortgages. Better trained as well. Thanks. I have not had covid yet so glad to see spacious waiting room with few people in it.ken jenks

UTEP as university does not rank at all in either the QS, Times Higher Education or AWRU World University Rankings. Hence you do not go to this university to be competitive within academia nor expect career compensation on a commensurate monetary level as a Top Tier or even 100 ranked university. For those interested in careers in National Security or Intelligence, UTEP is one of the IC ACE (IC Centers for Academic Excellence) under the DIA. If you examine the current list of schools who classify, all with the exception of Penn State are sub-par in terms of academic ranking, reputation and overall competitiveness. As such, you should NOT expect to be recruited by premier alphabet federal agencies such as the CIA, ODI, FBI or DIA. The so-called meet and greet sessions with organizations such as the CIA are just for PR. Read A Curriculum of Fear by Nicole Nguyen. The IC ACE program is just an extension of the Milton High School program at a secondary level and subsequently proof of further militarization of academia. See Prof. David N. Gibbs research. UTEP NSSI program will not prepare you adequately for a position at an alphabet agency. I have direct experience in terms of the interview process and this includes two Five Eyes countries intelligence services. I would strongly advise having an established military background with an appropriate MOS, preferably working INT with high level clearance and exposure to analysis. Foreign language acquisition is mandatory. Being or becoming a polyglot is an enormous plus. Military is valuable for the vetting process and indoctrination. Finally I would also suggest majoring in fields of specialty as opposed to a generic umbrella like liberal arts program such as Intelligence studies. I would also suggest overseas exposure. Long term. Think Exchange student for extended periods. Total immersion including culturally and linguistically. Travel, gain first hand experience and real world knowledge. My final critique with UTEP is the faculty. None have applicable real world intelligence experience. Some have military background which is not the same as in the civilian world working for an agency. I can get more real world knowledge reading the articles written by ex-CIA McGovern or Philip Giraldi at Consortium News or watching Richard Steele on YouTube droning on about the need for total all source open intelligence as a reform for the CIA. This is a problem at UTEP and probably the entire IC ACE program. In fact, this was addressed in the Washington Post article, "Colleges Must Be Intelligent About Intelligence Studies" written by ex-CIA, professor of History, Nicholas Dujmovic. This was followed by a limited response from two UTEP professors entitled, "Can colleges teach intelligence? Three security studies professors argue they can, and should" I seriously suggest you READ BOTH. Pay special attention to the second follow up response comments. There are 14 comments including Dr. Dujmovic's timely response which adequately confirms my own beliefs and experience. as he correctly states, "professional academics, with little to no actual intelligence experience, who have an interest in perpetuating the degree programs they run." The additional comments are of equal merit as they brutally confront the apparent hypocrisy of the such academic programs from what genuinely appears to be INT insiders with both military and civilian intelligence experience. On a final personal note, I would like to express my disdain for the program's coordinator, Carmen B. Medellin whose has shown to be completely inconsiderate and rude to student needs and inquiries.Merauder

The school is good overall. They have enough classes so that people are not desperately trying to get registered for their class like they do in California. They have a wide range of degree programs you can choose. It is a commuter school, but still there is a lot of student life, activities and pride. University is what you make of it. You can go and leave each day without talking to anyone, or you can go and make lots of friends and join clubs making this the best years of your life. I read some of the comments that say that the professors don't answer questions and that they act like celebrities. I say talk to the dean, you are paying for your education they need to answer your questions. Of course don't be that person that tries to take over the class trying to feel smart asking question after question. Also there is a degree of learning that comes from in class teaching, but students also have to study on their own based on the guidance they get in class. How many hours do people really study? In regards to getting a degree, please don't get thousands of dollars into debt for a liberal arts degree unless you have some plan that will allow you to pay back your loans. It is no one but the students fault if they choose a useless degree. You guys should know what degrees will allow you to get a job after graduations and which ones are just going to look nice on your wall. At the end of the day, there are many Universities around the country, if you don't like it, go to another one or don't complain that you didn't get accepted anywhere else and you are stuck.Carlos Contreras

This University offers a beautiful campus. I enjoyed the scenery. On the other hand the University is awful. The structure and system of the University is poor. The staff within most departments lack knowledge. You are constantly being directed to different locations in order to resolve an issue. I wanted to change my major midway through the semester and I seriously had the worse time changing it. Let's just say, it is still the same major. I am unhappy at this University, the professors although some good, seem as if they just show in order to receive their check. My first two years, 70% of my professors were extremely anal and dealt with giving outrageous curves because the whole class was failing. The reason why everyone was failing was mostly because of the lack of teaching. Yes, it isn't always the professors but the students as well, I know, but when 95% of the class is below a 70, we have a problem. At this point I'd rather invest my money into a community college to rap up my basics. Give UTEP a try, but I am almost positive you won't be too happy.Austin Carson

Dr. Gupte is the model of how medical care should be in this country. I’ve thought about this – and told friends and family this – the past 10 months after he performed surgery to remove a tumor on my dad’s brain. In doing so, Dr. Gupte gave my dad and us precious more time. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Gupte and his surgical team. Specifically, Dr. Gupte was available and willing to spend time with us and answer questions. He checked in on us and made sure everyone was OK. He gave us his cell number in case we had any questions or needed anything. He Face-timed with us. He expressed his sincere care for our father and family. My sister and I – who were both absolute cynics of the medical care system in our country – have renewed faith due to Dr. Gupte’s expertise and care. I’m sure this sounds hard to believe – a renewed faith – but it is 100% true. I can’t tell you how much Dr. Gupte’s surgical skill and patient/family care meant to my dad, me, and my family. He’s a rare find! We made him and his office holiday cookies in December – which he loved and was so grateful for; he thanked us in a text (still had our information from my dad’s surgery in July!) and thanked me again in person when we had to bring my dad back for an emergency related to his cancer condition. He saw me in the lobby, recognized me (with a mask on) and got up to say he’d make a point to check on my dad. Which he DID. Because Dr. Gupte CARES about his patients. 100% of my dad’s experience with Dr. Gupte was not just positive – but extremely positive. Seeing my dad’s face after surgery where he had full function of his left side – I will never forget it. Dr. Gupte is a miracle worker and he deserves 5 stars+ on any review. There is no doubt that if ever you needed it – you’d be VERY lucky to have Dr. Gupte as your surgeon. We are forever grateful to you, Dr. Gupte!Kristi Drexler

I could not have picked a better place to have my procedure done. From the receptionists, schedulers, medical assistants, clinic patient navigator (very helpful) to billing and Mr. Dominguez PA all were very professional and took the time to assist with all my needs. Also, all those who assisted in preparation of the operation and those assisting in the operation and last but not least Dr. Gupte. He is said to be one of the best and I could not agree more. He did a fantastic job on my procedure and I can not thank him and his staff enough. I had a very short recovery time and I was up and about in a few days (with PT help of course) something Dr. Gupte said would happen and I could not believe it. I highly recommend this facility and Dr. Gupte.J Aranda

Excellent experience from start to finish. I can only speak highly of Dr Gupte. He is very knowledgeable and skilled at what he does and I felt confident and secure in his care. He embodies what true medicine should be like, which is putting the patients health and safety first, along with patience and empathy. My surgeries were complicated and recovery was long. And today, thanks to his great skills, new advanced medical procedures, I have a normal life. Thanks to him and his wonderful team. I am forever grateful, I can enjoy my family, work, exercise. Thank you Dr. Gupte for giving me my life back! RRRocio Rodriguez Gomez

Dr. Aguilar is relatively new to this practice having taken over from retired Dr. Arianna Bender (who was fantastic). Care to date appears to be very good but need more time/experience to rate more comfortably. He appears to have the background that is good for someone in my situation, is easy to talk with, and has been very responsive.Bob Elliott

I have been a patient of Dr Aguilar’s since before he joined MDVIP. He is very knowledgeable about nutrition, much more than any other physician that I know of. I am very pleased that I didn’t have to go out of town for this type of medical care.Elizabeth Gutierrez

Dr Aguilar is quite thorough in explaining proactive plans to help with my medical issues. He takes his time in listening to me as a patient and discussing what is best for me.Cervera Concepts

First off let me start off with that I did not go to school here. The reason I'm writing this review is because everyone that I've met that has gone to this school and somehow managed to graduate does not know how to spell. I mean how can you graduate high school and not know how to read? I asked them what kind of math they learned and they didn't even know what math was! I was astonished! I said "Jeez, you know, they really ought to be teaching kids how to read!" I guess they just hand out diplomas to anyone these days. For such a nice building, I think they should at least try to teach these kids to spell. Go T-Birds!!!Chris Combatti

My Abuelo went there and graduated however he passed away my best friend went there about 25 years ago and people report that a girl committed suicide by jumping off the fourth floor. He thought it was "BS" however he have seen blood on the bathroom walls before and they claim that it was just grease. Also when he was after school alone, people and him have heard and seen a girl that looked depressed. The school tries to cover it up. The education is great, but the history is bad!!Nicholas

This school is haunted and plus when your alone in that school at night you could get killed and plus my friend alexis lives near this school and the lady killed herself comes to her house(I don’t recommend kids or other people in this place)Jessica jenkins

It was an adventure! Ups and downs, but that is high school! Difference is, I had my brothers at Cathedral to go through it all! Only regret I had was not going in earlier. If you are a student curious about Cathedral, visit and talk to the Brothers! If you become a student, make sure you experience it all! Viva la Cate!Salvador Rodarte

I mean it's Texas Tech. It feels brand new because it is. It feels like it shouldn't be in El Paso, its so nice, and I don't mean to be mean. Very technologically forward, very awesome facilities. Befitting of medical students paying out their noses for an education.Kelly Ahrendes

Great medical school! The faculty and staff are fantastic. They put in the extra effort with every student to make sure you succeed. I am proud to say I went here for Medical School.Caleb Janosz

It's hard to get into the nursing program but once you are in, it is worth it. Not only they teach you skills a nurse must have, but also why you are doing what you do with the patients. This is key for knowing what could go wrong and either avoid it or be prepared for it. Great instructors.Claudia Romo

A beautiful setting to learn and grow in with state-of-the-art educational facilities and faculty! UTEP's School of Nursing is among the top ten in the nation. If you are searching for a satisfying and fulfilling career, this is the place to accomplish your dreams.Kathleen Cox
