20 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Port St. Lucie, FL (2022 Updated)

I never had a chance to visit barry university before enrolling and I wound up not liking the area. The area outside of it is very ghetto and the dorms are smaller than what is shown on the layout online. I didn't feel safe in the general area so I withdrew from the university during the grace period where I should've gotten a 100% refund on classes and an 80% refund on housing. It's been almost two months since I signed and dated the form where I only agreed on paying 20% for housing and 0% for classes. I had not gone to any classes and now I am moved out and enrolled in a different college. I am still being given hell on this process where they were only responsible for calculating the 20% on housing that I owed and signing a withdrawal form. It's taken them two months to do these simple tasks that should've been made a priority and I was told it would be. I am now being billed for $7,050 for classes. For what classes? I hadn't gone to any and withdrew during the grace period. I have copies of my withdrawal form stating what I signed for and printed copies of the official website stating the corresponding dates and percentages for refunds and billing. They are now either going to resolve this issue right away or I will be in the process of sueing the university. This is ridiculous. The only person I can say actually had done their job was my academic advisor who also agreed that this process has been a ridiculous money scam.Miranda Moran

What can I say: I love Barry. Even though I live way up here in Jax, I commuted down there for classes once a month. It was worth it to me. I’m in the PhD nursing program and I can say it really changed my life. Dr. Jessie Colin, who is also my chair, is the most intelligent and remarkable person I have ever met. The 5 stars is for her and how she is running the doctoral program. Thank you Dr. Colin! The rest of the nursing faculty are also wonderful. Lovely women (too many to name). I’m so glad I made the decision to come to this school. I’ve learned so much that this post would be too long to describe it all! It’s an intellectually challenging program, so be ready to learn. This school in general really focuses on social justice. If you are not open minded to multi-culturalism and discovering new ways of thinking outside of the norm, this may not be the school for you. I tell people this because I know how the culture is in America today (ignorance is bliss). You have to accept to live the ‘Barry Life’, which is being open to culture and seeking justice for those whose voices might go unheard. Like some say on other reviews, yes, the area in which the school is in is kinda sketchy. And be prepared, the student parking is awful. The biggest parking lot is a couple blocks away and you have to take a shuttle to get to the campus. It’s a small campus but quite beautiful.904 CZV

Barry University is the worst. I was enrolled for one semester in 2013. The way the school system is set up is terrible. NO ONE is on the same page, rarely will credits transfer, teachers do not truly care or seemed interested in making personal relationships (mind you this is a PRIVATE college), and lastly…getting your transcripts sent to other colleges is the HARDEST. They go through different programs like "Transcripts on Demand" so there's no help from Barry because they don't even know whats going on in the transcript process. They just buy some company to come handle all of their students and transcripts for them. My transcripts are now late being sent to two different colleges and its been over a month since I sent my consent form (since when do you need a consent form to sent transcripts…usually you pay a fee and that's that). Thank you Barry for giving us kids the BEST education and care a private college could! NOTBrittany Hallet

I appreciate Rasmussen University for having an abundance of resources and many professors and other staff members who demonstrate they want students to succeed. I especially have enjoyed being a peer educator, being privileged to work with Tammy Hopps who is an excellent supervisor and leader, and also being able to work with other peer educators who care for their peers as much as I do. I transferred from a local state college, which I considered sticking with to save money, but in reality, not much is saved when you compare the timeframe for graduation. At the state college it would take me an extra 2 whole years to receive my BSN, whereas at Rasmussen I save 2 years of time because of their second-degree BSN option. I am very pleased with the quality of technology – at the state school blackboard and other resources were slow and did not work as well on my cell phone, whereas with Rasmussen I can easily access everything I need from my phone when I'm on the go. It's inspiring to see so many single parents and married parents in school, some of which also work full time or part time like myself while completing their degree. Highly recommend!HappyNessa11:11& Family

I had such high hopes when enrolling at this school. However my experience hasn't been favorable at all. I am a current student and I was disappointed because even though I was able to enroll and start classes I really felt unsupported on this journey. I'm realizing Rasmussen may not be the school for me. I REALLY thought I would be supported and encouraged. I was made to feel that Rasmussen would be rooting for me through my academic journey. Instead I am bombarded with emails and calls telling me what I already know… I owe money. No calls or emails about how I can be helped to budget so that I can pay more toward the balance. I'm only being told: what I owe, to get the balance down to $500-$1000 and to take out loans; which will only put me in debt and it's too early to be taking out loans when I've been in school since September of 2021 and have 2 more years. Also this school doesn't cater to single parents, limited income and individuals that HAVE to work. This school ONLY has day classes for the nursing program and as I said before I HAVE to work full time.Sherria Clark

This morning I called the university for the North Orlando Campus for the Nursing program and spoke to the director of Nursing who was discusstingly rude on the phone. I called to get information, He had no patience and told me Not to proceed a career in Nursing because it was Not for me. This was a university that I was so excited to be a part of and be a graduate of Nursing. The director needs to be Fired because he is giving the university a bad reputation. To whom it may concern please take this review into consideration and hire a new director of Nursing for the program.Georgia Conde

We’ve been neighbors to FSU for 10yrs. Great college, staff and students. We love to see the growth in our city and FSU has grown behind belief. Keep up the get work, you make our city look amazing. ❤️🛵🖤Scooterville Tallahassee

When I initially came into this school I wanted to eventually go into their graduate program. The admissions advisor told me that I would have a higher change if I got my undergrad there as well. So I did. I graduated with a 3.4, the teachers were amazing and then I go to apply for my graduate program. Due to covid the interview was over the phone. The gentleman that interviewed me asked me why I wanted to go into mental health and I explained to him how in the past I had a substance abuse problem (I wanted to be as honest as I could) because I had been saved and I felt like my purpose was to be a vessel of god and help others. The minute I said that to him he answered “I AM SORRY BUT I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT YOU IN FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE” “MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME OFF”. He did finish the interview but weeks later I received a letter saying that I was denied admission to the school. I was already in the school, so I called and no one understood why I wasn’t accepted. My advisor was confused, my teachers and myself. When I asked why I wasn’t accepted so that I can work on it and fix it no one knew. They said the committee looks at different things and decides. I had classmates with lower GPAs that were admitted, I had one friend who had failed a class and was admitted and I wasn’t admitted simply because I have a past with mental health. I asked to email someone so I may get an answer as to why this happened. They didn’t even send me the proper letter stating I wasn’t accepted into the program. No one ever got back to me and honestly it shattered me because here I am paying 3 times the amount of a state university to be discriminated by my past. I truly worked hard for my grades.Mari Molina

I personally did not like the college. I decided to leave after one semester because I didn’t feel the Christian culture as I should have. They don’t cater to commuter students. And the professors that I had didn’t care if you learned or not. The people in student services were rude to me and it showed me their true colors. They are nice when they want you to apply and mean after you apply. They lie and say they have scholarships to offer you and then in the end you have to take out loans. They chose my classes because I was a freshman and I didn’t like most of my teachers. They also put me in the wrong math class and when I transferred out it took so long that I already miss majority of the work and had to drop the class altogether. I wouldn’t recommend this college at all. They were expensive for no reason. I also didn’t like that they force you to do community service. When offering to the community it should be our choice because it will be in good will and our own choice. But when you force us we aren’t going it because we want to but because we have to so that we can graduate.Brittnay Baxter

I was a first year student at PBAU, and I can say whole-heartedly, the WORST school to be in, very uptight people and community. I got scammed by getting a 10k grant and got stuck with owing the school WAY more then was suppose to. The administration never gets back to you, and the new president gives all her work off and doesn’t try to reach out to the students- even when asked. This school does not care about the students and is a SCAM.Autumn Pucino

I graduated from the ADN Program here at Fortis and passed NCLEX a couple months after on the first try. My experience at Fortis was amazing. The nursing staff gave me the tools and knowledge I needed to prepare and sit for boards. I’d be lying if I said the journey was easy but it wasn’t. It was tough but not impossible. Nursing is no joke and one must really have a passion for it to be successful. There will be moments where you feel like giving up but that’s when you reach deep down inside of you and remember the reason you started in the first place. Every single nursing staff is there to help whenever needed. The professors may seem tough and Dean Lue but only because they truly care and want to see you succeed. I can’t forget about my fellow colleagues with whom I shared my experience with and who played a part in my success as well from the study groups we had to the late evenings practicing together on the mannequins for Capstone, it was worth it. Thank you to the amazing nursing staff and my colleagues! Thank you Fortis! The experience you have here at Fortis is what you make it. If you take the time and put in the work you will succeed. #FortisStrongAngelica Francisco

I currently attend Fortis for Medical Billing and Coding. I feel like this was one of the best investments I have made. The teachers here truly care about the students and their success. I look forward to each day with enthusiasm. I feel that I am gaining the knowledge and skills that I will need to be successful in my career. I am grateful for the teachers who go above and beyond because they love what they do and care about the students. Currently I am preparing to take the CPC exam and Fortis offers workshops to help me to achieve my goals. I know when I leave here I will not be alone because I know the caring staff are with me in each step that I take to be the best at what I do.Madeline Conlon Valdes

I recently graduated from Fortis Institute. I was in the Dental Assistant program. The teachers are awesome teachers, they are willing to give you a extra hand when you need. The teachers are very helpful and go the extra mile if you are struggling with the material in class. They are very understanding and they don't push you to the side when you are struggling compared to other schools where the teachers are just there for the paycheck.They dedicate their time and effort to their students everyday throughout the school years.I appreciate the teachers at fortis institute and especially the teachers from the Dental Assistant programdaniela tristan

I called Howard Hughes Firm after several attempts to actually speak to an attorney at one of the big firms I saw on the bill boards. I was very surprised that within minutes he called me back from out of state where he was on vacation. I felt bad but he continued to talk with me. After several conversations, I felt like I was talking with a close friend. I was very comfortable and never had a worry about my case. Howard took care of everything so I could focus on my life. Another thing that made me very comfortable was the fact that Howard worked for the insurance companies before and knew how things were done with them. What more could I ask for?! Furthermore, he directed me to the right doctors that I should use for my injuries. Having Howard Hughes Firm to handle my case was the best decision, I highly recommend him. There are 2 locations! Jupiter and Port Saint LucieLove Camping

I would like to start off by saying to anyone who reads this, look no further for an attorney. Howard Hughes and Mark Medei are an amazing team who actually care about their clients. Most attorneys you will encounter only truly care about their money they will make. This team is the complete opposite. Not only did they show me genuine compassion, but they were always a phone call away. Anytime I called, had a question, needed information, they were right there. I will never seek another law office because Hughes Law Firm will represent me now and with any future endeavors through the courts I might have.Alexandria Dreifuerst

I would like to recommend Hughes Law firm and in particular Mr. Howard Hughes. I had the occasion to speak to Mr. Hughes about a matter involving my daughter recently. Although our situation was not in Mr. Hughes' field of practice, he was very helpful in offering to listen and and actively looked for a referral for us. I am quite certain that should I need legal representation in an injury related case I would retain Mr. Hughes to handle my case!Richard Wilson

Doctor and hygienist are very nice, knowledgeable, and caring. Their service is 5/5. The front desk & other office staff do not communicate clearly and are difficult to work with. Very poor customer service. It is not worth the hassle and frustration to use this dentist. Recommend finding another office. A few examples of poor office staff interactions. I had a cleaning appointment that needed to be rescheduled because the hygienist was sick. They rescheduled me on the phone & when I showed up at my appointment time I was not on the schedule. They had to reschedule me- again. Often I am overcharged- which would be fine since the way insurance works is idiotic (not their fault) however every time I get the claim back from insurance and it shows a lower amount, it is an uphill battle for them to refund me my money. I was suppose to have a credit put on my account for the overcharged but that also was not documented in their system. Another time they scheduled an appointment for my spouse without even asking her schedule or confirming that it was a good time for her.Kevin McCarty

I have been coming here for a couple of years now and the quality is always impeccable. They are very Covid safe, still, and always stick to the appointment times. You call from the parking lot and they let you in and sit you right down. The dental hygienist, Rey, is the best. He is so friendly and makes you feel so comfortable and is always giving suggestions for the health and functionality of your teeth. 5/5 Stars.Tatiana Rosa

I called for an appointment as a new patient and was granted an appointment immediately. Facility is clean, staff is friendly and professional. State of the art equipment makes for an amazing examination and diagnosis. X-ray and cleaning was gentle but thorough by skilled technician. Very pleased with my experience. I would recommend Stuart Dentist, Dr. Panchal, and entire staff for anyone.Carl Gustavsen

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIVERSITY!!!! Positive reviews come from admissions counselors at SOUTH UNIVERSITY. BEWARE!!!!! I had a really bad experience at South University and yes I would agree with the statements about them being all about the money. I was told my transfer credits were approved, BUT once I was enrolled—signed all documents—then they told me that I had to retake more classes $$$ (again, after being “approved”). Tuition is ridiculous, I was charged well over $4,000 for 2 classes. Now they won’t even release my transcripts until I pay off this amount. BE CAREFUL!!!! The institution is disorganized, and I got mixed information from different people. I never knew who was in charge of anything…. It all seems smooth and nice until you sign up. BTW I received both As in my classes, this is an honest review based on my experience and it doesn’t come from “someone who’s not doing what they are supposed to”Santiago Cardona

I am an alumni of South University and I only experienced a great experience. I see people posting reviews that the school only cares about your money, which is not correct. There is a student academic progress process in which the students who are not doing well academically will be given the opportunity to improve their grades. If they do not, they will be academically dismissed from the school. The professors care about the students success and help in any way that they can. I highly recommend South University. The tuition if not cheap, but if you are looking for small classes, individualized attention and success…South University is the school for you. I feel that some people on this forum were not doing what they needed to do to be successful and they should own up to it, not blame the school.Kamisha Vanarsdale

The admissions team was amazing when I got there (of course I had an appointment) the wait wasn't long at all. The next day I went to see the financial aid, which didn't take much longer then any other college that I had gone to. The teachers are really nice and help you when you need any help with assignments. The tuition is pretty high but it is a private school that helps when you ask for what you need in a polite manner. Though I am upset that I can not rollover all of my previous credit from the last college that was closed down, I'm still happy that they have taken what they could! All around great staff and great schoolBrittney Furtado

I highly recommend MMJ Health! As a new patient I was very nervous, but I had no reason to be! Dr. Morgan is highly knowledgeable and so kind and caring. My follow-up appointments with Kyrie are like chatting with a medical specialist who cares about me as a person and actually knows me and my medical history. 5 stars for their overall medical professionalism, caring atmosphere, and making the medical cannabis process so easy. Five stars! Thank you, KYRIE, for your awesome care!Amy Warren

I just got off the phone for my follow-up appointment to renew my prescription. I’ve been a patient for over a year, and I think it’s so great the MMJ Health has the same representative do all of your follow-ups. For that reason, I’ve been having my appointments with TRAVIS, and it makes for a more personal experience. TRAVIS is very caring and personable. He gives great recommendations and advice for any issues I have. I’m glad I get to continue my follow-ups with him.Samantha Buwalda

It was an absolute pleasure meeting Dr. Morgan! I could not be happier with my experience. I appreciate how much time she took with me and made me feel like a person, not just a patient. I felt like I was seeing an actual doctor as opposed to the last doctor I saw who didn't even speak to me and had an assistant do it. You can tell she really cares about the medical side and not just handing out cards.Rebecca Siegel

I can almost NEVER get a hold of any medical assistants on the phone. If you have a question or need something urgent from them it is best to go through the "appointment" option on the talk box while on the call. The redeeming quality to this Office is the doctors. I have been a patient for 4-5 years and have not had an issue, they are some of the nicest doctors and are very accurate with their diagnoses. While I was in Orlando I had to switch medicines because of Side Effects 2 different times and had the new medicine within a day.Tyler Jackson

From my initial call for an appointment where the receptionist sounded sincere and welcoming to the short wait the day of my appointment Premier treated me kindly. The PA Jeanine was thorough and caring. The only reason for less than 5 stars was my use of their online patient access. It is great they offer a service to communicate privately but my messages went unanswered requiring a phone call. The phone call resulted in immediate resolution of my concerns so again great service there.Gregg G

I want to start by saying that Dr. Yono is the absolute best neurologist that I have ever had. She always takes the time to hear everything that you concerns you, she remembers me and my daughter every time that I see her. She is just fantastic. That being said, the office staff that you have to deal with over the phone is the worst. They are rude, interrupt you as you are talking, and very short with you while on the phone. It's such a shame because Dr. Yono is so fantastic.Jennifer Cady

I have had just one session of PT at Synergy Health and Wellness, but I walked out after my session this morning with a feeling of joy! I have had many sessions with physical therapists over the years for problems stemming from my spinal degenerative discs, but I have never experienced relief on a first visit. I am looking forward to my next session with my therapist. I recommend this PT place without reservation. My evaluation with Dr. Voorhees was thorough which enabled my therapist to address my issues.Cathy Yonkers

My 1st experience with PT, the facility was clean and well lite, the staff are friendly and helpful, and my PT was exceptional. Kind, Compassionate and Competent, I came in with debilitating pain in my left shoulder and experienced positive and steady progress to where I have no to minimal discomfort. fully expect I will make a full recovery without shots or surgery as I maintain the exercise routines Betsy provided.frank paparella

I highly recommend Erika’s pilates classes. She is extremely knowledgeable, engaging, can rehab, stretch, and strengthen any part of your body. She takes a mind/body approach, goes above and beyond with personal attention, even within the class setting. If I do not take her Pilates classes every week, my arthritic back acts up. Erika helps her clients achieve their best self!Carrie Pipkin

I had a pinched nerve resulting in atrophy of my left side. Quality of life was fading. I was so fortunate that Cima-Health was recommended for my therapy and rehabilitation. I was seen first by Dr. Drake who analyzed my condition, my treatment was provided by Kim my licensed Physical Therapist and my adjustments were provided by Dr. Sparks. All of my treatments were provided one on one, this team of specialists were dedicated personally to me to give me back my life. Kim gave me exercises to release the nerve, but more importantly she showed me HOW to do the exercises properly so as to receive the greatest benefit and to avoid injury. Dr. Sparks works closely with Dr. Drake and Kim, he doesn't just walk in and give you an adjustment he carefully reviews what PT you have just had by Kim and, then gets your body ready for the adjustment that goes directly to your condition, then he proceeds. Dr. Drake then determines if treatments are effective parodically throughout your treatments. Most of all I can't believe how compassionate and caring all of these professional are, I had a team of Specialists dedicated solely to me. Does it get any better than that? If you really want to get better there is no other choice than Cima-Health in my opinion.MT KII

Dr. James Cima is an exceptional Chiropractor and very attentive to all my needs. He makes sure I receive expert care every visit and especially after my car accident. We are rehabilitating my body and I am confident Dr. James and his team will get me back to enjoying my life with my family and daily activities . He offers many options to heal the body from the inside out. I can confirm that Cima Health and the entire staff is top tier and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!Jessica Hirschenson

I have been going to PGA chiropractic for two years for physical therapy and adjustments. I cannot say enough good things. The PT’s there, Dr. Christine, Kim and Austin are all fantastic. They do myofascial release, Pilates, and soft tissue work in addition to exercise. The rooms are private. The office is very professional and well run. Dr. Sparks is great. If you are looking for an all in one place, go there!Sherry Eckstein

Good Morning Dr Hope, Michelle and Staff I wanted to make sure I got this message to you two as I wake him with such a comforting thought of my mom‘s progress! I'm so grateful and thankful for Hope Wellness and your staff! In just three visits I am seeing a change in my mom's countenance and physical dexterity‼️ I'm a firm believer in supporting friends, family Brothers and Sisters in Christ and church members in their business! But what's more important is supporting businesses that really provides PROVEN RESULTS‼️ From the front of the house to the back of the house it has been an amazing experience for both of us! I see the foundation that you built and obviously your love and light shining through your staff by example! I knew the first visit with Alan and my mom that there's no other place for her to be then with Hope Wellness! Alan addressed my mom's three goals and I know without a shadow of a doubt she's on her way to accomplishing them! I can't give one shout out because everyone that we've encountered during our visits are remarkable‼️ I do have to give a little special one to Alan, he is so good with my mom and it warms my heart! I don't trust my mom with too many people but I could leave her without a doubt for a day and know that she'll come back better and stronger in the her emotional and physical being‼️ Who would've ever thought I would connect with Dr. Hope after 30 something years and in this environment …….God's World‼️ 😂🙏😇Teresa A Hudson-Smelser

I had a wonderful first visit here with Dr Jeff and Donald, in Stuart. They immediately made me feel welcomed and cared for, which was such a beautiful feeling after visiting other offices in the area and being treated like “just another number.” When you go here.. you are treated with dignity and CARE. Dr Jeff is not only very knowledgeable and highly experienced, but he has more than that. He is truly GENUINE and caring, and it shows in everything he does in the way he treats his patients. I feel very blessed that I happened to find this office, and am looking forward to continuing my treatment plan. I can not thank them enough!Jennifer Bartu

I love the staff here. Tony, Alen and Ro are a great team. I love that it's not just a chiropractic office. I've seen both Dr. Sara and Dr. Hope… love them both but Dr. Sara is more approachable and personal. At their facility, you get physical therapy and chiro… and a 30 minute massage if you schedule one. It's really about your whole body not just where you were injured. After all.. everything in your body is connected.chella jacques

I had the best experience at True Compassion Urgent Care today. My father was in excruciating pain due to an ear ache and the staff took care of him with exceptional diligence. They made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Dr. Arafat was especially loving & caring and showed 100% concern about his condition. It goes without saying that they took care of his situation accordingly and took steps to ensure his followup treatment was addressed. Leo and the entire staff made our experience enjoyable and easy. Also, the front desk Medical Assistant was very courteous. Thank you very much & keep up the good work. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone and anyone.DP CB

This place is new. Take advantage of the truly compassionate care and attention from a husband / wife team for whom nothing is too much trouble. It felt like I was chatting to friends of the family. They took care of me, tried to get me out of pain & ordered an x ray. Knowledgeable and professional people work here. Can be hard to find but once you see the number on the building, know that they’re up on the 3 rd floor – although you can call and speak to an actual human if you’re struggling to locate. I had made two attempts at finding UC when I found them this Saturday… It was so refreshing to walk into a friendly office.C Ward

By far best urgent care/dr visits I have been to! I didn’t have a primary doctor set up yet and had a very concerning medical condition pop up out of nowhere. They have great hours of operation cutting down on my time I had to miss work, and they did everything they could for me until I was able to establish a primary doctor. Daniel also went above and beyond making phone calls trying to help find specialist who took my insurance. All the staff including the doctors are extremely caring and nice. I wish other doctor experiences were half as good as what its like to be seen here!Mira Lee

I was very disappointed with my visit with Michelle, i had fallen and had hip xrays ok but given advise i have a calcified aorta, see my primary dr , it took begging to get a dr, pa or anyone to see me for ultra sound for my aorta, given app for months ahead, i have severe a-fib and pain and, pounding, i had to beg to get app as soon as possible and finally i was given a app further to travel but i took it, i brought my xrays, my personal records of meds and treatments i got the altra sound and asked to talk to dr, pa or someone after the altra sound of my condition, in Stuart so many changes of dr's, pa's no one seems to give personal care there anymore, i asked to wait in tradition to talk to someone they said i couldnt wait they would call me..i went to my car and rested and got a call, come back in three hours..i did and then seen Michelle, she GLANCED at my chart, my paperwork of my personal records she seemed no interest then and in saying you have had a-fib for years now, yes..i said yes and told her i was taken off meds for it by dr amy long time ago and have no idea what to do of the pain.she then told me when i asked what i could take or do for my severe condition now she stated ..WELL WE DONT DO ANYTHING FOR ONES OVER 80 YEARS OLD AND YOU ARE OVER THAT NOW!! i have done research on my a-fib and aorta condition and see THERE ARE SEVERAL CHOICES OF TREATMENT, she gave me a med (metroprolol) to slower my heart saying you will have to take this forever now. and said lower my Xarelto to 15.like go away nothing we can do for you, she wrote down; when i asked what further can i do..wrote note i have a appointment for end of Dec for echo..jan for seeing dr Amy..like nothing for now!!! how this office is now treating long time patients is very sad!! calling is a recording, then we'll call you in two hours, then app into future when i'm having pain now, issues so No Michelle has no interest in long time patients or our care if we are over 80..sad to say like go away and wait to die Beverly…I am a widow and very sad of this condition and treatment with the office since dr Bradley, Amy or Cheryl used to treat me.i know many changes now after covid, dr's, nurses, all left etc but where or who can we go to that care with treatment when we are in pain or suffering Beverly ShieldsBeverly Shields

The office was bright, clean and comfortable. But more importantly the staff was wonderful. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who immediately made me comfortable. After a not very long wait I was called into the back and had the nicest nurse who again made me comfortable. Again not a long wait I was fortunate enough to meet Blair. She was thorough Friendly and took the time to listen to me. Because I am the worlds most impatient person the fact that everything was completed in a timely fashion and professionallyLorraine Binder

Easy to make the appointment. Check in and check out were easy and the staff was friendly and professional. The Nurse/Assistant was excellent and now it gets better, Dr McManus is a great Cardiologist and a great human as well. Answers questions while not talking down at you and also is not afraid to spend whatever time it takes. Highly recommend!Joseph Sofia

Truly the most wonderful facility. Dr Durkin is such an amazing doctor and made me feel so good about myself and my experience. My nurse went above and beyond to make me feel safe and comforted. She was absolutely wonderful. I cannot sing her praise enough. Dr Durkin and his staff deserve all the stars in the world. The compassion they showed me was remarkable. I had a breast reduction after years of being insecure and in pain and I am so incredibly excited to see my final results. I just left my first post-op appointment and I am already so pleased with my results. I’d give them a thousand stars if I could.Shaelyn Wintz

A friend highly recommended Dr. Durkin, and I'm glad I listened to her. Within minutes of my consultation, I knew he was the surgeon for me! Dr. Durkin was professional and personable. I was instantly at ease with his upbeat personality and sense of humor. His entire staff was exceptional from my consult to my post-op appointment. In addition, the facility is impeccably clean with a tranquil atmosphere. I can't say enough about my positive experience and the top-notch care I received at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. Thank you Dr. Durkin and Staff!Cheryl Diedolf

I recently had a facial laser procedure performed by Nick, followed up with a facial by Miranda and a complete body scrub with Molly and my skin looks amazing! I really appreciate that Dr. Durkin and the rest of the team took the time to ask a lot of questions beforehand to ensure that I was selecting the best procedures for my desired results both currently and in the future. I would highly recommend Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery, especially if you’re like me and just dipping your toe in the cosmetic procedure waters.Missie

Where do I start…I typically do not write reviews, however I know how difficult it is to find excellent medical care. My experience with Dr. Salcedo and his office was so on point and above all expectations. I made an appointment to bring my teenage son to him after noticing my son was dragging his right foot. In short I was able to obtain an appointment in the same week, the registration process was streamlined and easy. The visit to the office was under strict preventative measures to protect the patients against Covid-19, which I was very pleased to see. The best part of the visit was my interaction with the staff and Dr. Salcedo himself. The staff was pleasant in all manners and Dr. Salcedo was so thorough in his explanation of my son's situation. I would recommend this office to anyone that needs great podiatry care. I don't believe you will have any regrets. Thank you for your expertise Dr. Salcedo and helping me to obtain the best treatment for my son.Meesh Shell

What a wonderful experience! I appreciated Dr. Salcedo's honesty and professionalism! He was able to pin point my problem, treat it, and I was off and running. I also appreciated his wonderful staff. They are a delight and taking extra precautions to make sure that their office is sanitized. The extra step to meeting you at the door and directing you to the room where Dr. Salcedo will examine you made you feel they were going above and beyond. I will be back again with any other foot problem I may have. Well done to Dr. Salcedo and his wonderful staff!Mary Pines

I absolutely enjoyed every single moment in this office even the removal of the ingrown toenail. Dr. Salcedo is also a runner as I am and we were able to connect on our experiences. He is also hilarious with jokes! Definitely put my mind at ease as needles are not my favorite thing. The front office staff was very friendly and helpful. The office was very clean! I definitely will return to the office for my podiatry needs, I understand why they are a five-star facility.Stefanie Delcid

Wow. It's amazing how great I'm doing everyone has been very helpful and great scences of urgency. Dr Wexler and the MRI team too. I went to PT yesterday Brian was great.Excited for my recovery, but the receptionist at The PT desk was so rude and very aggressive for no reason!! I watched her she was that way with everyone. No one was complaining but we are spending alot of money and need relief from.pain and she is all about the money collecting and her tone is rude I asked her about co pay she knew nothing but she needed to collect $75. I reached out to my insurance while I was waiting for therapy and they gave it to me in 5 sec. She said she has to charge me until she hears back I got a response in 5sec. My ins covered 30 visits at 90%.. She needs to approach us in a kind tone. Or get a new job..it's a shame everyone has been great. She harassed every client for money before PT.Catherine Francis

Never again. This was one of the worst experience. I was seen for a hip and lower back issue by Melissa Estes. She could not be bothered to speak to me. Not only did I have to wait 20 minutes in a room alone but I asked several times if she was the right doctor I needed to see for my issues. She barely asked any questions or acknowledged what I was telling her. She did not care about past history. It was uncomfortable just how silent she was and that she didn’t even acknowledge me. She planned on referring me out to 3 other doctors and physical therapy. The physical therapy at this office was also a joke. The icing on top of the cake was I asked for my images and then went to get a second opinion. Surprise they gave me a blank cd with no images. They could not even do that right. No help whatsoever. Never even got a diagnosis for Melissa Estes. Avoid this place.Brittany Miller

Getting the appointment & checking in was all good. However seeing Melisa Estes for the appointment was a horrible experience to say the least. First she would not let me in with my son, then she put down the chiropractor care & physical therapy that he has received as pointless. Then went on to diminish the pain & problem he is having as no big deal even though he’s been suffering since May. My son is a college athlete & though he is not bed ridden, he can function for the most part but not without pain. Although he is not able to play baseball. Finally as my son was trying to explain & express himself she wasn’t really listening as if he’s not important. So in conclusion she was of no help, not sympathetic to his situation, brushed him off, so basically useless and demeaning. I do not recommend being a patient of Melisa EstesJoEllyn Espinal

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

It exceeded my expectation not only is it a beautiful facility and the staff at the front desk extremely helpful even when the computers were down they never missed a beat they were all very professional. My doctor amber rose Morro and her assistant both were awesome very caring and kept me informed on what they were doing to remove the glass from my foot. Dr. Morro and her assistant Sandra worked well as a team. I look forward to my follow up in two weeks, Dr. Morro is my new favorite doctor..thank you 😎🙏🏻Raymond Holtzclaw

I was very pleased with My experience with Dr. Amber, Mora. The staff was very Kind. And Dr. Mora was incredibly knowledgeable, accurate, and kind.

Dr. Morra and her staff have been excellent during my surgery, recovery, and checkups. My ankle is stronger than ever now and the pain I was experiencing is no more. Highly recommend Dr. Morra, and her staff. The physical therapist are great!Scotty Wilson
