20 Best Radiology Programs In Boston, MA (2022 Updated)

I took the CNA ‘Plus’ programme there back in October 2021. For $2395 we never got a clinical! And the facilities and equipment provided were unbelievable! One mannequin with its leg falling out and not even a proper night gown to keep it from being exposed! Sheets were dirty! Equipment faulty, and now we are STILL waiting to take our state licensure exams! If you’re taking the CNA programme, do not take the “plus part” it is a waste of money and time. The instructor is very compassionate and hardworking and honestly the reason why I kept on going. Otherwise, it’s just a money grabAaliyah Davis

State Street U is amazing. I attended 22 years ago and stopped by for the first time since then and I was amazed to find, updated buildings, a beautiful store, and a whole new feel. The professors and professionals were mostly great when I was there and though I don't attend, I had a chance to talk to administrators and they are still amazing. It is a fantastic education at a great price. If you are looking for a great community college, look no further than STCC. I'm proud my children and family are attending to make their lives better.Paul Goodchild Ph.D., CPA

Great school with the absolute best teachers. Mr. Crowley, my English teacher, was really amazing and reignited my love for writing. It also offers great programs, like the student ambassador program, that really lets you get more involved in the school activities, and allows you to make the most of your experience at STCC.Rebecca Lasky

I work here as staff and find the working environment pretty good. My bosses have been good, my coworkers are dependable, and the students seem well behaved and conscientious (most of the time). The new buildings are nice, and the harbor walk is kind of amazing, and the beach is very chill. Good luck finding a place as tranquil anywhere else near the city. There is however one small con and one big con.. the small con is that there aren't that many places to eat and Sodexo runs all the food on campus, and their attempts at ethnic foods are sad. And the aforementioned big con is that there is no less than 3 buildings being built on this tight peninsula right now, and one huge building that was taken down over the year I've been here.. the construction is a mess. Though the new, finished buildings, like the science complex, are great. But if you can take the T somehow, as I do, this place is fantastic.Mikhail M. Nitko

UMASS Boston has a Beautiful campus on the waterfront! It is building two Brand new buildings as student housing with a dinning hall on the first floor, overlooking the Boston harbor with a million dollar view. UMASS Boston has a collaborative research program with Dana Farber Cancer Institute that students can be a part of. I love the new Integrated science center, incubating many New exciting NIH sponsored science research studies. It is an exciting time for UMASS Boston which has a new chancellor with generous scholarship. Chancellor merit scholarship will allow students to get world class education for free.Khuong Nguyen

I am a student here at UMB, the professors are great. The administration is bureaucratic and inefficient and lacks transparency on any basic level. Parking here is dependent upon arrival time. If you get here at 10:20 good luck finding a space in bayside, probably will have to park at the globe. Clinical placement sites for Nursing are good, labs are good, the school is constantly under construction and areas are always being blocked off. Parking will soon cost between 9-15 dollars a day according to emails from the uni. So it’s alright but the university is slowly draining the life of its commuters.Bill Whitney

Roxbury Community College is a top community college in Boston with accessible instructors who are devoted to their students learning and mastery of the subjects. It is more important to learn the foundations than be pressured and focusing on competition for grades at some notable colleges in the area. I am also interested in furthering my writing career for children and young adults by the Children's Literature course. And courses on Images of African Americans in the media. I am applying to an MFA program in creative writing at Spaulding University and need letters of recommendation. I hope to get a tv show on Nickelodeon. This will help. I might take Linux computer programming or Java II. I plan to enroll in Biology I Biology II at BHCC. There is an Energy class. If I have time I will take this on Saturday mornings. I also plan to take Organic Chemistry and apply to medical school using computerized anatomy coursework. I am considering taking Arabic language classes here. I am also going to read the book on legal document preparation. I do not have time to take everything, so I can read the book and keep improving being self taught is important. I start a dishwasher job at a major sports arena complex in the evening and will work weekends, so I have time!Kelly Moy

Absolutely not. I know rocks that can gain more intelligence in a lifetime compared to the amount of anything you'll gain here. They don't even offer flexible tutoring hours for students employed by the school. What? are you kidding? Say its a conflict of interest. A conflict of who's interest? Cause its truly conflicting the interest to learn when you cant make a buck and get help with academics at the same time. Highly unprofessional staff, hand to God I thought they were common transients you pass by in hallways and streets. Also the graduation rate there is half past depressing and that alone is a reflection of the interests the professors have in teaching a community anything college related. Also is a reflection of the effortless clowns that frequent the facility still nostalgic about their high school days. Do NOT waste your time especially if you have SENSE and SCENTS. I'm 100% positive that those who gave this 5 stars and commented that they graduated have all ended up in a career working with MBTA. Oh yeah, and I'm not from Boston. That's how you know theres some truth to that statement alone.Anjre Kipp

Please be aware of this college. Worst college in USA. Took money out from Income Tax return without even attending any class. Please be very aware before you visit this college or sign any papers.My wife went there to check about the courses they provide and see the college. She never went to that college again and never did any class. After couple of months we received a bill that we owe money. Called the college and the front desk said that you have to talk with the billing department. They told us that you have to come to the college and sign the paper. My wife told that her foot is broken and she have 4 kids so that is why she cannot come. She Also told them that she will send doctor and hospital note that she cannot drive.They hung up the phone on her. She sent so many email and calls but no reply. Spoke with billing department that I really need that money for my kids. They guy I spoke said that i can not return the money. Spoke with HR department and they said that we only handle our employees department. Asked them about the dean and they hang up the phone. They don't deserve any star.Amit Talwar

Went here during 2013-2014 for my associates in marketing, its an alright college. Tho my only bad points I remember from this is the intern job finder guy was really rude and I had other people who told me they had him too and he was rude to them as well. another bad point was one of the class counselors who made me take an unnecessary course and told me if i didn't take it i wouldn't get my degree only to find out that they lied and i didn't need to take that course (no refunds of course). Last bad point I remember was one of the job counselors who said they would help me find a job pretty much ghosted me after our first meeting. They gave such a wonderful speech about how I was going to get a lot of help finding a job and that i wouldn't be disappointed. well disappointment city here i came first class. total ghosted and never heard from after the second week of trying to talk to them. gave up trying to finding a job threw here. otherwise its an alright place but seriously have enough parking places that people taking classes here and no teacher saved parking spots for teachers who arent even there and we can see are sitting empty for most if not the entire day. Edit to respond to the owner: Sorry but I will not be using your "job finding services". After the first guy Matt Coulter if i remember his name right, was really rude and pretty much did absolutely NOTHING to help me when I had a problem with my internship. Then the job helper person I got to help me find a full time job litterly GHOSTED me, IE: never returning any phone calls, emails and was never there even tho I told they were there on the days they would be in, on 3 separate occasions I wasted my time trying to meet someone who just happened to "not" be there. Sorry your place litterly had two chances to help me and all i got was nothing but rudeness and nothingness. Have a nice dayAlex Brown

This place was the worst college to go to. The counselors don't really help you. They just sign you up for any course they can just so they can quickly boot you out the door not caring to help you find classes for your major or even find a major at all. For the Danvers campus in particular, it's a very snobby, predominately white(and prejudice), unfriendly atmosphere. A lot of them also flow over to the Lynn campus so they bring their snobby attitudes there. The students are worse than the instructors though the instructors can be pretty stuck up themselves. That's just the type of community Danvers is. You will find most of the people who have the edge at this school AND of course speak highly of it are the predominantly white population. I took a Bio 101 class once, and the instructor said in front of the class that blacks usually don't do well because they come from a poor background and lack proper education. It really is not a good place to get your education. Also, a lot of classes they have wont transfer to another college such as their Bio 101 course. You may not know that, but be sure the classes you take are transferable. Be sure to follow up on Rate My Professors website to know if you have a good instructor or not otherwise it's a hit or miss on having a great successful academic year or not. The staff can be very unfriendly on the phone or in person when you go to any of their offices. When you attend this school, you better have direction on what you want to do because No one there is really going to help you unless you have a really good instructor. I transferred out to a better community college and it was one of the best choices I've ever made.Maximum Achievement

I have done four semesters at NSCC in the Criminal Justice program over the past two years. North Shore was a decent place for me to start my college education, as I feel like going to a full-fedged State University for four years is a massive scam and waste of money. Professor Koshivas and D'Agastino were great and I learned a great deal in their classes. The Danvers campus is very clean and modern and much nicer than the Lynn campus, which gave me the feeling of being in a dirty train tunnel. My issues with the school pertain to its administration. I had multiple issues when enrolling for classes during each semester. It seemed like no matter what some piece of paperwork would be lost. Once they even lost proof of one of my scholarships, luckily I had copies. When it came time to cut the check for the semester there would always be an issue with the amount. Sometimes we overpaid, sometimes we underpaid, it was as though they never got the final amount right on the first try. It was frusturating to deal with. Another issue I had was with the WiFi in the school. I would be in the library during the period between classes on my laptop trying to get work done, only to find the connection suddenly stopped and I could no longer connect to the internet. Some days were worse than others with this, it was very unpredictable as to when it would work and when it would not. I won't end up graduating from North Shore as of right now as I'm going the military route instead. However, there are some very good professors at this school, just be prepared to deal with a mediocre administrative department if you decide that North Shore is for you.Millard Fillmore

Most of the bad reviews are coming from people who had ONE bad experience at like the book store or whatever or i gEt tHiEr aDs oN hUlu, though the veteran who shared his story probably has a decent case to make. Anyway I got a business degree from this college and if you actually try you can do really really well here, with great professors and programs like the honors program which gives high level learning at bottom dollar, and wonderful faculty like the folks at PTK, disability services, or the Fuller Center. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to work on regarding graduation rates, the food, no one card system, etc but I couldn't give this place anything less than 5 stars because of all of the wonderful people who give 110% here, especially in those departments I mentioned. If you live in Worcester don't spend 30k a year to go to Assumption, you'll save so much money to come here. Seek opportunity, study for your tests, respect your professors and faculty, and most importantly, do your damn homework; I guarantee you'll be a success at this place if you do all of these things.Clark Kent

The qcc "police" are some of the most unqualified and unempathetic people in the area. There is no doubt they have no training, no expertise in law and zero idea of what they are doing. Maybe they should take some courses while they work their jobs at qcc in criminal justice. Maybe they can get a handle on their jobs. Maybe they should take some training courses with the state police. If they do already, Maybe they should pay attention.Last First

This is an awesome school and I am so disappointed that one teacher ruined it all for me. DO NOT take Professor Jane Joyce accounting classes or any classes from her. She is awful and not a good teacher in general. You will waist your money, time, and probably want to rip your hair out when she talks. I have been at this school for about two years now and never have I come across a teacher like her.Lindsay Vigliotti

Harvard is one of the most prestigious universities in the World and every one wishes to visit it once in a life time. I had this chance to go there and walk around this beautiful institute. The good thing is that it is open for all and everyone could go around and visit. I saw many tourists there enjoying walking and taking photos. The good thing which I liked was that seeing people doing Yoga in the open space and in nature. I liked that and participated with them in yoga. A must visit place if you are in Boston or around.Salim Khoso

It was nice walking around Harvard university . I would recommend either taking a guided tour or to download and follow the self guided tour so you understand the history behind the university. I loved the library and the story behind it. Unfortunately wasn’t able to go inside but would have loved to. There is small water splash where I think kids can play had we planned better and known about it.Meghna Rao

Great place and one of the oldest & finest universities in the world. This is a dream place for some students. This institute is very inspiring and admiring. The Widener library is well established. Massachusetts Hall is one of the oldest buildings. Harvard Yard is very amazing to look around. The university has a great history and great heights touched.Hari Swaroop

I have to be honest about this. Good college when it comes to campus design, some Professor's teaching skills, and assistance for school related issues. Although, the school teaches bad ethics. For example, sports lack discipline. They will teach there athletes to run score boards up. Up by 20 in a basketball game with 3mins to go, they will shoot more three point shots than Steve Kerr. The most alarming thing is faculty will participate in Hazing students. I've watch this with my own two eyes. Call them out on it, and they will just deny it, at least my professor did. I am currently a student there, who help form a club, in order to help students get there basic needs to become a successful student. So just remember, good campus design, some Professors have good teaching styles, good for resources, but terrible place to learn good ethics. To me learning good ethics and applying them is one of the most important, or the most important thing to learn as a student. Would not be the first school I would want to send my child to. Bunker Hill Community College, you need to become a better school. It starts with you faculty.Jason Brown

My alma mater which will always be in my heart till it stop beating (that might sound too dramatic) but hey that’s the truth! I learned a lot, got tons of experiences, got so many American and International friends, exchanged culture and collected precious moments in this place. I really miss the college, my friends, the clubs, the library, single stop, the cafeteria and most importantly I miss my coordinator when I was in a scholarship Program and of course I really miss the professors. They’re all the best!Jean Rahmadan

I do recommend this college as an affordable and easy starting point but be ready to encounter many hurdles in your way and a lot of incompetent staff. Make sure to double check everything you do here, especially the financial aid part. The professors are nice but it’s on you to actually learn the material, the professors rarely will make sure you learned anything. It’s a 3 star college. Great diversity of people, BUT absolutely no political diversity, if you’re a radical leftist, you’ll love this college.Roberto R

It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review but I am in hopes of MCPHS revising their admissions process for the Physician Assistant Program. I know that I was not the only student this year that was invited to interview and then closed out of an interview spot and placed on a waiting list. When I contacted MCPHS they told me that I may not get to interview after all as they had accidentally invited too many people to interview and did not have the resources to open up more interview dates even though acceptances are not on a rolling basis. How does a top tier medical university not have the resources to interview all the students they invited? By choosing to interview solely the people that happened to secure spots first, not only are they limiting the potential of their incoming class and proving that they only care about filling the spots for monetary reasons, but they are limiting the future of numerous successful students who worked hard to get an interview invitation. When I asked Jordan Hunt (admissions counselor) to make sense of this she was unable to provide a competent answer besides that the university messed up and the incoming students are the ones facing the repercussions. I’m not writing this for myself, but for the other students who were too timid to speak up or who had chosen this school as their top choice and then got screwed. I truly feel bad for some of the other incoming students who do not have other options and were relying on MCPHS. I am very disappointed. MCPHS either needs to change their interviewing process to rolling acceptances (interviewing the top tier students first and then going down the line) or they need to use this model but be willing to open up more dates in case of overflow. Side note: They informed me that students on the waiting list could be notified up to a day before an interview that a spot had opened up. Do they not take into consideration that everyone doesn’t live near Boston or works full-time? Extremely dissatisfied with this supposedly “top tier” medical college.Maddy Frank

Hey guys, good for all the students giving great remarks. I don't know if the school has paid you. I must say i was in the nursing program , ( the set that started 2005) the teachers were very bad. Everything was very difficult, out of 50 students that got into the nursing program only 15 students or even less that graduated from the program. Judy Murphy was very racist, no room for improvement. It was a very bad school. I will recommend another school any day any time as matter off fact the school needs to refund money back to students that paid for tuition. All they care about is your money and not the students. It was a very traumatic experience. It was one of the worst decision i have ever made in life to attend that college. I Owe up to 100,000 in debt with no nursing degree to show for. I thank the Almighty God i got my degree from another school with no stress or frustration. Guys open your eyes and look for another school. I wish you all luck in your careers endeavors.louisa ngige

I just finished my second-year in PharmD program in MCPHS. I’m gonna transfer to Worcester to study the accelerated program. I have had great time in MCPHS so far. All professors are very nice and friendly. I haven’t met any professor who’s not willing to help student wholeheartedly. They always have office hours to answer students’ inquiries and to clarify the lecture in case the students don’t understand. There are absolutely no discrimination in MCPHS. It’s all about respect. Every MCP student is very welcoming so we have a very close-knit community in MCP. The program is well-designed and bearable. Sometime I feel overwhelmed but it’s not impossible to pass as many people say. You just need to put time and effort and you’ll be fine. In short, MCPHS is a great university for those who seriously pursuit a professional career in pharmacy and health sciences.Bill Nguyen

6/29/22 my Husband and I just arrived at this medical center . They have parking valet and self park. From hotel to here a lot of winding roads can be a bit confusing . Thank Christ we found our way to Dana Faber. You need to wear mask at all times. Their mask is first class tho . first floor you get your name tag and asked pre-screening COVID question . Then you go on the second floor for check in and lab services . So far everyone we have encounter that work here is five service. Found a nice little chapel , alway make sure in the chapel or not that you pray specially in places like this . Pray in the name of Jesus that is the name above all names .Marilyn MC

Some of the best doctors in the world are right here at Dana Farber. They are caring, compassionate & knowledgeable. Dr. Rubinson made my husband feel like he was his only patient. He was always honest & open to my husband's thoughts & suggestions. My mom is currently being treated & Dr. McCleary is a ray of light in a pretty dark time. As an employee it's difficult hearing some of the stories, but it lightens the heart knowing you are part of a team that puts the patient first, they don't just treat the disease they treat the whole patient mind, body & soul.Tonya Tate

Great doctors, but the term "appointment" is used quite loosely here. Waiting 45 – 75min past my appointment time to see my oncologist or to receive treatment is the norm. Once the front desk attendant didn't check me in properly so I sat in the waiting room for 1hr before asking the front desk for an update, only to find out I was never checked in and my doc was wondering why I was so late! Once you finally make it into the exam room, the doctors are very kind and empathetic, and consider your quality of life when making treatment decisions.Charlotte Hyland

The nursing staff in Plymouth BID Hospital in the ER DEPT is is despicable. They are the most unprofessional and uncaring nurses I’ve ever come across. Then I had to be transferred to BID hospital in Boston and it has been no better. Sitting here with vomit and unclean Johnnys for hours on end. Trying to get a .nurse to come to my room waiting up to an hour and 45 minutes for someone to come to my room. My IV came out of my arm and it took 45 minutes for a nurse to come and help me. Thank god I was able to stop the bleeding myself from IV. What if I was an Elderly person and didn’t know to apply pressure to my arm so that my vein would stop bleeding. These are just a few examples of why this hospital starting staff should be overhauled and retrained. If you don’t want to be a nurse then don’t take on the position I realize it’s a lot of work and it’s demanding and it’s hard with the overwhelming amount of people with Covid and that are sick but if you can’t treat your patient with respect and dignity and care and compassion then you don’t belong in this field. It’s an absolute shame that I’ve had this experience today is September 24 I’ve been here for several days I have run across a few good nurses yes but the overwhelming amount of disrespect in and care for the patient in this hospital is not acceptable.Kim White

I recommend that you do not go here if you are seeking gender affirmation surgery. My friend received bottom surgery at Beth Israel last year, and she received top notch care! However, this year the surgery department has become overwhelmed. They had an incompetent secretary (who has since left) who didn’t even correctly schedule me for my consultation. Surgeon showed me a portfolio that was not his work. I had 2 scheduled surgeries this summer that were canceled because the office could not get through to my insurance. When I requested to pay out-of-pocket for the costs that were not covered, I received no response. I then requested that they rescind my authorization so I can seek surgery somewhere else (at this point, 8 months of my time had been wasted). A month after I told Beth Israel that I was done, I received a notification that I was scheduled for a surgery. I reached out and the office let me know that they scheduled me so that I can still be considered for surgery. I let them know I was uninterested. Most devastating experience of my life, put me much farther behind when I had already been trying to get top surgery for YEARS. Good surgeons here, but if you have Medicaid, you will likely never see them. Wish I could get back the time that was wasted.Erin Lynn

I had a biopsy and the pain made me extremely ill. I could not get up and or walk afterward I was dizzy. I told the gynecologist that preformed the the biopsy and she dismissed me and asked me to leave. I made it to the reception area flailing and yet again was met with what I can only describe as cruelty from the receptionist. I collapsed in the parking garage and was taken into the lobby by paramedics. I was in and out of consciousness listening to them repeating over and over, "we're losing her." Good times.kerry clancy

It is because of the care and attentiveness of the nurses at The Floating Hospital for Children that I myself became a nurse. Growing up having a biological illness is not easy at all. And trying to know yourself and who you are coping with an illness that is a part of you and will stay with you all your life is something that takes time to accept and live with. The care I received from my Primary Nurses and the other nursing staff throughout my childhood, the ups and the downs. And also the Child Life Specialists and the Playroom Teachers and Child Life Specialist Students made hospital stays not so bad, I looked forward being able to go to the Playroom when I was well enough to do so, play and recreation in the hospital and them coming to even visit me during the times I could not go to the Playroom to play, but spent time with me at the bedside and brought games, books and toys for me to play with!! I cannot begin to state the impact they made on my life in helping me. Now as an adult and as a nurse myself I see how much nurses, child life specialists and other health care professionals can touch one's life in ways they may never know. Sad to see this happen, but as time changes, and the world scene is changing the good memories are okay to hold on to, I wish to share with them a hope for a better future, where "No resident will say 'I am sick'" Isaiah 33:24 But because of the care they showed I continue to keep fighting with my God to contend to see a time where I can really give to them and share with them in a state of complete wellness, a life that will not have an ending that is sad or has to close for the sake of change, as the world will be in a state the Creator has always meant it to be. To The Floating Hospital for Children Nurses, Child Life Specialists and health care staff, Thank You.Doogie RN

After finally settling down back home I wanted to make sure I thanked the Angels that cared for my little Lily the days she was hospitalized. Nurse Sue (Susan) (and Katie who we only got to share a short time this time around) I could not put into appropriate words how fortunate and blessed I feel to have had the chance of meeting you. You are an exceptional person, the kindness you have shown Lily and I is way more than we could ever expect. I was so worried and frankly terrified about the procedure my daughter needed, and having you explain the entire process and also advocate for us really made it so much easier to cope. Although I hope to never have to see you in the hospital as a patient again, I do hope our paths due cross again and I'm able to get you a coffee and in some way return the kindness.Noelia Felix

I was at the floating for eighteen operations through the first five years of my life, I can not tell you how much the hospital and staff means to me. I was born in 1964 with myleomeningiseal spina bifida and I died three times in the operating table but due to God and the remarkable skill and care of the doctors and nurses I turned 54 in October. Thank you all so much, I truly love you all past, present and future and even though I now live in Virginia I still consider the floating my true home. Sincerely, Adele MaddenAdele Madden

This hospital has no regards for human lives. I must say I’ve met some incredible Doctors, NP…but some of these staff especially those that scheduled appointments needs to be reevaluate. I called for 2 weeks trying to schedule an appointment, left dozens of messages, with no success. I walked in, driving 40 min to schedule the appointment in person, 4 young women working the receptionist area all were preoccupied with their lashes and nails and how big they want their breasts to be. When one of them directed me to go to another, the other reply by saying “I am not available, miss you can just wait over there”. She was filling her nails while sitting on her desk. I pulled my phone and make another call to the department while I was being tossed from person to another, I stand there watching these ladies pick up only to hung up the phone slowly again. It took me ONE hour to schedule the appointment. Horrible people! Now I see why they immediately send a survey after a patient just visited. I only wish my doctors could work in a better institution than this terrible place that called itself a hospital! Use your insurance elsewhere, do some research before going there.Ali Roberts

Not a great hospital experience. Husband went into Emergency Department and had to get an appendectomy. The aftercare at the hospital was not great; he did not feel like the nurses or doctor were very attentive to his needs. For his follow-up appointment, the doctor was not at all familiar with his chart and kept trying to insinuate he was after opiods (he took exactly what was prescribed and didn't even get refills). It really did not instill any level of confidence in the staff. For example, the doctor asked why he was back for a checkup so soon, when they were the ones that setup the follow-up appointment date. Also, when I tried to call to get information after his surgery, nobody answered the main patient lines. When they finally did pick up and transfer me to the nurses station, I was hung up on multiple times. I was calling for about 2-3 hours and never got through. I finally got through, was told they'd call me back, and they never did. To sum it up, the picture of the exam room where he had his follow-up appointment is a pretty accurate representation of the experience he had. 🤮 If you haven't lost a limb, maybe drive to another hospital….Gina F

Due to the pandemic, there was a long wait to get my mammogram compared to other years where I could sometimes get it the same day I called for an appointment. So when I arrived, I was feeling a bit concerned that I was well beyond a year from my last mammogram. I should add I have no risk factors other than age and have never had breast cancer. Still I was worried. The technician who helped me was lovely and did her best to reassure me that the wait for me did not guarantee a higher risk of cancer. After I was done, she asked if I would like to stay and wait for my results as she, quite correctly, thought I might worry about my results until I received them. I appreciated her kindness and agreed to wait. The results showed no cancer and no changes from my previous image. I left very relieved and grateful for her kindness! My experience at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center for my mammogram was wonderful as usual! I have been going here for years and it is always a good experience!Lisa ScorzielloTaufiq

I've been coming to the dental school as a patient for several years. I started because after studying in England for several years the dentists they're had done a significant amount of damage to my teeth which meant a lot of restoration work back in the U.S. it started with a root canal that had to be redone that was done on England and got infected. My insurance was all used up for the year with one root canal and crown. Then they told me that another root canal was getting infected and this one also needed surgery, but my dental insurance was used up for the year and it would be months before the end of the year. But it was starting to hurt so this couldn't wait for months. Since I wouldn't be able to afford it without insurance, someone told me that it is much cheaper as a patient at the dental school at Tufts. I arranged for an appointment and became a patient and have been one for years. Due to it being a dental school, the appointments take a lot longer and are booked for 3 hour time slots (most times it may take less than that, sometimes though, it may need a little longer). Everything is double checked by a professor every step the way so no mistakes are ever made. Also being students they tend to be very cautious not to hurt you, whereas experienced dentists don't really care about your discomfort and just want to get the job finished. With a good dentist that can be a good thing as they will finish berry fast and not hurt you at all, but some dentists are not very good. This had never been an issue here. Every couple of years the student that I was assigned to graduates do a new student has to be assigned. The appointments might take longer, but the price even if they don't take your insurance can't be beat. If they do take your insurance, I would definitely use them. I'm glad I found this place.Chris “BostonGreekGeek” Vaxevanis

Great School, Great education- what more can you ask for? (Perhaps lower tuition but oftentimes in life, the best things need to be paid for.)Vahe Yacoubian

Very negative opinion about the office of Dr. James Bono of New England Baptist Hospital. On the recommendation from our neighbors who had a surgery in this hospital, we turned to the office of Dr. J.Bono for a consultation in regards to my wife’s right knee joint issues. 1. The office asked for a disk with a knee X-Ray. Later we got a call from the office – the disk is ‘broken’. Although, even to a person without any medical education, the degree of damage to the knee joint is clearly visible. (Before sending the disk to the office, I have looked at the picture). 2. They demanded to send a new disk. 3. Sent a new disk. Now it turned out that insurance was not suitable. Although, my wife has both Medicare and Masshealth insurance that covers most if not all the surgeries. My opinion. The hospital selects patients on grounds that are incomprehensible to me. Thus, in my opinion, claiming that this is an elite medical institution. And this does not in any way correspond to the information that you get acquainted with when describing the services of the hospital. Dear future patients, please be careful when choosing New England Baptist Hospital to treat your medical problems.Mikhail Korsunsky

I went there recently for extreme leg pain, referred there by my Pain Management doctor. I was excited when I finally got there. The Doctor, unnamed, I saw, for about 9 minutes, told me that my leg pain was coming from my hip, not my back and referred me to his Hip doctor. I did not believe him, I have been living with this pain for too long to think it was my hip, although I do have hip issues. So I asked my pain management doctor for another referral. He then sent me to Tufts Medical Center and set me up with Bostons best Neurosurgeon. That doctor told me he found the issue on my spine and gave me a 70% chance that he could fix it. He Fixed my leg pain, something that New England Baptist couldn't do. Tufts found a Bone spur pushing against my leg nerves. Thank you Dr Riesenburger at Tufts! You changed my life!Jim C

Feb 2 2022 was our second experience at New England Baptist Hospital. I’m an Rn in western MA and my husband has multiple issues with his joints and muscles due to a birth injury. This hospital gives impeccable care and safety to each patient. I don’t like the drive to Boston but they are so on top of everything it is the only place to go. My son had open heart surgery in Springfield and I could not convince him to go to Boston. He had terrible nursing care; ICU nurses with 4 fresh open heart patients. He literally almost stroked there when he was given too much epi and his BP was 280 over 210. At Baptist they keep their nurse patient ratios safe and DO NOT deviate from their standards. Kudos to NEBH and Dr James Narius. A heartfelt thank you to you all, Dale & Karyn PhilibotteKaryn Philibotte

If only all urgent care facilities in the area ran so smoothly! While their website points out that ‘walk-ins are always welcome’ I made an appointment online, as recommended, to minimize wait time. I uploaded all required information in advance, etc. When I arrived for my appointment they had all the information they needed and I think I waited less than 5 minutes before being called in. Excellent start! I was greeted by the medical assistant who took all the initial information, sample (covid test) and stats (BP, temp, etc). 15 minutes later the nurse practitioner came in to discuss the test results and explained next steps. There was no feeling rushed and she asked for and encouraged my questions. And then I was on my way. Quick—efficient—friendly—professional. Definitely 5 stars. I will not hesitate to go there again and will definitely recommend to others as well.GC CA

The office is always friendly and kind! Today especially i came in, the front desk person, was just amazing! There was a long wait so I was sitting listening to her interactions… every single phone call, walk-in random people coming …. She was amazing! I don’t think she gets acknowledged enough for how patient and efficient as she is! The medical assistant was quick, efficient, friendly and kind! And of course the NP, was just as Wonderful! They were short staffed and you can see they just fill in where they need it but they definitely don’t cut corners on patient care .Cassandra Long

I was so pleased with my experiences at AFC in Swampscott. I needed to go twice in one week for different concerns. Melanie Clark was my Doctor both times. She was extremely knowledgeable, competent and caring! Although busy the girls at the front desk are great at scheduling! Thank you to all for your concerns and care! It’s comforting to know you are there! Linda Rosenfield

Update: I have been working for 8 months as a dental assistant and they prepared me so much for it. I feel like they really taught us what to do for the actual day to day office environment and they really helped me. Of course the beginning when you start you still have to learn other things but I feel like I was so prepared because of my teachers I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to become a dental assistant! I had initially put up a negative review because of a situation that turns out to be my misunderstanding, completely my fault for not waiting to speak in person because email sometimes there can be some miscommunication and that's completely my bad! Once I went in and spoke to them I realized I was completely wrong and I apologize profusely! So embarrassing that was all me. Clarissa and Onneita are like my little guardian angels! Idalia and Angelica as well! They have been amazing I could not be more happy and so grateful that I've had these people in my life building me up and helping me get to where I need to be. They work so hard on every single students behalf I don't know how they do it! Another part of the program I absolutely loved besides the staff is that it's all inclusive so basically you don't have to worry about coming out of pocket seperately for textbooks, for tests, uniforms, anything like and it helps take stress off of the process. I couldn't recommend this place more it's like you have this team that has your back and help you get through the process and make sure you're successful as possible.Kiley Bueler

Going to Lincoln Tech Somerville was the best decision. Just like many of you, Covid put me out of job and I needed to create a new game plan. The whole admission, Education and faculty are the best group of people I have ever met. I am a student currently wrapping up my dual certification program. From registration to scheduling the experience has been amazing. Everything that I learned online and on campus I have been able to put to to use in the field. All the instructors are the best. The medical industry is growing and they want smart, quick and talented individuals to join there team. Listen, Apply and discipline yourself, these folks will help you in everyway to finish your selected program, Graduate and find a job. You will challenged and pushed everyday. Don't wait for a pandemic to start a new career. Do it because its your calling to care for people. Thank you Lincoln Tech Somerville team for making my decision to go back to school an easy and worth it.Damian Knighton

I had a very good experience in Lincoln, everyone is so nice including Esther who received me with a very good attitude everyday, and the teachers are the best they will help you in everything at any time, you will be treated as a friend not a student which I can say made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. I can say that I enjoyed this program very much, I didn't even feel the 9 months I was in here. I completely recommend you join this program.Sonia Buenrostro

Absolutely outstanding service. Having two invasive surgeries in 6 months on the same shoulder area isn’t what I would call a great time. Dr Tim is beyond amazing with his in depth analysis of every problem and his willingness to work with the patient as opposed to working for. Anup, Carlene Siobhan are providing the best up front care possible. Entering into my second surgery in August I was beyond anxiety ridden but the entire staff and Dr Tim instilled confidence in me. I have had many emails and phone calls since February when I had my first surgery and I have never waited for more than a day for a reply. I have literally trusted my life to Dr Tim and the team twice in six months and wouldn’t hesitate to ever again. When a Dr calls to check on you while he’s on vacation with his family you can rest assured you’ve made the right choice. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff at OrthoBoston. Extremely highly recommended.Scott Hayes

Dr. Hartshorn is a great doctor in every regard. After 2 other shoulder specialists told me that the only possible treatment that could benefit me was total shoulder replacement surgery on both shoulders and that PRP therapy could not possibly help me, Dr. Hartshorn agreed to give PRP a try. It worked! It is now 9 months since my last treatment and I cannot stress too strongly how much better I feel. My pain is about 5% of what it was and I have much greater range of motion. Dr. Hartshorn took lots of time with me at every session and showed genuine concern. Dr. Hartshorn is a great guy and I will always be grateful for what he did for me.babablowfish

Thanks to Dr. Hartshorn and his staff I am well on my to a full recovery of a Bimalleolar ankle break. Very thorough in explaining my injury, treatment options and surgical procedures, and recovery milestones. I'm so thankful to have found Ortho Boston, beautiful clean office space, professional staff, and a great cup of ginger tea at every appointment to ease my anxiety. Dr. Hartshorn extraordinary, he followed up with me several times after surgery, and returned all my calls promptly and most of all expressed care and concern for all my pre and post op questions.Joy Banks

Louise is the best physical therapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I have fibromyalgia and a few areas of hypermobility. Louise takes into account my limitations without ever making me feel less-than. Her decades of expertise allow her to select the right exercises and provide modifications if things are too difficult for me at my current level. My body is thriving under her care! After less than two months, my overall pain is lower, and I've gained noticable muscle mass. Louise's energy is very good, and she knows how to keep my nervous system at ease, which is very important for keeping fibromyalgia pain low. I believe she truly cares about every patient and wants to help us improve our quality of life. I feel so incredibly lucky to be working with her that it's worth coming to BU from Dorchester twice a week. I truly believe Louise may be the best PT in the Boston area for complex patients like myself. In addition to Louise, I've had great experiences with the front desk and other staff, who are all warm and professional. I would give ten stars out of five of I could!Emily L.

I am so grateful for my outstanding experience at BUPTC. I worked with Chris Barucci and a BU DPT student named Simran. Both were so attentive, knowledgeable, and offered quality patient-centered care. They gave me numerous exercises that helped me heal from my lower back pain in 2 months. I am excited to continue doing the exercises they gave me, which are realistic to complete at home. They also gave me tips to make my work stations at work and home more comfortable, and those changes helped tremendously. I appreciated that Chris and Simran normalized pain and reminded me that my body's abilities and strengths will vary from day to day. They instilled in me a positive body image, which also reduced a lot of my anxiety. Finally, the front desk workers are super friendly and organized, the facility is clean with lots of equipment, and everyone working with his or her PT seems happy, and all the PTs seem so happy too! There is a general positive disposition at BUPTC. I would recommend BU PTC to anyone!Lucine Boloyan

Great staff and atmosphere. Staff ask about your life and hobbies and interests – you're not just a number or a miscellaneous patient. Lots of equipment options so you're not waiting around for someone else to wrap up. Clean facility and staff have adhere to COVID safety. I feel comfortable there and appreciate that each session is deliberately geared toward not just helping me recover but toward returning to the activities and goals I set at my intake. For example, I really want to get back to doing yoga so my PT advised me on different modifications as well as materials yoga mats can be made out of and helped me find one that won't slip on my wood floors at home. He even helped me find a retailer selling the brand I'd decided on so I knew what it looked like and how much it cost. Scheduling definitely can be tight so either your schedule needs to be flexible or you need to book out 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure you're getting the slots you want. Highly recommend!Kristen Hydinger

After not going to the dentist for 3 years due to pandemic and having babies, I’m so glad I chose Ace Dental for my first cleaning. Amazing and friendly service from the moment I called and talked to Lindsey and Joanne at the front desk to the moment I checked out after my cleaning. The front desk is not only very friendly but so helpful in figuring out prices, and dealing with insurances so you don’t have to. Ali not only gave me the best cleaning ever, she was also so friendly, detail oriented and knowledgeable in everything she was doing. Dr. Park was so friendly, efficient and knowledgeable as well. Will not only keep going back for my own dental needs but will also be making future appointments for my entire family. Would definitely recommend Ace Dental to any of my family and friends.Barbara Machado

Overall, I was so impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the pleasant, stress-free environment. My hygienist made me feel comfortable before and during my teeth cleaning experience. She was friendly, and she took the time to answer my questions and concerns in a positive and professional manner. She also explained each step during the cleaning process. I am happy to say she did an excellent job of cleaning my teeth. My teeth looks great, and I feel great!. Thanks Erin! The doctor that did my after cleaning evaluation further made me feel I had found the right dental service for my dental care.C Boykin

Had an emergency visit and was seen as quickly as possible. Was extremely nervous but was greeted and treated with professionalism like no other dentist I’ve visited. I was referred here and I would strongly refer others here as well. From the welcoming from the front desk to the ease of mind from the assistant I felt I belonged there. The doctor was excellent. Explained everything to me. Was extremely gentle and comforting. Thank you Dr Jun! I’ll be back!Frank Hill

The front desk staff was great, kind and was helpful. I made an appointment and unfortunately there was still an hour wait. The MA or whomever took my X-Ray, was very kind and showed a lot of empathy. I thought I had a broken bone and the NP was advising me NOT to have an X-Ray done. I also have a medical background and I am an athlete. I do know my body and my injuries. I insisted to be X-Rayed. I did not receive any diagnosis after. And in my discharge papers, I was referred to as a male instead of a female and was told not to drive when the injury was not to the right leg or foot. It was to the left which does not impact driving by any means. I am glad a radiologist will read my X-Ray because after being referred to as a male and the incorrect appendix, I don't know if they would properly read an x-ray by any means. I will never return to this location and will advise friends, family or anyone to avoid it as well.Cheri Giusto

I’m unable to rate the quality of the actual care here, because unfortunately I was turned away at the door. I was feeling faint and dizzy, having a hard time seeing and chewing. I tried to tell the woman at the front desk why I was coming in, and she immediately snapped at me and told me they couldn’t help me. Not to mention, their website claims they treat patients who are feeling sense of dizziness and headaches, which is exactly what I was going in for. The woman at the desk was dismissive and nasty. I don’t wish the defeat that I felt on anyone. Treating people with compassion and common decency ESPECIALLY in a medical office is at the base level. Won’t go back and don’t recommend you do the same.Destiny McSweeney

The staff at this location were helpful and professional, and helped to narrow in on some health concerns I am dealing with. I'm leaving a critical review here because they are clearly being assigned more appointments than they have staff to deal with. My appointment did not start until almost an hour and a half after the originally scheduled time, despite arriving early. During check-in, I was also uncomfortable with being pressured to sign documents based on a short verbal description of their contents. They offered to print them out when I expressed concern, but it feels like a better approach would be to have a screen displaying the documents next to the signature pad.Chris Drouin
