20 Best Radiology Programs In Jacksonville, FL (2022 Updated)

I sent my residency information two weeks ago and nothing is in my file! Classes start today but I can’t start because they have tuition as out of state. Also they had to have my JU transcripts as if the credits transferred because of a policy. I’m no longer going to this school. It’s bootleg and ghetto. They are slow about admissions process and don’t reach out about what we need. Even in the student portal there’s nothing that said I needed anything or that my residency information wasn’t received!No Name

Online school at Saint Johns river state is especially a scam but all the saint johns state college schools are trash. Online classes besides a select few are all run through third party sources in which u have to pay hundreds for on top of the already pricey classes in which the teachers do not do a single thing but wait for weeks after to grade assignments that aren’t auto graded by bots it’s crazy almost like these online teachers have a passive incomeVan Rippon

So far they've been able to help me with every problem I've had. I've only taken a few classes so far, but all of my professors have been great. Especially my Spanish professor, Dr. Gil makes learning so much fun. I would highly reccomend this professor if you decide to take Spanish to fulfill your language requirements.Caleb Kulpa

This University is not a safe place to send your child if you care about them and their safety. I spent two semesters living on campus, my freshman year and they were the worst months of my life; communal bathrooms are not clean, things are broken often and do not get fixed, and security cameras are few and far between. The campus itself is not in a good neighborhood, which is a common fear of most people. Administration has done nothing to make the campus safer, there are not any cameras in parking lots, the cameras in the municipal parking garage do not work, and people are able to walk on to campus even if they do not attend the school. Young children steal student's bikes in broad daylight and grown adults walk onto the campus as well. The cafeteria food is not good and the staff is 99.9% of the time very rude, and you may get a plate of food thrown at you even if you are polite. I have witnessed people be served raw chicken, romaine lettuce when there was an E. coli outbreak, and also contract E. coli. The Bursar's office constantly removed and added money to my account saying one day I owed X amount of dollars and then one day I owed Y amount of dollars, and whenever I asked why my balance fluctuated during the semester, they had no answer. Financial aid is not easy to deal with especially if your family makes a mid-range income. If you household income is low or very high, do not expect to pay a lot per year. The social environment is like high school: judgmental and everyone stays in their own "clique" The only reason I will give this "university" a 2-star review is because the professor's do care about you and your success. They will work with you, and help you when need be. Every professor I had only wanted their students to succeed, and nothing else (with the exception of a woman who just had graduated from college and did not know the subject which she was teaching).Ashlynne Donovan

This school is one of the best veteran friendly schools in the U.S. currently we are in the top 100, we even have our own USO sponsored lounge called the defenders den where we can be around fellow veterans. The classes here are incredible and the professors genuinely care and thrive off interaction. You will not become another gear in the chain at this university, also the campus even though small is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been to other schools and I am sincerely proud to finish my degree at an institution that values their Veteran population.Kostantinos Efstathiou

The worst school ever! I did a year at JU and lived on campus! there is nothing to do! You will be bored out of your mind if you are from the north. The staff was unhelpful, and forget about getting any extra financial help. I come from a one parent house hold and my mom lost her job I went into the aid office to see if they can help me with any extra aid and all they could offer was goods from the food pantry. What a jokeAlexandria Wilson

I attended the phlebotomy course here at Cambridge. Heidi was very pleasant, she helped me understand the courses and enroll in the one that made the most since for me. Dr Tobias was my instructor, he was very knowledgeable, engaging, and took the time to make sure that we fully understood the course material. Mrs Pam popped in to assist when we started doing live sticks and that helped us all feel more confident. Renae works in the library and she wad helpful in setting up my card key and national technical honor society. Also just any questions we had about the school process she was able to answer. Mr Gabriel randomly popped in so many times just to say hi and make sure we all were comfortable and had everything we needed.. Then there was Theresa and Carmen who taught us how to interview well and helped us with our resumes. Theresa had many many connections for job placement, in fact I was hired on at adventhealth within the first week of my graduation. I hadn't even taken my NHA yet. Theresa and Carmen were constantly following up with me and them and helping in any way they could. I passed the course and the NHA with an exceptionally high grade and felt very confident in interviewing for my new role. The point of this very long review is that they are a family there and you will have a very strong support team at literally every step of your journey with them. Thanks Cambridge family for everything!Mona Tanner

I was very excited to attend Cambridge , spoke with Heidi to get everything started . I came in for orientation , signed all documents for them to get paid .I paid my admissions fee . A day before my start date I was called to tell me I wasn’t able to start school due to not being accepted in the school . So I’m confused on to why would you have to sign Paperwork just for her to call me and say I cannot start school so and that mindset that showed me that the school only cared about money I just getting their admission numbers accurate. This was the end January 6th . I went Multiple Times in January February to get my $50 admission fee back I was told on several occasions that I was not able to get it back I spoke to the Director of a school which assured me that I will get my $50 back back where they did not follow protocol by making sure I was able to go to the school before they had me sign all of the information.Heidi is very rude and only cares about numbers which is very unacceptable,she pretends to care about her job and making sure everything goes well but in reality she did nothing to help me . Still didn’t receive anything and still going on circles ! I’m not pleased or happy about even trying attend this school .ashanti deshazo

I’m a former student at Cambridge in the Altamonte location, I was in the MA program and I just wanna say they are an amazing school. Starting off with the administration staff, there very respectful and make the whole process as smoothly as possible. As far as my instructor Pamela Gyce she has nearly 30 years of experience in the field. It was a pleasure being in her class, she makes sure the class is on the same page. There is no favoritism whether you’re old or young she treats everyone with the most respect. She’s more than just an instructor Mrs.Gyce will always motivate and encourage you, if you have a goal she will do her best to help you reach it. Very professional and heart warming lady. Cambridge is the place to be.Justin Pinto

I am certain that higher education provides tools to be competitive for the future.Med Academy has helped me to meet my professional goals, I enrolled in 2015 to gain my MRI certification while working as an ultrasound tech. I had a great experience with the academy and would strongly recommend to anybody looking to continue their education in an accredited school in the diagnostic medical field with class fitted schedules. Also had a great experience with Juan Revuelta he is a genuine and talented program director always willing to help prepare their students for the board exam but also with key knowledge to work in the field.Leismary Hernandez

If someone out there is looking for a school to have a career in the medical field I strongly recommend Med Academy. Excellent service all through. The facility and staff are very welcoming and nice, it was an awesome experience to be part of that school and thanks to them I been an MRI tech at Jackson memorial hospital for 13 years. Thank you so much for your help Mr. Revuelta I will never for get it.Engelbert Fuentes

I studied MRI, they prepare me very well for the board exam. They help me find a job, I had an incredible experience in my education there. They are professional and knowledgeable, I'll recommend it to everyone. Juan Revuelta is a great mentor. The influence of a good teacher can never be erased. Thank you MED AcademyIbis Lu

I've been calling about the associate in nursing program for a while. I always either get a voicemail or an unsuccessful transfer attempt. Very rarely do people call back. When they do, I get a crumb of relevant information, a promise to follow up, and then I can't get ahold of them again. I tried to get my transcripts evaluated, was told that FSCJ's anatomy and physiology credits most likely wouldn't be accepted because Fortis' anatomy and physiology classes are 6 credits each whereas FSCJ's are only 4. But the advisor assured me that my other general education credits should transfer. However, based on the same logic, my general education classes also wouldn't be accepted because they are 3 credit classes whereas Fortis' are 4-5 credits. None of this is confirmed of course since they never return my calls or emails about the transcript evaluation. This is a NATIONALLY accredited school. This means regionally accreditated schools (like University of North Florida), likely won't accept their credits. You will likely have to retake your general education credits if you decide to further your education. This is based on personal experience with nationally accredited institutions. And yes, every school has their own credit evaluation requirements and each school, whether regionally accredited or nationally accredited, can accept or decline credits as they are fit. However, this is especially important to consider when going from nationally accredited to regionally accredited schools. Keep this in mind before you spend $50-55k on an associate's degree here. That is what the associate degree in nursing program at this campus costs. I say this because they make it so hard to find that information online and you have to play phone tag with them to get an appointment scheduled to EVENTUALLY get this question answered. I had high hopes for this school, but it's been disappointment after disappointment and I haven't even started in the program. Schools, like everyone, want to make a good first impression but if this is their best, then I've seen enough.Katherine Eggers

I am so sorry to hear that others have had such a bad experience with this School. I can only speak for myself. My experience at Fortis College has changed my life. I was hired right off of my Externship and have been at my job since 2015. I learned a lot at Fortis and not one time have I had an issue educational or personal that I felt that the staff at Fortis did not hear and help me with……Every Teacher that I had was eager to step in and give me the extra push that I needed and I felt it was from the heart not about how much money the school could get. I now have Career not a job. I was chosen because Fortis College comes highly recommended at a lot of Employers Human Resource offices. If anyone has had a bad experience I am so sorry that you feel this way….but I myself never seen anything that couldn't be worked out at this school. As a matter of fact I am going back for my Nursing and I am excited because it is a smaller school and I feel that I will get all the help that I need to succeed. Yes I am a real person, I was not paid nor coached to make this post. It is from my heart.catherine mercer

I am so pleased to have been a Fortis College student. From the President, Directors, Instructors to the staff have displayed great care about each of the students, in a very professional and informative manner. Each teacher has taken the time to understand the individual needs of the student, matches that with how the student learns best and truly cares about the students. This makes the learning environment flexible and adaptive. The school is large, clean, and following Covid protocol and this is important for me, they observe discipline, they know how to find an approach to each student. Overall excellent school and I would highly recommend Fortis College to all the students searching for a good school!Julie Chipp

They wasted my time with multiple calls and insurance verification, and weeks of figuring out if any department would want to take me. They made it clear they would only send me to one department and they would not look at all the symptoms together only ones related to a single department. They called this morning to say my insurance will go through but that no department except neurology would want to see me. They sent me to neuro to get scheduled and neurology told me they do not have any available appointments. Not now, not ever. No wait list. Simply never can get me scheduled was the answer. So they woke me up to tell waste my time and tell me they can and then cannot see me ever. They said you need a diagnosis to get in. I said they market themselves as helping identify mystery diagnosis’, and she said “we do help identify mystery illnesses, but we require a confirmed diagnosis to get in.” Huh? That makes zero sense at all. If I could figure out what was happening to my body I wouldn’t need to travel to Florida for help finding answers. Waste of hopes and time. I feel misled by the marketing about the Mayo Clinic being caring and inviting. This was a worse experience than a regular dismissive clinic. Literally, they reject you altogether. Not as altruistic as they appear i guess. And they gave me this news on Halloween. Happy Halloween, nobody cares or will ever help! Getting help is like applying to Ivy League school with everything working against you. Way to cause psychological harm and hopelessness Mayo. Thanks for that.G L

I just returned from 3 days at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I have never experienced such an efficient, caring, friendly, professional and comprehensive care giving environment. I was blown away. I must have had close to 15 appointments/procedures while I was there and every single one was on time, staffed by the most genuinely friendly and professional staff. Every single staff member listened – and I mean REALLY listened, to my questions and concerns. The mobile portal provide by the Clinic was superb and was “command central” for the 3 days. Results that have historically taken weeks, if not months, to receive from other clinics and doctors were literally available within hours. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I can think of several so-called customer service organizations that need to take a page out of the Mayo Clinic’s book on how to treat people with sincerity, care, compassion and a genuine concern for them as individuals.Simon Crawford-Welch

I find just about everything they do to be excellent. And, they wisely do not try to do everything. The campus is not far from Jacksonville and is a lovely setting as are all of the buildings, pleasant and you don't really mind waiting for an appointment. That may be one of the nicest things actually, that I have almost never had to wait and I've had more than six dozen appointments here! How's that for respecting your time! Of course they are respectful of your time so you have to be respectful of theirs; if you were late by more than 15 minutes, it's not a good thing.Daniele Giovannucci

I found this office, on the Southside, via Google and reviews. Thanking all who posted as I am very pleased with the service provided. I chose not to post until after my surgery on 2/14/22. Initial office visit: I was extremely nervous and Dr. Kuznia spent time with me explaining in detail what my current gum health was and the steps that would be taken to make them healthier. I was given a plan for care and the cost. Pre-op/surgery Necessary info provided for the best outcome. I sat with a Jamie and she outlined everything in great detail. Prescriptions were given to me at this time to fill before surgery. Payment was made at this time. Day of surgery Staff and Dr. were ready and on time. Surgery went well. Performed with mild sedation. I don’t remember the surgery but afterwards, get this….no pain!!! I am serious. There was tenderness and swelling but for me, no pain afterwards! Post-op visit and cleaning. All went well. I had my cleaning today and it was thorough and painless! The hygienist, Breze, was great! Professional, personable and courteous. I highly recommend! Maria M.Maria M

This morning I had my 6 months check up after my implants surgery. I have to say, I can't tell which side the work was done on. It feels so natural and I now eats lots of apples. Also,.The hygienist Aindara was just awesome. She gave me a great cleaning and tips for flossing those back teeth. She's a keeper. Thank you. The entire staffs there are always very prepared and professional. I am very very glad I did the implants.Rufus J Scatliffe

As usual my recent treatment from the entire staff was excellent. Ms. Bianco provided me with outstanding treatment for my periodontal maintenance session. She was very meticulous and knowledgeable , always explaining in detail the condition of my teeth and recommending remediation for corrective surgery. . She took as much time as needed to ensure that nothing was overlooked .anthony rufo

Made an appointment with Dr Madden. She saw me and asked for some old records. I had the records sent to her office and had been waiting for a call for another appointment. After 5 weeks I called her office asking to make another appointment in hopes that she could help me with the problem I wad having with my hand. Was told that they couldn't schedule another appointment until Dr Madden reviewed the old records. They said they had put in another message to Dr Madden asking her to please review my records. I waited 72 hours for a call back and had gotten no response. I just called again and waited 20 minutes again to talk to a scheduler asking to make an appointment with Dr Madden. Was told that I couldn't make an appointment without Dr Maddens approval. JOI does not have any regard for my time or the pain I'm in. Will look for another Dr that does not appear to be such a gods gift to humanity.Richard Cook

After being referred by my primary physician for lower back pain I hoped to get nerve ablation injections to help. Physical therapy seemed to be helping until something new in the routine caused my pain to become very severe. Found out they neglected to call me to schedule promised injections weeks ago. Just now found out that my promised Rx’s were never called in to my pharmacy. Still in severe pain after 3 days. Their staff is apparently too large and dysfunctional to help every patient. As highly rated as they are, there are some of us who fall through the cracks! Disappointed to say the least.Glenn Ivie

I would give 0 stars if I could… doctor told me that my son needed an MRI, but then didn't put in the order and I to call multiple times to get that done, now after 2 weeks of getting the MRI, calling the office, leaving messages…still nothing, Jacksonville Orthopedic seems more like a corporation than a medical practice, they care more about the revolving door of people than actual giving care! My son has a torn ACL, yet I can't get a call back!!Desiree Beardeaux

I came into the office and was greeted by pleasant staff who answered my questions and explained everything perfectly. Once I got to the back Mike took care of me. He asked the medical history and safety questions, made sure I understood what to expect and made sure I didn't have any questions and that I was comfortable. Exam didnt take long and he had my disk ready for me to take with me in no time. Great visit. I'll be back if I ever need another MRI.Murlena Williams

Sperry fast service. I showed up 3 minutes late and was worried I'd be rescheduled but I wasn't. Had me sign consent paperwork and hippa paperwork and called me right to the back within less then 5 minutes. The tech who did my scan was nice and respectful. Gentle and precise. Best place I've had a renal scan done at in a long long time. Will definitely request to go here for any future scans. Bravo service!!Corrine Pope

I had an appointment for an annual wellness imaging at Akumin on Hwy 17 in Fleming Island. The staff at the desk was very pleasant, efficient and helpful. The imaging staff was also very efficient, friendly and professional. I have been here several times, and always have a good experience. I highly recommend Akumin ImagingSusan Hampton

READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY TO THE LPN PROGRAM I am making this post because I don’t want anyone else having to go into this Without knowing exactly what this program and school are like. 1. If you are expecting to pay for someone to actually teach you, this is not the place for you. The teachers here literally do not want to teach, probably because they have no idea how to. Only one of the actually cared, and when she lectured, we actually learned and had class discussions about the topics at hand. The rest would either A) split up part of a chapter and have the class make posters all day and then present to the class, B)split up a chapter (med surg chapters, so think disorders, nursing interventions, and meds, pretty important stuff that I don’t believe students who have no prior knowledge or experience should be teaching other students in the same class, isn’t that why the instructors are there for?) There were unfortunately very few times that we got a lecture. 2. The head teacher is a bully, and she likes to play favorites. Lord help you if you get on her bad side. Singles out students, makes fun of them, talks about them to OTHER STUDENTS behind their backs. Certain rules apply to certain students but not others because she likes them. If you end up enrolling, do not trust her. She likes to power trip. A lot. If she doesn’t get her way, she will play dirty till she does, and all the other teachers, including people above her seem scared of her for some reason. 3. Grades are messed with. If you do or say anything that upsets a certain someone, grades mysteriously suffer, and this isn’t just coming from student experience. People in the office warned us about her and the grades. 4. They are just as bad at teaching skills as they are lecturing. Complete disorganization. No demonstrations. We were told to read the book and figure it out. If we asked them a question, they would yell at us to look in the book. It was all in the book. The book was our teacher. Some students asked if they could please demonstrate for the class first and then have us practice, they would say no. “That’s not the way it works in the real world” or “no one is going to show you how to do this in the hospital, if you don’t know, you have to go and figure it out”. Yeeeaaa… pretty sure patients and their families don’t want you to “figure it out” at the hospital, but ok. 5. Speaking of skills, let’s talk about clinicals. So, you learned all these skills in class, and clinical is the time to get your hands dirty and reinforce the skills you learned, right? Nope! Can’t give shots, can’t pass med, can’t take vitals, can’t do anything, except practice CNA skills. We saw other nursing students from other schools get assigned to a nurse and do everything with the RN, but not us. We were not allowed to. 6. Although the school promotes itself as a “college”, expect to be treated like a middle schooler. While I do understand that there are dual enrollment students at the school (high schoolers), that is no reason to treat grown adult student like children. You will be talked down to. A LOT. Literally no respect whatsoever. Sometimes you even forget that you are an adult in this place. Valencia and Seminole also have dual enrollment, and everyone is treated in a professional manner, regardless of your age, so that is no excuse. 7. Let’s talk pharmacology. Very important in nursing. We never ever ever EVER had a single pharmacology lecture. AT ALL! Never! All we got were packets. That’s it. So that pharm class on your class schedule, forget about it. Doesn’t exist. The meds we did learn, we learned in the med surg chapters. That was the extent of our exposure to pharm. I wanted to write this so other people know exactly what they are getting into, because I wish I had known, so I could have made an informed decision (run!!!) There was so very little information available, and had I known about the toxic environment that I would be getting myself into, I would have never ever gone to this “college”.Flo Nighting

If I could give them a zero star I would!! DO NOT I repeat DO NOT waste your time with this school !!! it's a JOKE. The staff downstairs are a whole bunch of liars and have no ideas what they are talking about half of the time. I took accounting with a teacher that is not certified to teach! she does nothing but sit on her computer and look at houses all day. when I registered for this school I was told that I will have an professor that will actually teach me accounting and go over everything with me. We teach our self! EVERYTHING we do is ONLINE!!! but they want you to sit here for 900 hours!!! and it's doesn't matter if your child is sick or if you have court YOU HAVE TO MAKE ALL OF THE HOURS UP! so please don't waste you time. there is a similar school in the area that offer the same programs as this school. I wish I went there instead!!!Francisca Joseph

I am NEVER a person to leave feedback no matter how unprofessional one is . But this school is HORRIBLE &VERY unprofessional !! I applied for surgical tech and completed the paperwork & medical for this program back January 2021. In May I begin to email BOTH instructors over this program to see what date in August will I be able to start so after multiple emails and phone calls I was finally able to speak to front desk who advised me that they're still accepting people from 2019 for surgical .Why do they still have it open if their that backed up ??like I could have chose a different program.Then The instructor called me and said we don't have your paperwork on file and that I need to come back down to resubmit it. Like whatttt??? .Jah'Nyce Floyd

The two women running the MRI department were very nice and professional. Before I went to the emergency room, I was having back problems and when I tried to lay flat for MRI the pain was just unbearable!! They immediately put me back on the stretcher and notified my nurse that I would have to have medication before I could go through the MRI. Beyond anything I so appreciated that they realized how bad the pain was and did not try to talk me into laying on that table for 15 to 20 minutes without pain medication because there's no way I could have endured that kind of pain.Mary Long

Everyone I came in contact with there , from the Dr's to the nurses to the cleaning crew could not have been more caring or helpful. I spent 3 days there with some pretty serious surgery and was taken very well care of by all. This is the place to go for the best care..Marie Hulgan

Hubby admitted on an emergency basis, thrombectomy performed quickly. Neuro team waiting on us to arrive. Neuro ICU staff the best. Doctors and nurses saved his life. I'm so grateful.Mickie Bard

After being in the Academic (University level) / Medical arena for the past 21 years, Retired U.S. Air Force, 27 years ago.. Proton Therapy was the best treatment for my Prostate Cancer. Everyone at UFH, from the Security guard as you walk in the building, to the cleaning personnel, and all of the other staff members, doctors and nurses are the best any patient and or family member can ask to be cared for by…..They bring compassion and care in their hearts each day…..these are the strongest of the strongest to do what they do each day…I salute them all. And thank God for them being there for me and so many others….Peace and Blessings to all that are reading this post and don't hesitate to reach out to me.Lee Moultrie

I did a lot of research about treatments when I found I had prostate cancer at 61. This kind of news will change your world – or at least make you appreciate it more. Long story short, my research said Radiation vs surgery had fewer and less severe side effects. Proton therapy takes that a step further being more specific to the tumor and virtually NO side effects. Big thanks to Doctor Bill Mendenhall for saving my life. My PSA went from 18 to almost 0. A month or so after treatments I'm back to normal with no scars or potentially bad side effects. In return, I'm making a sizable donation to the hospital when I'm gone. I can't think of a better way to say, Thank You UFH!Mike Ingaglio

My experience at UF Proton Therapy Institute was very positive. I was treated for prostate cancer over a six week period. Dr. Bill Mendenhall was my Oncologist and Jayce was my nurse. Jayce was very helpful throughout the process providing reports, status and support keeping my wife and I well informed. The radiation therapist team was awesome. Kristi (who can sing almost any song ever written 😎), Sam, Bobby, and Elizabeth are always upbeat and very professional. I recommend the UF Proton Center for cancer radiation treatment if you want the best results.Allen Hyman

Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute is considered the premier practice for Orthopedic injuries and ailments in North East Florida. It is a comprehensive practice with the ability to treat all types of orthopedic issues. The physicians are highly rated and generally considered in the highest tier in training and results in each of their subspecialties in the region. Additionally, JOI has an outpatient rehabilitation center in the building. The staff are by and large quite friendly and helpful. At the front desk in the lobby, patients are greeted by cheerful, knowledgeable and efficient people. Help is offered to fill out the necessary paperwork if it is needed. This a large and busy medical practice. The lobby waiting room is large and occupied with many patients. In spite of the amount of people it is laid out to have a comfortable distance between people and not feel crowded. One will have to wait for an opening for an examination room, though it doesn't seem very long as they provide their services efficiently. The examination rooms appear to be clean and have ample space for the patient, caregiver, staff and physicians. There is more than one X-ray room in the office, so there was no waiting. After an acceptable period of time to wait for my physician to enter, he took an ample amount of time to examine, evaluate and explain options for treatment. Time was also allowed for all of the questions I had and the answers were well thought out and complete. Alternative treatments were discussed in depth. The time with my physician felt un-rushed and that he cared about me as a patient and a person. This type of bedside manner is somewhat uncommon for a busy surgeon. Overall the staffing in the office was excellent. From the receptionist to the Radiology Technologist they were cheerful and took effort to make me comfortable. As Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute is a busy and bustling medical surgical practice it took longer than expected to get an appointment. With multiple contacts from my primary care physician's office, an advocate from my insurance company, as well as hand delivery of all the required paperwork it took several weeks to get an appointment. The delay cost me time and pay from work as well extending the amount of time in pain. If I had a single simple injury without complications, my choice would not have been to wait for my primary care physician's recommendation and the most competent surgeon in the region. My overall impression of JOI was excellent. If you are in Northeast Florida and require the best, this is where you need to be seen and treated.Lee S

I'm one happy camper! The last quack doctor I saw 6 years ago said my slowly developing hip pain indicated I'd need replacement surgery in the near future. Since then the pain had worsened til I was willing to do anything to get relief. My new GP referred me to Dr. Hastings at JOI. He looked at my x-rays, explained to me what he saw & said all I needed was a cortisone shot to relieve the pain from a bursitis. Other than average arthritis for my age nothing is wrong with the joint. 15 minutes later I left his office completely pain free for the 1st time in years (well, at least in my hip). He said sometimes it's a permanent fix, but should at the very least last 4-6 months. I call him for another shot if & when the discomfort returns. Thank you, thank you. THANK YOU, Dr. Hastings.Lacy Fla

Was a new patient today for Dr Gould after an emergency room visit and I am so impressed with the staff and empathy I received, as they were doing me a favor by getting me in between surgeries. Now I know why everyone says they are the best. Thank you to Dr Gould’s assistant Josh as well who went above and beyond! Great teamLibby

I have been a patient at Brooks for over 3 years now. I started therapy for a knee injury and returned after a motorcycle accident. I have seen so many amazing therapists, some are no longer there including Greg, Jacquline, Aaron, and Brittany. My current therapists Riddhi and Regis are truly amazing I can certainly say they’ve changed my life for the better. Riddhi is an amazing Neuro physical therapist that has worked with me and my vestibular problems and she goes above and beyond. She’ll contact doctors offices for me and will even contact other therapists for input on my care. She pushes me beyond what I thought I could do but is also very receptive to any exercises I have a hard time with and is quick to change up my exercises if I’m having pain. Regis is truly amazing he is so knowledgeable about physical therapy as a whole. Whenever I would turn my head upwards I was passing out, this went on for a year and half, no doctors could figure out what was the cause and it was impacting my life. I couldn’t wash my hair without a shower chair, I couldn’t hang up my clothes, I couldn’t finish a soda. But during my evaluation with Regis he found the problem in literally a minute! We started working out the problem with incorporating massage therapy into my physical therapy plan and I haven’t passed out in months, I’m able to look up and move my neck around. He is also a therapist that goes above and beyond, and is very receptive to what I have to say. Brooks has been an amazing experience from the moment you walk into the door and are greeted by the amazing front desk team to the physical therapy received by any therapist. I will be continuing to go to Brooks for any future ailments.Karla Santiago

Never in a million years would I have thought that Speech therapy could impact my life significantly. My Speech therapy experience was unique, it began with meeting Ms. Cassady Watson, someone who took the time to identify with my speech concerns. I was diagnosed with VPI (Velo-pharyngeal insufficiency) a soft palate defect which causes hypernasal speech and liquid and food regurgitation. It has taken me 5 years for doctors to hear me about fixing this issue, and I thought meeting with Ms. Cassady was going to be another rejection session, but she proved me wrong. Ms. Watson heard me, she heard my defect, concerns, frustration and my ultimate need for surgery. She was willing to work with me before surgery and after surgery vouching for the fact that surgery needed to be done. With her vouching that surgery would be necessary, she opened the door for me to have an early surgery date within the same month and ever since surgery my voice has snapped back as if it were never impaired. I love Ms. Cassady so much and I recommend her to anyone needing speech therapy, she sees beyond the exercises and routines, she seeks to change your life and that is exactly what she's done for me.Ja'Nya Johnson

I've been taken my son to Healthcare Plaza for almost a year now. If I could give them 100 🌟 I would. I have no complaints from PT with therapist Luke and Riddhi, OT therapist Shanika,Ramona(Mona), Leanne and occasionally Lizbeth. For speech Daunte sees Cynthia and Cassady occasionally Lindsey. He loves them all always looking forward to therapy. Always making it fun and not boring but still continuing to challenge him. We love it. Daunte is now more independent can walk with a walker wish before he couldn't and can communicate wish he also could not do before. If in need of therapy I recommend this place to everyone.Yahaira Spruill

First seen Dr.Fleshier about 2 years ago, had to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy procedure done to find out what was going on with me, every visit had to explain the whole case back to the doctor as if it was the first time meeting him there were two visits then the procedure then two more visits. Was told they found polyps and asthma of the throat and that I was luck because if I wait till the age where I was to have it checked I could be dead. Fast forward till now I call to schedule an appointment like I was told to do two years later because of the polyps only to be told they will schedule the colonoscopy then have an office visit then schedule the endoscopy then another visit ( which makes no sense at all) I tried to explain that the previous experience was already horrible and I did not want to see that doctor again ( they have hundreds) and that I am a patient already and that's what they did before sice I was already going to be doing the colonoscopy to have the endoscopy at the same time like before. The lady schedule the procedure seemed to not grasp what I was asking with out the extra visits and delays. It is just a money grab from me and the insurance which when I called them are OK with paying the procedure twice. My time is hard to come by being a father of four I need to do this so I can stick around for my baby's. Borland grover if I have to make extra appointments to come see a doctor who I already don't want to see I will find a new doctor who is not affiliated with your business, and probably be treated like a person and not a number.Steven Dohm

I tried 4 ×'s calling your office to speak to a person, re. My appointment for 8/3 @ 1:00pm, I have been bed ridden for 2 weeks and wanted someone there to know that I am going to try to be there But if I didn't make it , WHY. I kept getting a recording someone would call . me back. NO CALL BACK!! I CALLED 2×'S AFTER CLOSING TIME TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, 6:30 , very rude person hang up on me, 2nd person, 6:40pm also NOT very patient It is No wonder you have such are terrible reviews, your people Not professional and don't know how to speak to someone who is expressing their sick and a new patient. Not looking forward to my visit!! I am adding to my complaint and the disrespectful way patient are treated. After the above conversation I had with Matty, who I found out works at home, Not the office, she told me I had a grace period of 15 minutes, I for there 2 minutes pass the grace period. I was so sick I couldn't stand the rude condescending receptionist to me I was late, I explained my first visit, I'm can't stand, she could care less. Another girl said you'll have to wait but the doctor will see you, this was 1:00pm, I was the last person in the whole office, they close the office, and see. 4 hrs later., in pain. No one ever came to me to offer me water or to ask, I was buckled down in the chair. The Dr. Was nice but no prescription for pain, I was given next appointment for September 28, What!! I be in the hospital or dead. What kind of medical place is this????Sophia

Borland Groover staff meet you with a smile and a friendly, "May I help you?" There was a short wait in line to check in, then a short wait for an exam room to open. Once in an exam room the wait was about 15 minutes. My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Brown. Doctor Brown was friendly with a little chat like, "How are you doing?" "Are you having any problems going to the bathroom?" etc. There was no physical exam on this visit. He went over the results of my recent colonoscopy and explained everything very clearly, making sure I understood what he was saying. My husband will go again in three (3) years and I will go again in five (5) years. We highly recommend Borland Groover for your next endoscopy and/or colonoscopy.Strands of Time Mary Johnson

I came to this group for assistance with my pain and to work on other ways to control it other than pain meds. I have been on meds for 20years and came in searching for other options. First and foremost, I had 3 visits with them and only saw the doctor the first visit, a PA the second and a nurse practitioner the 3rd, even after I requested to see the actual doctor. My doses were pretty high because after they had me do a genetic test my first visit, we found out my high doses were because I metabolize the one medication very quickly. Instead of looking into other meds that would require lower doses, the nurse practitioner decided to just cut my current doses in half which as you can imagine, is not the way to taper off meds. After she said the goal was to have me off the meds ASAP; I expressed my concerns that this was being too aggressive given my history. I asked if we could do things slower or use a medication that would work better at a lower dose, based off the tests they had done. She said no, they had to do it this way because they had to get me below a certain dosage by July 1 because of the state mandate for pain medication, which, by the way, does not pertain to chronic pain patients! I then asked to see the doctor and she walked out of the room to relay my requests to him and he would not step in to see me and the nurse practitioner said this was the only way they could do this. I then requested they note my file with my concerns. Here is the issue….this group did not take the time to get to know me, my history or care about the fact I reached out to them for other options. They were uncaring and more concerned about a mandate that did not have anything to do with me and were perfectly fine risking me having some pretty bad side effects from cutting my dosage in half with plans to do it again, instead of doing a slow taper or offer other options. If you are looking for real help, professionalism and caring, this group is not for you. I ended up with worse issues because of their lack of empathy or common sense for that matter! Thankfully, I have found a physician that has been working with me to figure out better ways to treat me with the information we now have regarding which medications work the best and the goal being less of it and eventually the goal is none of it. This physician is doing so in a manner that we are working as a team to make sure the changes we make don’t cause other issues and are of benefit to me. This group supposedly prides themselves on compassion, but the way i was treated did not show any. Again, I came to them for other treatment options and was very open to non-medication treatments, but to immediately make drastic changes before taking the time to get to know me or my concerns is just plain heartless. I would not recommend this group to anyone! Pain Management physicians should express some amount of empathy for patients that deal with chronic pain, especially those that are open to working hand in hand with them. It would be helpful to allow patients to actually see the physician when specifically requested when making the appointment. I requested the physician and not a nurse practitioner or PA and still saw the nurse practitioner, who was the one to make the drastic changes to my treatment plan.Suzan R

The present doctor here has an attitude problem. He told me that there will be a little bit pinch for my lower back and I told him it is okay because I am used to it by now and he told me it was his job to tell the patients. I was thinking okay. I think he is not a people oriented person. Then when I had the first injection, usually doctors tell me you did good. Not on this present doctor. He just went away without talking to me. (? Is he tired or what?) Today I told him he was an As_ho_e right to his face with another nurse. We were arguing about the renewal of my Handicap sticker and he said he doesn't give them to his patients. He said in his best interest to let people walk. What if the patient is in pain? What about the best interest of the patient? Do not go to see this doctor. I think he is good but he has an attitude problem. We were arguing and he just told me we are done. So I told him he is an As_ho_e. Maged Hamza is his name.Steve Fernandez

Shahwal, the office manager at this location has gone above and beyond to help me with several different items. She helped clarify procedures, straighten out my billing and made certain my medication was called in properly and on time. Every time I went in, she would be friendly, professional and available for all the questions I had. She even went out of her way to straighten out an issue when I thought it could not be solved. She saw the problem and proactively went on to assist me when I did not even know she would be working on my behalf! She is absolutely one of the best advocates in the medical field I have had. She seems to completely understand how difficult and anxiety provoking working with a chronic pain condition can be. She worked tirelessly and with the utmost kindness to take care of me and I feel a great amount of gratitude toward her. Thank you Shawal and the patients who get your time and attention are very lucky.Regina Hollingsworth

I had surgery in May with suspicious pathology. I was referred to MD Anderson shortly after for evaluation. My surgeon’s office had to contact the office several times for them to reach out to me to get scheduled. After four months, I finally heard from them. New patient paperwork was sent but I could not access it. Numerous emails back and forth. I asked to have the papers mailed. The employee insisted that I try again online. Still didn’t work. She sent it a third time and the link finally worked. I filled everything out which was time consuming. She then emails me a few days later insisting that I fill the information out. I explained that I did and she said she did not see it so could I do it again. I explained that I had asked for paper forms to be mailed and she never sent them. I insisted they be mailed. Meanwhile I’m still getting emails to say I need to fill them out electronically. Employee stated it was an automatic generated email. She stated she finally mailed the papers. My appointment is four days away and still no forms in the mail. It’s been such a horrible experience and I have not even seen a doctor yet. I’ve contacted my surgeon to see if I could be referred to Mayo instead. A patient’s first impression of a practice is through their office staff. My impression of this practice so far is not great. It’s unfortunate considering the scope of practice they are in. The doctors may be wonderful but I will not be dealing with this stress any longer to find out.Abbey Pomrenke

I had an appointment this morning at 7:15 am. I woke up early and followed the instructions but I got lost as I am not very familiar with the area. I did not have the number to call, only the number to make an appointment and when I called they were not available yet. When I finally got to the place it was already 7:27 am. They called the technical staff and they told the young man that I had to rescheduled, after so many difficulties. I ask the young man if there is no other space available after then I will wait. The representative asks the co-worker next to him how to find if there any open available. She answers the space in pink means available. He finds several after that one and next too, he calls to see if they can see me later and they say no. If I want to come today have to be in the afternoon around 2, from 7:30 having the availability they did not want to assist me. I came early to not be absent to my work I cannot a last minute time off. They showed little empathy to the need. When go there is to take an exam for health issue not for a joke or to pass the time, in addition to the financial responsibility to pay, the copayment. What matter to have a beauty istructure if the individuals working or serving staff representative of the institution have an ugly and deplorable attitude towards the services they should delight in offering. It was a disappointing experienceAnaid Leon

while the Dr care at MD is wonderful, the administrative nightmare of speaking with people in the appointment setting area is awful. First you have to call the main number and listen to a bunch of options and prompts, and when you finally get through to someone, they are not the appointment setting team, they are the go-between. They then have to put in a message to that team and then they have to call you back. This can take days. Then when they do finally call you back, heaven forbid you miss the call (like if you work during the day), they leave a message giving just the general number so you have to start the process all over again. Just going through this nonsense once again. Left them a message early this morning, it is now 4:45 pm, and no call back so I call again. The go-between team tells me that she checked the message left for the appointment setting team from early this morning, and they haven't even opened it yet. Nice. This is the team they have in place to deal with cancer patients trying to get an appointment to see a doctor??!!Ion *

The employees, the atmosphere, and the location make this college awesome. I learned more here through dual enrollment than I have in three years at the University of Florida. I've never experienced more caring faculty members; everyone from the professors to the advisors to the librarians work together to ensure that you are getting where you are supposed to go. A fantastic place for an authentic college experience with great classes and professors who legitimately care about your learning. Mr. Little (history), Mr. Vaccaro (English), and Mr. Wilson (math) are the triforce of education. Go Vikings!Veronica Humphries

I went to SJRSC and did the BLE program full time. I had great instructors and enjoyed the program from start to finish. I got the basics needed to start a career in law enforcement. The school prepared me for the SOCE and successfully completed all in 8.5 months. When covid hit it extended our time but everything was done to get us through safely and efficiently. If you want to start a career in law enforcement, definitely consider this school. There is part time day and night too, seems to help with those that need a little.bit more of a flexible schedule.Ronnie Lynn

Is this campus not pet friendly? I’ve seen signs everywhere about pets not being allowed. What’s up with that? Have a hard time supporting a supposedly higher learning facility that should offer progressive learning for folks to get ahead at a reasonable rate. Many other programs have great Veterinary education and support our four legged friends, especially for those who can’t afford service animals and realize the need for a pet to get them through the day. Shocking to see these signs and out dated policy. Not cool.Mano Nera

This was my first visit to Optimal Imaging on SR 210 for a mammogram and it won't be my last. I was very impressed with the personal care and attention I received from the front desk personnel to the imaging technician. Unlike previous experiences at other facilities, I didn't have to wait in a room with others, I had my own comfortable space (lovely pink decor!) and a short wait. The tech was obviously knowledgeable, very kind and professional. And before I left, I received a pink t-shirt, pink pen, and lip gloss! What a nice surprise!Nancy Smith

First time at this facility for a mammogram and a bone density scan. Bone density scan was easy-peasy. And then, the much dreaded mammogram, the last one I had in another state was horrible. So much so that I skipped 3 years. Well, Mary, my lab tech here made it much more pleasant. First off, the place is clean and professional. Mary is very gentle and clear with her instructions. She did not squeezed the hell out of me. Very minimal discomfort, over with quickly, and even got a free t-shirt and lip gloss. I'd recommend this place.Angel Kwan

A few days ago I had my first mammogram ever . I did not know what to expect I was very nervous. My radiology tech was Mary-what a wonderful person! She was very nice and patient with me as I had no clue what to do. She walked me all through from start to very end and what yo expect after. Very gentle person with my body. MARY You are the best! -Thank You Also the place itself is very clean and have wonderful staff and updated radio machines.Kashiek Sikorka

I took my wife to the ER here, as she had re-broken a rib and dislocated her hip, and was struggling to breathe. The nurses were rude and the doctor was EXTREMELY rude. The doctor did not evaluate my wife for more than 15 seconds, sent her to imagining 4 hours later. They did not even offer an ice pack for the pain in her chest, I had to go to the ice machine to get her a bag of ice MYSELF. Then the doctor came back after my wife had her imaging done hours before and said it does not look broken and discharged her with NO explanation as to why my wife was unable to breathe properly and was in excruciating pain. This place is worse than Memorial Hospital for actually treating emergent situations. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY OTHER ER BESIDES BAPTIST SOUTH, THIS PLACE IS A JOKE FOR HEALTHCARE. And if this is an example of “healthcare”, then we could have found a warehouse in downtown Jacksonville with an illegal clinic that would have provided better “healthcare”. GO TO MAYO CLINIC, NEVER BAPTIST SOUTH.Larry Carroll

Sick care not health care and the hospital overall is great with 1 exception radiology reading. I have had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed 12 years ago because of PCOS but in the reports from CT scans "uterus and ovaries appear normal" I guess they grew back. Very angering after having a CT scan report corrected 2 years ago and again now another CT scan report says uterus and ovaries are normal.** Radiology responded and has been very kind in getting all Radiology that I have had done re-read. The "Reading Room" is where the films are reviewed by the medical doctors and they write the report of findings. I am hopeful for more accurate readings for not just me, all patients deserve a correct medical record, something I will always fight for. Thank You Baptist South Radiology reading room for reassessment of my Radiology films, with my multiple diagnosises I do require precise as possible readings.Melanie L Barrett

Been here for literally 6 hours. Still have not been seen. They should have informed me of this when I checked in….I would have gone somewhere else. Now I have 6 hours invested. Probably won't be back, even though my previous 2 visits here were pretty good. *Update. I left after waiting 10 hours. Never got treated. Was xrayed and my vitals taken. I just received a bill today for 962 dollars for treatment I never received. My insurance has already paid a large portion of it. I just notified them they paid for treatment I never received. Been on hold now with Baptist for half an hour.Jill DeLisle
