20 Best Radiology Programs In Kansas City, MO (2022 Updated)

The training I received at the school has served me well for the 40 years I have been in the military and in private practice. My training has been as good or better than docs from schools all over the country. I didn't know how well I was prepared until internship. I put my training up against interns from many MD and DO school and came out fine. I compete against docs from many school in my private practice and I have never been found wanting. My training was 40 years ago and it was great. I don't really know about the current training climate but I assume it is just as good as when I attended. The training one gets in any school is mostly the result of how well one works at it. All schools basically teach the same material.Dr. Aaron Barson (I Found Truth Publishing)

This place had a very nice dorms and a lot of places for people to be able to get plant-based option foods including a whole foods that is right around the corner pretty much on campus. They're swimming pools pretty awesome too when it unfolds in the summer to let the sunlight in. They do have some pretty big lecture classes they told us but other than that the class sizes are supposed to be fairly reasonable. Campus was clean but had a bit of construction going on. I love the soccer field and it was easy to see from several places on campus. Also get your picture taken by you cardboard cutout of KC kangaroo… Originally designed by Walt Disney.CMGeek

Great university with high standards. They work on the trimester schedule so go to school year round. It's a nice system to keep making progress. They are constantly improving their curriculum and adding new classes to meet needs. The buildings themselves are well maintained and easy to navigate. Overall great experience.Leah Lambart

This is the best Chiropractic care in the city. Everyone is kind and helpful, and a typical treatment cost is under $20. Does it work? Yes! I was sceptical at first, but after one treatment for really bad hip pain I saw a tremendous improvement. This is a pill-free alternative. Try it, all you have to lose is your pain.Bill Moran

You can get chiropractor treatment by their students and pay a very affordable price. With many insurances out there not paying for this type of treatment, it is a very nice option to have access to treatment, affordable and have students and their supervisors providing care In a very thorough way. Give it a try!Paulo Oliveira

Excellent care and personal attention always. After my initial cancer diagnosis in early 2021, I visited a few cancer treatment centers. Obviously this is a terrifying, life changing moment for anyone. Especially as we were in the midst of Covid 19 lockdowns. Choosing The Sarah Cannon Cancer Center at Research Hospital was an easy choice. My husband and I met with Dr Singh, his staff and the radiation team, from physicians to technicians. The time dedicated to us explaining treatment options, answering all questions, was so reassuring. Our decision was easily made that day. The entire team at Research is amazing from the daily front desk check-in staff to nurses, technicians, and follow-up appointment scheduling department. The comfort and support cannot be overstated. Now cancer free, I still see my team on a regular basis to insure my counts remain healthy. As you have certainly summarized, I highly recommend Research Hospital. At the very least, it’s worth the initial visit.Kathleen Fasone

From the reception staff to the pre op to post op They were spot on the whole time, I was the patient but they also made sure my wife and daughter were taking care of during my procedure. From questions I had that were simple to questions they had to search to find the answer no question was a bother to them. The OR staff was phenomenal also they made sure that I was in complete comfort before I was knocked out and actually took the time to make sure I was at ease. After the procedure the recovery team made sure I was taken care of also along with my family members. All the staff that interacted with me and my family from the start to discharge they’re concern was me. I can’t give them enough compliments as I was or can be the most difficult patient they had all day Thank you again Terry PiersonThe High Plains Drifter

The radiologist/surgeon and his assistant were awesome! They were both very informative and very nice, as well as caring and concerned. My experience with the 2…I have no complaints. The assistant came to the nurses station to get me, walked me back and when my appointment was over, he walked me to the door, to the parking lot. We even chatted about health afterwards and how to keep ourselves healthy. The ladies at the front desk, in radiology were exceptionally nice too. One of them called the assistant and asked if he wanted her to walk me back she was told no and that he’d come to get me. They took really good care of me. If I end up having this surgery, I know I’ll be in good hands. Thank you for the warm welcoming and being so informative. It was greatly appreciated.Ajuana Williams

I had a really good experience at Concorde. It changed my life a lot, I didn’t start at concorde first. I went to MCC just across the street from the campus and I honestly feel like it was a mistake to go there, feels like I wasted time and I did. I was going for the same career Medical Assistant and I was there for three years, not even learning the things I needed to become an MA. I loved that starting here I was learning and doing hands on. Which for me I learn best and I’m just glad where it has me now, I just finished externship and got offered a full time job where I’m at which is great. I just need to do the boards test and then graduation I finally feel like I am doing something in life.Stephanie Gonzalez

Hello, mine is not really a review/comment but more of a question (in which I will contact the college directly and ask) but I feel like if I post the question here, I would get more of an open objective answer and opinion, as calling the College, they could give me the perfect answer that I want to hear 🙂 How good/bad is the nursing program for adult learners? Does anyone have any experience of being in their 40's and going back to school? How difficult/easy/friendly and helpful was the school? Any honest answers will be greatly appreciated.

Concorde is a really great place, I would recommend anyone looking to start a career in dental, to start with Concorde. The instructors and coordinators are amazing people and they’ll make sure your experience is everything!Tia

Dr, Curry, with College Park Family Care of Lenexa, ordered a CT THORAX W/O DYE for me because of a black spot on the (R) Lung. The scheduler called me to set up a time & date and It was all set up nice and easy. I got a reminder call and got there as scheduled. You'll have a few papers to fill in and was called back in less than 20 minutes. They were busy but VERY ORGANIZED and although there were several people, nobody was waiting a long time. The tech really knew her stuff and explained what was going on & how long it should take and she was right. I highly suggest anyone who needs any type of X-Rays. CT Scans, MRIs, check this place out, you won't be waiting a long time, and the service is great. Good Luck.Mark Carson

I arrived for my sonogram a little ahead of my appointment and was promptly taken back for my procedure. The technician was polite and gave complete details during the procedure along with instructions about the follow-up appointment. The entire procedure took about 15 minutes and the staff was very accommodating and courteous. I was very pleased.Doug Wolford

I have been using College Park Imaging for my regular mammogram and DEXA scans for 15 years. They have always, and still do, provide excellent service. The technicians are wonderful. I have always had a very good experience and would not want to go anywhere else.polly rupp

Treated at the school today for a full comprehensive dental exam and it was by far one of the best cleanings I have ever had. Kaliah my hygienist student was exceptionally professional and efficient. I would not have known she was a a student. Awesome dental experience!!Michele Davis

Great instructors, advisors, faculty , and facility. Very accepting of non traditional students, Would recommend for anymore looking to begin a new career in healthcare.kyle ohrenberg

I used Radsource when I first opened my office, and they got me a great deal on a refurbished X-ray unit. Even though it is "refurbished", all the components are new and it is practically a brand new X-ray. Radsource also worked with my contractors to help lead the exam room walls, and they took care of all of the installation. Customer service is also very prompt. I've never had issues, but if I have questions I always get a response very quickly. I also use Radsource for buying my X-ray chemicals. I was in a pinch, and they got the chemicals to me when I needed them just recently. This company has been very easy to work with, and I have had nothing but great service. When I upgrade my X-ray to digital, I will be using Radsource because I know they will take good care of me.Tyler Nigus

They have some nice programs where you can earn a good sum of money and also offer internships. Grady, Makos, Bailey and Martin are especially helpful instructors. They can help you get on a good program and accept pell grants and other scholarships/grants.Angela Wheeler

I just want anyone to know that if you need a book for a class through MCC…do it through Amazon and don't waste your time here. I have one good thing only to say about this horribly incompetent bookstore; the ASSISTANT store manager is very nice. Other than that my whole experience through this bookstore has been the most infuriating of my life. I ordered a book online to be picked up at Maple Woods and got the usual "please want for a confirmation email saying that the book is ready for pickup before coming to the store, it may take up to 48 hours". The 48 hours past with no email, that's fine everyone gets backed up I'll wait for the email. However it was getting down to the wire and still no email. I was forced to buy a book online from Amazon to do my school work. Even this is fine, people make mistakes, there are glitches in the system all the time, no big deal. However, I'll be DAMNED if you think I'm letting this institution keep my $50 for NOTHING. I called the store to request a refund where I was met with my now archenemy. The store manager, Cheryl, is a rude, lying, and downright unprofessional woman who does not deserve to be running her own store. I'll spare everyone the horrific details, but long story short; I was directed to another store to ask about my refund after receiving nothing but contradicting attitude form her (she told me that you normally don't receive an email for picking up books and when I read the first confirmation email telling me to wait for the second pickup email she said well it would've sent I probably gave them the wrong email…if I gave the wrong email how would I have received and read the first one to you). Turns out she directed me to the wrong store and after everything was worked out between THREE different MCCKC bookstores when it only needed to be two, I was told I would get my refund. Fast forward another week and I still don't see it in my account. This is when I email the store and talk to the assistant manager who was sweet and really seemed like she cared. Out of all the people I talked to in this situation she was the most helpful and went out of her way to try to resolve the problem. But because she is the assistant manager, we had to go through Cheryl again and of course hit a huge, useless roadblock. Now they're telling me The deadline for refunds is over. HOLD ON A DAMN MINUTE. The only reason the deadline is exceeding is because I've been sent on a wild goose chase, ignored by at least two store managers, and been lied to about the fact that I would get my refund. Now they say they will only offer me a buyback, and everyone knows this means here's $5 for the book that you spent $50 on. To recap, don't waste your time here. They will lie to you, give you attitude, and overall I truly believe they're just scamming people out of their money. If I would give them negative stars, I would. I sincerely hope they see this and fix their ways but even more I want everyone else to see this and know that these people are not worth the headache. Move on and save yourself.Hannah Banks

I took several mid-level classes at, and through, Maple Woods campus. PRO: The bulk of my professors were good teachers and had interesting perspectives on their subjects and higher learning in general. The phone operators (truly!) are very knowledge and helpful. My Academic Adviser was wonderful. However… CON: DO NOT TAKE MATH FROM THIS COLLEGE! I REPEAT, DO NOT CONSIDER TAKING MATH FOR YOUR REAL WORLD FROM THIS COLLEGE UNLESS YOU ARE A MATH GENIUS WHO DOES NOT WANT TO CLEP OUT. There is no live teaching whatsoever, no interaction with fellow suffering students, no campus tutoring program [a knowledgeable person who can see your math equations on a shared screen]. It is you, on an island of mathematical despair, jumping from one unrelated (unless you want to become a professional gambler or a bank loan officer who opposes modern technology and prefers doing formulations by paper and pencil) "real life" topic to the next. The course is taken from a canned, pre-generated, computer automated program – without the benefit of the tools (Excel, graphing calculator, etc.) that the author of the text recommends and refers to throughout the course. It feels like being stuck in Oz, with no Glinda (department chair or student dean to hear your valid concerns) to help you escape or being in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy without a 42.Hommy

I decided to rent my books from maple woods to save me time and money. The manager assisted me and processed two transactions to GUARANTEE that some of my books would be processed for the fall and some of them would be set up for the summer. All of my books were set up for the summer. Which means I would be charged FULL RETAIL value as if they were NEW books when the time came that they were due if it was not corrected. I called the manager within 15 minutes to notify him I received notification this was processed incorrectly. He assured me it would be corrected by the next day. Here we are, 3 weeks later none of my rentals have been corrected. I have called multiple times to find out where my books stand. The manager has given me attitude stating that he would call me to prevent further calls and let me know I would not have any fees charged to my credit card when my books become due at the incorrect date. No one calls me to update me on my account. No one has corrected a SIMPLE issue with my account. This is the first and ONLY time I will ever rent my books from the book store by walking in. From here on out I will just order online and if there is an error it's on me. This was supposed to be an easy and simple process and it has become a STRESSFUL and INFURIATING experience.Anna Foltz

This is my second time going to diagnostic imaging. My first time was a month prior to my appointment today. Both times I went, I had an issue with my insurance “not being accepted.” Prior to my appointments, my OB office had called and settled the issue with the billing department and came to the conclusion that my insurance actually is accepted. I had no problem with my first appointment (independence location) as I explained the insurance confusion to the receptionist, she made a quick phone call, scanned my insurance cards and settled it. Today, at the Englewood location, the front desk receptionist was completely out of line. The same issue came up about my insurance. As I was explaining it to the receptionist helping me, another receptionist cuts me off and says my insurance isn’t covered. She continues to eavesdrop on the conversion while shaking her head with a sour attitude. After I am checked in and already sitting down in the lobby, the receptionist continues to gossip about the fact that my insurance is not accepted! My husband felt so disrespected on my behalf that he approached her and called her out for it. Why does she care? What’s the bother to her? If my insurance isn’t accepted, I’m the one who gets the bill in the mail. My main issue is that I am coming to diagnostic to get an ultrasound to see my baby boy. This is supposed to be a happy time. Instead, I’m hearing this woman gossip about me, shake her head at me and interrupt my conversation.Kara Brown

Said in my most Democratic voice: "let me be clear"…I had a great experience with the clinic and their professionalism. I'm not happy that both of us are experiencing internet connectivity problems. I mentioned Google by name because that's who I have at home. Not sure who supplies the labs. Had it not been for bad internet, the lab would've gotten 10 stars if that were allowed. TOP KNOTCH facility , equipment and staff. THEY can't make the internet function like it should, like it brags about. But then they really don't have to with so little competition, do they? Similar to the leading healthcare insurance industries…(after reading some of the reviews…) all controlled by who? The US Govt? Wake up people. Don't complain about the medical industry if you were/are for Universal Healthcare. If you hand these entities over to the federal (or state) govt, they are going to operate just like the federal/state govt does, with alot of bureaucracy and red tape. 🤔 JS All that because my first review didn't post because I had to review Google's policy and disclaimers. What should've been, and would've been, a 45 min visit for 3 different yearly diagnostics, took over 2 hrs because the internet wouldn't function properly.Mary R

Had appointment yesterday for a 6-mo follow-up requested by radiologist at the facility. I waited over 2 hours after my scheduled time because they (DIC) had not received my doctor's authorization for the procedure. Who is responsible for securing this approval? Is it me??? Because I wasn't informed by either office (DIC or my doctor) that it was needed. I called my doc office and asked someone/anyone to expedite the request because I was waiting. Very confusing and frustrating. Mistakes happen and I'm not blaming because something slipped through the cracks. Just want to know what the patient is supposed to do. Thanks to the receptionists for trying to help.Jill Daubresse

The Ged program sucks there . When new people are enrolled it makes you have to start over until the new students catch up. I was on level four and had to wait for the new students to catch up. I didn't like it. No teachers, they have to text when they have a teacher to teach the class. I really wish there was another way to get my diploma.Diana Thomas

Nice experience you are not a school Just my first year and all things are going very well here on the cell phone because it has the availability to learn more things every day and to be able to get at least one head knowing that it is very charmingeléctrico Jose

I went to the school fair and it was a fantastic experience. This is the first time for me and everyone was helpful throughout the whole process.Ms. G 816

This was our first visit to this diagnostic imaging location and we were very pleased at the experience. Parking was convenient. The staff was extremely personable and helpful. They explained everything perfectly from the initial paperwork to the imaging process, and the expectations of getting results. My daughter was getting an MRI to due to an ankle injury and the staff were very compassionate and considerate to her while she was alone and in an MRI for the first time. I sat in the small dressing room and could hear them talking to her and ensuring she was ok, and telling her what was happening, and even played music. My daughter came out as if she had taken a nap! Only think I could suggest is to offer some feedback to building custodial services. Unsure how often they come in, but the large window sill looking out over plaza had lots of tiny dead bugs and the little dressing room had lots of tiny shards of paper on the carpet. Nothing gross, just notable for us likely being one of first appointments of the day. It did nothing to distract from the amazing service.running funk

Went for an annual mammogram. Parking is easy, and they have reserved parking for customers, all though those were full when I was there. It was a bit confusing as to where the office was located in reference to the parking structure. They are in the same building as the library, but to the east of the library itself. There are two elevator banks, you want the ones behind the security desk, NOT the ones to your left. Diagnostics is on the 2nd floor to the right. Staff was polite, friendly, and professional. As I was simply there for a mammogram, the turn around time was very quick – about 20 minutes.Stephanie Petersen

Went for my October annual visit. Excellent service from checking in to being seen. Small waiting room but enough social distance. My technologist was excellent. Shannon made things simple and explained everything I needed to know. The check in receptionist was excellent, I forgot to get her name but she made check in quite easy. Will be back!Barb Dater

Great place!!The mammogram specialist was great!! She was very polite and explained everything she was going to do before she did it and as she did it. She even offered to schedule me for my next year’s appointment that day. (Face it ladies, some of us don’t always exactly “remember” our annual mammograms so it slips by until our doctor tells us to get one. 😬 )Dana Crawford

My recent appointment at the Liberty office was the first time I was greeted at a DIC location with a smile. The receptionist was also very helpful when I asked for copies of my exam instead of being put out like it has been at all my other appointments at the Independence office. It was a refreshing change.Jonell Craig-ReeceNichols

This facility is clean, the front desk staff are friendly and efficient. The technician who completed the ultrasound was knowledgeable and very nice. She made me feel comfortable and constantly checked with me to make sure I was doing well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this center!Iketia Patton

I absolutely must rave about my experience at Encompass/premier imaging on wornal/101st. Not only did the business office work with me on payments but the office manager and administrator watched my little guy and gave him cookies so I could FINALLY get the CT scan done!!!!!! Now waiting on my doc to review images and tell me what the next step will be! I highly recommend this facility and the staff. I legitimately felt like they cared and Pam was just as determined as I was to get me my scan!!!! Feeling blessed today. The entire staff from the front desk to the back offices and techs….I am amazed and thankful!!April

Had multiple tests run and could not give me any answers and refused to treat me. Left me with zero answers. Had to report to another imaging center that would treat me. Felt they weren’t forth coming in their areas on expertise and inexperience. Just kept telling me to spend money on tests that gave me the same answers and there response to be was “I’m not willing to treat you”. Do not go to this imaging center. Incompetent.Renee W.

As I don't have insurance and had to pay out of pocket, I went to Premiere because they did x-rays for half the price of where my doctor referred me. I always hate when I have to shop on price, because you usually get what you pay for. In this case however, my orthopaedic surgeon made a point of telling me how good the imaging was!Joe

Very disappointing experience at the enrollment centers. Ive been to the Blue River and the Penn Valley campus and the academic advisors do not live up to their titles. I'm trying to go back to school to better my situation, I havent been in a school setting in over 8 years I need direction and guidance and I was treated like I should know how the class schedules work and how to get myself enrolled. I was mislead on the prerequisites for the program I was interested in. I was given the run around going from person to person when I even selected that I was there to meet with an advisor right from the moment i signed in. College is intimitading and even more so when you're going back after so many years of being out of the game. Have some patience and compassion. To you advisors, you do this everyday its second nature but you have to remember its someone else's very first time and we are all lost on our first day. I wish any future MCC students a better experience than I had.Rachel Scruton

I do have to praise Penn Valley for a situation that had occurred with one of my classes. The instructor we initially had showed up hungover the first two days of class (almost reminded me of Jack Black in School of Rock). He bragged about how he was a veterinarian and held a doctorate and just his overall attitude was more of a washed up rockstar than a doctor. Thankfully, Penn Valley handled this situation quickly and fired this guy and hired a pediatrician, who was a fantastic teacher and seemed to care about his students’ success. I’ve had several other fantastic teachers here, as well. The campus is easy to navigate and, for the most part, very clean and near Westport, so it is easy to find something to do if you have a long period between classes.Kimberly H

The staff works hard to get "the ball rolling," but I'm afraid a lot of the students come to school expecting zero hoops to jump through. Students need to realize that there is so much that needs to be done to prepare for THEIR OWN education and getting frustrated for our lack of preparation as students does not mean that frustrations need to be directed toward the staff. Most loans are Governmental and if you have never dealt with the Government on ANYTHING – you are in for a rude awakening. KUDOS and thanks for all the staff at Penn Valley – I know you all don't hear it enough – so my first ever Review posting of this nature goes to you all in our overworked and underpaid educational system!!Brian Damron

Not impressed by this school, classes are still online when they really need to be in session especially to practice skills. Had non-stop issues. If the nurses don’t want to teach then you need to move along. Need instructors who care and want you to succeed and help you to improve. Teaching yourself is extremely difficult and not what I pay for, I pay for a service. The instructors don’t follow the schools values and missions. Disappointed to say the least. One of the worst customer service interactions. I was given a code from my school to purchase some materials. The code ‘malfunctioned’ according to APEA since the price was lower than what they charge normally. According to them and my school it was my fault the code I was given gave me a bigger discount. I politely responded stating as a business owner I would never track down a customer and harass/threaten them that unless I received the full price I will cancel their order. But my school stated it was my fault thus I have no choice to but pay whatever price or I will fail my class. As a disabled veteran I am deeply hurt of the result of this company and my school.Kimberly Stanfield

University of Kansas Medical Center (affectionately called “KU”) is the region’s major health care institution. It is a very busy hospital providing comprehensive and highly-specialized services. They are a go-to institution for complex medical needs including cancer and stem cell transplant. We predict that KU would continue to grow and gain stature nationally. By the way, there are some beautiful glass art displays in the hallways! Also, the cell phone connection is consistently poor inside the buildings and should addressed .Rakesh Goyal

I was recently a patient here and on the 6th floor in the med unit the nurses were so amazing they were very efficient and caring. The doctor "Doctor Brown" was so awesome he really knew his job and how to treat me ive never had a doctor ive felt so comfortable around I personally have mental illness and I dont feel comfortable in alot of situations I would recommend dr brown to anyone hes amaing at his job. Great job ku at putting your patient first. If I could give this hospital 10 i would.KRYSTAL YOUNG

I have been here 3 times in the last month, and hope to finish my dental process here. The staff, students, and teachers have been wonderful. Parking is a little crazy. Get there early.Eileen Craig
