It's a good starting school but extremely disorganized with idiots for employees. Dr Apple or apfel is a complete and total moron. She is so ungodly useless. She is extremely disorganized no wonder all of the students hate her. She wouldn't shake our hands because she said that's how germs are spread. Get rid of this delusional troll! She made an appointment for 12 and then when we got there said it was for 4pm. Um hello!? This school is so DISORGANIZED. If you're willing to put up with complete chaos for two years then go here. This school was better back in the day now it's a hell hole. The librarians are nice and some of the professors and the security officers are really nice but that's about it.Caitlin Campbell

Either believe the previous reviews of 'smelling like poverty and cigarettes', or understand that community college is the last place to find a living, breathing example of the American Dream. On top of that, NCC is the most well-funded community college, the most prestigious, and has the highest share of incredible professors than any other community college in the region. But it won't motivate you to succeed. You have to do that yourself. And if you do not find that drive within yourself in time, do not blame the college for your shortcomings. The opportunities are here and begging for you to take them.Ziggy Saks

This is a really good school if you’re all about your academics. I’ve had my good times and my bad times here at MCC. Overall on the academic side of MCC I appreciate all of the hard work that most of my professors have done. There are professors here that definitely need to be more qualified with what they are teaching as it has affected my grades when I’ve taken their courses. I am an Honor student here at MCC with a GPA of 3.30 and have never once had an issue with organization skills until my 2019 spring semester. A couple of the professors have been unorganized, no syllabus and sometimes they have other priorities when they have to teach a class in other words they put another professor in place when they have to go to another job. Although these were a couple of issues within my time here at MCC I enjoyed the experience of learning new knowledge for my future career. I really liked a lot of my professors but a couple of them have been a little rough. If you communicate with your professors about your issues that you’re having it really helps and shows that you’re determined to do your work and it shows you care about your work as well. Environment wise I’d have to say it’s not healthy (mentally/physically) and or good for many people. There have been students who have left garbage all over the place and don’t clean up after themselves which leads to maintenance having to clean it all up. With my time here I have helped maintenance clean up other people’s messes so they don’t have to worry about it as much. Also the amount of vaping, drug use, and underage drinking in the lounge is unacceptable and nothing has been done to take care of this issue except shutting the lounge down. I feel as if this does nothing but illustrates that they can go elsewhere within the college and do these things. An authority figure should really take this into consideration and do something about this because it affects others who have nothing to do with these people and it ruins people’s Health. You can smell weed from a mile away and if people have asthma or a health condition this could affect them physically. I do not appreciate this at all and I wish something was done about it. The other big issue environmentally is the fact that the main cafeteria can get very loud and some students have no manners and do not respect others around them. If they are asked to quiet down they do the opposite It has gotten to the point where a lot of people have complained and yet nothing is done to prevent this from happening again. The college needs to have some control over what students do and take action on these issues. I wish that there could be some changes here and I hope for the best for everyone at MCC. Overall it is a good school for your academics but is definitely not a mentally healthy place environmentally. Even if you try to get away and go somewhere else for privacy somehow drama follows behind you. A Tip would be after your classes go home if you can or go to the back of the library in the quiet study room. I wish everyone the best of luck here at MCC and hope that everything goes well.Carmella H

So I will start with sharing my positive highlights of the fall semester during covid. Some teachers were empathetic to the situation the entire nation went through. Prof. Muldoon did such an amazing job touching base and gaining clarity of students frustration and technical difficulties during this time. Prof Diane. Hillyer OMG if I were ever to be a college professor I’d want to have her passion and dedication. She’s a math angel, truly loves her job and her videos were perfect! Now chemistry online and labs online were a joke!!! The professor did not make enough office hours, used YouTube videos from other teachers, used repetitive templates for each week lesson with no data. If I wanted to learn chemistry that way I could’ve honestly gone on Edx.org for FREE and probably have learned the curriculum better. I might of missed 1 assignment and handed in 1 assignment 10 mins late and didn’t receive the grade or support needed. But unfortunately as a paying student I just have to deal with it, 2k down the drain! Funny thing I am also a teacher during covid and actually work in the building with student and never would I have ever made my students feel isolated like this professor did. I’ve never seen or heard my chemistry teachers voice but I’m pretty sure they got paid every two weeks while there’s probably many qualified teachers that could have done a way better job. I was warned about this professor but I learned the hard way. The school overall has a nice faculty and I feel like the majority do care. This is unfortunate when professor get so accustomed to a repetitive lifestyle because blackboard actually graded my exams so again not sure what some professor did during Covid behind the scene and so-called virtual teaching. This is a a good school to start or to get the credits needed for a post-Bach. I decided to go to a private school with a more dedicated team and more virtual teaching experience.Dignora Castillo

I was a potential international student and found Manchester Community College a great place to go. I called the first time and wasn’t able to talk to the responsible for international students but left my phone number and email. Umesh sent me an email saying he would give me a call. He did, two days later and was rude and impatient since the moment I picked up the phone and was acting like he was doing me a favor to call me. He said I should go back to my country and take my visa there instead of changing my status here, which is not up to him, was questioning how I was gonna become a student and more. I can’t even explain how rude and disrespectful he was to me who was just trying to make an appointment to go to the campus and get more informations in person about fees and the I20. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, specially for international students! Very disappointedRayane Michelle

This place is a perfect example of “you get what you pay for”. I attended September 2009 – May 2018 (with a 3 year gap from 2012-2015). The hospitality teachers and department head were wonderful, and a lot of my general Ed teachers were amazing too and I have nothing but great things to say about the teachers. However, the registrar office and academic advisors were a nightmare to deal with. No one ever smiles, my message NEVER got relayed to the right person, and it was such a headache to deal with offices equivalent to dealing with the DMV. They also claimed that when you graduate you can transfer your credits to a state college which is false. Some of the credits transferred, but classes like Math don’t transfer and I have to take a placement test to get into the same exact math class I took at Gateway and passed the class with an A. The bookstore staff was the most incapable, rude, useless group of people. Graduation was a completely unorganized joke – they told graduates to arrive 2 hours early to stand in a parking lot with no instruction and 1 porta potty for about 300 people. They also only announce 1 of your degrees – so if you have 3 degrees they won’t even take the extra 5 seconds to announce all 3 (I thought graduation was supposed to recognize your achievements?) I would have never wasted my time going to graduation if I knew how pathetic it would be. Parking on campus in New Haven was crazy and the lot constantly overflows into the Temple Street lot so you get to walk in stairways that smell like urine with bums roaming the lot and drunk people stumbling to their car after your class at 9:30 at night with no security guards to get to your car. Literally no security whatsoever like your completely on your own in a public lot in the heart of New Haven. Like most schools, they don’t allow weapons inside the building so you don’t even have a way to defend yourself if you get approached in the lot which will happen at some point. There were also hospitality classes that I had to buy things out of pocket and was promised reimbursement that never happened.Nina Tiso

I loved working with the children in the Early Learning Center, but the adults in the classroom didn't really treat me that well. They didn't really accommodating me that well when it came to tasks such as setting the table for breakfast,lunch, and snack. A coworker got nasty because I wasnt moving fast enough for her. I'm visually impaired and I have to take my time because of my vision. I had to complain about this coworker 2 times. Another thing that didnt make sense was I had to walk to the other side of campus to eat lunch for my 30 minute break. The teacher of the classroom would get mad at me for being late because I am a slow eater and I cant move fast again because of my bad vision. student teachers aren't allowed to eat in the teachers lounge. I shouldn't have had to complain to my boss about eating in the teacher lounge. This place needs to be more accommodating to student teachers with disabilities and staff needs to be more compassionate. I am very glad that I don't work at this place anymore! I wish the adults would learn compassion from the children!Jasmyn Polite

Beautiful atmosphere. I was in their old building on Long wharf years ago, and seeing how they've grown and progressed into what I consider a university now, is life changing for the people attending this college. For a community college, they offer so much for the students with assistance as well as their educational endeavors. Their cafe offers delicious varieties which includes a wide range of healthy choices. Very inviting environment for the students to learn in. I get the feeling that this University cares about the students that attend itDelbra Wilson

I went here for my first two years of college. Here's what I've noticed. – The people here are great, for the most part. – UNH emphasizes on a welcoming environment – There's always new development like the Bergami center which is a very nice looking building. – I lived in Westside and Winchester halls. Both are good! – I was in Engineering which I struggled in, but when I changed my major to accounting I had no struggle. – I just really wish UNH was more helpful with finance and mental health. – They were WAY too strict with Covid. Yes, I understand the dangers, but we're adults you have to remember. They threatened to suspend if you violate rules, even accidentally. They also quarantined my entire hall in 2020 just because one student got covid. I really didn't believe they had to be that harsh. – They were also TERRIBLE with communication when moving in for my 2nd year (because of covid), and I had to spend a month trying to figure out when to move in. – The Accessibility resources center is a good place, but once they forbid me from using a calculator on a chemistry exam in March of 2020. Everybody but the ARC staff thought that was terrible. – Their math department was terrible. The professors meant well, but it was not taught in an interesting way. – On a positive note, they are fantastic at safety. In January of 2021 I got cyberbullied by someone in the school who made threats including a death threat. The ResLife dept. handled it very well and the police took it very seriously and found the guy doing it, someone who I thought was a friend. He was suspended. Overall, UNH is not perfect, but their heart is in the right place. I didn't leave for any of these reasons listed, that's another story entirely. But if you are Nick, Chris, Lucas, Antonia, Victoria, Makayla, Jenna, Galianna, Alexa, or Patrick, I miss you!James Shewan

I attended UNH between spring 2019 and January 2021 (two years) as a transfer, and earned a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice (Investigative Services Concentration). I am giving this school 3 stars because excluding a very good academic experience, there were too many low moments I experienced at UNH for me to give this review more stars. These low moments range from lack of opportunities for commuter students (which is what I was for 3/4 semesters), existing social circles that prevent prospective students from feeling any sense of belonging, the school's fostering and promotion of the word "LatinX", and other things. (Mainly because I am a Latino/Hispanic male originally from South America, and don't see how the word is applicable to the Central/South American community). The pandemic did affect the college experience in spring 2020, but my experience was already going downhill well before this. For these reasons, I feel as though this was an era of my life that never happened. Above all, I find it difficult to talk about this era and school in more positive (than negative) ways. I do recommend this school for my degree. My professors did an excellent job of teaching me. But it all does come at a cost because setbacks or letdowns (described above) can quickly affect a student's experience. Likewise, I am considering graduate school here because my professional job search opened my eyes to how graduate degrees are becoming the new standard for the U.S workforce. Hope this helps.Marc Conrad

The beauty of this school is not just about the academic excellence and great facilities, but the diversity; it’s almost as if every nationality is represented here. Everyone is friendly from the students to the academic staffers, non-academic staffers, to the school security operatives. When I visited this school I observed wheelchair accessibility is greatly adhered to in this institution. I also noticed there’s a 24/7 Wells Fargo Bank ATM point on this campus. Consequently, you will always have access to cash. When you school here you also get to enjoy the magnificence of New Haven, West Haven and most of all New York City, since it’s just less than an hour ride with your car or via the Metro-North Train. This school is pretty close to road and be easily noticed from a vehicle in normal traffic. #NewHaven #WestHaven #UNH #University #AcademicsExcellence #CT #Connecticut #OnGoogleMaps #Google #LetsGuide #GreatFacilities #WheelchairAccessible #KnowledgeU-roy Felix Agboli

Although my professors have been awesome, the university as a whole is horribly disorganized and mismanaged. The various staff of different departments are uniformly rude and uninformed. I've gotten wrong and/or misleading information on basic protocol literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I've spoken with someone (where do I submit work study requests? Can I still carry student insurance if I'm part-time?) Regarding the insurance, I was told "yes" by 2 different pople. HOWEVER, the answer to that is it's automatically cancelled when you register online for classes and it is received as part-time, so then you have to re-enroll as a new client at a higher rate. I found this out when I was trying to fill a prescription and after much investigation found out that my insurance had been cancelled. This is one of the MANY problems I've experienced with Southern administration. Equally as faulty, is the technology "services" that Southern uses. Windows 7 computers in the computer labs that take (no joke) 5-20 mins to log you on if there are more than 3 people in the room and remote printing that requires an installation on your laptop every time you want to use it. This is recommend since you'll otherwise sit for 20 mins for the lab computer to log on and then progress to opening and printing a file at the speed of dial-up. If you need to reach anyone (computing services, the bookstore) for questions, you'll be strained to find contact info outside of the (203)392-SCSU main office number. A detailed Google search rarely finds the phone numbers associated with specific offices. Most recently, for the past month as Southern has started the fall semester, their network has become so overloaded that the mail server periodically un-syncs all of my devices from their email (iPhone, Mac) so I don't get mail or know that an email I sent never actually sent, since it doesn't appear in ANY outbox or draft folder from any device. But since it happens off-and-on, as the SCSU network comes and goes as it pleases, I've not known about the missed emails until someone tells about a group email I missed. Lastly, and kinda most importantly, Southern's crap internet system occasionally doesn't recognize my password for Bannerweb, email, and Blackboard. Confoundingly, this doesn't occur on these applications all in one sitting. MANY TIMES I've sat and typed my password into Blackboard 5+ times and magically after repeated entries it suddenly works!!! Always had the same problem logging into "myscsu" and trying to get my email back online to the Southern server. Recommendation: If you're enrolling as a full-time undergraduate, I would HIGHLY recommend looking for a school elsewhere because you're DEFINITELY not getting your money's worth at this institution. Note: they also have no funding for student work study anymore, so don't count on that for extra money/tuition expenses. If you're taking classes part-time, for a job or continuing education, it will be a frustrating experience, but not a total waste of money. Botton line, I rated 2 stars because the professors and experiences with classmates have been awesome this past year, but the university as a whole is beyond frustrating.Jennifer Vollmer

im usually not the type of person to be negative and leave lengthy reviews but this is so necessary being that im so extremely disappointed with this school! I went for a tour in November of 2017 fell in love with the campus so I decided to apply as a transfer student in April of 2018! I sent in my fee waiver form April 20th I was told it takes 2-3weeks to hear back from the school, ok cool! here it is a MONTH later still no response, nor any communication to even let me know they've received my fee waiver form and that id be hearing from them soon or whatever the case may be just complete silence!!! not to mention the students that answer the phone are very rude and snappy! I withdrew my application and applied to Iona college! I applied with them got an acceptance letter, got my financial situation settled, paid my deposit all within a week, easy as 1,2,3 as it SHOULD be. Its an excellent school with a countless number of awards, i feel as though the process of applying to schools should be as easy and stress free as possible! Im extremely dissatisfied with my experience with this school it literally had everything I was looking for campus wise, but everything happens for a reason and being that Im going into the education field I've been told from numerous amounts of educators that im better off getting a job, with a degree from Iona under my belt. The purpose of this review is not to trash talk or to persuade anyone into not applying here but rather to allow others to be aware of what they may possibly come into contact with when applying to this school and perhaps a change can come about for the next student. : ) Blessings.Alexa Griffin

If I could give Southern zero stars I absolutely would. They are extremely unorganized, they don't care about you as a student AT ALL.. They cancelled a BIO class that I really needed a week before classes start. I emailed the head of the department asking for a solution and all I got was a too bad.. Now because of this I have to attend an extra semester and will not be graduating in time.. They offer classes at odd times which makes it hard for you to sign up for classes back to back, so far the professors I had don't care about you and are not understanding.. I graduated from Western Connecticut and I never had a problem with them and now because of Southern I have to spend more of my time and money that I don't have…Barbara Monteiro

I get MRIs every two months, and this was my best MRI experience yet. The staff at the front desk were friendly, efficient, and professional. I was seen without waiting. The price of the scan (paid cash, no insurance) was quite affordable compared to my usual (with insurance at the hospital). Greg, the tech, was personable, efficient, and professional as well. It was the shortest MRI I've ever had (this is a good thing). The MRI machine was the cleanest, nicest, and most comfortable I've ever been in, and Greg provided me with nice comfy headphones that blocked out the noise and played music of my choice. Never before have I been able to fall asleep in an MRI until this time. Dr. Shahid was wonderful and took the time to go over my scan with me. He also reached out directly to my doctor and explained things in very clear layman's terms. Great bedside manner from both Dr. Shahid and Greg. 5/5, would recommend to anybody.Reed Branson

This is such a pleasant, professional atmosphere everyone makes a great effort to make you feel comfortable and takes the time to inform you of everything as you go along with testing . From the appointment scheduling with Judy who is always so accommodating and friendly to the clinician Helen who is lovely ; I had her last year and remembered her immediately because she’s so very nice. Dr.Kaneko the radiologist took the time to answer some questions I had. I’m so pleased that it was the Dr. Kaneko Who read my report – extremely knowledgeable thorough and efficient. Top notch…… Thank you Dr. KanekoKaren R

I've used Guilford radiology a few times and have always had a good experience. My visit today was exceptional. They just recieved a new TV for the MRI so you can watch a movie during the scan! Laura was my tech and was super awesome. The radiologist took time with me while I was there to review the images because a specific thing we were looking for that was communicated excellently between them and my doctor. So happy with them!Hannah Donadio

I had a good time visiting the Cushing center and it was very interesting to see actual brains and learn a few things .I would love to visit here again .sweet sorrow

UDMI called me a day before asking me to e-mail them my referral form which was weird. The day I get there they ask for it again, which isn't a problem but what was the point of you guys asking for an e-mailed copy and then asking for the physical copy again? Front receptionists where you sign in are not professional and very impersonal. Patients shouldn't have to wait to be called if there are five receptionists in the front tending to no one. Talking loudly amongst themselves like they're still in high school. Stop airing your personal laundry/gossip in front of patients. Decent waiting time. I was seen an hour after stated appointment time, and 15 more minutes in the waiting area for the actual MRI.ijasonxi1

Took my sister here for a procedure and mammogram. While she was at the front desk to check in, another front desk staff employee called her name. I don't think they know what they are doing or how to keep track of the patient load. Waited over an hour before the procedure was done and then she had to wait even longer for the mammogram. Would not allow me to come back despite my sister's concerns and anxiety for the appointment. However, other staff were allowing people to accompany the other patients into the back for their testing/procedures. Very disappointing. Will not be coming back.Stephanie Alfieri

Very efficiently run facility. Everything ran smoothly, from calling to make an appointment, the check-in process, being able to secure my belongings in a locker, and the exam itself. The staff was professional, transparent with pricing, accommodating to my needs, and even comforted me when I had an emotional moment. I was at the facility for just over 2 hours, which seems a little long since my actual exam procedure was 10-15 minutes, but it was a busy day and patients were moved through as quickly as possible, so no complaints. Special thanks to Nurse Sephora and Dr. Noble!Aisha R.

First, I realize that any TEMP can be dismissed for any reason no matter how minuscule. It's not about the job for some of these managers. You can be prettier, more confident, dress nicer, SMARTER, or just be intimidated by the one-and-a-half-legged AR manager and she will convince others that you are not a good fit. I say too bad. Second, when you arrive at the business office on Cranbury Rd, East Brunswick, and get off the elevator on the third floor, and look to your left, all you see are plaques of white men that have run the company through ancient days. BAD SIGN. Third, when you do your job and do not involve yourself with bad behaviors with the one black AR manager then you become a threat. She is not a professional, she discusses her drama with selling or not being able to sell her house publicly, she is loud, belligerent, and clownish, and gets a lot of help with her tasks from Marie. It is black women like her that give the rest of us a bad name and makes it difficult for us to progress as a race. Don't care about this company so I have no advice for them. SMHKat Mane

I would give this place one star if I could. My 8 months old baby was exposed to someone with TB and he would need to take a screening test by taking the chest xray ordered by the Tuberculosis Control Services in Middlesex county. They refused to give my son the xray saying that he would need to wait until his skin test showed negative to take the xray here ( if it is negative then why does he still need the xray??) but if the skin test showed positive then we would need to bring him somewhere else to take the xray because he could pass the TB to other people here. This is the most ridiculous rejection I have ever heard of, specially to a baby who was in need of your service. If your business is operating to serve only healthy patients and anyone who are sick or potentially sick will be asked to go somewhere, then what is the VALUE and WORK ETHIC that you are providing to your clients?? I left this location and brought my son to the University Radiology in Mentuchen and they gave him the Xray right away without questions asked.JENNIFER NGUYEN

They have no problem collecting your money and billing for the procedures, but the moment you ask them to fax your records when you have a time-sensitive condition (read: CANCER!) they give you the run-around for DAYS, and the receiving hospital keeps telling me they haven't received ANY records from University Radiology despite what the person on the phone claims. I've checked the hospital fax number and it's working, and I've checked if they have the correct fax number and they do. SO WHY ARE YOU HOLDING MY RECORDS HOSTAGE AND PREVENTING ME FROM ACCESSING TIMELY CARE???? It's one thing to be short staffed but it's entirely different to LIE to me when my hospital is doing its best to get me in for surgery!!! Infuriating!!s tong

As a new member (less than six months), I have been nothing but disappointed and horrified at how little Yale Health cares for patients. My communications with them have all circled back to metrics, practices designed for their comfort not the patients', and an obsession with health information systems. You have no/limited ability to choose your own physician(s). When pressed to make a change you are told by the new member rep that doing so "would be an administrative hassle" (I have this response in writing) and are subjected to a litany of complaints about how short-handed they are. (Not reassuring when you are seeking medical care.) When they do hire, they hire the least experienced practitioners they can find despite the fact that an older employee base prefers a more mature medical professional. At the time of enrollment, you are assured that making changes is very easy. With other departments, you are given information only based on who answers the phone, e.g., in April I called Opthamology/Optometry for an app't and was told the earliest I could get was mid-November. I called again the other day to find out options, got an app't for early October but advised that they could give a voucher for another facility so that insurance would cover the visit if I wanted/needed something sooner. I had another two hour phone conversation today with their outsourced/self-service behavioral health program who were very helpful but the Yale Health colleagues they called or additional assistance had no interest in helping to solve issues.Tamara Belmonte

Absolute garbage of a hospital. Was diagnosed with a chronic disease a couple months ago, communication between the doctors is absolutely absent. The nurses act like you work for them and are extremely rude over the phone like they’re the ones that are sick. They’ve sent multiple prescriptions to the wrong location which is insane because how do you not make sure you’re sending it to the right place. Extremely lazy and negligent work from Yale. The name brings people but the staff and the medical professionals there are too busy for their own good. You can’t have multiple people with such different chronic diseases and not give the patients the care and the time they deserve. You wait 3 hours being brought from waiting room to waiting room for the doctor to see you for 5 minutes and not even listen to what is wrong with you. They already have their game plan and if it’s anything different than what they want they’re not going to listen. Sad a place with such potential is wasted with people who aren’t empathetic. Like why did you get a job in healthcare if you’re going to have an attitude with people because they’re sick. They obviously didn’t choose that lifestyle or dealing with your stuck up people. Bottom line absolute trash.bob billy

I went through the most horrific experience in OBGYN. I was verbally attacked and humiliated by the nurse manager of the department, Wendy Fazekas. This woman came into my room while I was unclothed and hurled false accusations at me with the door open, exposing me and completely violating my privacy. The most heart breaking part of it all was that I was there to follow up with my provider after receiving devastating news at my previous appointments. I am in complete disbelief and terrified to return as a patient. I am unsure why or what would make a person believe it is appropriate to come into a patient’s room and not only humiliate them but expose them and violate their privacy. Unprofessional cant even describe Wendy Fazekas’ behavior toward Yale members and patients. Please be cautioned when visiting Yale Health OBGYN.Shawdel

The actual facility is fine and clean, however, the staff is a bit cold and not interactive at all – it is very rote and clinical. My main issue is that the phone system is terrible for the center and any doctors that they refer. For some reason, many individual doctors associated with Griffin do not have a receptionist, they share an answering service. So booking an appointment can be a long, multi-day process where the patient is chasing the office to book time. I was referred for a procedure and tried to book an appointment early one morning, left a message. I missed the call that came in at 5pm. I called multiple times the next day as the answering service stated no one at their desks. After 6 calls, I booked an appointment to find out you have to wait for the nurse to call back between appointments to schedule. Not patient friendly at all and makes me wonder where else they cut corners. Most likely will never return to this practice after this incident.Doyle

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had at the Hewitt Center. I had a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy here. The facility was clean, and every person on staff treated me and my wife warmly and made us feel comfortable. The skill with which they did their jobs made the experience more tolerable for me, and I felt I could depend on the results. They also have new equipment as of recently which is a plus, like a chair for biopsy as opposed to the traditional table setup. Special thanks to my navigator Sheila, along with Tina and Sara who were so awesome! Celebrating my good biopsy result today 🙂Julia Slaughter

Everyone from the moment I went to the front desk to sign in until the very end when I met with the radiologist was so friendly and kind. I even got a complimentary massage while waiting. Very impressed with the way I was treated. I will recommend them to anyone who needs to go!Carrie Lucas

I have been treated at smilow cancer center for the past year and I found that the doctors are quite knowledgeable about current treatments however I found that the both the MD's and staff, especially at the smilow Cancer center in New Haven were indifferent at best. I do have to say that when I received my 40 radiation treatments, it was at the radiation therapy department at shoreline medical center in Guilford and that team including the radiation oncologist were outstanding. They were professional, caring, and efficient, unlike the staff in New Haven. In New Haven, i waited 5 hours at my first visit. And the last visit I waited two and a half hours. During my last visit, I was never informed of the wait time and when I asked to speak to a manager after 1 and a half hours, I was told they had all gone home for the day. At every visit I saw the doctor for about 5 or 10 minutes there was never a review of systems and a very scant if any physical exam. With my prostate cancer I was never referred to any kind of physical therapy for incontinence issues and I was never told about any support groups or any nurse that would be able to help with problems or questions associated with my cancer and symptoms. Essentially, I was left on my own to fend for myself. In reading these reviews for the smilow cancer center, I find it very interesting that whoever monitors and comments on these reviews, only commented on the positive reviews and never commented on the negative reviews. I also found it very interesting that every comment to the positive reviews were a cut and paste with the same comment for every positive review. I think this is a pretty good reflection of how I feel about the smilow cancer center and their inability to deal with the person behind the cancer not just the cancer itself. As a medical professional for 22 years and working in several large hospitals including Yale New Haven Hospital, I would not recommend Smilow New Haven now I'm on the other side of medical care as a patient. Personally, I have dropped my care from Smilow and am traveling to Hartford for complete care of my cancer. Post Comment Addendum: I received a response from the monitor of these reviews and what is it… most of it is the same canned response to all or the comments on this web site. Just as I thought, there really is little ability at Yale to look at the person/patient as a unique individual but just the same emotionless entity that deserves nothing more than a cut and paste on the internet as well as at the Smilow ClinicsMike S.

My sister is on a weekly chemo regimen of 2 weeks on and 1 week off. She has been on this schedule for the last year. She had been going to the Orange infusion center until the end of June of this year, where it is a well oiled machine. Customer service and efficiency at a high level. Her Oncologist moved to the Midwest so she selected a new oncologist based at New Haven Smilow. Clinical staff in New Haven are excellent but the scheduling and sign-in staff are dysfunctional. They cause my sister non-stop stress at every visit. She either “doesn’t have an appointment” “you don’t have blood work scheduled” …….on and on. I find it incredible that these appointments are not “canned” with all the chemo being infused at this center. Why should it be so radically different from the satellite centers? Why are the sign-in staff so unhelpful? My sister finds the appointments so much longer as well. This is due to the extreme length of time to get the chemo prepared once her blood work results are available. In Orange they got their chemo from Derby and delivery was quicker than the pharmacy in New Haven. I am hoping that some improvements can be made for the cancer patients receiving chemo in New Haven!Pamela Cullen

My initial experience was very good during the pandemic. Responsive. Good treatment experience. However, when I developed complications from both radiation and pharma treatment, every one of my specialists (Surgeon, RAD ONC and MED ONC) were dismissive of my complications and neglected to do anything to help me. Innditions. short, Smilow treats the disease not the patient. I was discharged from therapy without my issues being resolved or without being taught how to manage my chronic complications on my own. I had to switch to a different health system to get quality care for my conditions. I do not think I would return to Smilow if I had a recurrence and I would caution anyone from selecting Smilow as they may not be there for you if you have any issues outside of their standard treatment protocols.Linda Scott

I would go elsewhere if you need imaging done unless you have a litigious mind and like being sued by your doctor/medical facility. The service they provide is alright, but the headache and hassle they give you after is not worth it. The techs are kind. The waiting room is crowded. My experience is as follows: I called the number on my bill a few months after my scan and was told I had no balance. I didn’t receive anything else, but a few months later, still less than a year after my date of service, I received a lawsuit from small claims court that I was being sued for $300. I called Whitney Imaging again to pay and they wouldn’t accept payment and referred me to the collections agency. The collections agency they use is nasty, condescending and refused to accept payment and told me my bill increased by $95 and that I would also have to pay legal fees for going to court. It seems unethical and like an unnecessary shake down. I don’t understand, if the office miscommunicated to me when I tried to pay my bill, why the collections agency never sent me further bills. You think they would fed ex me a letter for $3 or confirm my address before going the extreme route of hiring a lawyer and filing in small claims court, but this is not the case. I have private insurance that paid them their contracted rate. I attempted to pay my co-pay on date of service and called a few months after receiving a bill and tried to pay the amount I received a bill for, but was told I had no balance. Here I am- ultimately I’ve paid 32% more than I owed and am facing a day off work to go to court and legal fees….and it took many phone calls- like an entire afternoon- to get them to take payment for my amount plus the 32%….and the headache isn’t over because I still have to show up in court or else it will be settled in their favor. I’d pick another provider because going here is not worth the headache!Berkley Family

One star is honestly too much! I came to this facility to have imaging done. And the front desk receptionist CINDY was rude, loud and distasteful!! She was loud talking about my personal information while other clients were around and violating HIPPA. She declined me from being seen although my insurance approved my procedure. She made up a intricate story making it seem like my insurance was not approved when indeed it was!! I was highly upset that I had to leave only to call back and reschedule and being Informed that I SHOULD have still been seen. She works in poor taste and should NOT be servicing customers in this delicate field.Pure Bliss

I wish they took appointments for x-rays, you're not sure how long you'll have to wait and, while waiting, it looks like people wait, socially distanced, standing in a 4 foot wide hallway. When i arrived, I was able to get into the waiting room but when i left, there were several people standing in the hall, that's the only reason i gave a "4" rating. But, my tech deserves a 5. she had orders to put me in weird position given the surgery i had recently. She checked with the physician to make sure and was able to do the X-ray as painlessly and gently as possible. She did a great job!Jeff Carlson

I was a little skeptical after reading reviews but had to take my dad to Er and he had to go to a VA hospital. From the moment we walked in the door staff were friendly and helpful. All ER nurses and doctors were awesome. He had one nurse assigned to him (Billy) who was amazing. Answered all our questions. My dad is from out of state so they took the time to read his records since I didn’t have all the information. If, god forbid, he needs emergency services again while he is here I won’t hesitate to take him back there!Margaret B

Everything is always and issue with them. Long steps just to try and see my doctor's, so I dont spend what's left of my youth in the ER. They lack communication on all levels. I am constantly having to play cat and mouth chasing my doctor's around to be seen. They are about as pitiful as Bridgeport Hospital's " CARING FOR YOUR LIFE" logo. More like "CARING FOR YOU LIFE MAYBE"Coraly Ocasio

ATTENTION VETERANS! DO NOT VOLUNTEER WITH THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION REPRESENTATIVE PAYEE PROGRAM! IT IS CONTRACTED TO COLUMBUS HOUSE AND I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO TAKE A PASS! ONCE YOU SIGN THE PAPERS YOUR RIGHTS ARE FORFEIT. THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT AND CANNOT INTERCEDE ON YOUR BEHALF.Glen Bradley

My wife and son had an appointment scheduled for 12/23 in the Pediatric Specialty Center & we always go to Park Ave in Trumbull for his check-ups (he has an autoimmune blood disorder). Not only have we tried to attend appointments multiple times with no success, we have been turned away by security for bringing his twin brother with us twice, and they send no confirmation for appointment. Then today my wife gets to the building for what we thought was his hematology appointment, but the front desk schedules for his appointment to be in New Haven and we’ve never been there in our life. The reception at this office have no sympathy for the sick patients that they see day to day, and were quick to turn my son away without treatment. He has had enlarged lymph nodes for over two months with nobody to see him or want to see him. STAY AWAY. We will be taking our son elsewhere.Jayson Velez

I accompanied my parents here the other day, as my father needed to have a fairly comprehensive MRI procedure done, and I must say that this is one beautiful facility. The Meditating Garden is very nice, and quite suitable for it's intent as I spent a good twenty minutes there sitting by the waterfalls, and the art work which was on display throughout was quite pleasing as well. On the ride home, my parents both informed me that the level of quality of service was exceptional, the staff was excellent, all good things were said. I myself felt at absolute peace while here, and know that if I ever need any kind of serious testing done it will be at this center. Highly recommended, and not just for the services offered but also for the wonderful setting of this facility which makes the patient feel very much at ease.George Waters

The building is nice and pretty clean, but i hope you are good at maps and directions once inside. Parking is an absolute nightmare. If you have mobility issues, small children, a stroller/wheelchair, a lot of stuff to carry, etc. plan ahead; give yourself an extra 20 minutes at least. Security and main building reception are some of the least helpful and miserable people I’ve ever seen. I could perform a whole comedy set on how bad they are. It’s like they’re prisoners there lol. I asked one to repeat the literal 5-7 part directions to my appointment inside the building and you would’ve thought I asked her to eat a dead mouse. It’s worse than when you ask a Jamaican restaurant too many questions. Iykyk. I watched some wild racist stuff from security too once so BIPOC be careful there.Lux X

I write this review out of immense gratitude towards this great institution, Yale New Haven Hospital! I lost my father to COVID in October of 2020 when my parents were happily and independently living in India. I requested my mom to come with me after my dad's demise and she came along with me to the US. Her life had come to a screeching halt after my father left, who she was completely dependent upon. Unfortunately, My mother was diagnosed with cancer in April of 2021 while she was in California visiting my sister. We were all distraught hearing this and we asked her to come here for her treatment at Yale. My parents were successfully able to lead a comfortable life in India, but she had no source of income nor any medical insurance when she came to the US. We scheduled our first appointment at Yale with Dr. Judson, a head and neck surgeon who had operated upon my wife before. During our appointment, I met Shannandola at Yale, who worked for Yale's administration and said we would have no choice, but to go for self pay. She humbly guided me to apply for Yale free care. This was a shot in the dark and we had so much on our mind that we did not even hope for anything after applying for it. I received a call from Iris at Yale Financial department regarding my application and she guided me on the additional documents required for the application to be considered. I was able to promptly provide her with all the documents that she requested and within hours of our conversation, I heard back from her giving me a verbal approval for my mother's free care at Yale and all it's subsidiary hospitals and clinics. This felt like a call from God. I literally started crying on the call and we all hugged and started to cry out of joy after the call as a family. My mother was relieved beyond words could express! My mother underwent a successful surgery that lasted 13 long hours with 3 surgeons working tirelessly to remove her cancer. She underwent chemo and radiation therapy at Yale along with physical and speech therapy. this was all done at 0 charge to her. My mother fought like a brave soldier and was working hard to recover from the strong side affects from the radiation. She developed severe aspiration pneumonia and we lost our mother unfortunately due to the complication from the radiation in September of this year. My family and I are incredibly grateful to Yale for all that they have done for us. Sickness, Life and death are beyond our control unfortunately, but she was relieved from a major financial burden by this kind and benevolent act of Yale.Utkarsh Jhala

My first time ever being hospitalized was last year April with Covid. It was by far the worst experience ever, I told people whenever God decides to give me a child, I will look into home birth. Animals probably get better treatment. I went in for Covid and next thing I knew, I was being treated like a psych patient. Yes they say Covid did alot to people, but if wasn't for the fact that I gave my life completely to the Most High God on that hospital bed. Then I probably would have been died like countless people who were ignored, starved, given unnecessary medications and have your rights as a patient ignored. When I tried to complain about what was happening to me, many didn't believe because it sounded like something out of a movie. I tried to tell them, "they are trying to kill me." My life flashed infront my face twice, I had 2 near death experience and it was not due to Covid, it was due to the medications the nurses admistered and my heart stopped. My phone got taken away and they try to say I was hitting staff, woke up in restraints and given IV medications against my will. If you come to draw someone's blood while they are sleeping, obviously they will move. Some people should not be taking care of others. Many healthcare professionals also needs a spiritual life, because due to the medication they gave me, it weakened my body and I had a horrible spiritual attack. I asked for a priest or pastor and I was denied. One of the doctor who work at the VNA that works at yale was the worse. I never told them I was in nursing so they had no clue that I was aware of certain things. It goes to show you that people take their bias to work and treat patients worse than animals. It starts with the EMT. I had to take time out from schooI and was unable to work when I first came out the hospital. I had to learn to trust humanity again. I have never been to prison, but this was beyond horrifying. I have never had issues with my liver and the amount of medications they gave me did some harm to my liver and overall immune system. I am a child of the Most High God and he always fight my battles for me. Only a few nurses and staff members were caring. One needs to be prayed up when they are visiting the hospital or being hospitalized, because there is so many spirits in hospitals.Kemecia Arthur

First let me say that the doctors, nurses, and all of the staff at Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) are fantastic. The medical care is great. With that said, the food service if you are a vegan is terrible. If you are going to be spending any time at YNHH and are a vegan, please bring your own food as best you can. I had a procedure where I stayed overnight and I got to a room at about 9PM. The food service closes at 8PM. I asked the nurse what they had to eat as I had not eaten due to the procedure in about 20 hours. All they had was sandwiches; Turkey, Ham, and Beef. They had zero vegan options. The nurse was able to find me dry breakfast cereal, and tiny cups of peanut butter. Later she found me a little fruit cup like you would send to school with your children their lunch. That is all I had to eat. In the morning I went to order something and the "menu" has some things marked as "plant based". Turns out they do not mean vegan, they mean 'mostly plants with some animal products'. The marking was inconsistent, as an apple was not marked as plant based, but a meal that had milk in it was. You have call their food service and ask them to list the ingredients of anything you think might be vegan to find out as their staff does not know either. Come on YNHH, get your act together, this is 2022! Support vegan food at the hospital. Food service wise, I give them an "F".Robert Orion

So Google thinks every time I ride or walked PAST an area that I've become an expert on it. It's a parking garage. Hourly, Daily and possibly even weekly rates of you play your cards well and brib the grounds keeper. If that's how it works.Walter Perry

Over subscribed. Glaciers move faster than the staff at the pay window. One exit with no traffic control on busy street can make for long waits at rush hour and the gates close at 8PM so not appropriate for weekend evening parking.Hobart Patrick Young

Easy access to Union Station. About a 5 minute walk away, right past the PD but stay cautious at night. It's 24/7, not staffed, you use a credit card to gain access, the same card gets you out and gets charged. $20 daily maxAJ Belanger

You make an appointment and they take forever to call you in. I have taken off from work to come to this appointment and I waited over an hour for them to call me. I dont even know what time they called me because I ended up leaving. The wait time is absolutely ridiculous. I will never return to this clinic ever. They should have better communication if they are running behind.Lisa Aponte

called to ask to speak with dr. clark regarding medication. the receptionist was very mocking in her tone about my issue, and immediately hang up on me. called back two times and had her hang up everytime. you don't keep these people around. someone could be having an emergency, and the last thing they need is someone treating them as if they are not important.Star Chaser

Dr. Gulati, and the entire staff at the Winchester clinic are amazing! The amazing care and service they provided my mother got her back on her feet and made such a big difference in our lives after being diagnosed with a lung condition that heavily affected our lives. I can’t thank the Winchester Clinic enough for all their hard work!michelle ali

My one star is not for the school itself, it's for the staff in this school. If you want to see nasty attitudes go here. Applying for school you're greeted by dirty looks and or the "what do you want look". They make you not want to go into the office. The people in the business office are no help, the dean is NEVER available, and God forbid you have financial issues (fees added after programs/classes were paid in FULL), They Don't help… even with receipts. If I was to give 5 stars, it would go the bookstore. Those ladies are the best in customer service. They greet you, answer questions, and have no issues point you the right direction. If you ask me they should be the ones working in the administration office. They make you feel welcomed.Yahaira M

Almost impossible to get done what you want done in a reasonable time. Going to take me an extra year for literally 1 class because they don’t have enough seats for me, won’t overfill seats, and overall because they didn’t seem to set my schedule up the way it should’ve been my freshman year so that this didn’t happen. Looks like I’m quitting with an Assosiates and going to trade school because I’m not going to keep paying thousands of dollars for me to not be going anywhere. No help from anyone, easier to go somewhere else.Nora Homicki

I attended this school as late as 2008. This school is of terrible quality. With few outliers, the teaching staff I encountered was "bottom of the barrel". My 'veteran' math teacher, spoke English as a second language! I did poorly at this school, and yet, I had never been a poor performing student in the past. Thankfully, I finished my degree elsewhere with a much higher GPA. I would describe myself as creative & a self starter.John Appleman

As previous reviews state this University is actively promoting medical discrimination. I phoned the University and asked why they are choosing to this and I was greeted with remarks such as "Being vaccinated isn't a choice, it's a responsibility" There are so many Universities that don't actively promote this, I hope these guys come to their senses.Jeremy Brochu

I’m happy to be sending my child to a school that protects the students and staff by enforcing a vaccination policy. All of this medical discrimination talk makes me laugh out loud…good riddance!Chris engelhardt

Beautiful campus inside & out. Met the Dean total professional & extremely nice. The place was spotless clean & everyone was very nice. Security was excellent going in and out.Marlo S
