20 Best Radiology Programs In Phoenix, AZ (2022 Updated)

I've had a wonderful experience here, and I've been to 2 other universities. The faculty & professors all actually care about you as an individual. Your life outside of class and your goals matter to them. Class size is small! I've never been in one bigger than about 13. You'll start to recognize faces, and it's easy to make friends & find friendly mentors. There are so many helpful outlets to apply for scholarships and other aid. Tutoring is free and convenient hours for it. Also, very helpful transfer experts who assist you in going to ASU, if that's a goal of yours. My only complaint is that sometimes a class doesn't fill up enough, while it's taking enrollment, so then they have to cancel the class if not enough interest. But I would definitely recommend coming here — I'd say it's the ideal community college.McKenzie Wilkins

South Mountain has the greatest and most diverse students and it is a joy to teach them. I always look forward to the start of the semester when my classroom fills with great gifts, ready to learn. Its seems as though the entire community is represented, young, old, every color, faith, culture, awesome vets. I teach CIS105, Survey of Computer Information Systems, and have never used a textbook, nor do my students have to purchase any software.. As a futurist, I enjoy preparing my students for their future. My students end their semester with me with a professional portfolio of their work from throughout the semester which is their own to keep.Laurita Moore

As a student and student worker this college exceeds every expectation I could have ever had for Community College and my first Community College. Advisors are Hands-On and want you to succeed. They will work with you and all types of ways to see succeed and do well. And they look into all possible resources to help you through your college experience in any way possible. They also have free counseling services, tutoring, disability resources, scholarships and grants, student life and so much more it's amazing. Also cheaper than any of the major universities.Olivia Rucker (Liv)

As someone who isn’t from the USA and relocated from United Kingdom , it was important that I made the correct choice when it came to education in the United States , after doing my research and reaching out to different schools who have a massage program I chose gateway because from the first contact with Mr Tapscott he was super friendly , passionate and helpful , he made sure I had all the information I needed and he directed me to the right place to complete my registration to the program . The price is amazing and they definitely can charge way more for the service they provide , gateway and especially Mr Tapscott made the process so easy and comfortable . My first day of class was so welcoming and they went the extra mile to make sure I/ we students were comfortable , I had the best experience at gateway and this experience was due to my fellow classmates but mostly for the teachers attitude and pride in teaching , Mr Tapscott , ms bouer, and mr Ybarra were amazing , they are so good at what they do and the effort and dedication they put in to each and every student sets them apart from any other education opportunity I’ve taken , we created a family and this includes the teachers , they allowed us to learn at our own pace and didn’t disrespect us , they encouraged us , the material in the program was inspiring and the method of teaching made the learning fun , it was a pleasure to go to gateway for the 9 months of the program and I looked forward to seeing my teachers and classmates everyday throughout the course , the program allows for Externship which gives us the opportunity to work with others in the community also work with employers of massage therapy , it gives you an insight to what to expect after the program . This in my option gives you the experience and confidence to be successful in your future , I love Mr Tapscott and is in my opinion an amazing teacher , a kind , honest , trustworthy person who has pride in his work , he has a pride for everything he does or talks about , I couldn’t of asked for a better college to attend and I am blessed to be apart of the experience and to see people who are passionate about what they do to improve peoples lives . I felt included and that I had a voice within this experience. Today I am a massage therapist after attending this program I’m excited to go into the community prepared and ready and that is all thanks to gateway and Mr Tapscott , thank you so much for everything, thank you for the experience you create , thank you for the love you give , your an amazing guy sir . Thank you GATEWAY thank you thank you thank you !!!!!Simon Richards

I recently graduated from the Massage Therapy Program at Gateway. Mr. Tapscott and his team were the most supportive, inspirational, knowledgeable and humorous group of instructors I have ever studied under. Mr. Tapscott taught the online portion of the course that was heavily weighted in anatomy, physiology and introduction to massage therapy. Mr. Tapscott was always offering assistance to students and following up on financial aid, GI Bill funding, finding places to do externships, or assisting with any other issues the students may have faced. The lab portions of the class were taught by Mr. Ybarra and Ms. Bauer, both experienced massage therapists, both dedicated to successful outcomes for all the students. Mr. Ybarra is known for his demonstrations on various massage and stretching techniques during labs. All three instructors shared a great many stories of their experiences in the massage industry. This team of teachers worked very well together and created an environment where the students felt proud to be part of the class and continuously improved in their massage skills through out the course. Each teacher has a great sense of humor, will be direct if there are issues to address but they are always respectful and professional. The program was also the start of many long lasting friendships and a successful future in the massage industry for myself. I highly recommend the Gateway Massage Therapy Program for anyone that has a desire to improve peoples lives.Kathleen Dimitruck

DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!!! I have been attending this school for a while. When I had enrolled I wasn’t given proper information. I do online school and I’ve been struggling with math and biology and to my surprise the instructors do not put the effort in to help other students online. I went in to speak to an advisor and low and behold she didn’t help either. I have a learning disability and stated that information to the advisor and the best answer she gave me was “unfortunately we don’t have special services for students who have disabilities” I’m in the process of getting my associates degree in DMS and no advisors informed me before I started the program that I needed to take an HESI Exam. Another thing is for students who do the online classes, students have to their webcams on to take the tests/quizzes but don’t require it during other class time such as completing assignments. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS SCHOOL!!! THERE IS NO HELP WHAT SO EVER AND DONT HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!! And because I struggle in math, I’ve tried free Tutoring and they only available for an hour and if you need more time you need to make a new appointment. An hour gets 3 questions done and they still don’t walk you through the process.Monica Balderrama

Signing up was easy, I was provided help at every step in order to insure my success when I completed my diploma, I felt confident enough to move forward with a degree. Once I completed my diploma and as I have been working on my degree I have had the best career advisor. Even though life got busy with work, school and home issues and sometimes I did not respond, my career counselor Marianne Cooper never gave up on me. I am happy to say I have found employment and couldn't be happier, thank you to Brookline college, it's teaching staff as well as every one else who helped me in moving toward improving my educatuon as well as my financial situation, you are the best!Nicole Adrian

I attended Brookline College online in the Medical Office Administration program. From the beginning at admission, to the instructors and career services it has been a great experience. Everyone was always willing to assist you with whatever is needed and very responsive to all communication. This program has taught me a lot and has given me the experience and knowledge needed to make the transition into the career field I've always wanted to be in. I would recommend Brookline College to anyone wanting to make that life change as I was!Melissa Martinez

Today is a great day! I just graduated the MA program ! I’m so proud of myself, I’ve learned so much! I always been very shy and working through the MA I’ve really come out of my shell. Thank you Mrs. Lisa for being my cheerleader and helping me with my resume! Mrs. Lisa even called a employer and scheduled me for a interview tomorrow! Thank you Ms. April for helping me finish my program strong! If you are looking for a great college Brookline has an amazing MA program! Take it from they really care!Christina Estrada

I absolutely love the RT program here, the instructors are probably the best I have ever had. They have super high standards, but they also help you reach those high standards. The school is a bit pricey, but you get helpful instructors, with real experience, and who are ready to assist you whenever you need it. Plus, the hands on experience in class is a huge benefit. The only two downsides is not the program itself, but the food and beverage options in the school “cafe”, and the uniforms. For the price of the program, the uniforms are very stiff, and definitely nothing close to decent quality. So, if your enrolling, make sure to put some $$ aside to buy comfortable scrubs that actually fit you. As for the cafe, it would be great to have a real coffee machine (not instant coffee), so we don’t have the need to go off campus for caffeine. Overall though, I love my program, the instructors, and the new career PIMA is helping me prepare for. I definitely would recommend PIMA to anyone who wants to actually start a new medical career!Christina Romero

This school is easy to get started at. I was admitted to the RT program immediately after taking some brief tests and completing a mock study schedule. It is not a cheap option, but the wait list for cheaper schools is two years long…so I decided to get my schooling done rather than wait. I hope that the high price of education here all goes to the instructors, because they are the only worthwhile part of attending here. The admissions staff will make whatever promises they need to make to get you signed up, even if it is something they can’t deliver. The facility and equipment is old. The programs are fast paced and will leave you behind unless you are serious about learning the material.Derek Aaron

Choosing Pima Medical Institute and their Respiratory Therapy program was one of the best decisions my family and I have made. The program was very thorough and straightforward in the teachings. The thing I enjoyed the most was the constant engagement you were able to have with the instructors. Everyone is very open and willing to help in any situation whether it was school related or just life in general. The PD is amazing and she will do everything in her power to make sure you are not only a successful graduate but you are a successful RRT for many years to come. After completing the Respiratory program I passed my boards and I was offered multiple jobs on many different levels.Cody Morrow

This medical assistant program was everything I wanted out of a school and my education. Growing up in Hawai’i and the culture there it has become an instinct to seek out anything that feels like a community. I graduated at the beginning of February of this year and after completing 11 weeks of externship here is what I have learned: Any other MAs I work with are extraordinary at their jobs; personable, professional, HIPAA compliant, OSHA compliant, etc. They are wonderful MAs all in their own way but what I feel is profoundly different from them, their education, and the one I have gotten is knowing my scope of practice. It’s become apparent that many MAs like to be directed on what to do and when to do it for their patients, and that’s amazing, however, it is well within our scope of practice to ask questions, to advocate on our patients behalf, and to educate our patients on, not only their rights, but their medical care. My coworkers often ask me WHY I am always going to the providers and asking if a certain treatment will benefit our patient.. well, because I was given the confidence and the knowledge to know that, while I may not suggest or recommend any treatment to a patient, I CAN ask a provider if something different will help our patient. Sometimes they tell me no and every time they have it has been another opportunity to learn. In the often times they do take my inquiries under consideration, more often than not, I find that the treatment/patient care has benefited our patient 1. Because it makes them feel and let’s them know we are all in with them. 2. They are the ones who are actually in control when we’re in a room together. And 3. They just need to be reminded that simple fixes don’t always exist and it’s okay to ask/research what may work for them. It is because of The Allen School that I am not the kind of medical assistant who applies my medical knowledge to my patient.. instead, I apply every patient, their symptoms, their history, and their experiences, to my medical knowledge and build from there. Being in the medical field (especially working in womens health) is what I was born to do. Allen School and my instructors fueled my passion more everyday. I can only hope to represent them to the best of my ability and to continue being the medical assistant I would wish for every single one of my loved ones to have. Allen school is not easy, no one should attend expecting to float through the program without being challenged.. this program cultivates wonderful and highly sought after MAs for a reason. What I will say is, the education you choose could make a difference in how you care for someone’s loved one, you have to ask yourself.. do you want the best education or not? Would you want the MA you have caring for you to be as educated and prepared as they possibly can be? Allen School isn’t perfect.. but you will leave there knowledgeable, you will leave there prepared for your externship, and you will leave knowing you can return to a community that will be there for you. I would like to add that Tara Evans, the externship advisor/coordinator is an absolute god-send. She, too, was born for her position and her passion for Human Resources and matching an MA to the specialty they feel their heart is called to is unmatched. And Dr. Hunt, both an instructor and the director of the school, absolutely will call on you to show up, everyday, as the best version of yourself and.. she will always require that you can defend your knowledge. If you are not sure if this school is a good fit for you, you can tour the campus and ask the student advisor any/all questions you may have. You can come by and meet instructors and see the students in their class-setting. It was the best decision I have ever made for myself but more importantly for my current and future patients.Rubyan Rodriguez

I have only been here for two months but my experience has been very well. The faculty has a very good depth of knowledge in their own area of practice and have a clear understanding of the Medical Assistant role. The Doctor Directing the entire program teaches some of the more challenging classes and shares real life scenarios while presenting the material to help give a better understanding that will help us grasp the subject. Each instructor is always open to answer questions in or outside the classroom. What I also like is that tutoring is available everyday after school. The school has a recognition program, where certain students are recognized for certain achievements in front of their peers every 5 weeks. I look forward to completing the program and starting a new career by the end of the year. I'm glad I chose Allen School of Health Sciences.IRENE GONZALES

The Allen school of health sciences has by far been the best choice i have made in my life. Going into the school I was nervous and excited to open the door to my career, however there was nothing to be nervous about. All the instructors and staff treat you as if you are one of their own and are willing to help you no matter what. Whether it be personal life and you need someone to talk to or if you need help academically, they are always there. My classmates have become my family and there is nothing I would change about my experience. I would like to personally thank Dr. Hunt for believing in me and giving me the chance to have a better life. It's a lot of hard work but will always be worth it in the long run. Thank you Allen school family❣️Kiley Murphy

When I found Pima, I was still trying to finish high school. A friend told me that Pima could help me with that. So I decided to schedule the appointment and meet with admissions. Walking through the front door of Pima, you're greeted by the most friendly people with such welcoming smiles. Everyday, I walk through the doors to go to class and I always get a "Hi Hannah!" from Melissa at the front desk. It always makes me smile. I met with Mandy for my admissions meeting and as we started to talk about me and why I was there, I began to get emotional. She listened. She let me cry. And she helped me find a way to start my journey. And I couldn't thank her enough. When I went into Pima that day, I didn't think it was going to be a program I'd finish. I hadn't finished anything yet. So I didn't see this working either. Boy, was I wrong! After meeting with Mandy, I got to meet Stacey, the director. She was amazing! We talked and laughed and she helped me feel so welcome at Pima. It took me less than a month to finish the half of high school I needed because this team at Pima had my back. They checked on me and made sure I had the help and support I needed. And even invited me to a graduation ceremony to show me that even though I wasn't graduating a Pima program, it still mattered that I graduated! Mandy helped me find a program that fit my personality. And now, I'm 2 weeks away from starting my externship in Phlebotomy. Mrs. Tracey is an absolutely wonderful teacher! She has taught us all how to safely and correctly perform Phlebotomy. She's the best teacher I have ever had. She supports us and cares about us. And I really wish class wasn't over yet, because I'll miss her. Pima is a wonderful school with an amazing and supportive staff. I will never forget them! Thank you all for EVERYTHING!scitulzz66

I am currently in the Vet Assistant program here at Pima!!! I have not been in school for 25 years so I was really nervous and hesitant to start. I must say I am so happy I did. Choosing Pima has been the greatest decision I’ve ever made. Miss Lori was amazing with my prerequisite classes. Miss Julie Carlson is my current on campus teacher for my Vet Assistant program and I have learned so much from her. I am so grateful that she is my main teacher for my program! If you are thinking about any program Pima offers, I urge anyone to call and set up a tour!! Everyone from the administrators to the teachers have been so helpful and encouraging!!! Thank you Pima staff and administrators, especially Miss Julie Carlson!!Samantha Duran

My experience in the Vet Tech and Vet Assist programs have been so amazing. The teachers here try their best to help their students and open opportunities for them. Chris in the Assist programs was an amazing teacher and wanted the best for her students and truly wanted to see her students succeed. Kati in the Tech program really cares for her students and tries her best to get us amazing hands on experiences by reaching out to different organizations. Alicia was an amazing influence who makes sure you understand the concepts and picks you up when you feel like you’re failing. This is truly a great program.Mekenziey Savage

I went to Altrain Dental Assisting Academy to get a fresh start in life and a new direction. I had such an amazing time there. The instructors were knowledgeable and made each and everyday fun and exciting. I got the hands on experience that I needed to work in a fast paced office. The staff not only helped prepare me for interviews but got me daycare assistance as well. They went out of their way to ensure my success. I graduated and shortly after got offered a full time job in a beautiful office with an amazing dentist. I would recommend Altrain to anyone looking to start a new career in this high demand field. I can guarantee after getting know the staff and educators at this school they will work just as hard for you as they did for me. Best decision I’ve ever made for myself and my family.Sarah Whitcomb

I am writing to 40-50 plus students. My self & another student in my class the experience with Altrain was very intense & difficult. The studies are very fast & memorazation was the key which was hard for over 50. Hands on was quick & if you were lucky we could do it again during the training. I learned more on "youtube" I felt if I confronted or brought up issues I was told I would hold up the class. Pamphlet mentioned Altrian would treat you like family NOT so. Finished the program 3 weeks ago & still WAITING on certifacate, which I was told it would be be mailed. Good luck, I would've chose a different Academy.Rozita Dee

Altrain Dental Assisting Academy was such an amazing school!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone interested in going into the dental field. It costs less than all other dental assisting schools. The teachers at Altrain care for all students and no one gets left behind! 13 weeks all hands on learning, which really prepares you for futures jobs. What I loved most with Altrain is the school stays by your side even after the programs ends, they help with preparing for work interviews/interviews, job placement, resumes and anything else you may need! Going to Altrain was the best decision I’ve ever made!Ashley Major

I am in LOVE with this school. Before this school, i had gone to 2 different community colleges and 1 university all for different things. I kept failing, and felt like i was at my lowest and I felt as though I would never succeed at anything because I thought I was too dumb. I am 23. So I was frantically trying to figure out what to do. March 28, 2022 I dropped out of college for the last time. A couple days later, I came to UEI, did a tour, fell in love, and enrolled in Dental Assisting. I came in knowing next to absolutely NOTHING about dental. I was scared! I usually get horrible grades in school, I graduated high school in 2017 with a barely passing GPA. I started 3 weeks later on April 26, 2022. Let me just say, I just started my FIFTH month of school already and each month I've been here, I've gotten HONOR ROLL! I couldn't believe it. I am thriving so well in this school and every single employee and student I've met are so nice. We are all like a giant family. If it wasn't for Marcella in the office or how good this school is, I wouldn't be at this school. Marcella gave me my first impression of this school, and It was fantastic. She is the nicest woman I've ever met and she hypes me up! I have an interview coming up for a dental assistant position! I have learned so much at this school. I know so much now. Mr. Davis is an EXCELLENT instructor. Class is never boring with him around. I am a hands on and visual learner, so I never get bored or tired in class. But in high school, or my previous colleges, I got sleepy after sitting at the desk for 30 minutes. I am thriving at this school, and I'm honestly so sad that I will be done by January. I go to Externship in 2 months and I am HYPED.Nicole Marie

UEI in Phoenix Arizona is a joke! The HVAC program is not organized. The instructor is always out. It is not enough hands on. They make you pay while your in school and then you have to turn around and pay for the other loans after you graduate. I get it after you graduate, but while your in school trying to better yourself is insane! And it is not cheap.You can never get a professional person on the phone. The job fair was horrible! The medical program is what makes UEI, but he HVAC program is horrific! My son is honor roll haven't missed a beat, he has honor roll certificates all over the house. He comes home discouraged and when I here him sayI went to school for nothing it feels like he is wasting all this time and money and have not learned anything, But the minimum. Most of his learning is online more than hands on. this is a hands on job.. Why so much online.you certainly can't learn by someone talking all the time. At the rate UEI is going.I wonder will he be able to find a job when he graduate. He was once excited maybe two months in. Then afterwards his whole attitude changed. I encourage all who is deciding to get in this program. Please take your time and check out other colleges and make sure the instrucror is there and make sure your child does not have to worry about paying on a loan while in school. this is very frustrating to the student.. Please do your research before signing on the dotted line PLEASE.Sabrina Levi

There's something suspicious about the financial aid disbursement at this school. I haven't figured it out but I know when I started here I had my own home and 2 cars and that was in Feb of 2021. I still haven't received my certificate yet for medical billing and coding and I now am homeless living in a shelter with my daughter We have absolutely nothing and I receive harassing phone calls almost everyday from corporate stating I owe $3000 I wish I would've never enrolled here at this school. I just want my certificate already it's long overdue but I can't seem to finish my externship hours because there's one thing after another that stops me Personal opinion, THIS SCHOOL IS A JOKE AND A FRAUD Go to another school not this one It's just been a disappointment for me, I feel like I went to school studied so hard for absolutely nothing This school hasn't helped me better my life one bitPaulette Mendoza

This STI location is AMAZING!! I started coming here for a shoulder injury about 5 weeks ago and I must say, BEST PT place I’ve been to. I have been in PT before and it always seemed to be so repetitive without a therapist spending much time with me. Ill be in and out in an hour and don’t seem to get any better. This place is so different. I’m here for almost 2 hours on average and I get serious “therapy” for my injury. Cupping, dry needling, adjustments, e-stim. You name it, I get it here. Equipment and clinic is SO CLEAN. Staff is amazing. Wendy will greet you and is so friendly and sweet. Isaak, David, and Humi are the 3 guys that run the clinic and each one of them is so awesome. Isaak is my therapist and I see him 3x a week. I can honestly say that I saw improvement within the first 2-3 weeks with less pain and more mobility. Today, at week 5, I have already gone from being in constant left shoulder, left neck, left trap pain, to being way more comfortable most of the time; just intermittent pain with movement and usage which is progress progress progress!! :-). I feel extremely safe and secure with Isaak(my therapist) and his knowledge and abilities. He really takes an interest in each patient and what their needs are. I’m sure I’m forgetting something but bottom line is, if you are reading this and are looking for a Physical Therapist, search not more. This place rocks. 💪Lizzy

I've had experience with PT at various times during my 70+ years and in a number of States. STI is the best experience I've had. My Dr sent me to Isaak at the Osborn St, Phoenix, location. The idea was to see if Therapeutic Massage would help with MS pain. I began seeing Isaak in Aug and by March I was much better. The painful knots in my legs is almost gone. We are still working on my back muscles, which are also painful. My walking and balance has improved. I am a work in progress; Isaak will continue to see me twice a week for maintenance. And as my MS progresses, we will address problems. I look forward to my Appointments. I have fun when I go there as the Staff is outgoing and friendly. When I arrive I'm greeted by Wendy, the Office Manager. Wait time is usually less than 5 minutes. When I started my treatment, they really listened to me describe my Problem, my Pain and my Worries. Isaak thinks "outside the box" and is able to use treatments that work for me. I've had plenty of time to watch the Staff with other Clients. They are Respectful and Professional at all times. Re: Covid-19 – Between Clients, the equipment is sanitized, as are the work tables. Pillowcases and towels are fresh for each Client. All Staff wear masks and they are required for Clients. Thank you Wendy, Isaak, Dave, Nehumi and Wally for making my experience helpful and fun.Janet Gorodon

I am one that never goes by reviews but i was looking for a new physical therapy facility for my father and came upon STI. Nothing but postive reviews i seen. When calling to get the information the front desk gal Wendy was so nice and helpful. Moving forward My father starting coming to this location for his physical therapy and he loves it. He’s been to a few other places but they never worked with him like they do here. They truly focus on their patients and give them the right workout. The staff is friendly and very welcoming! So i highly recommend this STI! thank youMarilyn Cruz

Customer Service was seriously lacking. You have an older female at the front desk that needs some training. Failure to acknowledge my presence other than to say "sign here" followed with come over here. Shows me the dressing room and states "you've been here before right? You know what to do." When I replied no i haven't been here before. She replied well you've had a mammogram before haven't you? Unacceptable. Also the technician was somewhat curt in her instructions and short on patience. I clearly was not moving fast enough and should know what to do.Casey Smith

I had a mammogram and DEXA (bone density) scan done on the same day and the experience was great! I was signed in and taken back immediately to a lovely area. There was a large dressing room with a fresh robe and lockers for all my personal items. The tech was very nice and very professional. She explained what she was doing with clear instructions. She did both my procedures and there was essentially zero wait time. I will definitely be back to Honor Health for next years mammogramKaren Watts-Edwards

The people here at this location are very nice. They are efficient and very calm, so a person feels very comfortable. I always dread having a mammogram. I have usually put it off for at least 2 years and because of Covid it had been 4 years. Now I have been thinking I will come in every year. 😇 thank you for your kindness and efficiency.Sandra Saulters

I went to Banner clinic as a patient because I didn't know where else to go after an ER visit at Banner. I went in to have something checked out and was told to have imaging. The order said ASAP for the imaging. I accepted Banner Clinic's referral to the Warner Banner Imaging site. First the imaging site said that my appoint would be a week out even if the order said ASAP. The reason I was told that it would take a week is so that the Imaging site could check my insurance. (that doesn't make sense to me because I have been using my insurance at the Banner clinic) But I still waited the week. A week later when my 6:45 am appointment came, I showed up on time. After waiting a half hour I was called back by an assistant. A tech met me and said that they are not qualified to provide the type of ultra sound that was ordered. I had to go to a "special imaging site". I immediately began asking why? And why didn't anyone call and tell me this. No satisfactory answer was provided. Just lame excuses. Banner has consistently been a Mickey Mouse operation when it comes to referrals etc. Apparently it is the responsibility of the Imaging Center on Warner to read the doctor's order sometime before the patient arrives. But they didn't. That lack of professionalism is why the Center gets a low score and I still like my doctor. It has been a trend that referrals and other offices and even prescriptions has been shoddy. A bad job was done with this referral and no one even considered calling me before the appointment. I guess they think its funny to turn a patient away. I expect a company like Banner when referring a patient to another Banner office would get something right. But they don't.Tim Colman

Rude people at front desk. They were screaming at person in front of me at 730am. Becase she left her paperwork at home. Letting everybody in waiting room know what kind of tests she was getting. They did this for 35 minutes, making all of us in waiting room late. Then i got a mamagram. I never had anyone be more rude or rough than the woman doing the test. Worst mamagram experience ever! And i have been getting them done for more than 20 years. This office would be why many do not do mamagram screening 🙄Ann Spink

Visited Banner Imaging Tempe on 10-19-2022 for multiple x-rays. The waiting room was clean and neat but lacked a television which would make waiting more pleasant. The receptionist was quick to call me to check in and informed me of a waiting time due to a backup. The waiting wasn't long before being called back. The technician, Leah, was extremely kind, very pleasant and very professional. She was a very good technician.Karen Horan

I wish i didn't have to give a star. My wife graduated at the Tucson location, she got hired to work at the Phoenix location as an on call type of basis, and she recently got accepted to go to grad school here. She wanted a new agenda that she can use for her classes. I noticed my wife had 4 University of AZ agendas she used during her undergrad studies. She could've used an agenda from Walmart but she really liked supporting her school by buying an agenda every year from University of AZ until she graduated with her bachelors degree. Now she's a graduate student and I decided to buy her a new one. When I went to visit the Phoenix campus the security was very rude. They called the library to see if it was okay for me to visit. Really? You have to have permission to view the library? The security told me that I'm strictly only allowed to go straight to the library and no where else. This is a different experience for me because when I visited University of AZ Tucson location they're very kind to family members, visitors, and students. Security is very un-welcoming at the Phoenix location. I don't know why they need to be rude when all they deal with majority of the time is students and family members that are excited to visit the campus of loved ones. Family members that are supportive to the school students and staff. When I arrived to the bookstore I was told that they don't carry or sell agendas of any kind. I looked online for the bookstore and I called the number online. Sadly, the person from the bookstore told me over the phone that University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix location doesn't carry agendas and hung up without saying goodbye or see if I had any further questions. OVERALL, FROM A FAMILY MEMBER OF A UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA GRADUATE, GRADUATE STUDENT, STAFF THAT IS ONLY VISITING THE CAMPUS TO BUY AN AGENDA THIS WAS SUCH A NIGHTMARE AND HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.Fredrick Jones

As a patient, I have come across residents amd instructors from multiple disciplines and here are my concerns about the quality of medical professionals who graduate from this school: 1. I am concerned that residents are being taught greed over patients best interests. This means the graduate will be too quick to perform a medical test when the symptoms that a patient has does not line up with the disease or illness that the patient has. This also means medically unnecessary surgeries and the disrespect of informed consent. 2. The graduate will have no critical thinking skills and lacks the ability to keep up with medical research. This in turn will lead misdiagnosis in patients as well as unnecessary treatment while the underlying condition is not treated. Remember, the medical organizations such as American College of Gynecogy, etc. guidelines are written for the physician best interest and not the patient best interest. Take a look at the 2018 diabetic guidelines and their justification for increasing the recommended A1C levels. Instead of addressing the cost of insulin,, they raised the target A1C levels which in turn has the potential to shorten the life expectancy of diabetics in the long run. 3. The graduate is only educated in the white suburban middle class culture. What does this mean, they will be biased to and quick to judge anyone who does not fit in the white middle class suburban culture which is the majority of America. This includes the rural/country folk like myself.Amber Voigt

Very new and a disorganized mess. That description in cludes the majority of the faculty. The surrounding area in addition to being unsafe at night, lacks even the most remote hint of a collegiate atmosphere.Neutron V

Worst experience ever. I arrived 30 minutes early for an 8:00 appointment. At the time of my appointment the receptionist indicated there was no tech on site. She contacted her Manager and still they had no information regarding an arrival of a technician. 45 minutes later Charlene scheduled me to another office. Once I found out my insurance took SMIL I immediately canceled Simon Med. Simon Med is off my list of providers. This is unacceptable. I should have been informed immediately. I asked if they had other appointments scheduled with this technician. She said yes. Apparently they will be inconvenienced today as well.Karen H

I went to the location at Desert Ridge and from the time I walked in, the ladies at the front were totally wonderful and had me signed in quickly. She was also helpful asking if I would like some water and when she saw I wasn't sure how to use the touch free machine, she didn't say anything but quickly came and showed me. Then the guy came to take me back and he was one of the most cheerful people talking and laughingstock with me. As I left I thought how good I felt.Cynthia Shuler

Best service I’ve had in any medical facility! With walk in x-ray I thought ‘I’m gonna be here for hours’. I filled out the paperwork, read 1 page of my book on my phone and was called in. 10 minutes later I was driving back home. The tech (I wish I got his name) was friendly and efficient. Try them, you’ll love ‘em!Mal Daily

I would love to put 0 stars if I could. This place is a JOKE. Since they don't take appointments for an xray (which is absurd) I decided to show up 30 mins before the office even opened, so that I was the first patient to be seen. Sike. Even one of the techs saw me and verbally said, "sit here since you've been waiting and are my first patient". And I did. Yet they called several others before me, who weren't even waiting as long. Ridiculous. When I ask the receptionist what kind of wait time we're looking at, that poor girl was so confused and clearly could hardly handle her job. She just kept saying, "I have all these papers" rather than, "let me get someone who can assist", or at least something beneficial. She basically chuckled and went back to typing, so asking her anything is pointless. Never coming back here and would like to avoid SimonMed in general because they're trash. The xray tech was super nice so I appreciate her help getting me through thr process and on my way as quickly as she could. Overall, don't waste your time here because they surely will.shania addington

This is the worst place to go to get imaging at. I suffered an injury at work, had to get an x-ray returned to my Dr a week later and they still hadn't received the results!!! It's ridiculous!!! I went to the following week to my Dr again and same thing my Dr called several times before my visit to make sure they would send the results before my visit and their incompetent staff still didn't have my stuff ready. I had a 2 hour visit with my Dr because she didn't want me to have to wait again!!!! I fractured my back and couldn't start treatment sooner because of them!!!Sandra

When arriving it seem to me like it was pretty busy but once checked in, I was still called to the back for my x-rays quickly. Once to the back where I was greeted by the lady taking my x-rays. She was very fast professional and friendly. I was in and out very quick so overall gonna say they did a great job and I will continue to go to that location in the future in case you’re wondering it is located at 32nd Ave. and Peoria Phoenix ArizonaDennis Murphy

Walked in and there was only the young man at the desk. He asked for my paperwork I passed it to him then asked why I was there I told him Xrays. He asked what my insurance was and when I told him, he rudely said no that’s not your insurance it is only for people under 18 and you are not 18 very rudely. I apologized and told him I would call and get the matter figure it out. I sat down and started my phone call. He began playing a loud game on his phone, then again he rudely picked up my paper and said do you want your paper back there is nothing I can do to help you. I said no thank you I’m on the phone going to figure this out . Once again he rudely told me that that was not my insurance plan because I was not under18. The whole time his customer service unwelcoming and rude I did not feel welcome whatsoever. I sat on hold for 15 minutes and all of a sudden he said I need your ID. I handed it over to him and asked if I needed to stay on hold to get it figured out he said no that apparently I was right and the Insurance plan I had stated in the beginning was mine and I was covered by it. The whole time no eye contact no apology just rude. And back to his game. On the other hand the X-ray tech was such a sweetheart and very welcomingNessa Guerrero

While the nurses who performed my X-rays and sonograms were very professional and courteous. The young man at the front desk need some work. I was there over two days getting two separate procedures done and the first day I watched him deal with many patients but in very abrupt fashion never really courteous. The second day when I came in from my appointment, he was asleep at the desk, yes asleep I woke him up told him I had an appointment he looked at my appointment looked at how long my appointment was and made the comment of oh I’ll get a good long nap for your appointment I had my procedure, and when I came out, the young man was asleep again here’s a photo below. I think he got some work to do there. Simon med.David Tadiello

If you really consider the amounts of reviews left for the facility I would seriously recommend getting a new person at the front desk. He is extremely unprofessional and was badgering the girl next to him who was assisting from another office while IN FRONT OF THE PATIENTS. It's an extremely small waiting room where everything can be heard. I will never return to this SimonMed facility, I really wish Estrella's Xray machine would've been operable as it would have saved me 40 min of misery.Chantel Jimenez

Best experience I’ve ever had!!! I’m extremely claustrophobic and deal with anxiety and panic attacks. This was my third time trying to get a MRI done. Thank you to this SimonMed Location’s staff who were sooooo encouraging, patient, understanding, calm, and positive, I was able to get my MRI done in ease. They were so quick and did exactly what they said and I asked them for a billion requests to make me feel comfortable and they were just beyond amazing!! Medical offices and machines can be scary for some of us and these necessary qualities make a world of a difference for us to be able to get through it. Thank you to all three of the MRI techs and the front desk staff!! Y’all are wonderful.Dorna Sepehri

I want to start off by saying that I am EXTREMELY claustrophobic. So, I don't do well with MRI's. I went in kind of on edge. The girl in the front, explained how it works. Very accurate in her description. I knew what to expect. Very comforting. The tech in back, walked me through the process also. No surprises in the whole process. It took about an hour and, I was so relaxed that I didn't even notice the time. Very friendly staff. I would definitely go back if I ever need another MRI. Great experience. Thank you for that. It is very much appreciated.K. J.

Yesterday I went for my MRI.I am extremely claustrophobic. I mean EXTREMELY! I cannot seat in the back of a car… or wear a seatbelt or lock the door to the bathroom!!. But the staff was so helpful and understanding. The machine is not that uncomfortable and you get to watch TV!! The machine was loud but the ear plugs the gave me worked fine. If you need an MRI, please don’t hesitate because of your phobia. Believe me if I can do it, anyone canWilliam Annes

I was referred to SimonMed by my provider with an info sheet provided by SimonMed. I traveled to 3 different locations which are supposed to have X-ray according to that info sheet but could not get my imaging done. One location did not have X-ray at all and other two locations told me that they were done with X-rays for the day. I tried to call before walking in but was not possible to get info on X-ray schedule/availability yet the waiting time on the phone. At the 3rd location, I given a reservation for the next day. When I arrived at the reserved time at Ahwatukee North location, I was told that X-ray technician will come more than an hour later. When I asked why they did not cancel the reservation or give a courtesy call, I was told they did not have my phone number – which did not make sense because I received an confirmation message on my phone from SimonMed. Overall, I wasted several hours for nothing. I also had X-rays at SimonMed about 2 years ago and had the same problems of needing to travel multiple locations and long wait times due to walk in procedure. Very disappointed to see that they still have similar problems and they don't care about patients' time.Aysegul Demirtas

Where to start. I was contacted by someone that said I could schedule an appointment for an x-ray. I thought that was weird since they are walk-in only. So I scheduled the appointment and got there 10 minutes early. The doors were locked. It was almost 10am and the sign on the door said they opened at 8:30am. So I called them and got transferred to the location directly. Nobody answered. I waited 10 minutes outside in the heat hoping they opened late. At 10am the doors were still locked. So I called back and asked the person to check and see if the location was closed. I waited on hold for 10 minutes only to be hung up on. I have never had a bad experience from SimonMed but this takes the cake. Why schedule me somewhere that's closed? And if they closed unexpectedly at least leave a note on the door. I wasted my time and am not happy about it.Jess N

Shortly after noon today, I left my home in South Mountain for the ahwatukee north location for shoulder x-rays. When I arrived, I was told the tech was going to lunch and could I come back in 40 minutes? She placed a sign on the door saying to come back after 1p. I arrived at 1:09 for the second time and was largely ignored. I went back to the window reminding her I was there for an x-ray, and that she'd scanned the orders. The place was deserted, I was hard to miss. I waited until 1:50, asking if the tech knew I was there. I was assured that I was checked in. I was told at around 2:10 that the x-ray machine was not working, and would I like to go to the other ahwatukee office where there was a half an hour wait. I am called for my x-ray, 2.5 hours after I left my home.Rhoda Lange

1. I had to pay for a procedure that should have been covered by my insurance. I was told that I would need to reschedule to wait for an authorization from insurance, so I paid out of pocket in order to be seen. This was a first for me. 2. I had CT Scan performed the technician improperly inserted the IV needle into my right arm so the site started to bleed into the IV drip. She said she would have to use another area, I suggested she use my hand. She stabbed me in the hand and said the vein was too small. Then she moved over to the left arm, she stabbed me so hard I screamed in pain. There is an actual horizontal cut on my left arm and a knot under the skin. She said my skin was too tough. Seniors are notorious for having thin skin, I am no different. My veins are prominent and I have never had a problem before. I asked for another person to do the IV, he looked at my 3 stick marks and the blood, looked reluctant. So I got out of there before they could cause more damage. Therefore, I paid for an incomplete procedure and left the office bloody, shaking, and in pain. Yes, I have pictures. 3. The same day before the disastrous CT Scan I had an ultrasound performed that was done promptly and pain free.Lawanda Stevens

On last Friday, 10/08/22, I was scheduled for an MRI. The lab didn’t find my order. They couldn’t get a verbal. I later found that your records department set me up in two accounts. Consequently, you had the order but searched in the wrong version of my account. I’m 80 years old. I don’t drive. I have a dear friend who taking me to my lab and doctor appointments. I was truly upset and embarrassed. Also, I had to set up a new appointment with my neurologist. Also, the office said they needed me to pay my bill before they would perform the service. They wanted $150. Said I could do 3 payments of $50. I called one of my sisters from the waiting room and she sent me the money via Zelle. I live entirely on fixed Social Security. MRU was cervical scan for spondylitis. I’m losing function of both arms and hands. I am fortunate enough to have a generous family. Also, I just had a full hip replacement surgery and modification of previous knee replacement. Normally most troubling issues with any provider can be managed without emotional upheaval. Well, it’s not happening here.Walt Seng

I walked in about 10am, I was getting 2 chest xrays, I seen that every chair was full, so I asked about how long of a wait because I would of came back first thing in the morning. The receptionist told me 35 minutes and she instructed me to the back where there were more chairs. Well I was sitting right across from the xray room so I was able to watch everyone come in as called my the technician. Half an hour went by, hour went by, another 15 minutes went by and finally I asked how much longer because the chairs were so uncomfortable! Finally after nearly over 2 hours I was seen! The poor technician never got a break and that's inhumane, they over booked patients and over working her! I don't mind the wait if I'm told correctly but a half an hour is far different from 2 hours! Simon med needs to be more considerate to their staff! The xray technician was sweet, she apologized and was very professional, they are lucky to her as employee.lolo delahuerta

My experience was very bad at this location thanks to the technician who performed my MRI. If I could give zero stars, I would. I take the city buses and on this morning, there was a problem on the bus I was on causing me to be a half hour late. The passengers had to get off and wait for another bus. Upon arrival at the mall where Simon Med is located, I was stressed out and disoriented. I asked the Security to take me over to the clinic. They were so kind and helpful. When I went in for my tests, the technician did nothing but yell orders at me and talk down to me to me in a demeaning manner. I figured it was because I was late. When test was over, this tech reminded me that I came in a half hour late. I told him why and I reminded him that he was 'not a very nice person.' By the way, would he have acted this way if I was with my husband? Before I left, I sat down with the clinic manager, and told her how I felt. After suffering in excruciating pain from a broken back for nine months, trying to do the best I can to endure this injury, I had to go through this. Things happen and the person who is late may not be at fault. This tech behaved like a bone headed idiot. In the future, I will use a different Simon Med location. I don't want to see this tech ever again.Carol Cenn

Well silly me to think they would bill my insurance and then I would pay the difference if owed once a bill was sent to me. And bad on me for not remembering what my last experience was with them. Obviously I don't get much imaging done. I go in the young girl takes my insurance card, runs it and because of the mask I thought she said $11.00 and change. Great! My insurance covers a majority. But to my surprise it was actually $211.00. Of course I'm on the phone immediate ately with my insurance. Last time I got charged and Simon Med owed me money back. Took 4 phone calls to get the refund. Okay, we'll while I'm getting procedure done my insurance is on phone with them, of course there's another number. We didn't even pursue it at that point. Myself and insurance decided to wait and see how they bill the procedure. Stand alone bldg. or Out Patient. Keep in mind that's important and you need to call your insurance anytime any procedure is done outside your primary physician office. Could save you money. So now I wait.Rick Kelso

This is in general a well run medical business. I have had two scans this year and both technicians were highly professional, friendly, and explained things in advance. One of the scans used contrast and a blood test had to be taking quickly and analyzed before we started. The blood test was a surprise, but the technician explained the reason for the test and made me feel comfortable. The results were sent to both of my doctors quickly. My only small criticism of the operation is that they are usually running 30-40 mins late. This last time they said that it took time to verify coverage with my insurance company. It was a reasonable explanation. Although the location is difficult to find the first time (the GPS on your car will get you close, but it is located next to a few other businesses BEHIND the Biltmore Mall – with no clear signage in the front. All that being said, I will always use them as my preferred location when I need a medical scan. NPNeale Perl

No locker keys. So here I am carrying my work computer (didn’t wanna leave it in the car), my phones, my insulin pump that I had to take off and my undergarments around the imaging facility. Then I had to get double dosed on CT contrast cause the tech didn’t time the scan right. At least he was nice about it. I then went to MRI. The tech there was a real jerk. I was feeling just a little icky from the CT contrast. For the MRI I was having they put you in the scanner backwards, put a pillow very high on your chest nearly covering my mouth and then put a cage over that. As soon as he put me in there I realize I don’t have the call button they usually give you. I try to calm myself saying it’s only a short scan (he said 30 minutes). I think I fell asleep and when I woke had no idea if I had been asleep 1 minute or 29 minutes. The tech never spoke to me during the test to give me an update on how much longer. I started feeling really heavy in my chest, hot and like I couldn’t breath and had no idea how much longer I had to stay in there. So I start yelling and he comes and takes me out of the scanner. I ask how much longer, did he get all the images. He just says oh well we did our best and terminates the test. I should add I’ve been through numerous MRIs that were 2 hrs and never had this problem. I should’ve never been put in that scanner with no call bell. And 5 days later and still no results posted to the portal. Can I get those please?Leah Kolesar

You cannot make an appointment for an X-ray. They do X-rays on a walk in basis only. So… you’d think they’d have a check-in line specifically for X-rays, right? Nope! I stood in line over an hour behind two dozen other people who were there for appointments, walk-ins, paperwork questions, etc etc. just to check in and let them know I needed an X-ray. Then I had to wait an additional 45 minutes, I was told by one of the two clerks tasked with checking in an endless line of people. This front office is a classic example of mismanagement at its worst. The tech I met in the back office was professional, courteous and efficient however, so I shall temper my intended one star to three stars. It’s not the staff’s fault SimonMed is so mismanaged and disorganized, it’s the management’s.Susan Walker

Jennifer, the ultrasound technician provided OUTSTANDING service! Thanks to her recognizing that my doctor’s office had not sent in an order for the correct test, I was able to get the right one sent over and had the test that revealed critical imaging information that would not have been caught otherwise! Kylie at the front office was also super helpful and helped me sort out administrative mistakes that were made in my account. Please recognize great professionals like Jennifer and Kylie who go out of their way to do their job right and make a life-or-death difference in their patients’ lives!Odil T. Payton
