20 Best Radiology Programs In San Francisco, CA (2022 Updated)

I am a student of the Bay Area Medical Academy and am happy to recommend the academy to all who intend to take their careers a step further. I joined this Academy in the Phlebotomy program and am very satisfied with the education and training that I have recieved from the academy. I owe my knowledge and skill about phlebotomy to this academy. Today I am on my way to accomplishing the milestones that lay before me but am confident that very soon not only will I be able to get a job in the medical field but will also be able to make a small difference to the lives of many people who suffer from various illnesses. Phlebotomy is an important and much needed skill and I'm happy and grateful to have acquired it from Bay Area Medical Academy. I saw a few one star reviews and decided to update my review. I wonder why are there some unhappy students. I only have good things to report. My instructor Ms. B did a good job of teaching us. The labs here are amazing!!! They never run out of supplies! From day one, the process was outlined really well. Karina at externship is simply amazing!!! A thorough professional. She's very quick to respond to requests and queries and takes into consideration your needs. Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I feel sorry for the students who haven't had a fab experience but realize, it's an academy and externship is doing all they can to place as may of us as they can at locations of our choice. It's not an easy task by any standard!! Follow their process to the 'T' and it's a very smooth sail. Also look deep within you…. were you on your A game? Did you miss a step in the process? Lastly, do realize that this school is relatively affordable as compared to the others out there and that's kudos to the board at BAMA who've kept this into consideration while designing a program. Overall, I am super satisfied and will come to BAMA over and over again for adding on new skills! No two ways on that one. Thank you BAMA for taking such good care of me and the other students. Eternally gateful. For the skeptics out there, I am in no way benefited from this review. I believe in giving credit where it's due.Rajat Sethi

My experience with (bay area academy) I used lower case letters for the name of the school because I feel I had no help with employment, also when jobs were posted they said if you're interested feel free to send resumes to the school and they will assist students because they are affiliated with the companies. That never happened.The resume specialist did incomplete resumes for me more than once. I finished my program EKG Technician 2017 I am still not working. I went in again October 2018 to be assisted with resume still incomplete. I was prepared for a job fair in which bay area academy was to help me prepare for, again I was told I would be called to be assisted with the pre- employment They never got back to me until after it was over. Lots of students was unsuccessful in jobs. It helps to have your own resources and connections. If you have a great resume specialist in mind that could help to.Chauncey Boutte

I got lucky with having a great teacher! The training was very thorough, and the externship was very helpful. My only complaint is that BAMA GRAVELY MISLEAD me to believe that this process was short. The wait time for an externship is incredibly long, even if you can do a 2+ week one. And the state takes weeks to process your license once you are done with your paperwork. All in all, it took me about a year to get my license; and I had the luxury of doing the 3 week externship with a shortISH wait time.Melissa Fiato

This December, it will be two years since I ended up at UCSF PARNASSUS after waking at 3am feeling like I was dying, vomiting copious amounts of blood. The team of doctors who had my case were amazing! They didn’t think I’d make it the first two days. I didn’t want to live. I kept trying to write, “lLet me die!@ but was so weak they couldn’t even read my writing. I tried so hard to write but couldn’t get my hands to do what my brain was saying and I was intubated. I spent two months there before I was transferred to a transitional care facility. I cried when I left. I’d made friends with the nurses and didn’t want to leave them. My feet and lower calves were so swollen, I couldn’t stand, let alone walk. I am still in the nursing home and still can’t stand or walk but, that’s a whole different story! Today, I am like a new person. I want to live! I want to get out of this wheelchair and I desperately want to get back with my sweet Siamese, the love of my life. I have worked so hard and each day I’m closer to leaving. I’ve lost so much weight, I’m so much stronger and started PT again last week. The food at UCSF is varied and you have a menu to choose from! I can’t say enough wonderful things about UCSF. They are well run, organized, and compassionate. Their health care workers are astounding! I wish I could thank each and everyone of them in person!Nancy Holohan

Great for medical care, and you'll need it. Because their billing system is unable to get things straight. This means you'll get massive bills that should have gone to your insurance company. Of course, UCSF billing won't have taken the time to actually talk to your insurance company to understand what was filed incorrectly — they'll just bill you directly. Next you'll spend hours on the phone having stressful discussions about why you're getting a massive bill and why they haven't had an actual human conversation with your insurance company to sort out the error — even after you've talked to your insurance company and then also to UCSF to indicate the billing was done incorrectly. Will they ever talk? Who knows! Then UCSF says they'll call your insurance company, but they won't. They also won't call you back when they say they will. It's a fun surprise and you'll enjoy the theme park like excitement, except this is life and death of your finances. All this will lead to higher blood pressure, so you'll need more medical care, which is also great for UCSF — it's a good thing you've found a fantastic hospital. The cycle repeats indefinitely and will spiral out of control until you die. Their problematic billing issues have happened to us multiple times, and it's sure to happen to you, too. Good luck, have fun, and die early!David Diez

I truly hope this review reaches the correct person/people. Currently, if a patient at UCSF passes away, their MyChart account is instantly rendered inaccessible. A patient’s MyChart account holds almost if not all of a patient’s medical history/information and is extremely useful for patients and relatives of patients. For example, if a parent’s child passes away, the parent no longer has access to their child’s MyChart account whatsoever. This puts even more strain on the parent/family member to get information they want and or need from the MyChart account. I understand that this is most likely due to HIPPA laws/legal reasons, but I feel that parents and family members would somewhat appreciate being able to access their loved one’s account for at least one month prior to it becoming inaccessible especially if the parent/relative has established proxy access to the account. This would give the parent/relative enough time to gather the information they need from the account before it is closed. Again, i hope this will reach the right person so that maybe some kind of arrangement could be made to change this. Thank you.anonymous person

This school only cares about the money you pay them. I remember the director contacting me so many times in a week to pay my past due. I was still waiting for my VA benefits to kick in. Then I was told if I don’t pay by this date, I will be removed from the program. So I applied for a loan to pay off my past due. After that I was never harassed again. I expected a lot from this school. From great didactic instructors to clinical instructors. But that did not happened. I only had one good didactic instructor. My clinical instructor was lazy and always complaining. The leadership did not care about you. Just their well being as a school. Your grades don’t matter. Also they did not care if you are a military veteran. There were times that I had to clock in using my phone which is not allowed, but my clinical instructor was always late so I couldn’t clock in using a computer. I was removed from the MRI program because I was DISHONEST. Instead of helping you to improve, they just remove you from the program because they got what they needed from you. MONEY! No kind of remediation whatsoever. Just after your MONEY. You’re better off with Unitek where they care about their students emotionally, spiritually, and personally. Being a nurse is way better than being an MRI tech.👎Ervan Valdez

I applied to the Gurnick Academy ultrasound technology program ( San Mateo campus ), At first I was getting constant email reminders to complete documents before the deadline date . After I completed everything I had an panel interview set up , the interview went well overall but I was asked a certain question that I didn’t completely understand and when I hesitated ( and felt nervous ) the interviewer rudely responded with frustration at my delayed response . At the end of the interview they informed me that I would receive a response within 3 weeks. Within a few days I received an email demanding that I complete a financial aid form within that day “ just in case” I get into the program even though I hadn’t received an acceptance letter. Well.. 3 weeks passed and I sent a follow up email kindly thanking everyone that attended the interview for there time and consideration . I didn’t get a single reply back from that email , a month after the interview day they emailed me informing that I didn’t get in and should try applying next year . The negative reviews I read after the fact are correct , it seemed like they were only after money .Amani Abdaw

I have had the pleasure of working with Gurnick and their students for over 4 years and can say it has been a wonderful experience. The MRI students sent to my facility for clinical training are professional, hard-working and team players. All my Technologists are Gurnick grads! A big thank you to Elena Danilova for building such a great relationship with me and my facility.Kimberly MacDonald

When I arrived @ Simon Med in Daly City for my bone scan, my experience was very positive. However, the experience leading up to that was less so. There were multiple calls with some confusion as to where the test was going to be done. I was given two different sites in San Francisco on the same day and then that appointment was cancelled (due to lack of a tech @ either site). Even after I received the Daly City appointment, I received messages saying that I needed to re-schedule. When I called back, I was unable to get through to talk to anyone. I, therefore, decided to just go ahead and show up hoping that I would be seen. Fortunately, my appointment was intact and everything went smoothly from that point on. I hope this criticism will be constructive. As I said, my experience from the time I arrived, was totally positive. The receptionist @ the front desk (I believe her name was Leticia) and the tech, Paula were both great and everything was done in a timely manner and went smoothly. Thank you!Susab Blaschak

My experience with SimonMed was pleasant. The front office/reception staff were very helpful. Because of my mobility issue, she walked with me to a seat and then provided me with an admissions and payment responsibility form without having to wait long in line. I was then call in to have 6-8 different X-rays from ankle and leg on rt. foot to both knees on left. Again standing on one foot or putting wait on one foot was very tiring. The technician saw I was having a program and provided what was necessary. We finished in no time thanks to helping patients out in little ways. Thank you front office/reception and X-ray technician staff.Nancy Thomas

Appointment was rescheduled to another day due to staffing problem and then on my 2nd appointment they fell very behind so I had to either come back a couple of hours later or the next day. I came back a couple hours later. Once my appointment finally happened things went smoothly. One big plus was the young gentleman at the front desk was extremely empathetic and provided excellent customer service. It was especially impressive given all the chaos and changes that he had to manage with the customers. I bumped up my rating due to him 😃Lily Quisol

I graduated at Vasco Career College as a Medical Assistant 2021 and i would like to say that im so honored to have been apart of this college. They have the best knowledge of the programs to their best of abilities. The teachers and program director are super helpful they so motivating and inspiring to help you to reach your goals and always working with you. I’m so happy to be a certified MA from VCC which currently has given me a job at an amazing clinic and with all the skills and knowledge I have been taught from this college I’m now able to move forward and have an awesome experience in everything in the health care setting. I highly recommend you to do the same and trust you to will have no regrets. I have learnt so much and they have really inspired me towards my achievements and never gave up on me. Thank you Vasco Career College for all that you do you guys are the best.Bianca Samone

Vasco Career College was a great experience! It was an honor to be a student of Mrs. Dru. Not only is she the director of Vasco Career College college, but also the instructor and taught for pharmacy technician class! I’ve had my fair share of struggle in her class but Mrs. Dru was very helpful and motivating. She helped me throughout the whole process from start to finish and made sure I did everything right, from passing the class, to externship, and to applying for the board of pharmacy. I learned a lot within the time frame for the class. I totally recommend this place if you are looking to get in to the pharmacy field. Mrs. Dru also offers other classes that I’m sure are great and well worth it! Thank you to Vasco Career College for helping and guiding me to where I am in my career now. Thank Mrs. Dru! – PPamela Hollon

I completed a pharmacy technician program at Vasco Career College in November 2017. I have tried to study on my own for quite some time. In the end there still were some areas I struggled with. After completion of this program, I can tell that my knowledge improved dramatically. Ms. Drusella is a very competent instructor who is very knowledgeable and is able to present material to her students in a way that is easy to understand. She takes her time to explain everything and ensures that her students are not left with any unanswered questions. I am very glad I took this course here since now I feel confident and prepared for my PTCB examination and my future career. It's well worth the money and time I invested. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone.Viktoriia Bernier

HEADS UP, Did your "great doctor" send you here? Why? Radnet wants reviews so here it goes: This place is filthy. The furniture is torn, peeling and sporadic with not enough space for patients. The people are fine but not enough to change my mind. There are two changing rooms see pics, several non-working lockers for all patients to share. I did not see one person cleaning the hour I was there. I was handed two robes, told I only needed one (sure if I don't mind my but hanging out) and no socks. The floors are filthy and they do not offer socks, so everyone is walking barefoot on these floors. I asked for a metal-free mask for my MRI, and they said OK, the first time, I asked again and I was told "you won't need it". I walked barefoot to the x-ray room after my MRI and asked for a lead shield that was nearby and was told "you don't need it, we are only doing your hips and knees". The people and techs were fine, but I will not go there ever again. I wanted to go straight home and take a shower, and did. I pay the same price whether I go here or Marin health, see last picture, so it can't be only money.Karen McMullen

Getting the imaging done was perfectly fine. The people at the office were polite and efficient. My reduced review is due to not being able to access my images. I was given an access code and instructions to follow using it on their website. I was told I would be available to access them the evening of when I got the images done. I have tried following said instructions several times and constantly get a timed out "site is unavailable" result when trying to access the images. It isn't a problem on my end, I have a gaming PC that is well connected to the Internet and the knowledge of how to work around poor links, etc. I have been waiting a year to find out what is going on with my body and still don't have any idea from the imaging which should have been easily available to me.Erin Hennigner

Highly recommend that one have an appointment for an x-ray. I left my doctor's office and went directly to RadNet as a walk-in for a simple x-ray of my foot. Everyone was supper nice and was told that it would be approximately 45 minutes wait. Ninety minutes later I approached the receptionist and inquired how much longer. He apologized and went to check with the technician pulling my paperwork from the bin as he departed. Upon his return he apologized again explaining that a scheduled appointment had taken longer than expected and that I would be next. After a few minutes I was finally taken back and given my x-ray. I checked my watch as I walked out the door noting that I had been 2 hours for an x-ray that only took 5 minutes.Michael Narkewicz

Every aspect of getting an MRI at SimonMed was seamless. I scheduled the appointment as soon as I leafy my Dr’s office. The intake person was personable and professional. She gave me several options to book. The team at the Post location in SF were also fantastic. I arrived early and they took me in early. The technician was very skilled and wanted to make sure I was comfortable in the machine. They gave me a copy of the scans with no questions. Great place to get an MRI.Glenn Stoller

Service was. excellent- front desk person was welcoming and my wait was about 12 minutes. The person taking my xrays came and pushed me n my wheeled chair to dressing room. After putting on gown- I was pushed to room for xrays – after several minutes – I was excorted back to lounge to exit after all xrays was taken. I appreciated the warm professional services and would encourage anyone that needs medical imaging to give Simon medical imaging a visit for excellent service.Nathaniel Holmes

UCSF was booked out a couple of weeks, but SimonMed got my son in on just a few days for a shoulder MRI. The front desk staff were efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly, and took the time to make sure that we had the right imaging modality booked. He was seen promptly, and clearly instructed by the technician. We were out of there with DVDs j in hand in less than 45 minutes, including 25 minutes in the actual machine. Highly recommended.Dave M

I had an unpleasant and rough experience with the CT scan tech (Greg, I believe) there. After he inserted the IV needle, he asked me to raise my arm. I did so carefully so as not to catch the IV drip hose on anything, and it was apparently too slow for him. He physically grabbed my arm and pulled it the rest of the way because apparently I wasn't moving quickly enough. He then pulled the IV drip hose tight, which started to pull off the edge of the tape holding the needle in place and put sideways pressure on the needle in my vein. I'm not a medical tech, but I've had IVs before and I've never seen someone be that rough in a non-emergency setting. At the end of the scan, I apparently wasn't sitting up quickly enough (I had taken beta-blockers as instructed to lower my heart rate for the procedure, so I was trying to be careful not to get too light-headed as I got off the table), and without asking he put his hand behind my shoulder (not in a forceful way, just in a rude way) to push me off the table. They were running a few minutes behind, so maybe he was in a rush, but that's no excuse, and it's not my problem as I arrived to the facility on time for my appointment.Matt Bell

Update — I called SimonMed again about six days ago and was told the manager of the SimonMed at the Embarcadero was going to call me (second time I was told this). She hasn't, nor have I received the copy of my MRI. Almost a month since my initial request for a copy. These people are awful. It's been three weeks since I requested a copy of my MRI, and they have yet to provide it to me. I was told a week ago that the manager from the Sacramento Street location was going to be calling me that day. Elizabeth Garcia, the manager of the San Francisco site was going to call me I was told. That was seven days ago, and she/he has yet to call me. Don't go here. They just take your money but then won't give you the information you paid for. Awful. I wish Google gave us an option to do zero stars, even negative stars.sun love

Staff: Kayla was very cute, nice and helpful. The MRI team was also super nice and very thoughtful in explaining things. 5/5 for the staff! Timing: My appointment was at 9AM, i arrived early at about 8:40. I sat in the waiting room until about 9:20 then I didn’t get out of there until probably 10:45. Procedure: I had an MRI with and without contrast of my abdomen. Equipment: The machine was a little small, but I’m 6’ 2” and have a chest measuring 50” which is why they get 4/5 stars.they said it was an older tighter machine and that they did have larger more modern machines in other locations.Jay Ding

As a practicing dentist, I am always striving to incorporate the latest technology to provide the best care for my patients. Reveal Diagnostics has helped my practice by offering 3D cone beam scans and radiologist reviews aiding in diagnoses. Their implant planning and guides have helped with my dental implant treatments. Their hands on virtual planning and simulation for implants take away the guess work on the day of surgery. The ease and simplification make surgeries so much easier. I would advise any of my colleagues to give them a try for all diagnostic and implant planning needs. They also have several locations throughout the Bay Area!John VanCamp

The staff was professional and friendly and I felt comfortable in their office as they were taking all necessary precautions against the spread of COVID-19. Also we were running 20 minutes late and they still were able to take care of us.Liseli Mulala

I was lied to by doctors there I was told by Dr. Hakimi "Even if I wanted to I cannot refer you dermatology cannot refer to infectous disease".That's a lie.And when a doctor Dr.Wei comes in and splits your hair apart looks says " I don't see anything" is she trying to insult my intellegence? What were dealing with is microscopic. I have lab findings of nematode in my gut and in my well water. Yet I was sent to a specialist whom did not even look at my labs. Went by my age and that I'm a female that that's when morgellons usually hits a person for some reason females at my age. Offers Risperdal or abilify without looking at my labs. I sent my case to a teaching hospital in Pakastani and they agree parasite. They deal with this stuff Dailey in other countries. My regular dermatologist whom refered me to ucsf is now trying to refer me to UC Davis infectous disease. It's sad because I had such high hopes for ucsf. My primary tried to get me to Stanford infectous disease but my insurance didn't cover it. I think morgellons is a serious disease. And if a person is going to be labeled with it than lab work should be done and lab work should be looked at. Not a dx by a person's sex and age. It's pt neglect and is the doctor working for a drug company or the pt? Apparently the drug company in this case. I am saddened deeply because I had high high hopes for ucsf.Sabrina Cesena

UCSF is absolutely amazing! From my very first stay here to my very last brain surgery. All the staff are wonderful and very caring for their patient's. Dr. Edward Chang and his entire team saved my life. On July 12 I had an Anterior temporal lobectomy on my right side. I am today 42 days seizure free!!! I may have epilepsy, but it doesn't have me. If you have epilepsy, don't give up! Get a second opinion. Be seen at UCSF. I am beyond thankful for my wonderful Neurosurgeon Dr. Edward Chang. He is not only brilliant, but very caring as well. Keep up the amazing work UCSF!Caroline Wolfe

pretty bad. I had testic issues and they basically said, you’re hurting, but we don’t know why… now you’re going to be discharged. Everything is still the same. I don’t go to the hospital often. Is this how it works?! If they don’t know they just pass you on????!!! At least radiologist was very friendly but they rushed to get me out. Maybe bc of military coverage. I’m still hurting (hard core) and have no idea why.Cam Kirsch

My Name is Ian Chisholm, DOB 7-14-53.On 4-5-21, I had A Procedure Done on My Liver. I am Humbled and Grateful with The Staff Care! Thank You All SO Much! Services Above and Beyond!

As part of preparation for a partial mastectomy, I had several procedures done by UCSF Imaging and Radiology. I cannot adequately praise the skill and compassion of this department in helping me at a very difficult time. One person in particular, Julia Lee, was especially helpful. She was with me every step of the way, explained what was happening clearly, and kept me focused. I greatly appreciate their knowledge and caring.Karen Wong

I was really excited to attend but overall it wasn’t much different than community college at least for Gen ed. my excitement peaked week 4 and by week 11 of the semester I realized what was ahead of me and how the school is kind of a crazy mess. Having ethnic studies tie their bodies to the Muni tracks and an on campus anti abortion protest with bloody pictures was definitely a bit much And not made better by the pleasant Marchant booths the fallowing week. My department I’ve heard is basically a mess though unfortunately. My CC was state if the art and this place has some buildings that are authentically 1950’s and untouched it’s kind of scary so I try not to think about earthquakes given that Fine Arts, the library and Humanities are probably the safest buildings on campus. It feels impossible and hopeless here because almost nobody lives near campus and everyone commutes so it always feels dead. This factor makes it very hard to feel/get connected on campus to any degree and make friends. Don’t get fooled by impacted programs it doesn’t exactly mean they are “good” it just means the school is cheap and hasn’t built new buildings like it probably should have(Cinema, science and kin departments that’s you!). Go here if they have a good program for your major that’s what’s important, not location, student life etc.Alex Merenkov

I knew people who loved it at SFSU and knew people who hated it here. Personally, I had a great experience at SF State. Obviously a negative experience was having to go online due to covid in my third year but I was still able to have a good experience here overall for undergrad. I wouldn't trade my time and memories here for anything and I'm thankful for all the opportunities SF State was able to offer me and the friends I made along the way. College is what you make of it and I had a really good time here. Class of 2022Zachary Lacanlale

I just attended Class of 2022 commencement. I was extremely disappointed. This is the first graduation I’ve ever been to that never called out student names. The commencement speaker sounded like a political campaign. I’m sorry but the families and friends that came to watch our loved one graduate, want them to be celebrated even for a quick few seconds and not sit through speech after speech from strangers.Cerita Gaddi

This review is from the perspective of a new student trying to take a single summer online class. I registered for the class in late spring, but it didn't even show up in Canvas (their online learning platform) until the summer session actually started. The instructor hadn't "published" the class, meaning I couldn't attend. I contacted him (Higginbotham is his name), on the day the class started, and he told me that the class didn't actually start until two days later. He assured me that the materials would be available and the class would be up and running by then. Two days later the class is still not listed as published, and the school's help desk can't help me either. The help desk diverts me to someone in India — are you freakin' kidding me? You aren't Amazon, why can't I speak to someone at the college? I consider myself a pretty tech savvy person, but I can't figure out how to attend my class at this school.Patrick Lindsay

CCSF is a great place to start a career or to get back to finish an education. They offer many opportunities and financial support to all students regardless of race or status. They have many programs that will help students to transfer to four year institutions or specialize in a certain career. The academic counselors are great people who really care and go the extra mile to help students to succeed on their careers. Many professors are great people and they make sure that their students are understanding the concepts. If their students are struggling on the class they are willing to help them out. It is a shame that CCSF does not get the credit it deserves.Rodrigo Cruz

Went to the bookstore to pickup items purchased online. Tip: the pickup window is outside of the bookstore to the left, and NOT inside the bookstore. I had an issue with my digital pickup, where Cengage Access code wasn't working, so I informed the representative, and he is supposed to get back to me via phone. There isn't any parking in front of the bookstore, because it's reserved for staff. Be prepared to park across the street, and walk a couple of minutes.Leonard Suguitan (Len)

AMAZING experience at this Dental University ! I had received dental services for the span of a year and a half and I cannot say enough great things about my experience. The student / dentist I was referred to was a natural. He did numerous feelings as well as gave me so much information on dental care and hygiene that I never knew before and was so professional and respectful and kind and just simply put, helpful! The building is amazing as I probably will never see another dentist office like it. It's very easy to get to through Bart or Muni. Surprisingly they even had great service by phone. I had moved across the country and was sad that I wouldn't be able to have my dental services through the university anymore. I had Medi-Cal when I was seen at the University and they didn't treat me any different had I had high-end private insurance which was also very impressive. There is senior staff dentist/teachers that are on the floor and can assist at a snap of a finger and they were amazing as well. You can really tell the teachers want their students to succeed in the students that are there are serious and want to learn and succeed as well. Andre was the name of the student I have and I will never forget him he made a very positive lasting impression as a dentist. He was in his last year at the University and said that his mother and father practiced dentistry in Sacramento and that he was going to follow the same route. I'm sure he's doing amazing and I wish nothing but the best for him in his dental career. There is so much more I could say in a positive note about this University and in all honesty this is probably one of the only reviews that I can't find something negative to say, though I was a little saddened that I had to be rescheduled for a teeth whitening session as I was traveling in guest spotting for my career in different states and only had a week back in San Francisco at the time to be able to do the teeth whitening appointment so I was never able to get the whitening session done at the University but it was understandable as he said he had finals amongst other things. So in short, if you're on defense if you should go to the university for your dental services because of whatever reason just pull the trigger and do it. I had received better dental services through this University then I ever did in any professional dental office and it's a shame that I have to settle for basic dental offices as I do now. This University should be a model of how professional outstanding dental offices should be throughout the states. Thank you University of the Pacific Dentistry for the outstanding excellent dental care I received throughout my year and a half of visits. And I want to give one more shout out to Andre, your an amazing dentist and I hope success follows you throughout your professional career as it did at the University, you deserve it bro!Tom Jines

I don't recommend this place. The facilities are nice and my student hygienist was very sweet, but they wanted me to come back 10 times just to get my teeth cleaned. (Not exaggerating. Expensive to keep driving downtown and paying for parking, plus taking time off work.) They don't tell you this on the phone. They say there's one initial consultation before the actual appointment. Noooo. There's the consultation, x-ray appointment, and however many appointments it takes the student to get the job done. "We're gonna need you to come back another time… again. :)" I eventually told them no and the professor in charge acted annoyed. They also asked the same questions and had me fill out the same forms over and over. Some of it was unnecessarily invasive. ("Are you on birth control? What kind?" Absolutely none of your business, y'all. I'm just here to get my teeth cleaned.) Who has time for all this? I'm guessing you, like me, do not.Peggy Holsclaw

Mixed feelings. The student who helped me and my family is very nice. However, wait time at the clinic and making appointments are giving me headaches – they only do phone appointments, which my call is never being picked up. When they call back and I miss that call, I have to call again and leave voicemail and wait again. I have been on this phone game for almost a week, and still not able to talk to someone. I guess the best thing about this place is their emergency service but not for regular non emergency appointment.Sally Chan

When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light It was cold, I lost my hold To the shadows of the night No sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark A rainbow in the dark Do your demons, do they ever let you go? When you've tried, do they hide, deep inside Is it someone that you know You're just a picture, you're an image caught in time We're a lie, you and I We're words without a rhyme There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found Feel the magic, I feel it floating in the air But it's fear, and you'll hear It calling you beware Look out There's no sight of the morning coming There's no sight of the day You've been left on your own Like a rainbow Like a rainbow in the dark, yeah You're a rainbow in the dark Just a rainbow in the dark No sign of the morning You're a rainbow in the dark SourcKel Moy

pretty bad. I had testic issues and they basically said, you’re hurting, but we don’t know why… now you’re going to be discharged. Everything is still the same. I don’t go to the hospital often. Is this how it works?! If they don’t know they just pass you on????!!! At least radiologist was very friendly but they rushed to get me out. Maybe bc of military coverage. I’m still hurting (hard core) and have no idea why.Cam Kirsch

I have called 6 ..SIX .. phone number trying to locate Dr. Andrew Spriger to no avail. Only one number allowed me to speak w a human who gave to staffing and credentialing where there is no answer. So sad Institutions of higher learning have sank so low as to making calls to Walmart look efficient. So very sad. Very DISAPPOINTED FNP B-C health care professional.CHP CHP

I disagree with the negative comments about the parking. First, you need to know the entrance is on Third Street. The clearance is 6'10" and our large Ram has a scant 2" to spare, but we've never hit anything. Each time a garage attendant has been available to guide us to a suitable spot for our oversize vehicle. The garage is well-lit and open early-we arrived at 6:15 AM once. By contrast, the UCSF garage on Sutter St doesn't open until 7 AM. Last but not least, the parking is free with validation. Free parking in SF-who doesn't love that?!Eda Catherine Ebe

Great technicians and healthcare workers. Horrible clerical and administrative staff. Your paperwork will not be filed on time for your appointment, and they’ll have you reach your bare hand into a box of “hospital safe” masks – the same box every other patient has stuck their hand into that day. Worse, complaints filed through UCSF’s system are “forwarded” and never responded to. Pick a different clinic or bring your lawyer.P C

Great staff, nice facility, I felt like I was very well taken care of. A bit of warning to those going there for the first time. The actual facility on the outside is not well marked and it is a bit confusing to find your way in accordingly., So give yourself extra time for your first visit. in case you have to stumble around trying to get in. As stated above, the parking garage is pretty awful.Greg Dunnicliff

My daughter went through the nursing program and graduated in 2017 with honors! It’s a very tough intense program but well worth it!! The professors are awesome! They really prepare you and most graduates will be be able to land a great job in the Bay Area! When potential employers see where you graduated from it is a big advantage!! There are several friends of my daughter who graduated from various 4 year schools and had to move out of the area or state. Being a USF graduate is something to be proud of for the rest of your life!! Sue Psue panelli
