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

I've been attending FCC since summer of 2016 and will graduate, god willing, this spring 2019. Full time, year round, no breaks. Although parking requires at least an hour grace period, I believe the over all experience is what you make it. I've come across rude people maybe having a bad day and I've had instructors I could not relate to. Its all very frustrating. Its sad to say the success rate at this college is 17%. But, then again this is an adult school. Nobodies going to call your house when your absent or hold a parent-teacher conference when your not doing your work. I am working on a Human Service degree and have enjoyed the ups and downs of my classes. The load was a little heavier in a few and I had to buckle down and utilize the tutorial, ETC, PASS, Computer lab and all other resources available. In all the those places I found the staff and student help extremely eager to be of service. The assistance was much appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could of got through math without it!Philip Tristan

I am not speaking for this business itself, merely the college district's education quality. I have taken classes at Fresno, Clovis, and Reedley Community College, and I have had an absolutely deplorable time. I don't feel like I'm getting anything from the classes; I don't feel the staff is prepared to teach online, if at all. If you are going to teach college-level English, you should not make punctuation and grammatical errors consistently. If you are teaching a law class, you should not do it from inherent bias and perspective. If you are conducting an online course, you should not have to hold up a piece of paper because you don't know how to make a slide. An absolute and utter waste of my time and money, I am so glad I got the nerve to go back to school; now I will find somewhere to teach me, educate me, and get me further in life.Mercedes Scott

Good college for students to get their AA degrees and this college has cheap tuition. Professors and management are also good and you can also transfer to a university after 2 years. It is said that Fresno City College is the first Community College in California. Registration to classes is simple and online, and they offer all kind of classes. It is better if you choose Nursing as a career because it pays off well. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

The classes offered here are great, however the financial aid office is really unorganized and gives you the run around. I have literary spent a whole semester running back and forth filling our paperwork and checking to see if they’ve received my financial aid application. It’s almost the end of the semester and they still tell me that they don’t have anything on file, after they’ve told me that they just received it three weeks ago.Luis Arroyo

I took several courses at Merritt, initially thinking it would be easy, just because it's a community college. I was VERY mistaken. The courses I took were rigorous and the instructors had high standards of expectation. The curriculum was no skate. My experience there was great and I would recommend this college to anyone. By the way, DePaul University in Chicago accepted my Merritt credits without blinking.Meb Bem

The website is so complicated and ambiguous it takes at good half hour to find what you need. When you finally get their the function usually doesn't work! The campus signs and layout are horrible. If you're going to Merritt for the first time, give yourself at least an extra hour to find your way around! For a higher institution of learning, someone needs to fix these issues…R Cole

The administration is not interested in offering equal access to education for parents who are looking to get one. The college is not interested in reestablishing the on-campus child care center. Also the administration knew the science building chemistry hoods were not functioning properly for years and never let students know. The professors are incredible but if you are a mother good luck because the college doesn't care that in order to access education, women with children (those who require an education for a chance to improve their children's future!) need some equitable student services. Don't take my word for it scroll through the reviews. Most reviewers are male even though majority of students who attend the college are women. Read into it what you will but the facts remain that the college has a child care center on campus but refuse to renovate it even though property taxpayers agreed to pay for it (measure g 2004).Melissa Martinez

The college incorrectly listed me as a non-California resident. When I attempted to fix this, I found that I could not get in touch with ANYONE from the business offices. Eventually, they started having a debt collector call me because I wanted to sort out the residency issue so that I would not be charged nearly $1000 for my classes. This has been going on for months now, I attempt to call their offices almost every week and no one answers me. I'm beginning to suspect that they are just trying to force me to pay the non-resident fee so that they can get some extra cash. All in all, I have had a horrible experience with the administrative services, and if I could get on the line with anyone, I would have been happy to have paid the appropriate tuition months ago.Laura Israel

Overall, the colleges is good. However, other colleges are doing much better. $ stars for the efforts in trying to become better. Recently they have started to work on the new Gymnasium building. Teachers and professors are good but they are very diverse. The teaching style of all the teachers differ and they might not be ok with everyone. So choose your class wisely. Overall the crowd is good but sometimes you might find some not so friendly people. I am not sure about the safety. However, most of the colleges in the bay area sucks with their security provisions.Ashutosh Dube

Graduated here in 2018. Yes the school is not perfect. but it is affordable and offers all sorts of academic programs for students & for those who are interested in learning a new skill. A few issues with the homeless people who easily make their way in the school's restroom and leave all their mess inside. A bit more security is also needed because of the area surrounding the school, but overall it's a good community college. Looking back now, I miss every moment I got to spend here. Class of 2018 !Ricardo Perez

Hello the college is full of students that live in the street and city is trying to make new parking structures but people can't afford rent payments. The next subject I want to talk about is the LA City Clerks office is hiring in November hopefully the election makes it better for independent voters to work more and help the community. Business administration can make changes in your life when you need accounting done but what about mechanical gang activities who will fight against immigration?Miguel Gutierrez

I graduated spring 2022 and is the best experience in my life. 2014 to 2016 the services are bad. When they build the student services building 2017 They are improving till now and a lot of students go there to enroll very good service now than before. I recommend to all students to take this college is a good.reel Woo

Extremely disorganized and do not care about you or your problem unless you virtue signal. They don’t even pay some of their employees who handle sensitive documents. School has only self interest; considering they have multiple offices not even located on campus (they’re embarrassed being there). They can’t keep a straight and secure staff, it’s really an embarrassment to the community. They even asked for more funding last election with 4 series of funding already. They’re in more debt than they can shake; thank God for the federal bail out money they took from the rest of America. This school is only interested in the little ones who cry Wolf instead of the integrity of America. Beware and avoid at all cost.Michael Madsen

Community college is something most people take for granted. As a Yuba College alumni, I received a high-quality education at a cheap price. What most people don’t know is that the units you take here can transfer to a 4-year university, which is extremely helpful since it’s expensive. Another aspect that makes Yuba College an excellent choice is the quality of education. In university, you are one of hundreds of students and here I got to interact with my professors, easily join clubs, and was part of programs that wanted to help students advance in their careers. Although I now attend university, it’s a place I am proud to come from and something I wish more people would consider. I highly recommend it!!!Jennifer Olivares

my two nieces have had nothing but issues. The staff does not follow thru. loses their paperwork all the time. The Professors do not make an effort to help the students. when the Dam was going to break and we were all evacuated. She had a final, but had no access to a computer and the professor refused to let her make it up and failed her. We went to the dean and no one would do anything about it. That was just wrong. Counselors set them up in all the wrong classes. Takes to long to get out of there.Mary Anderson

Let me start off by saying the nurses were great overall. However when it came time for my birth I had repeatedly asked for the option of different birthing positions other than on my back and the entire time I was there they assured me that I would be able to choose any position but once I was in the final stage of Labor they had me on my back with feet up for no other reason than saying that it's the "best" position. There was nothing particular about the baby's position or anything like that. Secondly, it is SO EXPENSIVE to give birth here! It's practically criminal. +$100,000 to give birth with an epidural?? Why?? The healthcare system is awful. And to top it off they will not stop calling you until you pay off the balance. It's the only place I've ever been to that does that and feels disrespectful especially if someone had a stillbirth or anything bad that had happened to their child and here you have the hospital calling you every other day about a bill. They only care about money and that's abundantly clear.Alex

We had two stays at icu due to infant child’s condition. The nurses were great as they were not only there to provide care but also became a support system during our stay there. The doctors and specialist were also great, felt they were really professional and loved how they came around as a team to discuss progress and plan. Dr. Martin helped with our childs surgery and Dr. Thakor helped with some other issue. Im so grateful for them. We had others too that gave us encouragement and support. All doctors and nurses were respectful toward our beliefs. The family center staff where they let you check out books use computer and provide coffee were really great, friendly and treated us with respect. They made us feel welcomed. The cafe staff with their smiles and service and interactions made us feel some normalcy during desperate times. I. wish I could say more to show this hospital how grateful I am. I have my child at home and healthier than before, and Im so grateful for their work.R Remo

Unfortunately my experience with Sandra at the register in the Cafeteria, was emotionally disturbing. Sandra displayed a lack of empathy for me and I expressed I was a parent of a patient and despite she continued to have an unprofessional demeanor. Please talk to Sandra and remind her, she works in an environment where employees should be sensitive to the population served. No family member, patient or staff should ever feel belittled the way Sandra made me feel that day. I would have given a 5 star review if it was not for my saddening experience with Sandra. Dr. Sidel and the entire team at G22 are always extremely helpful and professional. Our family has visited Lucille Packard 4 times and each time I feel comfortable and at peace with my family member’s procedures. Absolutely everyone from main entrance to the escort out were a great example of customer service! Thank you for taking such great care of my daughter.Julie Rocha

Pima Medical Institute in Chula Vista, CA has been a great educational experience for me. After completing their Vet Tech program, I feel confident in the skills I have learned & fully prepared to enter the animal medical field with a solid knowledge base. Everyone at the Chula Vista campus have been very helpful & supportive during the ~2 years of my educational path. Specifically, Diane O’Brien, RVT is a well informed instructor who combined professionalism & nerdy humor seamlessly, which made a fast-paced curriculum quite fun for me. I would highly recommend the Pima Medical Institute Vet Tech program to anyone seriously looking to become a Registered Veterinary Technician.Brittany Hughlett

I started school at Pima to do the VA course I give a huge shout out to Ms. Brooks she is amazing she is super knowledgeable and will teach you everything to prepare you for this career. I also give a shout out to Mr. Polanco he was amazing and such a good human being! I am currently in the Vet tech program and O’Brien has been great! She is a good instructor and also a genuine soul and always willing to help. Ms. Brewer has been my favorite she is the school director of the VT program and she is always helpful, respectful and professional. She is also the sweetest person.Vanessa Miranda

Love this school the teachers are amazing, specifically Ms J and Ms Perez in the dental assisting program they have been such a big help for me throughout my schooling here at Pima, they also helped me with my first dental assisting job and I was able to get paid during my extern thanks to them 🙂 I also would like to mention Mrs. Martha she was also very nice to me and helped me with my extern very professional as well. Overall Pima is a great school and if anyone would like to pursue a career in Dental Assisting I would definitely recommend coming here!!Karla San Martin

Good Samaritan hospital is the worst and has disgusting services to the patients. I never recommend to any patient to go in Good Samaritan Hospital. They have inexperience nurses. They don’t even know their basic jobs. I’ve been in the hospital for five nights. I did not eat food entire last two days. They even don’t give fruit to the patients. Their food service is so bad. When a patient makes an order for food, she/he receive the food after more than two hours and cold food. My room and bathroom never been cleaned. They never clean my body too. When I had a visitor, my visitor cleaned my room. Anyway, I never ever recommend any patients go to this hospital. To prove my word, I post some picture to see how my room is dirty. Four nurses tried to give me pain killer IV but they couldn’t do it and they left the IV materials on the window Instead of putting it in a safe area. The pictures were taken by my visitor. Then, she cleaned my room.Fataneh Shahami Gohar

Update Sep 30 2022: Still no signs on outside of parking structure to let you know where the testing site is located. Inside the parking structure, many signs to direct you to the 4th floor to make u-turn to get in line on the 3rd floor. Great service inside. Over 6 months ago: Went for a COVID test for an upcoming procedure. No signs anywhere to tell you were on the campus the site was. Employees tried to help but they did not know. Parked and walked all over until one person told me it maybe in that parking building. No signs anywhere, not inside or even on the 3rd floor where the testing was being done. A nice person said walk to the other end, it may be there and it was. Once arriving, no chairs were available until after they completed all the paperwork. They kept telling me signs were at the entrance but picture show no signs. Once near the site on the 3rd floor, you could see signs.Kelly Drake

We had a great experience in Labor and Delivery. I had two different nurses who were both fantastic. They always made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. We weren’t as impressed in the Mother and Baby unit. One of the nurses was very quick and abrupt and didn’t seem at all empathetic. Also I unfortunately had to have a catheter put in the morning after and the nurse who put it in was very aggressive and the pain was worse then my contractions the night before. My husband was very concerned how forceful she put it in. My husband also said every time he called down for food the people on the phone were rude to him. We both come from sales and so the non friendliness from this department really upset us. I did really enjoy the lactation consultation on duty, she was great. Overall I would give L&D 5 stars and Mother/Baby unit 3 stars and Food/Service 3 stars.Jacqueline Vasquez

I've been on the look for a new dentist and I believe Dr. Agrawal is the one! Not only is her office really close by, but I instantly felt a welcoming vibe with a welcome sign with my name on it; such a great personal touch. She made me feel comfortable through meaningful conversations and I also admired her transparency and knowledge when it comes to dental health. I can tell she really cares for her patients by educating them about preventative dental care and doesn't hesitate to take the initiative for urgent cases. Additionally, I love all the reminder notifications (SMS) because I feel in the past I would always forget when my next appointment would be. Overall, a fantastic experience and can't wait until my next visit.Ashley Kwan

Future Dental Care certainly is setting a new standard of what oral heal visits can look like. If I could give this practice a 10-star rating, I would. I have yet to encounter such a pleasant experience at the dentist. They are professional, impeccably friendly and respectful. They are very easy to get ahold of via phone and email. My mouth guard was created quickly and fits perfectly. The attention to detail for the guests' experience has been thought through. You will enter, visit and leave the premise relaxed, as if you just experienced a spa visit. Plus! The dentist is personable and has a sweet sense of humor.Cheyenne ShineOn

It was my first visit today and Dr. Agrawal was kind and personable. Her office is spacious, clean, and the receptionist, Laura, was very friendly. Dr. Agrawal made me feel very comfortable and identified an issue quickly and made a plan to attend to it. She showed me an estimate and explained the procedure. Booking a follow up was easy and convenient. I'm happy to have this dentist office in Marsh Manor.Eileen Laughlin

I arrived at 8:30 am and it felt like the receptionist was cold and wearing the veneer of a smile. This is the fourth location I've been to where I've already updated my address three times every visit. This receptionist needed my address for the fourth time… I have nerve damage in both my hands, fingers, and arms. It's excruciatingly painful to hold a pen and press down to write. When I asked the receptionist if there's any way I could update my address online where I don't have to use my hands she told me, "Don't worry I'm going to do it for you." But that's exactly what the last three locations have said… It's exhausting for someone like me who has an invisible disability. I feel it's rather cold and kurt that the receptionist couldn't listen to me like a fellow human being to take down my address and force me to write with my broken hands. Then she struggles to read my handwriting because I physically don't have the capacity to write with a pen and paper. Which is exactly what I had communicated in the beginning of our interaction… Once checked in luckily the wait was less than 5 minutes however the X-ray tech who took me back was a novice. She had missed position the X-ray so duplicate or even three images were taken redundantly exposing me to excessive radiation unnecessarily due to lack of experience. The management doesn't care about minimizing radiation exposure which is proven to cause cancer… Next, she asked me what happened to my ankle. I answered genuinely that I suffered medical neglect from my parents. She laughed at my pain and my unfortunate circumstance I didn't choose to be born into. I wish the x-ray technician didn't ask me anything at all. That would have been more kind than laughing at my pain. Don't expect compassion from this location. It's a capitalistic location and business and will operate in that manner.Kristy Lisa K.

I came in as a walk-in patient for X-rays. Apparently it was during one of their busiest hours of the day with all the waiting seats in the front room full. However, the seats were spaced out for social distancing and they offered a second sitting room further back in the office, so nobody was without a seat. The check in line was efficient. I had to sit in the waiting area for a bit. Once the technician took me back, he was able to complete the X-rays in a matter of a few minutes. From arrival to exiting the building, I spent no more than 45 minutes there. The employees spoke clearly and were professional throughout the visit. The x-ray tech was especially warm and friendly and I felt at ease throughout the process!Lydia Nderitu

I waited almost 2 hours to get an X-ray. The staff did not provide any insight on how long the wait was. The front staff is not efficient, they spent more time socializing amongst each other than doing their actual job. There was someone that came in after me that was a direct pay that somehow ended up getting taken care of before the others that we’re waiting for an x-ray. Though I appreciate staff being friendly I do not need to be referred to as honey, sweetheart, sweetie, etc. I have a name, if you can’t get access to it miss or ma’am is perfectly acceptable.Mona Patel

This review is namely for billing They will send you a bill several months after your procedure then send you to collections within a month of you "receiving" that bill (good luck if you're out of town/unable to collect mail whenever they decide to send the bill). I've occasionally had to work with insurance to fix an issue in the past with health related bills wherein I won't pay immediately for that reason – in those situations, I'll receive several bills in the mail for months before any threat of being sent to collections let alone actually being sent. This company will give you one bill, 30 days from the date listed on the bill, then automatically send you to a collections company with VERY poor better business bureau ratings. Of course that company will charge you more for interest, even if it's been one day since they've had your account. Absurd. I didn't even have a chance to look into why my insurance didn't cover it (you already pay a portion in advance of the procedure based on what insurance should cover). Use a different radiology company if you can. As for procedure, I was sent here given another location's equipment failed on the person right before me (was in medical gown and everything). After waiting at that location for my appointment, was sent to this location and waited almost 3 hours. Although I appreciate accommodating me, it would be nice to fit me in sooner given the amount of time I'd already waited at the other location and having to drive further etc given your sister location's technical issues. Why further punish someone.Heather H

Very rude front desk, no patience at all and not caring people’s feeling at all. We bring doctor’s order to them and they refused to take it, saying that communicating with doctor will take extra time??? Please pardon me, but I think we are the patient who don’t know the medical treatment details and just take doctor’s order to you, and it’s your job to figure out the details and get the X-ray done for patient. We don’t mind waiting, but really don’t like the rude attitude and loud voice. Not recommend this place at all. Edit: We originally went to Samaritan Imaging Center for this, and the front desk was very helpful there. She said waiting time is about 2 hours and suggested we could go to the above place where is less wait. And I specifically checked with her that since there is some info missing on the order, do we need to call doctor or bring it back to doctor, she said no, the staff in Imaging center will take care of it, that’s why we directly went to the above place. That being said, we really don’t think it justified the rude attitude, I believe everything could be communicated in a nice and friendly way. Edit: This X-ray is for our 4 years old daughter, so we are holding a sick kid and have run through multiple places before coming here, yet she still use this attitude, which is really not tolerable.Yun Zhang

All employees were very professional, courteous and helpful. Sherwin did my CT Scan. I affirmed him. Very professional, thoughtful, competent, helpful. He rates a 10. One policy I seriously question. A man came in and wanted to know if his doctor's order had arrived before he made an appointment, a very reasonable request. He was told to take his turn behind all the people waiting for procedures, about an hour. Very unreasonable policy. Rosemary EverettRosemary Everett

My wife delivered our first child at this facility and had interactions throughout her pregnancy with staff here. The labor and delivery ward was wonderful. Absolutely the best healthcare experience either of us has ever received. I wish the rest of this review was as positive. Every other facility/building at this campus that we used during her pregnancy was so far below the most basic standards of how health care staff should interact with their patients that I’m not sure how this place is allowed to operate. We had multiple OB’s that were insulting, degrading, and vague. We were always left confused and needing clarification from the doctors at other facilities to make up for the gap here at Kaiser off Cottle. The ER room experience we had for a middle of the night episode of extreme pain was horrendous. Leaving my wife alone inside for hours waiting for care while I sat in the parking garage. COVID measures aside, once she was admitted and I was allowed to visit, the staff in the ER were rude, abrupt, and completely unhelpful. Had it not been for the ER security guard, who heard the interactions, stepped in, and showed me where to go to get help from a different section of the hospital, I’d probably still be there waiting for help. Lastly, COVID is frustrating and we are all asked to jump through hoops here and there for everyone’s safety. That’s understandable and completely reasonable. What is not reasonable is a disregard for the rules of the health orders this facility claims to be following. While my wife was in active labor, contractions less than 90 seconds apart, I had to swap keys with a family member for vehicles. A quick run downstairs I thought, just the time to ride the elevator up and down, but not even close to what happened. Upon arrival at security, I was forced into a line of 20+ people awaiting COVID testing before I’d be allowed to go back upstairs and be with my wife as our son was being born. Now, I’m a fully vaccinated individual who has not received the booster. There is verbage in the health orders for emergent situations that allows for delaying the testing requirement until the emergency has passed. ( A testing requirement that is not necessary for fully vaccinated individuals, of which I am one, with my vaccination card in hand). That was overlooked, despite my numerous attempts to show, discuss, and describe that portion of the health order. Mine is probably a rare occurrence. Regardless, my opinion is completely ruined of this facility. While I ultimately didn’t miss the birth of my son, the fact that I was held at a security check point for over an hour (incorrectly I might add, if anyone in this dump would actually read the health order) by what could only be described as a “Karen” of a supervisor while my wife was in active labor will forever be the taste I have of this place. Just plain unacceptable and for me, unforgivable. Which is a real shame, because again, Labor and Delivery had some of the nicest and most caring health care providers I have ever seen. Just wonderful people. Everywhere else. Complete and utter waste of health care resources. Update: Despite the hospital responding to this review there was never a follow through from any hospital staff once I contacted them regarding their response here. Completely a token response on their part.Joseph Darpli

UPDATE: I checked the Kaiser Permanente Northern California visitor impatient policy and no where does it state that there is an age restriction, it does state that 2 VISITORS ARE ALOUD per patient visit. You either need to update your “policy” or teach your staff to follow protocol with respect. Not once was I told what the policy was until they decided it was necessary to suddenly follow it. First I’d like to start that I’ve been a Kaiser memeber since birth and so has my 10 year old sister. At the moment my mother has been in the has been in the hospital for 2 weeks. Me and my sister have both been fully vaccinated and compliant when it comes to taking a rapid test because my sister doesn’t have her booster. That being said we’ve been going EVERYDAY to visit my mom and EACH time we’ve been there it has been nothing but an inconvenience as the staff rudely tell us every time the my sister needs a rapid test, because she doesn’t have a booster. A day later I’m told we can just go up. A day later we’re told again my sister needs a rapid test, everyday is different and NO ONE follows or tells me what the policy is. The same staff checks me in everyday and still ask eachother everyday if we’re both aloud to go up. Suddenly today they decided they didn’t want to let me up with my sister because they’re following a policy that seems to change by the second. I understand Covid measures but this was extremely inconvenient as I’ve been going up there everyday and suddenly you have a rule change. I was told multiple time the manager would come down and tak to me, he never did, finally I was told I would be given a number, that also never happened. My mom called from her hospital bed to see what help she could be and during the 3 way call the nurse had such a rude tone I almost wanted to say something since my patience was already runnning thin. It’s freezing outside, You don’t have a waiting room, there’s no rules or guidelines to follow inside the visitation area or online, and I can’t leave a 10 year old by her self outside or at home. And I’m not even from San Jose. I asked multiple times for the managers phone number and was repeatedly told no. The security lady had the nastiest attitude with me today even though she’s been giving us badges for the 2 weeks that we’ve been going, she yelled at my sister when she was headed to the cafeteria and continued to give me ugly looks as I waited for the badge. I waited outside for an hour to be told that the manager said no minor aloud at all, when just a few days ago the staff cleared the visitation through the same “manager”. Your visitation needs to be trained more because they aren’t helpful they are rude and don’t know what they’re doing. With my 2 weeks of visiting my mother the most stressful part has been getting past visitation. The nurses do not aid to mom at all unless someone is with her. Her food is always 2 hours late, she’s in constant pain because no one checks on her, she can move her limbs to help herself out and she doesn’t get checked frequently unless we call the nurse station, and fun fact THATS WHAT SHES PAYING THEM FOR! She’s paying them to help her yet she’s been ignored for hours. She has to constantly beg for ice, lotion, and other simple needs because they WONT do it.magic giraffes

This has been the worst experience ever. I had multiple strokes and they didn't take it as an emergency they eventually put me into a CT scan and they put the dye in the arteries and not the vein. They're practicing on their patients and doing malpractice. My wife just had a foot surgery and the doctor was supposed to call her the next day to check on her and nobody called. The morphine they stuck in her leg was leaking when we got home..we spoke to the doctor and they said come to the ER and they ignored her until my friend spoke up and they said there's other patients and that she needs to wait. Even though the medication wasn't going to her so she was feeling the pain from multiple foot operations. Then one of the nurses said it's not a big deal she had surgery on her foot. They were very rude in the hospital and yelling at me and my family. They don't care about the people in the hospital they're just there for work and not to help people since they treat everyone like they're worthless. They tried to blame their stress on someone taking their life away and said that was the reason they were frustrated. Which still does not make it right for us to be treated that away.Mike Y

Service is good, wait is too long. I was there yesterday. My doctor told me you can take patient up to 4:30. I was there 4:17. Wait for 10 min. Was told X-ray is closed. I came back the next day. Arrive at 11:00, wait for 45min. I asked if possible to be done by 12:40, in order for me to go for my other appointment. Was told not possible. I was told to come back, as long as I get there before 4:00, they will take me. After my appointment, I arrived at NorCal at 3:41. Was told the technician has emergency, had to leave early. But out of the blue another staff said they could take me. I was happy. But this need to be improved. May be start taking appointmentPazar Bites

Got a voice mail telling me to arrive 30 minutes early but I ended up waiting for 45 minutes! Way longer than my scheduled appointment. So, I suggest asking your patients to come in 30 minutes early ONLY if you can keep on time for the scheduled appointment. Also, no one updated me as I sat there waiting. It would be nice if someone update the patients if you are behind schedule. I was feeling like I was being forgotten while the other patients were being seen before me even though they came after me. No one said anything until I asked. Hopefully, I am not being too critical here. Other than that, the staff and technician are really nice.Kim Tran

Check in time took too long, it was like 15min for each person. It’s 2022 but they still manually type in all the information and use hard copy paper to handle the process. Please update your system so that we can use our mobile phone to input all the information that’s needed ahead of time, and to book appointment. Let the system verify the information and insurance and things like that prior the visit. PLEASE, be a bit sympathy to the people that need a check up in your lap. They are the people mostly in pain, every minute that you save for them means less pain to them.Jinkang Cen

I have never really enjoyed going to get any kind of work done on my teeth, even just a cleaning. Dr. Fathi changed the whole experience for me. Not only does she have an amazingly pleasant personality but she confidently explains everything to you. During my root canal she was constantly checking in with me to make sure I was doing okay since she knew I don't do well with procedures. I barley even felt the numbing shot! That was a first for me. Her and her assistant, Gregory held an entertaining conversation the whole time which was just what I needed to stay distracted. My overall experience at this office and with the doctor was the best I could've ever imagined. If I ever need anymore work done, I will happily come to Dr. Fathi again. I will also refer everyone I know.Danica Hunt

The best root canal I ever had was with Dr Fathi. The first time I went to see her was a few years ago when she worked on one of my molars. I didn’t have any pain during or after the procedure. Recently she had to redo a root canal for me, which was originally done by another endodontist 15 years ago. It was a difficult case, but she was able to save my tooth! It is now completely healed. Dr Fathi gave a detailed explanation of the procedure before we started and kept me updated as things progressed. She is VERY kind and made sure I was okay throughout the process. Dr Fathi and her staff not only made the entire experience as comfortable as possible, but fun as well! I highly recommend Dr Fathi to anyone who needs an endodontist.Tanya Ireland

Wow!!! What a great experience for having a root canal.I came in for my first ever root canal. From the front desk to Dr Fathi, everyone was wonderful. The procedure itself was painless and speedy, from walking in the door to exiting was less than 1.5 hours. I will also mention the office itself was like walking into a first class establishment. Although I hope to never have to see you again. But if ever needed I would 100% use you for my root canal needs. Thank for your help MarkMark Nelson

My family cannot recommend Dr. Lau enough. During an emergency room and hospital stay, my mother was seen by Dr. Lau for a vascular issue. He was very knowledgeable about my mother’s specific ailment. Not only did he show true commitment to solving my mother’s health problems, but he also was lovely to speak with during every visit. Dr. Lau took the time to thoroughly explain every decision he and the rest of my mother’s health care team were making; he even went as far as to call us after regular working hours to answer our questions. It is very rare to find a doctor that can so easily combine their interpersonal skills with their exceptional medical prowess; however, Dr. Lau is certainly one of the exceptions. I would highly recommend Dr. Lau to anyone!Belle Strawn

Dr. Lau is amazing. He recently treated my aunt at Good Sam. During our first meeting he explained her medical situation clearly and set up a family group text. Since her discharge, Dr. Lau has been available and super responsive by text and he has made several phone calls to discuss her care. At this point my aunts main health concern is outside Dr. Lau’s area of expertise, but he has still been following her care. At 9 am on a Saturday Dr. Lau just sent a text to our family checking on my aunt, and asking how her appointment with her regular GP went. If you are looking for a smart, thorough, caring and communicative doctor, look no further.Samantha Korsunsky

The South Bay Vascular Center & Vein Institute (a long name, but I’m not sure how the Google reviews show things). However, the technician, to the doctors, were VERY thorough, and were able to diagnose my problem, and then set me up with one of THEIR doctors (for an out-patient procedure). The main point is that they concentrate on this one area (vascular) and are able to diagnose, and if necessary (or possible) do a procedure to fix it. Their expertise in this area is EXCELLENT, and they give that feeling from the moment you walk in! This was my first time there, and EVERYTHING went very smoothly! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Bryan

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

I've been here several times now for different personal reasons or another. Each time is just as professional as the the last they have a great system and work to as a team to get each person served and completed as fast as possible. They have a nice environment that's clean and sterile and got the latest technology with techniques to help everyone to their needs. Great staff and highly recommend this facility to anyoneDomingo Martinez

Went in for mammogram and ultrasound. I have anxiety and they were understanding and paitent. The mammogram tech was gentle (I guess as gentle as she could be, considering….). I would recommend them over other Scan/Imaging Centers because I felt they cared about making me comfortable, and answered my question, in addition to their patience and understanding.Secret Private

Wonderful experience every time, the staff are very polite, and the Technicians are always delightful through the processes. It's important to have a group like this, it can be scary for some people. But the staff is the determining factor always. In this case the best ! Thank you for all of your help, and positive vibes 😇Brooke Schrum

My LOVE for the ultrasound program at Gurnick is way beyond. – from the teachers to the challenging curriculum. All the faculty members of sonography program integrates with compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Sonography program is not an easy program. You have to be passionate about working in this field with patient care and being proactive. It’s takes a lot of hard work and dedication and determination. The director and the professor’s made sure that each of us are successful in this program. Though it is a private school, I had to work hard for this program and be successful And every member from financial aid to coordinators to front desk made sure that we all are given help and guidance when we need it. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within us. I love my ultrasound program at Gurnick. Let’s keep on scanning with love.Rehnaz Bi

Definitely would recommend this school. I am a current student in the ultrasound program and I have gained so much knowledge for the time I have been there thus far. Instructors go above and beyond to make sure the material is taught well and share new skills to make sure we are the best at our jobs, for ourselves and our patients. Jorge, the program director is always finding diverse techniques to make learning a fun experience. The curriculum is awesome as well as the environment. I went in not knowing what I looking at on a “black and white screen” and now I can point out all of the anatomy as well as complete diagnostic exams. If you’re interested, I definitely recommend speaking to Jorge, he always puts the student’s best interests first!Jassamyn Shergill

I am a current Ultrasound student at Gurnick Academy and I am pleased with my decision to apply to this program. This is NOT an easy program, it will challenge you in many ways. However, you are given plenty of support and resources to help you succeed. I have yet to have a day where we are not able to practice scanning, which is very impressive compared to other programs. All instructors are experienced sonographers that set clear expectations for student performance. The director of the Ultrasound Program, Jorge, will go above and beyond for his students while preparing us for the field and anything it may throw at us. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a serious and successful career in ultrasound.Olivia Smith

This is my first time to be here, but I will not come back to this location ever AGAIN after being treated by a radiology technician. I have felt emotional hurt, very upset and stressful because the reaction of the radiology technician. He was really mean, racing his voice and his tone, and acted with negative attitude, his instructions was not given clearly, and professionally for first time patient in my case. If he doesn’t like his career, does not treat and care for patient professionally, then he should not continue to work at the health care profession where patient care are essential; in addition, I don’t see any of my patient right, or treat me with respect and courtesy; and I DO feel discriminate base on my ethnicity… I don’t want to mention his name …but I will not ever forget his last name and his voice, his negative attitude- on his named tag. Moreover, It has been more than a week but I can’t forget about that day, I hope that after I post this review then no more patients will go through all those bad experiences like me- so stressful, so emotional hurt, so unprofessional attitude, and being discriminated.Trang Cathy Pham

I had to get my bum ankle X-rayed, place closed at 5. Called them up at 4pm they were quick to answer the phone and told me to come on in. My heart sank when I walked into the lobby with 8 other patients hanging about. They took my id and insurance and filled out the forms for me while I took a seat. No less than 5-6 minutes passed and I was called back and led to a room. The tech was friendly and we chatted about motorcycles (reason for my bum ankle). Less than 5 minutes more and I was done and out the door and on with my day. I could’ve paid for a cd which is why there were people hanging about the waiting room. But I opted out. I have zero complaints. Hopefully I won’t have to go back but if I need a random X-ray this is where I’ll go.Steven Cabana

I have been seen at Valley Radiology many times over the years. During every visit, I’m warmly. greeted by the receptionist. I provide the necessary paperwork and thanked when the are returned. The X-ray technician ( I failed to obtain his name)is always congenial and professional. He clearly demonstrates exceptional patient care skills. I would not hesitate to recommend Valley Radiology Ciro.Victor K

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
