20 Best Radiology Programs In Tampa, FL (2022 Updated)

I have had the misfortune of hiring now 9 girls from UT on a rotating schedule( when they have availability). I know a total of 12 girls that have either recently graduated, are in nursing programs, or 2 that are currently in masters programs, the 9 that worked/Ing for me are either recent grads, in their masters program, or a rising senior… So… now of these girls, even though they are nice have any queslificariona to work.. 6 out 9 which 3 of those 6 are or were in honors programs. Have no clue what they are going to do after school. Most complained about the treatment and the overall vibe of the campus. The 4 out of 12 girls that I know are graduated and with a Bachelors degree in Nursing or teaching can’t even find a job and are working in low level paying jobs… practically a step up from min. Wage. This university does not produce graduates that have a impact on the world. The quality of person who is going here 8 out of 10 is not the person you want working for you… This is a school for people who are good test takers but not ready or prepared to be in the real world at all… Go to bigger school that’s not private – private universities answer to know one which is not so good.. especially when it comes to the quality of graduates they are producing and putting out into the world. Which seems subpar at best. Save yourself the hassle, go to a public university. Like USF is bigger, better diversity, better teachers, bigger endowment, better statics with the type of person they produce back into the working world. Location is nice because it’s downtown but just remember not everything that glitters is gold…adoliop

Search history- During its operating period from 1891 to 1930, the hotel housed thousands of guests, including hundreds of celebrities. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Plant convinced the United States military to use his hotel as a base of operations. Generals and high-ranking officers stayed in its rooms to plan invasion strategies, while enlisted men encamped on the hotel's acreage. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also were at the hotel during this time. Roosevelt retained a suite, and during the day led his men in battle exercises on the property. The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression severely curtailed tourism. It remained empty and unused for three years. In late 1933, the Tampa Bay Junior College was allowed to move into the hotel, using the old suites as classrooms and offices. Because of the large amount of space afforded by the hotel, the scope of the junior college was expanded, becoming the University of Tampa. The Tampa Municipal Museum was established by the city to preserve the hotel in its original form and co-exist with the newly established University. Today, besides serving as offices and classrooms for the University of Tampa, the entire south wing of the building is dedicated to preserving the glory days of the old Tampa Bay Hotel. Various rooms in the wing display authentic artifacts from the old hotel, many of which were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Plant themselves on various European shopping trips. (Wikipedia)George Ortiz

Beautiful school in a great location, however, if you're looking for a good school with good academics DO NOT COME HERE. The nice look of the school and large dorm rooms is about all it has to offer. As a freshman I went through three advisors in one year without any notification of having mine switched, and I also told my current advisor that I am transferring several times; but I keep receiving emails from them telling me I still have to register for next semester. The advisors here are not really that helpful at all. When you contact any facilities they either take weeks to respond, or do not respond at all. The grading scale is also very odd, so take a look at that as well. My first semester I had all A's and one AB and that brought my GPA down to a 3.8, when in most colleges an A- will bring your GPA down to around 3.9. The wifi is almost nonexistent unless you're using a computer in the library. Please do not invest your money here and go to a more accredited and student friendly college, so you do not have to waste time and stress looking to transfer out of here like many freshman do.Morgan Lowe

I am a current student here. Next month I will be going on my extern. Honestly, this school was not what I expected due to the fact that I went to another MA school years prior to enrollment here. I want to say that Ms. Henson is by far the best knowledgeable MA teacher at the school. I learned a few things that I did not already know. The only thing I would say that I did not like about this school is how the curriculum is set up. First module, which is 4 weeks, you take certifications like CPR, HIPPA OSHA. Then you take 9 modules which is blended with other students. From there until you complete it's 2 hours lecture and 2 hours lab broken down into categories such as cardiology, geriatrics, pediatrics etc. In lab you do the skils pertaining to that subject. Most of the time it's in lab you don't have time to practice to be comfortable doing it on your own. I feel the other school was easier because the first 3 months I learned the body systems and CPR, OSHA, HIPPA and we got quizzes on what we learned. The last 6 months was lab. This gave us plenty of time to practice skills and be comfortable doing them. At Altierus, there is no quiz except the weekly homework that most of the time you cannot find answers in the book and the teacher never discussed it. So I end up wasting time on a timed quiz looking for the answer.And 2 hours of lab does give a lot of time practicing skills. I got all A's in each module. I think that's because I already work in the medical field and I went to another school as well. Do I think I would have learned anything here? Not as much. I think the curriculum really needs be revised only because it's a lot of information and 4 hours is not enough.Tacara Brown

This university scammed me out of 10,000$, I was never even able to receive a mecical license because of past criminal history. They charged me for a background check before I began my program and postponed starting my classes for clearance. I asked several guidance counselors and instructors when I received a substantial amount of money back from a grant I was applicable for. If I should begin the expungememt so it would be completed before I graduated. Everyone said not to worry and to invest in my new career. If they can take advantage of you they will. Update 11/09/2018 In response to the review above from the school. A defensive tone asking me to contact a 1-800 call center for help, making many claims at their irresponsibility stating that they are not an employer and are in fact an educational institution. It also mentions that they fully inform students at the difficulty of being hired by an employer with a record. As an educational institution it is required to understand the laws correlative to programs you offer towards state licensure. It is illegal to trade massage for money without a state license. Is that the difficulty you refer to graduates? I passed my state licencing exam, yet still have no licence. I am on my way, no thanks at all to practicing illegally as implied by this institution.David Durant

I’m glad I choose Altierus career college to obtain my dental assistant diploma. The staff were very supportive even tho my first language is not English. Ms Barnaby is a excellent teacher she has a lot of experience as a dental assistant she will give you some tips so you can work better assisting a dentist. I learn a lot from her and believe me every tips she’ll show you will help you a lot in your career to be better at your work. They have a lot of hands training which you really need so you get used to how offices perform out there. I graduated at the end of 2019 first job, is where I learn more about assisting amazing doctor but the pay was very low, but I get it I just graduated so I let it pass now I moved from Florida to NY and my EFDA is still acceptable dentist didn’t have a problem with that. All you need is to learn how to do your job and then you can ask for your price how value you think you are for the company. I learn a lot in this college and I’m so grateful for Ms. Barnaby for all her tips and help. Now I only have two years experience and I’m one of the highest pay on my area. Thanks to Altierus career college.Meybelin Pineda

A lack of compassion Waited for over an hour, was called up and told to wait a little longer for someone who could accommodate with my request. Sat back down and when I approached 20 minutes after to inquire regarding the waiting time, was asked to sit down in one of the two chairs to discuss my reason for visiting. They asked my name, then proceeded to taunt me by assuming my age was older several times, guessing random ages, before giving me a chance to answer their question "How old are you?" Proceeded to degrade me in front of others when looking for options on a list to finish the next step for starting college, then said "Well..we are trying.." with a sarcastic and frustrated tone of voice, when I didn't have one of the necessary second documents shown on the list. The advisor made me feel absolutely worthless. Felt horrible when leaving the room and left with a feeling that I was far too old with no other options, than to be attending their college grounds. Will keep note to discuss the Wise account and any other details with another advisor, should I encounter this specific advisor again. Was an awful experience, when striving to take a step towards a better future. Compassion is lacking here..Dragon Alchemy

The Spring Hill campus is the absolute worst of all of the campuses and I’d steer clear of them, opting for the Brooksville campus instead. They’re insanely disorganized, and trying to speak to someone is like pulling teeth. Even when you do speak to someone, they give you the run around. I’ve request for my transcripts to be sent on numerous occasions, dating back to May/April and my school STILL hasn’t received them. I’ve called multiple times to all different departments to resolve this issue; financial aid, for an advisor and eventually, to the student activities department. I regretfully didn’t ask for their name, but they took my information and said they’d take it to the person in charge of transcripts and that they’d be calling me back within the next two business days. Those business days came and went and I never received a phone call. I called the North campus instead and thankfully had the pleasure of speaking with Lidia, who allowed my family member to pick up my transcripts in person and just mail them to me. This campus is awful and no amount of free food or mediocre events will be able to fix that.N/A

Terrible I got dropped from one of my classes for no reason when I did my work on time and when I contacted the teacher Dr.ray asking why I was dropped and all she said was that I havn't done work and lied to me saying she hasn't seen assignment turned in since feb 15 saying its been six weeks even if that was the case wich it is not due to the break and the virus you would think you would get some courtesy I continue to contact the dean and her boss and was complety ignored not very surpising smh been going to PHSC for 2 years now and dissapointed being lied to a deceived. Already hired a lawyer to take PHSC to court due to the fact I depend on being a full time student to receive my VA benefeits now this Dr.ray teacher ( I think a doctor in being rude and in considerate) anyway don't take dr.ray classes. I'll update the reveiw if I get anywhere with taking them to court.Trenton Hardy (Demccy)

I'm a 58 yr old man who received the blessing of a free coronary artery heart scan offered by Life Guard Imaging. After being educated by my patient advocate Tara, I had the painless non-invasive scan completed. I fully expected that I wouldn't have any calcification in my arteries due to not ever having any problems or being diagnosed with anything. Imagine my surprise when the results came back with moderate plaque calcification in my LAD main heart artery (The Widowmaker). I now know what to do to fix this condition and have the opportunity to live the life we are all meant to live. Don't leave your health to chance. The people at Life Guard are committed to saving lives and they just saved mine! I'd like to thank Frankie and his amazing staff…May God bless you always!Eddie

I recently visited Life Guard Imaging and had a wonderful experience. The whole team is very welcoming and friendly, and they do a great job explaining how their imaging works and when you will receive results. The whole body scan took less than 10 minutes once I was on the scanning table, and it’s completely painless! Nothing touches you, no machine squeezing or pressing on your body at all. Both of my grandmothers had trouble with their hearts, so I now feel a huge sigh of relief knowing my scans showed a perfect heart score for me. Hooray! Early detection and prevention is key to living a healthy life, and I’m thankful that Life Guard Imaging is here to help people on their journey to wellness. Thank you!Allison Stokes Gorrell

I was very impressed with the entire operation from start to finish. Setting up an appointment was excellent. They walked me through the entire process and told me what to expect when I arrived. I was informed about the technology which is very impressive and what the scan would look for and what to do if I had some abnormalities. I signed up for a program with my wife to get scanned for both heart disease and any cancer annually. We walked out with peace of mind and a clean bill of health. As we left had a great conversation with management and will refer our friends and family to be proactive. We are lucky to have Life Guard Imaging in the Tampa area.Damon Aluisy

I would recommend this place to anyone with a need for any medical imaging needs! The front desk ladies were very helpful and professional, It was Mindy and Gina. The MAMMO tech Gerri was very professional and gentle and calming… having these tests is difficult at times due to having family members that have had cancer and Gerri gave exceptional care and was amazing! The facility itself is very clean and updated and they have new equipment which is also reassuring! Don’t hesitate to schedule your tests at this facility .. I highly recommend it!Sharon Brown

Absolutely the best !!! Professional, extremely caring, treat patient like a human being not just a number,. I took a 92 year old sweetie there and Joe recognized she was so cold he got her a blanket she loved it . Sharon took amazing care of her during the MRI . Front desk girls sorry I can’t remember all your names … you are amazing and so caring. . Extremely great experience !! I highly recommend this company to anyone who need any kind of MRI , X-rays done . Thank you for caring so much !Monika Schwarz

The staff at Akumin Trinity are outstanding! The lady at the front desk was so sweet and happy to help any way she could (helping me get set up with the patient portal, burning images to a disc, printing previous test results etc.) and the gentleman running the CT scan was super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience and a comforting place to be in. Thank you to these two staff members at Akumin Trinity!Stacey Janke

Small waiting room and chairs and rows very close. Half the people not wearing masks.One lady was wearing her mask below her chin. Signs stating to wear masks, not to show up of sick. Front desk staff not wearing masks. People in waiting room coughing and snotty noses without masks.Two people were coughing and not even covering thier mouths. The waiting room is small and the staff can clearly see this and hear it. Staff did not once ask people to wear masks or reschedule the sick people, even though you are not supposed to be there if you are sick. MRI tech was fabulous and wore a mask, front office staff was friendly, that is the only reason they get stars. Would never go back to this location in Tampa again.heather bennett

I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment. But was not taken to the back 45 minutes after my appointment time. So altogether, i waited 60 minutes to be seen. Patients that were in waiting room before me and after me were all taken to the back, some even came out and left. I went to front desk twice and they kept on saying he( James) is finishing up now. Because of that, i was late to take my daughter to her class that caused both, my daughter and I, a lot of frustration. Needless to say nobody apologized. I felt very disrespected.Elvi SpringRain

Arrived a little early since it was my first time. Filled out the minimum paperwork, it was only 2 pages. My appointment was for 10:00 and I was led back to the x-ray room exactly on time. The technician was very helpful addressing my special needs, and got the x-rays done to his satisfaction. On the whole, the place was very clean and the help was very professional, l will use this place for all my imagining needs in the future.John Burinda

In 2015, I began my journey as a new single mother to a sick little infant. I was going through a divorce, trying to understand what could possibly be wrong with my angel and trying to go to school full time in a new career field. From day one my guidance counselor, Mark Parker was my cheerleader. As a father himself he understood why I was so scared of the unknown regarding my little girl. Classes started and Amy Mercer helped me with all the didactic portions and insured I never said I can’t. Nichole Lambert was and still is the director of the ST program. Many times I thought I would never make it and they all assured me I not only could but would do great. Well then I went into clinicals and met Lucy Alvarado. She pushed me to be the best me and all together with the support of all of Concorde I not only am a CST, but I have surpassed that. I became a First Assistant then graduated with a BPH and now an MPH! A masters degree!!! And I could not imagined I would ever be where I am today without them! One team one fight! Thank you Concorde.Cortney Swanson

I am a ST student at concorde since February of 2020, I love the program, the students and the teachers really try to help you if you are lost or behind. During the covid-19 pandemic the teachers did not hault the program but they instead had us do our campus classes online and we meet up on 'Teams'(or zoom sometimes) 2x a week to go over our class work and go over our PowerPoint. I love how flexible we all are. We still have lab 1-2x a week and sometime split up people to minimize the amount of people in labor. If we email our ST teachers they get back with me within a short amount of time. I'm excited to graduate May of 2021😊Rose Hopper

I am a 1995 Concorde career institute graduate valedictorian of his class I am a certified medical assistant retired now. I went back to college when I was 35 years old and did this so any of you younger guys or girls you can do this. I never had a problem getting a job. Is a matter of fact they are very competitive and at this time there's a ton of them out there certified medical assistant is a very rewarding career. Concord clear institute is an excellent place to learn and get an advanced education. Go for it man I did!Dale Doe

This is by far the best dental academy in the Tampa Bay Area. Let me just start out by saying a big thank you to my instructors Teresa and Bobbi for teaching me and guiding me on the right path to become the best dental assistant I can be. If you are looking for a fun, caring and educational School, this is where you should be! The School revolves around its students. There is so much passion that goes into the way these teachers teach. The teachers are always willing to help in any area you may be having trouble with. Academy for dental assisting is always there for you through your whole process of becoming an EFDA. The curriculum is developed in the best way possible to help you as a student gain the education and proper training you will need to become an EFDA. The director of the academy Ronda, is wonderful as well. She makes an appoint to drop into the class without disruption to say “hi”, answer any of our questions and make us feel welcomed. I am highly satisfied with academy for dental assisting. If you’re considering going to school to become a DA, honestly look no further because you’re right where you were meant to be!Belinda Yohn

I’ve been a dental assistant for 33 years. I moved to Florida from Ohio and needed to get the Florida EFDA and X-ray certifications. I was so nervous to take the tests but I didn’t need to be. The instructor ( thank you Theresa!! ) and office manager ( Thank you Brooke) were so nice and funny and helpful. Once I entered the classroom Theresa had us relaxed and laughing. She took the time to get to know each of us. The class size was small so all of us girls were able to feel comfortable working with everyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far this is the best dental school I’ve ever been to and would highly recommend anyone take their classes or certification courses.Kasey Dreaden

This is the best school ever. They care so much about you and try all the possibles ways, so you can get the lesson and what they are trying to teach. My instructors Ms. Kathy and Ms. P. Jai are beyond any expectations about what a good instructor looks like. The care so much about the students and the way they teach is 100% understandable. I am going to miss them so much… I really enjoy my time there and I would recommend it 100% and beyond. If you are thinking to take this school as your, don’t have any doubts about it is the best decision ever. Take the Saturday class and the success is 100% warranty.Evelyn Dopico

I bought into the 7-year annual, full-body scans for $3995….upfront. It was a fully comprehensive report I received after my first scan. But a year later, I realized I needed to schedule the second in my series, and THAT'S when the trouble began. I've been ignored, put off, cancelled and ignored some more for almost two months TRYING to set an appointment….to no avail. You can never talk than actual human. All numbers lead to the same message, the same info that asks for one to leave info and a message…..only to be ignored. I am taking legal action to get my money back for services I am obviously unable to get, that I already (foolishly!!!) paid for upfront. UPDATE to the prior review!!!!! COVID negatively impacted my dealings with the company and scheduling for my second scan, but it was finally done, and all was well. There WERE some "burps" in the scheduling situation for my third of seven scans, due to circumstances that were explained to me by management. The upshot, however, was that I was scheduled, scanned, and all is well. I am armed with relevant and terrific info toward assessing and maintaining my wellbeing! It is wonderful information to have about one's health.Deborah Kelch

My husband and I met with the staff of Smart Scan to get ready for our heart scan. My husband takes good care of himself but he has some family history that I was worried about. We qualified for the free scan, and they presented us more information about preventative health. Which was well received. Other people had questions, so the information session last about an hour. They talked about doing the more extensive body scan to look for anything abnormal. There was a cost to do the full body scan program but they offered an affordable way to pay for it. My husband's heart score came back higher than he expected. I am so thankful that we now can have his heart and body scanned on a regular basis. Very professional and the staff has been wonderful. We signed up for the 5 year plan and this is our 2nd year doing the program.Melanie T.

Like some of the other 'reviews' I've read today, I am experiencing the same difficulties getting my scans scheduled. The first 3 years went well. This year, when I started calling to get them scheduled, I left message after message and not one return phone call. I've emailed. Left messages, etc. NOTHING! I am very disappointed. I see where others mention contacting an attorney. I was considering the local news channel to have them investigate and see if we are getting 'scammed' at this point! I'd be interested in hearing others' opinion. I reported them to the BBB but sadly, nothing came of it. I am SO disappointed! These scans are NOT CHEAP! I just want what we've paid for! Class action suit perhaps? Wonder how many of us are out there waiting to get what we've paid for?C L Mattson

I never thought at my age, 65, went again to the University, but I gratefully I found and did my Master at Everglades University, as a 40-year undergraduate and postgraduate professional, I can without any concern said that I could not found other University as Everglades, to fill my dreams. It is a place committed to help you to perform your goals, the authorities, the professors, the librarian, everyone is ready to help you in your tasks, because the academic load is proper and precise in each area for the benefit of your education. I have no doubs in highly recommend my American Alma Matter for your performing studies. I take this opportunity to thank everyone who made this happy ending possible, even the smile of the security personnel that receives you perform your day.Emiliano Llés Valero

I love this school, but I knew I would. I was intuitively drawn to EU in 2020, nervous and scared about going back to school in my 30's, but speaking to my enrollment specialist and the financial aid department, my intuition was right! It's been two years and I can not express my gratitude for the staff and faculty at this school. Everyone I have interacted with is so helpful, always willing to go above and beyond, if someone doesn't have an answer they follow up and get back to you! I am BIG on customer service and EU has exceeded all of my expectations of a college! I truly enjoy my classes and communicating with the teachers and staff!Tara Floyd

I have been attending here now for almost 3.5 years. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management and I will be graduating in a few months with my Masters. The Professors and staff here truly care about you and your experience. I highly recommend to any adult learner. For the person who put a bad review, the school does not pay us for our words, we truly love it here. It is a small school with one on one attention with people who are very knowledgeable in there fields. As with any major purchase do your research as this is not a traditional learners school but meant for adult learners who have busy lives.Karl Cieslak

Check in was wonderful, receptionist was upbeat and friendly and welcoming and patient. I was then brought back to a waiting area and no one saw me for 30 minutes and then a lady walked in and said change from the waist up and handed me a robe. I saw the lockers with a key , she never told me what to do so I just did what I thought. I waited 15 more minutes until she came back and brought me in for my exam. She was cold and callus. I was a tad nervous as this was my first mammogram. She could have been a tad nicer and friendly, she jerked my arms and really hurt me. I did not say anything but I was put off by that.Peggy Angarano

I came in early, was greater with smiles and pleasantries, brought right back. I was greated by Valerie, she got me into scrubs and helped get off everything I forgot like all my jewelry. She was super friendly, helpful, understanding of my forgetfulness and explained everything! Everyone is very quick to complain but not compliment, it is important to applaud a job well done. This was a great experience with such nice people last night. It's been a bumpy road recently so it was nice to have such a pleasant visit. Thank you!Chelsea Blanchard

Appt was in the Trinity location, got there 1/2 hr early only to receive a call while standing in line that their equipment was not working. I was asked if I could go to the Land o’ Lakes facility which I did. The entire experience there was wonderful, from the checkin to the actual medical procedure. The initial person who greeted me (didn’t get her name), + Sam, the X-ray team of Tyler & Shilo & Dr. Babin were absolutely wonderful!! Could not have asked for a better experience & a better team! Lana CruzLana Cruz

I arrived at opening time and was the second person in line. The receptionists were very friendly and my intake was very quick. From there, my visit went down hill. I came to the center expecting that the doctor may not be able “fix” my medical issue, but with hope they could offer some information and a referral to get in to see a specialist quicker than I could get an appointment on my own. Dr. Sanson asked what my medical issue was. Being a long-term problem that has suddenly gotten worse and intolerable, I stated when the problem started and tried to say that I had visited another doctor in the past and that doctor wanted me to just wait to see if my problem improved over time. Before I could finish my sentence, she cut me off and told me that gynecology is not her specialty and she won’t be able to help me, but she told me what she could do that day—bloodwork that might tell her something. That sounded reasonable to me. She then started going through a list of things that another doctor may do when she referred me to one. I tried to interject that was what I was expecting from my previous doctor, but that doctor was fixated on not using any of the medications which Dr. Sanson mentioned may help because I had high blood pressure at the time of that visit. I tried to explain that I had gone off of my blood pressure medication that week per another doctor’s request before a procedure. She cut me off saying the past is over and to move on and get over it because she has patients stacking up out there. She asked if I had had any other tests with that other doctor. I gave her the results of some ultrasounds. While looking at the test results I brought, she very nastily said she isn’t going to listen to what happened in the past and to move on and get over it. She repeated what she was going to do with blood work and I said that I had had blood work recently with my primary care doctor. Her response was that it didn’t work out with the original doctor and that I just needed to get over it and start over with another doctor. It’s not what she was saying, but her nasty tone and visible agitation that was so disturbing. After she left, I asked the nurse if she is always like that and she said yes, she’s VERY direct. I said I don’t mind direct. That was rude. The nurse must have spoken to her, so she apologized twice before I left, but her apology was that she is sorry that she came off as rude, but she told me four times (incorrect) to just get over the past and get a new doctor–the past is the past. To sum it up, I was impressed with the friendliness of the receptionists and that they could do blood work so quickly in house. I am supposed to get the referral next week, so I hope that works out. I would not return to this urgent care center again if my insurance didn’t have a zero copay with them. I would also only go for a minor injury or severe cold, flu, or other symptoms.Kristen Curts

Unfortunately for me, I have now been here three times this year. Fortunately, though, I received excellent care and attention all three times. This location is on Dale Mabry right across from Al Lopez Park. I made my appointment on their website and they ask for all your information, but it's easy to do. With Florida Blue health insurance, you get two free visits here each year. I have a Silver level plan…I am not sure if all metal levels include this. Anyhow, check-in is quick and each time I have come I've been back in a patient room within 5 minutes of my arrival. I always see a lot of staff who are eager to help and friendly. It's almost as if they don't have much to do. Still, all the staff I've encountered have been great – they listened to me and made me feel comfortable. One time I needed a CT scan, and I was having it done 20 minutes after it was ordered and then I received results within 30 minutes after that. The front lobby and back area are super clean, too, so I appreciate that. I'm really amazed by the level of care I receive here and surely recommend it.Arlene Lozano

I was having some health concerns earlier this morning and checked google which are the best urgent care centers available nearby. As I was scrolling through the list, I came across GuideWell Emergency Doctors. The reviews were up to date and impressive while there may be some that are on the constructive side. So I decided to go and check them out myself. As soon as I arrived at the facility, the staff greeted me with full smile even if masks were on. Check in was easy and when I was escorted to the consultation rooms, I must say I am impressed on what I saw around! The facility was neat and appeared to be like a full geared hospital. Dr Martino and her staff listened and heard everything I told them. She explained the possible causes and the next steps. I felt the genuine care and concern from everyone I interacted with today and definitely knew I am in the right place. GuideWell Emergency Doctors is on top of my list!normskie

Have participated in several research studies with this group. They are very professional, know exactly what the research is for, how it will help patients and who is best suited for the program. I've always felt safe with both the study I've been in and the practitioners. It's a great feeling to know others will benefit from what they do. I appreciate being a part of study that will help someone live better and perhaps even longer.Trudy Jones

I participated in a study for knee injury/arthritis. The staff is professional and put me at ease with a full explanation of everything that would happen. It was a great experience and helped me with my knee pain and with my decision on further treatment. Great people! I'd gladly participate in another study.Don Loughrey

They did try to get us into a study but could not. I know they did their best – it is hard to ask for more. I've done a few studies thus IMHO got the sense that they went beyond the checklist in trying to help us out and other should know the reps do try to help you .MrMikie007

When speaking with Dr. Stone, it is immediately clear how knowledgeable he is about orthopedics and, in particular, the arm and shoulder. However, what makes him such a great doctor is his bedside manner and genuine concern for his patients’ wellbeing. Dr. Stone asks many questions and listens carefully before making suggestions. He recognizes the patients’ need to be fully informed about their injury and is intentional when sharing the time commitment, financial responsibility, and long-term prognosis of each option he suggests for treatment. He demonstrates respect for his patients’ autonomy by allowing them the time needed to make an education decision concerning the best course of action. Even though he is a highly respected physician with a very demanding schedule, I never sensed that he was in a rush and, in fact, I left the appointment feeling heard, validated, and optimistic for a full recovery.Heather S

Best experience in an urgent care to date. Everyone was caring, knowledgeable, professional and patient. I’ve fallen several times and all I got in the past was ER, Primary to PT, no MRI, now I’m scheduled for an MRI and we will go from there. I nearly burst into tears when she pointed out my patella and said we should get an MRI. I’m incredibly grateful to the care I received today. Jennifer, Evin and everybody was amazing. The short haired blonde woman who helps People at the grocery store, the extremely young looking grandmother, and the beautiful lady with the sunburn, I wish I could remember all their names. Every single person was very good to us. And my son was with me and he was treated very well also. Can I give 10 stars?Keljean Pomatico

Two week follow up after reconstructive surgery. First of all, Dr Sanders took the time following the surgery to explain to my wife what corrections were made. When I met with him on the follow up visit he explained what was accomplished in more detail and an opportunity to ask questions. Dr Sanders does not make you feel as though you are wasting his time and due to his calm demeanor puts you at ease. To me he genuinely values me as his patient and wants me to succeed in my recovery and physical well being. In addition to this, his staff is exceptional as well which is a reflection of Dr Sanders leadership. Steve HardemanSteve Hardeman

I showed up twice to this location and BOTH times, I was advised that they did not have internet services up and or machinery was down- meaning that they could not perform the needed imaging I had an appointment for. The first instance, they called only 30min prior to inform that I had the option to go to another location that is across town – by the same time I had my 3pm appointment, allowing no time to even make it there if I even wanted to. So when I showed up they apologized saying they couldn’t call but someone else did from the other location? Anyways they rescheduled me for the following week. I showed up again and now it was the same situation now at this point they didn’t not even call! Both appointments were scheduled in the afternoon, and they had a mobile phone to contact patients as I personally saw the receptionist call the other location to accommodate another patient. The poor review is due to the lack of communication provided towards patients. I had explained I was at work both days and that I wanted to ensure confirmation when calling their scheduling services. Both times calling prior, I was told the office was up and running and open seeing patients – clearly not knowing what was actually happening at that location. So there is no daily update between the “scheduling” line and the locations, which is ridiculous. I rearranged my work schedule twice to arrive on time and was prepared with all needed documents just to be turned away. I declined rescheduling and will have my imaging done elsewhere.Noelia Lopez

WOW! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! If you need a mammogram/ you ABSOLUTELY need to get it done here! The staff is truly sweethearts and the radiologist technical nurses are beyond kind. I was there for a diagnostic which to be quite honest is terrifying, so the people you come around when facing potential bad news can really make a difference. The machine was state of the art technology and I didn’t have to squeeze my breast to oblivion to get my pictures for proper review. Every aspect of my experience was top notch ! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND going here to every woman I know.Denise Wharran

This was my first visit and I needed to have a total of 4 separate screenings and they were very helpful in scheduling for me to have them all done in one visit. The staff were very knowledgeable and made sure that I had followed all of the prep-guidelines for each test. The lobby was clean and peaceful, and not overcrowded. They were very considerate and made sure that I was as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. If I need any imaging done moving forward, I would not hesitate to choose their facility!!Eddie Nunez

Well this is happening right now. My appointment for an MRI was at 4:15pm it is now 6:30pm and I can’t get anyone to tell me when I will be going back. Even before today I had to wait on hold for over 40 minutes to get an MRI scheduled. I have kids that needed there mom home at a decent but at this point I’ll be lucky to make it back home before bath time. This is ridiculous. Update: I did not get out of there until 8pm!!! This was so far beyond the time I had planned to get out. The machine was down earlier in the day and that made them behind. Like you couldn’t have called to let us know? No, instead I waited 2 1/2 hours after my appointment to even be taken backsamantha robertson

I've been here several times, and every employee I've met has been friendly and professional. The large waiting room is always clean, and the chairs are about as comfortable as you can get for a medical center (cushioned with armrests). If you get a scan that requires you to remove everything, they give you a locker with a key so that only you can open it. They are also very professional with people who have medical equipment and/or service animals. Overall, I would say that, if you need any kind of medical imaging, this is the best place in Tampa to get it done.June Brown

I had an open MRI on July 22nd on my lower back. I have a followup with the surgeon, and some of the images are blurry. Why wouldn't the radiologists not check the images before burning them on disk??? Now, I have to get another MRI. Also, I had scheduling issues with them where I had to talk to the office manager. Their system texts and emails you multiple times to fill out forms on their website. I filled out the SAME INFORMATION about 5-6 times. I cannot believe Tampa General Hospital owns Tower.Bill Crowell

Friendly staff and usually quick once you get there. Only 3 stars because they are absolutely terrible on the phone. To make the appointment I had the wait 26 minutes in hold after the previous day using the "We'll call you back… With the next operator…." No that didn't work. Never called. Then they never emailed, no text, no call or had calling service to verify the appointment. I wasn't sure so spent 18 minutes on hold weeks later to verify appointment before it hung up on me. I did work, but Good luck if you need to call them. They don't care about phones, emails, or texts at all.Jeff Ellerbrake

Excellent, kind, efficient, professional team….what a relief! No pain during procedure, no clerical confusion and having to call a million times to set things straight. Live, very competent people actually answer the phone. The technician who performed the procedures was top notch and also very nice and human. It's always a blessing when people realize you're human, and know that they are too. (As opposed to getting the robot treatment …)Sandra Walsh

When I walked into Akumin in lots of pain, I was greeted with a smile, and was talked to a very nice tone, everyone was so nice, and that goes a long way with me special when you don't feel good at that time. And it didn't take long to be call for my appointment. 5 STARS out to all of the workers. KEEP up the GREAT WORK.Mary Parker

I was informed the day of my PET scan that my Dr. would be sent the results that day. 6 days later I contacted you to find out why she had not been informed yet. I was told my Dr. was not in your system and had to be added. I asked why after she was added the results were still not sent out to her. I was told she would receive them today(that day), finally 6 hours later i was informed of the not so good results!!! SO YOU DESERVE NO STARS, BUT THAT IS NOT AN OPTION!!!G Sina

I was greeted when I first went in and registered. I was contacted immediately by Sharon who prepped me for the ct. she brought a cozy warm blanket because I was shaking from the cold. I was told when my procedure would begin and it was right on time. I was treated with consideration and was made comfortable. When the ct was done I was escorted to valet parking. Even the iodine infusion was well done.Sandy Spence

Everything was as wonderful as could be expected. The front office staff has the sign-in process down to a science, which gives the patients a minimum of waiting time. My technician, (I wish I could remember her name… Rebecca?) was extremely efficient yet friendly and concerned for my comfort at the same time. I would highly recommend the Imaging Services at Mease Countryside!Charlie Wood

I went through Rasmussen's nursing program for a second degree and found it to be a good experience overall. Having gone through the traditional university route when I was younger, I will say there is less hand-holding and you need to be able to manage yourself to do well. Similarly, the accelerated courses require a fair amount of reading and self-study, so you need to be motivated to do some work on your own time. But if you can manage that, the professors have your back and want to see you succeed. Speaking of the professors, most were quite good. They all have at least a Master's degree, I believe, and all had spent time as working nurses before going into education (with a few doing both roles). They generally showed great enthusiasm in passing on their knowledge and experience to the class and were available after class or during office hours to lend extra help for anyone who might be struggling. My advisor, Kim Edwards, was very helpful if I had any questions regarding things like pre-reqs, the curriculum and needed courses, or in connecting me with any of the school's services, like tutoring or advice for reason grads looking for a job. Not everything was perfect: as a smaller school, the others in the area seem to get first picks on clinical sites, and there was some disorganization in figuring out where we were going in the midst of the pandemic, but everything worked out in the end and I still managed to have some great clinical experiences. Overall, I would say that if you want to get started with school, get through it, and get to work a lot faster than at a traditional college or university, and you're willing to put in the effort required to do that, Rasmussen is definitely not a bad way to go.Zachary Jacobs

Wow, it has been a bumpy road in my nursing journey to say the least, but Rasmussen University Brandon/Tampa will always hold a special place in my heart. They accepted all of my transfer credits from NY and I was able to get right into the nursing program. Although everything was in utter disarray when I started attending Rasmussen during the middle of Covid, they made every effort to lessen the difficulties and yet provide me the ultimate nursing experience. They really made an effort to meet all of our needs, no matter what they might be, and made continuous attempts to foster and support academic performance. The professors will challenge your routine thinking and mold you into the best nurse you can be. Their love for education and their passion for nursing will inspire you to want to do well and more importantly, help people. It won't be an easy journey, but with Rasmussen and their networks and resources, will make it all possible. I stand proud to soon be an alumni at Rasmussen University.Tylie Williams

Where do I start? I am in nursing school at Rasmussen University! Previously I completed prerequisites for another nursing school, but I wanted to weigh out my options. A friend of mine referred me to Rasmussen in July of this year, I gave a call to the school, completed all the requirements that were needed and was enrolled and started this month (October)! Throughout the entire process I was guided by an amazing Admissions Advisor, Mrs. Nikinna Stroud. She not only guided me, but she became a person I can confide in because she encouraged me even when I did not think it was achievable. I had personal things going on and she still was there to push me to do what I know is right. To this day, I have told so many people about her in my city and referred them to her. Thank you Rasmussen!JJ Sawyer

Tower Radiology at this location. They are not professional. My appointment was at 9:45. Received email asking to be there 30 min earlier. I was there at 9:00. Did whatever paperwork they requested, even though they already had it all. It was 11:00 when I decided I had waited long enough. I went to the front desk. The first thing she said was that I was late. I asked her to check the stamp of the docs she she had scanned. Then she made an internal call and told me that her boss would be out to talk to me. This lady came out to tell me that the machine they needed was not working. That I had scheduled a double appointment in two different places. NOT TRUE. That I could go there and have it done. I also wirnessed a very old person who was using a walker. She was told that the appointment book was full and they could not take her. This person said, she had traveled by bus from quite a disstance. Asked them to please do it. When I left this person was still there. They are not conscientious or effective. Will never go back to this place.maria florentis

The staff at this location are very cordial and polite. Unfortunately, that does not make up for the fact that this location does not see you on time. I had an appointment at 10:20 am, I showed up at 10 am as I was asked to do. After I checked in and confirmed my appointment, I waited for a very long time. I tried to check with the staff about the wait, they tried to tell me my appointment wasn't until 11am, and I was adamant that it was at 10:20. I was finally taken back to a room around 10:55 am. The entire mammogram process took less than 15 minutes. It's extremely disrespectful of your patients' time to not see them in a timely fashion.. Additionally, I was a little put off by the fact that I saw 2 of the staff members not wearing their masks over their noses. The waiting room felt a bit dirty, but the exam rooms were clean.Phyrra Nyx

They told me on the phone to show up 30 minutes before appointment. They also texted to say show up 30 minutes early. I got there 30 min before appointment and they said they had to cancel this because I was supposed to be there 90 minutes before appointment. I asked how I was supposed to know and she said to ignore the text messages and instead read the small print on the website when I registered. However, I scheduled on the phone with a person that told me 30 minutes. After fasting all morning, I’ll have to come back another time. Complete waste of my time.Kyle Reed
