18 Best Radiology Programs In Wichita, KS (2022 Updated)

I think it is pretty crabby that the college requires you to be 60 years old to get a GOLDEN TIGERS CARD when you are a graduate of the college but apparently that is how the board of trustees operate depends on if you donate lots of money or land then you get whatever you wantnatasha bryant

Very hit or miss. One doctor took our concerns seriously, and had my daughter flown to KC right away. The other time, the doctor didn’t think my daughter needed more care, wanted to send her home. I told him no, I know my daughter and I wanted her transferred to KC. He took his time, but did it. My daughter was rushed into emergency brain surgery within an hour of our arrival. Really wish I could go back and tell the doctor how wrong he was. If I would of went home like he was suggesting (thankfully I didn’t listen because I know how to advocate for my kid and when something is wrong) , my daughter would likely not be here. Sadly, this wasn’t our first experience with this either, otherwise I wouldn’t leave a review. But your ER doctors should be trained better on pediatrics who have hydrocephalus, and how it’s not always textbook. THANKFULLY, they just have to call her surgeon in KC who knows this, who can advocate for her when they don’t want to listen to the parents. I’d leave one star, but we did have one amazing doctor who did listen to us, and knew it was emergent, and had us on a plane within an hour. He saved our daughters life that day.Chelsea Verdecchia

Showing up at the hospital for surgery was not a very friendly experience – I was lucky that I had been there before, so I pretty much knew where to go. It would be helpful to have someone there, especially before 5 am since you have people checking in at that time. I would expect to have an easier experience/greeting, similar to the entrance to the children's part of the hospital. But once we got into the pre-op location, that went pretty smoothly. The nurse that took my brother back into the operating room was great; very comforting and friendly. The Cardiovascular ICU people were great. About the only thing else that wasn't good was the discharge. No nurse came to us to explain anything; just "here's your paperwork and someone will be here to take you out soon." No one even told us at least a time my brother would be leaving. But not having anyone sit down with us to explain the paperwork was not good. The OT therapist did do a good job of explaining the paperwork she gave us.Paula Flores

Rushing my daughter to the ER was one of the most scariest things I've ever done in my life. She's 9 months pregnant and it's from another state and my grandchild had it moved inside of her room for almost 48 hours. Driving to the hospital they was construction but that did not stop the staff from being prompt and giving a sense of urgency. They were super polite while transporting her. Arriving in labor and delivery department nurse Erica and Dr Hyde were very professional courteous hospitable genuine and thorough I don't know if they were mothers but they sure treated my daughter as if they were in her shoes my anxiety went from 20 to -5 hopefully I'll be able to see them again as they made this experience so much bearable than I expected their gentle and kind words touch their hearts I'm grateful for them to be there that day thank you so much Wesley Medical Center for having a beautiful staffTheory of Natural

This place is horrible. Dr. Sweets staff is the rudest people I have ever came across. They ignore symptoms, mess up every scrip you have. They spend more time looking busy that it would be to actually do the work. If you need an hiv provider then I suggest you move near a better provider.K J

I was on the west side of Wichita and I get turned around trying to get back East especially to some place downtown so I have put my doctor's address in on my map quest as I just pull up her address and I clicked on her address and it got me there just fine. thank you very much!Margaret Kennedy

My mother is very sick and we've been working with a team to figure out a diagnosis. Almost everyone we have encountered has been very kind and helpful. Only complaint is that scheduling is kind of bad. It takes a long time to get in to see anyone new, 2-3 months.Meagan B

This place is a joke, spent well over a Month, trying to get an appointment established with Dr Tokola. Medical records faxed over, set up an appointment with another Doctor, had a referral sent over, insurance authorization, etc. Just to be told, I would have to be seen by Dr Scott, because he did injections, over three years ago and he was only willing to do that again. I didn't want to see Dr Scott, because what he did, didn't help. The entire process, it was 100% clear, I was seeking care, from Dr Tokola. Essentially, forcing me to see a Doctor who couldn't properly help me, just because they did injections, over three years ago, makes no sense. This place is understaffed, they return voicemails a week later. When they finally call back, they're rude and brief. A great deal of time and effort, went into setting up this appointment. I could've been using it, to properly establish pain management elsewhere, had I been told this, well over a Month ago. When I conveyed this, I got excuses and an attitude, rather than an apology. I've had 7 spine surgeries in the past, they knew who I was scheduling with, why the appointment was being scheduled, they have my medical records, etc. They knew that it was imperative, that I get an appointment established, immediately. At least 6 weeks, in excruciating pain, jumping through endless hoops, to get an appointment set up. Just to be told, they couldn't provide proper care. How ridiculous!Jamie Horn

Dr Scott has a very nice bedside manner, however this organization has HUGE administrative issues. They are so understaffed that not once in 20 calls to them in four hours did a human answer. All phone prompts roll over to voicemail. They call you back in 24-48 hours. I had to get in my car and drive 30 mins to talk to a human. When I got there, another patient was in line ahead of me who also had to drive over to get a human to talk to. It takes weeks and weeks to get scheduled after you send in all your paperwork. It’s obvious that they are completely under staffed. Additionally, even though I had sent in all my filled out paperwork, when I checked in for a service, they asked me all the questions again. I had to yell all my private HIPPA info to the receptionist because of the plexiglass between us. Zero privacy.Trauma Perspectives

KS&S is terrible. They turned a 20-year old college student over to a collection agency without us knowing we still had a balance. The first indication we owed something was when we received a call from the debt collector. KS&S claims the couple statements they mailed were returned as "undeliverable". Instead of picking up a phone and calling her, or myself, the party responsible, they turned her over to a collection agency. We had the bill paid off in 5 minutes after understanding what had happened. KS&S could have had the same result if they would have only picked up the phone. Medical profession incompetence at its finest.Travis & Danna Reynolds

I wish I would have gone somewhere else. It's an overly-priced high school. I was a music education major and attended for four semesters (two years). Tuition is cheaper than most private universities, but the education does not live up to the price. Teachers are too involved with your private life (at least in the fine arts department). The school has no money which is one of the reasons they hired the new president of the school. They increase tuition by about $500-600 every year. Keep in mind that this is a private Christian school, so you will have to take extra religion classes in addition to your general and degree-related classes. Many teachers were fired during my short time attending Friends because the school didn't have the money to pay them. Don't go here just because it looks nice or is a Christian school. Unless you are a Spanish or Zoo Science major, you will receive a far better education choosing a different university. The debt is not worth it.Cassidy Sutton

Not worth the ridiculous cost of debt that will follow you till your grave. Get a job trade, make decent money, and live your dreams to the fullest. Unless your career absolutely requires a degree or you feel the need to go into higher academia don't play the college debt game. Speaking from several that have attended this college and who are still paying for education that did nothing in the workforce! Several I know found nothing with their degree and are doing well without it. Fail to complete your degree? Don't worry Friends will send the nastiest creditors till the end of time after you to remind you of your eternal debt. I rank college loan officers worse than payday loan centers!Philip Nielsen

I am an alumni of Friends and what the previous poster stated was accurate. Even though I relished my time here, looking back, the degree was not worth the money. There are other places in Wichita to get a degree and not be in a mountain of debt. I assure you that the quality is also about the same. I wish more young people realized that they will eventually have to pay it back unless they were lucky enough to get scholarships or parents that paid.Emily Bennet

Chilled (Really comfy cold) at the HCC Library. They have a FREE Magazines box and the 25¢ book shelves, great way to expand your home library. The librarians are really passionate about student achievement, and are excellent with the latest technology. And out the East doors of the library is the campus pond and gardens which are very well maintained. The varieties of flowers, plants, grasses are impressive, and my all time favorite on the HCC campus is the Zebra Grass. The pond area would make for a nice evening out, and anyone can visit it FREE!Terrencedean Stucky

Silversmith/jewelry making classes here on Saturdays are a great experience to learn a form of craftsmanship that not many have an opportunity to do. We have a great time learning and making!! Pictures of jewelry – created by students. Cabochons brought in by lapidary artists for us to learn how to bezel set in silver. Third set for Fall '22 classes have started,Lori Martin-Price

This place had a lot to offer. Made for a fun learning experience even for my young kids. One worker, named Tori, made the experience even more enjoyable by engaging so kindly with my kids. I cannot wait to go back!Dakota Hammond

First and foremost; I’m not some angry dropout, I’m an Alumni. I will highlight on this post all of the issues I have regarding newman. First off, they’ve been sued around 5 times in the last several years, feel free to look up why. furthermore; Their tuition increased 3 times while I was there, they really exemplified what the word catholic means when they increased tuition $1,680 at the height of the pandemic when we switched to fully remote. I can’t imagine why considering teachers would be working far less but I digress. So what does your $16,280 a semester get you at Newman? I’m not too sure, they do not have a job placement program They require an internship for graduation but guess what? They do not coach you on what to do, how to apply, or who to apply too, they can’t even provide a list of firms which utilize newman interns. They very rarely, if it all have ANY job fairs. They over charge everyone yet give student athletes everything free including books, meals, clothes and lodging, while increasing costs on everyone else. You’d think if you’re paying prime money for “prime private” education you’d actually get that right? Wrong, all classes are practically graded online, and all homework is done online as well. Many classes are offered every other semester. If you’re like me, you had to wait ONE YEAR for the next cycle of classes I needed to be offered (sorry to any finance majors.) Hardly anything is offered over summer unless it’s a very basic gen ed. The last issue. I was told by their student accounts dept. to set up “X” amount as a payment plan which would cover all of my summer and last semester of fall classes. I did as they instructed. Then they followed up one month prior to graduation and told me that i actually owe an additional $4,280 and that they’re not sure how they told me incorrectly. Oh and I couldn’t check my balance to know this because they switched systems and didn’t include students who were slated to graduate. Intelligent. If you want my very honest opinion. Go to WSU it costs FAR LESS, the quality of education is FAR HIGHER, and you can take classes when you actually need and want to take them. Am i glad I have a degree? sure? However I will never donate a cent to Newman, I’ll suggest everyone I know avoid them, and if I could do it all over again I would’ve went to WSU.Levi Skelton

I can confirm what someone else said about the poor customer service from the staff – particularly when dealing with the business office. I had a bad experience in my dorm (mold), and after paying for a room change and medications upon medications during that time period, I spent over $600. I was not able to pay my tuition in time (I was paying out of pocket) but despite this they charged me interest twice. I was told that because of the date that it was too late to refund the interest charges. I loved that roundabout. I had proof from my doctor and receipts for medications, including allergy meds (before I realized I had a mold problem I thought it may have been severe allergies, though that wasn't it). The Payroll Administrator (Jeana Scott) was unbelievably rude and disregarded my situation as totally meaningless. She condescendingly responded to all my statements and questions, and I quickly realized that, no matter what the problem, that I would never return to the business office again.jari56ify

Great University and amazing people. At first I thought that it was not my place, but definitely the best choice I have ever made so far in my life. Faculty is amazing. They help you every time you need them and even if you do not need them they offer to help at any time. Staff is also amazing. My first semester was a little bit frustrating for me because my accent was very strong and it was hard to communicate others. They took the time to understand me and listen to me patiently. The student population is awesome because they are very social and want to do things all the time. Regarding the classes and academic level, I loved it. Classes are challenging but teachers help you any time you need. There are also tutors available in case you cannot meet with the teachers. Facilities are also very nice and what else can I say…I would totally recommend this university. Contact me if you need more information!Jose Luis de Mesa Galindo

Went to college here for a year. Beautiful campus, great dining, excellent staff, and an overall good experience. There are many clubs to get involved in and so many campus activities. Many of the buildings are modern, including the Student Center and the Dorm. The Dorm- Shocker Hall- is an incredible place to live. When I left, they had just finished building the new Flats on campus, which look amazing as well. Overall, a great college with a beautiful campus that’s relaxing to walk around at night. Many cool sculptures as well!Angelique McVey

I got both of my graduate and undergrad degree from Wichita State, and I really liked my experience. Wichita State has a beautiful campus, lots of student organizations through which students can get involved, there are always some activities & events going on on-campus. The campus is full of diversity. Instructors are pretty decent, helpful, most of them really care about their students success. Class sizes are not too big for most of the classes. Overall, I had a great experience.Asif Ahmed

It’s hit or miss with professors that care, don’t bother getting one with tenure they are the worst professors. Financial aid office doesn't care about helping pay for school and ignore revision requests. Costs constantly going up for things students don’t need and parking is an absolute nightmare. Good things are the campus is nice and fairly up to date. When you get a professor that cares they are willing to help. Advisors are hit or miss.Kaylee Wallis

As an older male returning to college, I was skeptical as to how serious I was going to be taken. From the moment I met the people in the front office, to the staff I have met along the way, I have been treated with nothing but respect!! The entire staff from secretaries, teachers, administrators, and others make you feel very welcome! The classes are of a size that the teachers can work with students very diligently on a one to one basis if needed. All are very knowledgeable in their fields and extremely helpful. As a pharmacy technician student, I have gained a lot of information in a very short time, yet it was taught in a way that retention was rather successful. The facilities are well equipped to train in every field and are well maintained and up to date. I would recommend this facility to anyone wanting to enter the fields of study that WTI offers!! Thank you to all staff and students for making this experience wonderful and very professional!!Mark Wilson

I wish I could give less stars. Please save your money and do not go here. they can not offer you any education, everything they teach for a hands on technical school will be online. The teachers do not try at all and will leave you to research everything on your own. The whole HVAC program is a disgrace to anyone trying to learn the trade. Jeff Martinez is one of the worst "so called instructors" because he never shows up and lets his students do all the teaching. I have plenty to say about this school but my comments as a student were never addressed. The head of whoever was in control did nothing and only wanted me to enroll for another semester. They tell you that you will learn more the next semester but you will not. You can learn more on your own and can easily get a job anywhere without college credits.Do NOT go to WTIGilbert Herrera

I loved all of my instructors and staff. They were all dedicated to make sure we received the best training we need to go out and be successful out in the field. Career services is also the best in the business. They do whatever it takes to help after you complete your program. It was so reassuring to know that the staff at WTI is there with you from start to finish and beyond.Linzee Sparks

Dr. Cooke and her staff are professional and compassionate. They took care of me every step of the way during my 35 radiation treatments. I did not just feel like a patient. I felt like a friend. When you have treatment every day for 35 days you do get to know a person. The staff at the front desk always greeted me and my family with a warm welcome and were immediately responsive if I needed assistance to get back to the dressing room. The staff that provided the treatment were always engaged in how I was doing with my chemo and day to day health issues. They always showed empathy when I was having a bad day. And they were so happy for me if I was feeling good that day. Dr. Cooke and her staff were very engaged in my treatment and explained step by step how this would work and what they were doing. They answered every question and concern prior to treatment and during treatment. If I needed to see Dr. Cooke on a nonscheduled day they arranged it without question. I was given the best treatment possible in my circumstance and the outcome was what we all had hoped. No active cancer. The entire staff was as happy as I was that the treatment worked. I would highly recommend Dr. Cooke and her staff to any family member or friend.Kim Sanders

Loyd (my husband) just finished his 2nd round of radiation at this facility. This team and Dr. Rine go above and beyond in making their patients feel at ease and important! Loyd was one of the first patients 5 yrs ago when they first opened and we were both so pleased with their team effort at making this journey pleasant. Crystal (front desk) is amazing at making everyone feel welcome and they matter😃 with a ready smile and goes above & beyond helping Loyd with questions not even related to his treatment there. Upon returning for the second round, he was greeted by name – a small thing to some but he received that same treatment at each stage of his appointment. Best place ever for treatment!Joyce Sims

What a great staff and facility. I have worked in medicine all of my professional career and this is a place that I would be proud to work at. Dr. Rine is one of the most cordial and easy to talk to doctors I have ever met. A truly great guy. The techs that run the BAM (big ass machine) are friendly, knowledgeable, make the daily visits easy to put up with. The front desk personnel were very helpful explaining billing and are always quick with a greeting and a smile. Overall, I recommend this facility highly if you need the services it provides.Gary Willms

What a waste of time all they do is lie everything they promised in orientation was a load of nonsense they promised us constant time in the shop but we ended up spending it all In the classroom they did not have enough WORKING computers for us and the ones that did work were about ten years old the instructor we had was constantly late and somedays he wouldn't have anything for us so we would all just leave it go so bad that my friends and I would just leave and go get breakfast down the roadTyler Patrick

I am 47 years old, recently laid off from aircraft where i worked for almost 20 years, trying to find competitive wages anywhere near what i was making was impossible. I have enrolled at wsu tech and im almost half way through my training, and i feel very confident i'm going to enjoy a rewarding new career.Wokpete

Great place to learn a trade and make a real living. They follow current technology like the Alternative fuels and pilot classes.Chuck Kauffman

Not impressed by this school, classes are still online when they really need to be in session especially to practice skills. Had non-stop issues. If the nurses don’t want to teach then you need to move along. Need instructors who care and want you to succeed and help you to improve. Teaching yourself is extremely difficult and not what I pay for, I pay for a service. The instructors don’t follow the schools values and missions. Disappointed to say the least. One of the worst customer service interactions. I was given a code from my school to purchase some materials. The code ‘malfunctioned’ according to APEA since the price was lower than what they charge normally. According to them and my school it was my fault the code I was given gave me a bigger discount. I politely responded stating as a business owner I would never track down a customer and harass/threaten them that unless I received the full price I will cancel their order. But my school stated it was my fault thus I have no choice to but pay whatever price or I will fail my class. As a disabled veteran I am deeply hurt of the result of this company and my school.Kimberly Stanfield

University of Kansas Medical Center (affectionately called “KU”) is the region’s major health care institution. It is a very busy hospital providing comprehensive and highly-specialized services. They are a go-to institution for complex medical needs including cancer and stem cell transplant. We predict that KU would continue to grow and gain stature nationally. By the way, there are some beautiful glass art displays in the hallways! Also, the cell phone connection is consistently poor inside the buildings and should addressed .Rakesh Goyal

I was recently a patient here and on the 6th floor in the med unit the nurses were so amazing they were very efficient and caring. The doctor "Doctor Brown" was so awesome he really knew his job and how to treat me ive never had a doctor ive felt so comfortable around I personally have mental illness and I dont feel comfortable in alot of situations I would recommend dr brown to anyone hes amaing at his job. Great job ku at putting your patient first. If I could give this hospital 10 i would.KRYSTAL YOUNG

I was scheduled to come in for surgery at 1230. We show up on time and do the paperwork and wait in the lobby. Shortly after sitting I'm called back where we do more paperwork, I change, am given an iv and a sticky heart monitor on my back. Was not once told the provider was running behind during this process. We wait and after about an hour and a half start asking questions. Over the course of the 3 hours we stayed there before we just left, without having anything done. We were told several different things as to why it was taking so long from a patient arrived late, the provider was running behind to the provider is on her way (not even there). We were told things like theres one patient ahead of you 2 hours into waiting to youre next but wouldn't give me a time frame on how much longer id have to continue to wait. We get an admin person to our holding room only for her to very rudely explain to us how hospitals work. (It's not a hospital) and how sometimes things get behind. Which is fine but they could have given us the option to reschedule as opposed to make us wait for who knows how long to have an hour long surgery done. I have never had to wait this long for a surgery and ive had 2 reconstructions done. I know the provider is partially to blame but the sheer rudeness of the staff and lack of communication makes me not want to go back.Samantha Smith

I was so impressed with the entire process from check in to recovery. Everyone was amazingly polite, professional, and helped calm my fears of having surgery. The one-on-one care, light banter and small talk was just what my nerves needed. I wish I could remember my pre-op nurse's name because she did such an amazing job calming me down. After surgery, Hallie was absolutely fantastic! I felt like I was being such a needy pain, and she assured me I wasn't (I hope that was true!) and she was right there any time I needed anything with a smile on her face. She made sure I stayed completely comfortable for my 6 hours recovery stay. I can not say enough about how much I appreciated all of them! I hope to never have surgery again, but if I do, I know where I hope to go.Jamie York

VERY impressed with Cypress – even with the covid protocols the check in process was very smooth. They had communicated a few days before on what to expect so there were no surprises when I arrived. Once checked in the wait time was just a couple of minutes. Every staff person I had contact with was very friendly, competent, gave time for questions. No one seemed rushed. Dr. Meschke was great as always, checked in with me after the procedure – he had called my daughter ( my ride home) with the results as well. They gave printed post op instructions and sent me on my way. I've been told I have high standards – and they were met!r moore

A spirit of calm professionalism permeates the place, I got some important dental work done here and have absolutely no complaints!Levi Granger

Their refusal to hire black people… A bunch of Over Drama White females who think we aren't capable of doing a job….I applied an wanted to see, I'm way more qualified then what position they offered… Nothing…. Everything in this dumb Town of Newton is like this But they sure do want the tax breaks.. Oh yea, Latinos n Black's give them tax breaks…Andre Crabtree
