15 Best Sonography Programs In Atlanta, GA (2022 Updated)

I highly recommend Fortis College. This college truly wants their students to succeed in all aspects. This college has helped me find a job while I was a student. They also work so very hard to get you prepared and employed upon completion of the program. That alone is a huge relief on any student. Every single instructor that I had, truly made an impact and were always willing to go the extra mile. I also wanted to recognize 2 special individuals who helped me along my journey as a Dental Assistant student. Both Mrs.Peterson and Ms.Green have truly been phenomenal throughout my course of being a student. They truly take their time to allow their students to understand step by step what they are learning. I can assure you I asked numerous questions and they patiently helped assist until I understood. Not only are they excellent instructors (Mrs.Peterson Director too), they took the time to get to know us individually and even listened to our worries and even issues that we faced outside of class. They both have kept me level headed when I made mistakes and also made learning fun. Overall, I am grateful for my experience at Fortis College. I am happy to also include that all the hard work and support from the school has helped me obtain my Diploma in the Dental Assistant Program. And I will be continuing my education at Fortis as a Dental Hygiene student. Thank you Fortis!Kadeja Graham

My journey to success was greatly influenced by the countless opportunities I experienced at Fortis. I was seen, heard, and supported daily by the Fortis Family. I felt like a winner every time I walked through the door. I saw the faculty and staff be heavily involved in each student's success. I witnessed my campus President and Dean of Education work with students directly and get involved in every aspect of student matriculation. I am a dental hygiene student that soaked up every opportunity Fortis offered. I was fully supported by my Program Director and instructors. They understood my passion and assisted with every aspect of my dream. No institution in the world is perfect, but the way my school navigated the unsure waters of COVID blew me away. It is not what happens that defines you, but your choice in how you deal with life’s challenges that defines you. Fortis is a fortress guarded by professionalism, accountability, communication, and teamwork! I am beyond grateful for my 2.5-year experience here. It is an honor to soon be recognized as a Fortis College – Smyrna Alumni! I chose Fortis and what it stands for. As a future student, don't stop at acceptance. Go beyond and seek involvement. Here, you dream, you believe, and you achieve. Live your dream and let Fortis be your avenue for success!Charlotte Hall

My experience at fortis has been more than amazing . With such a beautiful and welcoming staff I just had to write a view . A special shout out to some of my most memorable instructors, Ms. Forte for always making sure we buckled down on what we learned and creating such a fun atmosphere during lab, Ms. Jowers for being my first instructor and making class such a fun learning style and giving us open discussions and Mrs. Turner for always being their for the students weather it was about school or not about school. Thank fortis for hiring such great instructors 👍Lily Sangare

I just received my bachelor's from Herzing University, and I cannot say that I would recommend this school to anyone. For those looking to pursue education exclusively online, I would say that this program is pretty straightforward, however, being on the Atlanta campus was stressful more than half of the time. When I started there in 2013, there were a number of professors that were so passionate about teaching (for instance Mrs. Hess, Mr.Moore and Dr. Friedman <—this guy had to be the best instructor to teach mathematics I've ever had) but to my knowledge, they've all left the campus. Now, it seems like they're understaffed and just unprofessional overall. I had a professor tell me that they asked him to teach a course the day before (leaving him unprepared, and I honestly felt that he was unqualified to teach the class (but when the lesson plans are laid out for you I suppose anyone can teach anything). In the time that I was there, there were three academic deans and three presidents. I tried to get assistance with tutoring once, and I had to literally chase them down to respond to me. Then, three weeks into the class with no tutor and the dean asked me, "Do you think getting a tutor at this point is worth it?" Seeing as though this was the last class I needed to graduate, I was baffled. What kind of question is that to ask a student? When enrolling here, I was under the impression that I would be able to take the majority of my classes on campus. I was a criminal justice student, and the majority of my criminal justice courses, and none of my law classes were available on ground. I pretty much just took my gen-ed classes on campus, and ended up online for two years because none of my other classes were offered on ground. To wrap this up, if you're looking to take classes exclusively online, then sure, give this school a shot, but I could never see myself returning here to further my education.Rose Gold

If you want to stay in communication with anyone regarding your academic records or attendance at this school, DO NOT EXPECT A CALL BACK! Their communication skills are the worst! I am currently in the process of trying to communicate with my advisor, Mr. Jermonte Battle after leaving messages and emails and no response. I was transferred to another advisor who sounded like he did not want to assist whats so ever and was quick to get rid of me over the phone. They are definitely money hungry and make you go through hoops to take of business! Today I have left a message for Shannon Moore, the director of admissions I guess and hopefully I'll receive a call back….I will be keeping this post updated! So please reconsider and continue to look scholars! 8/23 – I sent an email to Jermonte Battle expressing my pure concern regarding his communication skills and my request to withdrawal, his response was very short and he quickly directed me to the registrar's office to withdrawal. No remorse, no questions of concern or any interest on how he could make me continue to keep me as a student at Herzing whatsoever! RUN Future Scholars! That was my ticket out of there!Ariel Chisholm

I currently attend this school and for them to actually act like they care but don't really show it tells a person a lot. You can request no online classes but will place you in one. I feel like they set you up for FAILURE. There's a lot of work that this school needs in order to be great and communication is one. Teachers not communicating at a reasonable time is pure unprofessionalMatthew Lewis

These folks really need to get it together. Went in at the beginning of this current semester and met with an advisor to get registered for classes. Got registered, went to financial aid to find out status of loan. Was told everything was good to go and could come back the next day to pick up books. Went back next day and couldn't get books due to financial aid not going thru entirely. Went to financial aid, was told that I would receive an email with a link to sign a note. Link did not take me thru the entire procedure but did indicate that all was done on my end. Went back the next day and still couldn't get books. As this was the last day for registration and not being able to get by the school until late that afternoon, I discovered that yet again my financial aid hadn't Went thru and the financial aid dept was closed for the day. Was I formed to email someone at the registrars office named Dana that replied back with some unreasonable excuse as to why I couldn't register for the semester. Would literally give 0 stars if possible.Ryan Ashmore

DON’T EVER MISPLACE YOUR PROOF OF A DEGREE. I paid to have mine replaced and they won’t do it. So they have took what is mine or RUDE MISSY MCCLAIN IS TOO LAZY TO GIVE ME A COPY. MISSY MCCLAIN SHOULD NOT BE IN ANY PUBLIC RELATIONS OR CUSTOMER SERVICE!STAY 10-8

Graduated with an associate's degree in computer support. Where the A plus certification is worth more… Got a degree in business management and my Pell ran out.Matthew Neeley

First off, I would like to thank the entire staff at Cambridge from the admission coordinator, Professors, Clinical Instructor and Clinical Coordinator,& Mr. Flagg -yes I name dropped :). Let me start by saying this school has literally put me in the position to take care of my family for the rest of my life and I'm so grateful for the time and patience they had with me.. This school is Accredited…. I graduated from Cambridge's Radiation Therapy Program… and after taking and passing my board exam I got hired within 20 days 🙂 so take it from me, this is a great place to get a high quality education if you are willing and committed to put the work in!!!Trico Johnson

If i could give them a 0 I absolutely would. Completely unprofessional and disorganized. 90% of the professors have no interest in teaching. It is completely up to you to teach yourself the information or PAY for outside tutoring. They give you your schedule a week before the semesters starts so if you have a job, kids, or any other obligations just get ready to neglect all of that because of people who DON’T want to do their job. They literally give you a deadline of 4 days to get everything you need to be able to start your clinicals and they charge you for classes you are not even taking. Just don’t waste your time or money. Find a more credible school.Ebby Thompson

I've had a great opportunity thus far to really expand my base knowledge of the medical field and the classes I have taken up to this point have exceeded my expectations. I'm one of those students that constantly stays in contact with both my professors as well as college staff. I've never had a problem getting in touch with anyone through email, text, office, or (even) cell phone. They've really done an amazing job and I'd highly recommend it to those looking to go into the medical coding field. While I can't comment on the other courses they offer, they've certainly surpassed expectations in this particular field (in my opinion).Ryan Coates

I am a recent grad from Gwinnett college with my MA diploma. Though I loved ALL of my instructors (Mr. T, Mrs. Ross, Mr. Suggs and Mr. McCrae and Mrs. Dixon)and felt very prepared after graduation, the most important thing to me was what happens after I graduate bc so many people put in the work and have a difficult time finding a job, afterwards. Mrs. Middlebrooks worked with me in placing me at an externship site. I was very picky about where I wanted to go…and not go for that matter. She was very patient with me and I actually went on 3 interviews, all of which offered me the opportunity to work for them. After completing my externship, I was hired. I was actually hired as a medical biller even though that is not what I went to school for bc I showed knowledge in that field! Shout out to Mrs. Dixon who somehow made billing interesting and now I get to add billing to me resume! Unfortunately, that opportunity did not work and back to Mrs. Middlebrooks I went! She set me up with an interview within about a week and a half after reaching out to her and I was hired by them as well. I was even offered more pay bc I capitalized on the certification exams that Gwinnett offered and got certified as a medical assistant, phlebotomist and X-ray tech operator! The tools are in place to succeed, YOU just have to put in the work and the staff WANTS to see you succeed and will bend over backwards to help you get employment after graduation. After all, what good is all your hard work in school if you cannot get paid for it😉morgan wills

This school is a complete joke. Waste of time and money. The teachers are a joke along with the administration. I was there for 9 monthd and I didn’t learn anything. I took a medical insurance class and only did written claim forms all day. I learned absolutely nothing about medical insurance. The software they use is antiquated, no one even uses that system anymore. They don’t teach you to prepare you for the exam that you have to take (in which no businesses are looking for the certification you get from this “school”) instead, they have you log on to some online program to learn what you need to learn for the exam. Don’t waste your time or money…. you’ll be in debt for no reason at all. On top of all that…… I finished all my classes and did not get a graduation notice. I heard there was graduation so I emailed them. They were real callous about it and said they sent me an email. Basically like oh well. Well now it’s too late. This school is terrible! Unorganized and unprofessional. Not sure how they are still in business.PHYLICIA REDDICK

I enrolled January of 2016 in the Medical Assistant Associates Degree program. When I first started I was not sure if this was the right fit for me but, the instructors that I had the pleasure of learning from, were AMAZING!!!! I want to thank Ms. Jordan, Mr. T, Mr. Vencil, Ms. Mabry, Ms. Barnes, Mr. Suggs, Mr. Mauldin, Ms. Holland, Ms. Middlebrooks and Ms. Ross for making my experience one to remember. The encouragement that I received from each and everyone of those instructors meant the world to me. I put in the work and is graduating with a 3.9 GPA and, I am also now working as a Medical Assistant. Thanks to theses individuals I was able to be hired right after my Externship was over (Literally). "Knowledge is Power"Ronette Rose

An amazing school, small intimate class room and one to one interaction with professors. Honestly one of the best NCLEX review classes in Atlanta. I just recently passed with 80 questions, so felt they deserved an honest review. My cousin is currently doing sonography program with the school.dobally ceesay

Enrolled in the RN to BSN program, best decision I ever made. My professor is extremely understanding and helpful. As a working mom am not always able to make it to class, having an online option is extremely convenient, the RN to BSN program is only 12 monthsSaffiyah Oliver

I was helped with my teas test and my BSN at that school. DR Obazee is very professional and knows what he is teaching.He is willing to work with you until you pass and also has a heart to help student get to the next level of education.Bryslaine Denis

GTC Lied to me about the class details and future value. I took the PMP training class at Gwinnett Tech in 2019 before Covid. My major factor in choosing this $900 class was that I could retake the class in the future for free if I needed a refresher. I completed the class but was not able to finish my PMP due to Covid and the test change in 2021. Forward to 2022 and I am now being told they will not honor what they told me in 2019 and I will need to pay the full $900 if I am going to take the class again. Gwinnett Tech touted the ability to retake the test forever and was a major factor as to why I should choose GTC for my PMP studies. This has been proven to be a flat out lie. The class itself was also not helpful. It did not prepare me for the structure of the PMP test questions and even misrepresented the details of the test itself. Some of the things I was told for the test proved to be antiquated and wrong for the 2019/2020 test. My only reason for reaching back out to them now was to get a few nights of in person review of the new 2021 PMP structure. I am very regretful for trusting GTC now and will never seek out training with them again. There is a reason this school is struggling, stay away and look for a more professional organization for your Continuing Ed.J Gibbs

Do not waste your time. Phone calls are not returned, as soon as you are transferred to ANY department you will get the voicemail. Qliss appointment setting app is useless and inaccurate ( you can set an appointment, it will NOT be honored, even if you are early). Website is constantly glitching and inoperable. Emails will not be returned. GTC is not worth the hassle nor money. Advisors do not communicate with you, good luck if you are apart of Health Sciences. Save your time and money, the reviews are accurate. Sad, I didn’t want to believe them but they are 100% correct.G G

I have never had such bad experiences with a school they don’t respond to messages and if they do it’s weeks old. They deflect to avoid doing their jobs. I hope the teachers aren’t like this a bunch of lazies but, they do want your money they will never return your calls however, the week before classes start they are blowing your phone up but, has never returned any of your calls.L H

Emory is my dream university. I am always pleased being around students from this university. I love Emory unresrveablely. Always following up with her PA students.Edward Musa

Can hardly reach the service desk and slow response time for assistance for help for nursing care for my mom. Been waiting for 3 years for someone to contact me regarding this.Cynthia Jordan

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!! I enrolled in their commercial truck driving course and let me tell you I wasted 8 weeks and thousands of dollars. On basically driving around in circles all day. We were guaranteed at least 58 hours of on the road driving, and I maybe got 10 hours of driving on the road. The instructor Mr. Johnson was the worst instructor in commercial truck driving school history. I had to teach him the pre trip. He didn't know how to teach the backing maneuvers or how to train in manual transmission. The truck we trained in had a severe air leakage from the air brakes. The tail lights and turning signals didn't work. I caught him watching YouTube videos on how to do backing maneuvers. The program instructor Jefferson Solo, ignored our complaints about the unsafe vehicle. He knew Johnson was not properly training us. Yet failed to oversee his employee. i feel Atlanta Tech cares more about money, versus safety. I will be filing complaints to the DDS compliance, US dept. of Labor, FMCSA and any other organization that I can. PS. If you are a woman and plan on attending this program, do NOT apply for the Pepsi Cola foundation scholarship. They will keep the money and will not pay for anything associated with your fees. The whole program really needs to be shut down and restaffed. If you already know how to operate a truck you should be ok. This is for the beginner students, like myself. Who gotten taken advantage of and now I have to back track and find another way of obtaining m y CDL. Atlanta Tech has not heard the last from me. I want a full refund and all the monies I paid out to this school for materials and testing fees.Mindingmy Biznizz

Chilling here at this lovely academic establishment. Im waiting on my kiddo while shes in class. Everything seems cool here but then again im not a student. But my kiddo likes it here and she don't just try anything. Never too late to try and go back to school yall.Autumn Ortiz

i’m so grateful i joined this class! it’s an amazing feeling to not only see the growth in myself but all of my class mates. i feel prepared for the future and am ready to demonstrate my abilities. you can really tell how much the instructors care (in and outside of class) and set you up for success, specifically instructor Simone and Yvette really made a positive and impactful difference not only in class but they provide you with the tools and confidence to succeed in the work force. i will forever be grateful for these instructors and this class!!Gabriella Vitucci

This program was an awesome experience for me. Going in my confidence was very low and I didn’t think I was going to complete the program. But with the the help of the great instructors I finished. Yvette ,Simone, and Chandra had so much knowledge to share. And they took the time to make sure that we would become successful CCMAs THANKSAres Wimbs

I am a graduate of this medical assistant program and it is most definitely worth the investment. I had 3 wonderful instructors! They prepared me thoroughly to enter the medical profession at graduation. I highly recommend this program for future medical assistants. I am happy to say that this program helped me to get CCMA certified.Barbie Love
