19 Best Sonography Programs In Wichita, KS (2022 Updated)

Our instructors were caring and passionate about CNA’s. I know there is allot to teach within the short amount of time, but I would have liked more time being hands on during skills and having the instructor involve us more in lectures rather than us sitting for 4 hours listening. More interactive discussion or Kahoot opportunities I feel would be beneficial for all students, as many of us would talk about at clinicals or on breaks during class. But overall I always felt welcome and respected at Allied Health and would definitely recommend this program to anyone who asked! 😊De'Janae Arnold

This course gives you everything you needed, and it was not much different than what I had learned in RN school. Unfortunately, RN school stopped letting you take the exam the year I went in 2022 of this year. I passed the course and got sick at the end to not graduate RN school or get my IV certification. Truly enjoyed the course without the stress.Nicola Robinson

I took a CMA class. My teachers were very knowledgeable and helped us learn the material and feel confident that we can go out on pass meds safely. The class felt like it went by fast and the second week there is a lot of material to go through. But I passed the exam the first time through. The give you plenty of tools to study with.Stacy Roenne

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

My first experience here was awful. I was referred by my Obgyn, but never received a call to determine my appointment time. Instead, I got a confirmation email for the appointment. There were two times listed and so I called to clarify, but was only able to leave a message. A day or so later, I got a call back and was told the earlier time (11:15) was my sonogram and the later (1:00) was the visit with the doctor. I asked if the sonogram would take that long or what the reasoning was for the significant gap in time. I was told the office closes for lunch, from 12-1. I arrived at 10:45 with all the completed paperwork and ID requested. I paid the copay and sat down to wait for my appointment…. I waited over an hour. At noon, they called me back for my sonogram. The tech was courteous and professional and kept me informed on all the images she was capturing. She finished around 12:40 and told me I had 20 minutes till my visit with the doctor. I asked at the front desk if the delay I’d already experienced would affect my 1:00 appointment, she said no and I had about 15-20 minutes till they would be ready for me. I was starving and so set out to find something quick to eat. Being lunchtime, everything was packed and I ended up buying protein bars at Walgreens, just down the street. I rushed back and walked back into the office right at 1:00 — frazzled and out of breath. The nurse took my blood pressure and it was just shy of dangerous…….. high blood pressure was the whole point of me being referred in the first place! The whole set-up and structure of how things were managed at this visit made my visit horrible and my symptoms more alarming than they should have been. This should be considered unacceptable anywhere, but especially at an OB that specializes in high-risk pregnancies. Dr O’Hare was nice enough and gave me plenty of information — but the whole visit was tainted by the complete mismanagement of time. I am to continue going throughout the remainder of my pregnancy and I can only hope things improve drastically!Lydia Veer

Went to two appointments. The first, I had my son with me, as I have no one available to watch him in the mornings and they only do morning appointments for new patients. They made my son wait in the waiting room. However the rest of that appointment went fine. Had my sonogram and spoke to the doctor. My second appointment was a disaster. I made a mistake in confusing the dosage of my medication, however I was following the directions on the bottle, so it didn't really matter. The nurse began to berate me and did not stop. She complained that I was not taking my medication correctly (I was, just confused the dosage), I wasn't doing my blood sugars correctly (I was per each meal I was eating), and was not eating properly because I was not eating 3 meals and 3 snacks per day (I had already spoken to the doctor regarding this at my last appointment and she did not complain). Had enough and told the nurse that she could leave and let me do my sonogram. She told me if I was going to be uncooperative that I could find another doctor. Then continued to badger me about whether I would cancel my follow up appointments. I told her I hadn't decided and she finally left the room. My sonogram went on without difficulty. The sonographer was friendly and polite. After my sonogram, I mistakenly thought I was supposed to wait to see the doctor, like I did at my first appointment. Realized my mistake when the receptionist and another worker started discussing loudly why I was still in the waiting room and that I was the woman that chewed out their precious nurse. Double checked with the receptionist that I was not to wait to see the doctor and left.C C

After reading the two previous reviews, I was really unsure of what to expect from this place. Well honestly I expected to be greeted and treated with rudeness or indifference. I happily found NEITHER 🙂 from beginning to end everyone I dealt with was very friendly! We came on aMonday morning. The receptionist was filling in but she was very eager to help. Another woman who was 34 weeks along said that she was a regular and that every one on the staff was kind and nice and helpful. Based on my experience today, she was right. We had a sonogram and 11 in the morning, and then a consult with the doctor Margaret a hair herself at one. We did end up waiting probably 20 minutes. It was a little bit of a wait but not terrible. We had planned on spending basically the whole day there anyways so it didn’t bother us. All in all, we thought that it was a very nice place! I hope more ladies will write more reviews regarding their experience!keisha deguzman

(Translated by Google) In the area of ​​languages ​​(ESL) the teachers are zero initiative, those who do not speak English by origin have very bad pronunciation and very pronounced accents. The work material is old, they always take the same exams to level up and these have a printed date of 1987 and the review will only be "listening" and "reading". The class is mostly based on the Burlington program, so what you will see in class is a reading and exercises mostly from that internet program (come prepared with sweets to help you stay awake). The progress of the classes is extremely slow, so it is highly recommended that instead of spending $50 for the course of 12 hours per week for two months, with vacation periods of just over a month, you better buy a book to learn English. and study at your own pace. The money you will pay may not seem like much, but the time you will waste attending classes is too much. I personally believe that Goodwill (company that supports NexStep A.) tries to help the community, but the lack of empathy, initiative and low professionalism of the people who work at NexStep cause students to drop out of classes and thus lose many opportunities. Goodwill has already put the initiative, facilities, equipment and financial resources to help the community. Very unfortunate that all this is lost by people who do not know or do not want to do their job. (Original) En el area de idiomas (ESL) los profesores son cero iniciativa, los que por origen no hablan Ingles tienen pronunciación muy mala y acentos muy marcados. El material de trabajo es viejo, realizan siempre los mismos exámenes para subir nivel y estos llevan fecha impresa de 1987 y la revision sera únicamente de "listening" y "reading" . La clase en su mayoría es basada en el programa Burlington, así que lo que vera en la clase es una lectura y los ejercicios en su mayoría de ese programa de internet (vaya preparado con dulces para poder mantenerse despierto). El avance de las clases es extremadamente lento por lo que es altamente recomendable que en lugar de gastar $50 que costara el curso de 12 horas semanales por dos meses, con periodos de vacaciones de poco mas de un mes, mejor compre un libro para aprender Ingles y estudie a su propio ritmo. Tal vez el dinero que pagara no le parezca mucho pero el tiempo que desperdiciara asistiendo a las clases es demasiado. Personalmente creo que Goodwill (compañia que soporta NexStep A.) intenta ayudar a la comunidad, pero la falta de empatía, iniciativa y bajo profesionalismo de las personas que trabajan en NexStep provocan que los alumnos abandonen las clases y con ello pierdan muchas oportunidades. Goodwill ya puso la iniciativa, las instalaciones, el equipo y recursos financieros para ayudar a la comunidad. Muy lamentable que todo eso se pierda por la gente que no sabe o quiere hacer su trabajo.caro

I just hope the teacher who is named Lisa is not working there anymore I would love to come back , she was a terrible teacher And I remember when I was there 10 people have walked out from her class and Give up.Alter avi

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

Went today at 5:30 to drop off my book before deadline and the doors were locked and closed sign was up, the sign and the website said they closed at 6, so I rushed over, pretty annoyed right now to say the least.Cesar Vera

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

Bethel is a great place to start your nursing career, from the time I walked into the door to enroll all the way till I took my state test they have had there arms open with a big welcoming as well very encouraging to the student's. Not on time did I have any problems the instructors are great they share there own experiences with the students as well as hands on learning ms Karen is a great instructor as well as the other employees that work there as well.. I also loved that the classes wasn't that long and you can finish the course within a few week's! Can't wait to take my CMA and on from there.. thanks for opening the new journey into my new life GOD has gave me I appreciate it all!!!Ayanna Green

Program was fine. Went to re-certify in WI and was told my hours are not up to WI standards. When I took this course I was told multiple times that "Bethel House will be accepted anywhere throughout the states as they require the highest amount of hours in training." Well, this is untrue and I spent a good amount of money on this course to have to spend it AGAIN to gain the hours necessary. So if you stay in KS, great. But when you ask specifically, multiple times if this would be accepted in WI and are told it will be accepted anywhere in the US – that's false advertising and I would have never taken the course in the first place if I knew the truth.Christine Liebergen

This is a great place to learn. My instructor Shonda was the best, never leaving students behind, giving great advice, tips and stories of her own experiences, and encouraging us along the way. I had a ball here, meant some great individuals, and learned a ton. I highly recommend checking Bethel House out if you are looking to get your cna or cma.Beautiful_Ayanna

Got my high school diploma completing the 5 test for 125$ total. It's an actual diploma! You get the option after passing the test to walk on stage with East high during graduation. I quit going to school after I failed 9th grade lol. Dropped out with .5 credit. Only credit from P.E. 😅 if I can do it, so can you.BooN zZz

It is very cheap for what you're getting, I would recommend you get the book if you take the classes, And the teachers went above and beyond they really want to see you succeed! Thanks Ms. Kate & Mr. Williams!Rick Boyd

They are amazing when it comes to adult education! I have witnessed them help multiple people meet their career goals who would have otherwise been left behind in the ever changing world of work.Angie Marlett

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

The WSU dental school has been a blessing to me in the past. I needed a "deep clean" on my teeth a few years ago, and it cost me all of $35. I'm a senior on Medicare so that means no dental coverage, and three different dentists, including my regular dentist, gave me quotes of $1200-$1500. Aside from the big savings, the technician was a friendly young lady who was very knowledgeable about her work. I had to go in 3 times, I believe, for the complete treatment, and everyone from students to office personnel were always very nice. Yes, they do have "real" dentists on site to watch, grade, and assist if needed. Local dentists volunteer, if I remember correctly, to assist with the school. I was scheduled to go back for a cleaning just as the covid virus outbreak caused them to shut down. I will be going back to this school as soon as school opens up again, probably in the fall.Pamela Smith

Great place to go for basic dental cleaning & care. If you don't mind spending a few hours having your teeth x-rayed, gums examined, and teeth cleaned it's a great exchange for your time. Very economical, usually less than $40 for all services combined.Jack Liberty

I got a wisdom tooth extraction done here and they were very nice, quick, and helped me save money! The extraction didn't take long at all and it's been a few days since and I have had very little soreness in the area! I highly recommend WSU dental.Susan Le

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

This is a DO school which started in 2022. Their teaching philosophy is innovative with focus on group learning. Unlike other medical schools the exams are pass/fail with pass being >80% with chance to retake exams 3 times. Such learning focused approach reduces stress for an already challenging curriculum. Other than that, the medical school itself has 2 adjoining buildings which are connected to a parking lot through a skywalk. Every faculty and student has a parking space. When I visited in August 2022, the front main entrance was still under construction and was supposed to be completed in 6 months. Once completed it will have a nice park.Pallav Ranjan
