20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Austin, TX (2022 Updated)

So I literally haven’t even started my for spring semester & I am DREADING going here. Almost everyone but TWO people have been extremely rude to me over the phone and I’ve gotten hung up on multiple times. I wish I would have read the reviews of this school before applying. I will be actively looking for a new school to be apart of this semester. I’m hoping my professors make up for the horrible office staff. I will happily take my money elsewhere where they appreciate students. Very disappointed.. I was hoping to stay with this school to finish out my dental hygienists dreams but now I’m running the other way because of the office staff alone. Plus it makes me nervous that these reviews have been on here for months & there’s been know change obviously.Avery Emrich

A great college experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a more one on one experience. The classes are a lot smaller, so it's easier to get help if you need it. The instructors are always willing to work with you, and there are no student loans. Also, all the people complaining about the offices "not doing their jobs" are the ones who, most likely, are used to being handed everything. You are responsible for your paperwork. No one is going to call you and beg you to turn your stuff in. Be an adult.Kayla Cowart

I'm loving the service from the school n I greatly appreciate the opportunity to persue a Auto Collision diploma. The Auto Collision Classes are great. Mr. ANDERSON is a great teacher n actually wanna see us do big things in life..Thank You guys for being that breath of fresh air for the start to a new beginning. Keep being Great.Monkey Mech

I love the professors. Temple College is lucky to have professors that have doctorate degrees to teach. As a students, we are lucky to pay a junior college price for access to PhD 's. Those are the professors I choose from when given the opportunity in my degree plan. The business management of the junior college could use some training in customer service and fully understand the job they do. I have learned to always have my military files with me since the files have a tendency to be lost every other semester. I never knew that I earned the President's List or the Vice President's List awards until they announced it at my graduation. Student life is hampered by lack of support from staff and lack of student interest. I hope that this college will continue to grow, take on a supportive/student oriented attitude, and attract the quality professors and staff the college needs to grow. I look forward to my tax dollars at work showing improvement and multiplying to better serve the community.Jane Smith

I loved this college. I met a lot of really great people while here, but more importantly I felt the teachers were fair and prepared me to go to University. Also if you are not part of TRIO you should go there. I spent a lot of time there and met really good people like Debbi Owens, Tina Marsh and Cecilia. I would do my homework there and receive help and tutoring. It is a wonderful thing for the College to allow students to access programs like these and I am hoping that more people can create programs like these. I received my Associate's Degree here and racked up a lot of transfer credit. I would come back and do it all over again if I had the chance. Great SchoolRay Beecham

I was in their nursing program and I passed all the exams with mid Bs. My clinical instructor made up many violations and forced me to accept them. She further used those violations to give me very low grade (25 out of 91) on my midterm evaluation despite the fact that I was never late for clinical and I handed in all my paperwork on time. It is obviously discrimination. I had to withdraw from the course because you can not fight discrimination with hard-work. I will give it a minus star if I can.Chun-Wei Lin

I will be completely honest. I did some PSEO courses here and thought it was a nice campus. There is some struggles and problems with the school, but nothing to make this not a choice for a college. Teachers are nice, most of the students are fine and just do there own thing, there is a couple of clubs and activities, and the class sizes see to be reasonable (smaller than JMHS). I think it is a good campus and should be considered an opinion and not thrown to the curb when looking for local colleges.Burner Account

What a joke… My wages are currently being levied for a semester I did not even get to attend! The Financial Aid/Counselor I worked with helped me sign up for all the classes needed for that semester but did not inform me that I had no available financial aid. By the time, I discovered this (3 weeks into class) it was too late to withdraw without paying full price. I called multiple people at the school but all refused to help or did not know how to help. Terrible practices.Nicholas Inman

Though some teachers care quite a bit the majority could care less about you and more about there personal life. Scared to walk around without being robbed. Worst school I have ever been too. Curriculum is nothing short of a disappointment. And to request help from anyone you might as well be strung up and laughed at in the main entry.Samantha Erickson

Overall this is an amazing school. All the staff members are always there for you and they always strive to go above and beyond the call of duty. The school in general is a fun environment to actively retain and learn all the necessary aspects of the type of trade you are trying to obtain. I wish all higher learning schools would be like this school. The Instructors are so knowledgeable and so patient with every student on the right teaching method so everyone can feel like they are learning. I have never felt so accepted at a place even though I had no knowledge what so ever of the materials being taught. They hire only the best and retain these great staff members. The curriculum is on pace with all other schools and probably rivals them as well. I am so appreciative of the amount of caring for every student gets the right type of education at the school. The only thing that I might say they could do better is that because of Covid and some other arising issues is that sometimes the class had to do some maintenance work around the school that was not planned in the curriculum and we really did not learn on those kind of days. We did not mind it much and always did help out, but felt like we had no choice. This is not a complaint, but an opportunity for the school to address the issue. Maybe they could implement this into the curriculum and let students know that there may be some days like this that may arise, so that all students are aware issues like this may arise. I am really sad to leave, but know that I am prepared for what lies ahead in my future. Thanks again to all the Staff, Instructors, and last but not least The Owner of the School. I can see why they got a Seal of Approval from the White House.Amir Mahboubi

I must say that the moment I spoke to Shawn Jamali over the phone in March of 2014, my life changed. He motivated me to come on in to show me what Austin Career Institute could do for my life. The training was awesome. The staff and also the things that the work force offered as well. The tools and the laptop gave us the ability to learn and graduate. The first class that he instructed and we are awesome. I jumped into remote command HVAC where I controlled units throughout different cities from a command center. I moved on from there using my Austin Career Institute's knowledge to land a job in the Artificial Intelligence Robotics field to drive and program self driving autonomous cars. I traveled the United States promoting the self driving technology while also performing trouble shooting and wiring techniques that I learned in school. I am continuing my journey in robotics as a technician with self driving forklifts. My journey has been amazing. I owe a huge thank you to Shawn and his amazing team. I'm forever grateful. Thanks.Larry Campbell Jr.

After a change in careers, I had an opportunity through the Texas Workforce Commission . I was asked to review several schools before making a decision on where I would take the HVAC. I met with the Administrator, who was very down to earth and was able to explain the value of coming to school here ACI, I received tools to start me with off in the trade. The instruction is great for a majority, if not all, styles of learning.A BIG plus for me is the hands on training that we are receiving when it comes to learning the different concepts that we are going through. The additional benefits include the teacher very professional help me create my resume and job searches…In 2 more weeks I will be graduate at school and today I got a company hiring me as HVAC Tech, I so happy… Thanks Mr Shawn. I would highly recommend this school for those who want an opportunity for a new career.Tony Phan

Dr.George was the best instructor ive ever had LET ME TELL YOU! i have never enjoyed school and never made above a B plus but after taking my first module with him i past all my first 3 classes with a perfect score of 100. His teaching style is amazing, he makes you feel like youre not alone, and he loves when u ask questions so if you're like me and hate asking questions he makes it so much easier its awesome. I really hope i run into you again one day because you were the absolute BEST instructor a student could ask for. Love You! -Hailey <3Hailey Wilke

My career service advisor was great! Ms. Alexandria Vela helped me tremendously on my job search. She was one of the people from the campus who have always been very helpful. She has always been very attentive with me and always checked in, during and after my externship, and now that I'm hired she has continued to check in. She helped me apply for jobs and even walk me through interview questions. Eventually I did get hired and I cant thank her enough!estefania castillo

May I express, I was worried about joining this institution, I hadn’t been in school for a while but when I first visited everybody made me feel so welcome with a constant smile on their face, I felt encouraged and wanting to be in class. Dr. Navarro is very knowledgeable and she sure makes sure we’re updated with our work. I really recommend for you to visit CHCP institution, don’t just take my word for what I just experienced.Browneyes

This review is for the breast cancer patients researching reconstruction options and a shout out of gratitude to the whole team at APRS. I never pictured myself talking to a plastic surgeon about a major re-org in my early forties, fifties, really ever. When I learned this year that a unilateral mastectomy would be necessary to keep the me-machine running longer, it was no minor mental circus that led me to decide that a bilateral mastectomy and some form of breast reconstruction would be the best step forward from the shock and trauma presented by a cancer diagnosis. I’m now three months post-DMX, DIEP flap surgery and feeling like a challenge that eclipsed my family’s year (what pandemic?) is well on its way to the rearview. In the darker days of researching my diagnosis, I met with two incredible plastic surgeons in Austin. I left the first surgeon’s office just relieved to have found an excellent surgeon in my own city. By contrast, I left Dr. Fisher’s office genuinely excited and hopeful for the results and my future, two feelings that had been in very short supply since my diagnosis. What Dr. Fisher’s practice offers, in addition to a legendary surgeon, is an equally wonderful support staff (thank you Rebecca) and comfortable office environment. In the haze of impersonal blood draws, gloomy oncologist reports, and clucking MRI tubes, it makes a HUGE difference to actually look forward to visiting a doctor’s office. Women run her world and many of them are breast cancer survivors. I didn’t think this would matter, but for me, it really did. I had some initial vanity-angst about pursuing reconstruction post DMX, but in her office, I quickly felt like I was in the right place, surrounded by bright, thriving, post-cancer women who’d run the gauntlet themselves. Dr. Fisher has a beyond-full professional schedule and personal life. While my first surgeon’s interview felt clipped and clinical, Dr. F invested 2 open-ended hours answering my questions. I realize this visit was just another day at the office in her everyday hero/surgeon’s life, but it was a moment that held a lot of gravity for me and my family. What clinched the decision for me was how she asked to review my body. An hour into meeting her, she sat down next to me in front of a wall mirror, with our backs to the rest of the room (hubs and PA included) while she asked me what I wanted to see. By contrast, the earlier, equally as technically sound surgeon I met with had me stand and completely uncover, facing the small crowd under fluorescent lights while he made recommendations in Sharpie for my procedure, about 10 minutes into our meeting. My husband also super appreciated the process of care and discretion Dr. F went through. These little humanizing touches and deep emotional intelligence added up to an enormous level of trust in her practice and EXCITEMENT about the direction we were going. And, as astonished as I was by my routine yearly mammogram, I am now equally impressed by the surgical results. Just a few short months later, I’m feeling like myself again. I no longer want to take off my own body. What a gift. Thank you, SusanSusan Grantham

If you value making choices regarding your body and personal healthcare, Dr. Christine Fisher's office is not for you. Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery do not value patient's health outcome and quality of life. This office will cause you to endure lifelong complications, deformities, loss of income, and elevated healthcare costs. I was pressured and coerced into an unnecessary lymph node removal, radioactive material, and sentinel dissection after repeatedly declining in person, by phone, and email – resulting in infection, complications, additional medical bills, etc. by Austin PRS (Dr. Christine Fisher) and Texas Breast Specialists (Dr. Caroline Coombs-Skiles). Even though providers like Austin PRS (Dr. Christine Fisher) and Texas Breast Specialist (Dr. Caroline Coombs-Skiles) may believe a patient's decision is incorrect and unreasonable, they cannot place pressure on competent patients to accept their advice. I was forced into signing an additional (revised) informed consent to remove healthy lymph nodes after being administered medication at St. David's. I was robbed of the ethical principles, including patient autonomy. Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery does not respect the fact that patients may decline unwanted medical treatment, procedures, and surgeries at any time for any reason. Healthcare providers may not unethically coerce or force patients into treatment, like Austin PRS (Dr. Christine Fisher) and Texas Breast Specialists (Dr. Caroline Coombs-Skiles) have. Austin PRS (Dr. Christine Fisher) and Texas Breast Specialists (Dr. Caroline Coombs-Skiles) and their staff require training on ethical principles, as they have failed to preserve patients' right to make choices regarding their body.Marian Hanna

In 2021, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and it was quite a whirlwind of appointments and information thrown at me; I was terrified. However, when I first met with Dr. Fisher, she immediately calmed my fears, spoke to me like a woman, wife, and mother – not just as a patient. She spent so much time at my initial appointment answering all of my questions clearly and on a level I could understand, I knew she was going to be my reconstructive surgeon. My husband and I left that first appointment feeling confident and impressed by Dr. Fisher. I've now had 3 surgeries with Dr. Fisher and her incredible team and I could not be more pleased with the results. Not only do I still feel like a woman, I now have a lovely team of doctors and nurses I can literally call any hour of the day and get a response. Dr. Fisher was always sharing her thoughts on my reconstruction surgeries and how to make it a success; she would even call my cell phone to discuss her thoughts – she is an outstanding human! Further, it goes beyond Dr. Fisher – her entire staff is SO caring, concerned and brilliant. This was a situation I never wanted to be in, but now on the other side, I am so grateful to know Dr. Fisher and her staff! Her Medical Center is clean, beautiful and doesn't give you the anxieties that typical hospitals can make you feel. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Kelti Late

I’m in Mrs. Emily’s, CMA (certified Medical Assistant) morning class from 9am-1pm. I’m currently one of the ambassadors for my CMA program and I have met many interesting people while representing my class. I started the class on January 6th of 2022. I currently reside in killeen/Harker Heights, TX., area. I choose to attend the Austin area Cybertex after visiting the reviews online and the school. I learned that the teacher for the Austin location was also the director of the school, this let me know that she had a vested interest in her students success and I was correct. Mrs. Emily is beyond helpful and interested in her “babies “ students learning and understanding each subject matter. I drive and hour and 20 minutes to get to class and haven’t missed a day as of yet because of the encouragement of Mrs. Emily and the subject matters interest me and I don’t want to miss anything. I could have chosen to go to a number of other CMA that were closer to home but I drive here because of Mrs. Emily and her teaching style. If you are looking to get your foot into healthcare or trying to get a leg up on getting into a competitive nursing school program, like I am, this is an awesome place to start and an amazing instructor to learn from. Thank you Mrs. Emily.First Lady

Making the choice to attend CyberTex has been one of the best decisions I have made. From day one, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and ensured that any concerns I had were addressed and I truly felt I was in good hands and not just a number like at other institutions. The instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. They truly take the time to make new students feel like an asset to the school. Specifically Mrs. Emily, the director and day-time instructor for the CCMA program makes the learning process engaging for students with all levels of medical background. She always goes above and beyond to ensure that the content used in class is relevant and does not shy away from making necessary correlations between the curriculum and real life applications. Her extensive experience and enthusiasm for the field is ever-apparent and makes for a truly refreshing learning experience that every classroom should aim to mimic. The work she assigns is of a level that effectively reinforces the material covered in class but also allows for students to maintain a good amount of time for life outside of school. I am thankful that she tailors the course to not only the end of course certification tests, but also to the limits of what we as students are wanting to learn.Kameron Hill

If you are contemplating on attending CyberTex for the Medical Assistant (MA) Program, just do it! Mrs. Emily Winston, Director of the MA Program and the instructor of the day class. Mr. Bell is the instructor of the night class. These two instructors are not only awesome, but make an awesome team. They compliment each other as teaching partners as they both teach in their own different ways, but yet, have the same purpose….helping and teaching their students. Classes are packed full of the Body Systems and much much more that will get you ready for the CCMA Certification. I am in the day class with Mrs. Winston and the way she teaches for a slow , old timer (like me) is perfect!!! I didn't go to college as school wasn't for me. Although, since being in Mrs. Winston's class, I am at 100% with my grades which is absolutely amazing and all thanks to her and her teaching style. If I can do it, anyone can. Our class is a fun bunch. Add Mr. Bell from the night class into our day mix and man oh man….we are rockin'. Labs are hands on. We practice injections and drawing blood on each other, the real deal. Come join the MA Program, you won't regret it!!!!!!!Elaine Vinklarek

I’ve been using EWC for years now and have only ever wanted to come to the Lamar location! I love all of their girls here and feel so safe being serviced here! My favorite of all the specialists I’ve had the pleasure of being waxed by has to be Dela! She’s talkative (in a good way) and tries to keep the mood light and you comfortable! She has even expressed a more concerned and caring side that she uses with clients coming in that are uncomfortable or don’t usually enjoy their wax experience. By far the best customer service I’ve had and always a fun time with Dela. The receptionists are so accommodating as well! Just an all around great experience at EWC every time.Mackenzie Cords

I have been seeing Dela at EWC for over a year now and she is fantastic. I'm happy after every wax and she does everything she can to make experience quick yet feel like you're catching up with a friend. Definitely recommend Dela and will be going back regularly even though I have moved farther away from this location. Services:   Bikini waxing ,  WaxingTaylor See

I came from out of town and was scheduled with Dela. I felt a bit out of my comfort zone because it wasn’t my EWC, but she did such a great job with distracting me and talking to keep my mind off the pain. She was also great with explaining the process, giving me tips, and very thorough as well. ❤️ Service:   Brazilian waxingAshley

After a life-changing diagnosis of hair loss, I started researching the internet to find hair loss support. I was at one of the lowest points in my life, and I found Shanna at Shanna Moll Studios! Life-changer! Shanna made me feel like a million bucks before she even helped me with hair. The magic she can work through a virtual appt and being spot on with what looks best on you with the density, color, texture, etc. of what looks best on you in regards to hair, is just an incredible match! I knew I found my “place”, as I was navigating through this hard journey! Shanna was amazing at providing me with the assistance I needed to look and feel like myself again. She is top notch, and made the whole process easy and fun! Thank you Shanna, and most of all I have made a wonderful life-long friend. A special shout out to Jeni too! She is Shanna’s amazing assistant and together, an amazing team! Oh, and I LOVE my hair!! QUALITY human hair and just perfect! I feel BEAUTIFUL again! 💜Ellen Yurkon

I started my trichilogy treatments at Refined Hair in February of 2022 and I’m so glad I did! I had experienced some significant hair thinning due to several factors and since then, I’ve made great progress with the help of the wonderful staff and treatments at Refined Hair. They specialize in scalp health, which is definitely extremely underrated in today’s society, hopefully that changes soon! And unlike countless dermatologists, they don’t push Rogaine, a drug with side effects that you need to use indefinitely on you. They use tested, scientific methods to get your scalp balanced and healthy again. I just got to the “Maintenance” treatments and I couldn’t be happier! So glad I found a great salon for all my thin/fine haircare needs!Crista O

I had a really great experience. Going into a hair replacement store for the first time can be very intimidating and nerve wracking. You are showing your vulnerable side to complete strangers and discussing a really sensitive subject. Shanna and Jenny were so warm and down to earth that my nervousness didn’t last too long. With Shanna’s expertise, we came up with a solution that worked for me and also didn’t break the bank. I would definitely recommend their services and am so happy I found them!!Sharon Bradford

I had a procedure with Dr. Victor and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. His bed-side manner is amazing, very kind and so thorough, making sure you have all the info, even explaining exactly what would happen during surgery and taking the time to answer all questions. His office staff is great as well and the scheduling and payment processes were easy. My surgery went very well and following the procedure, had no bruising and very manageable pain. Dr. Victor is excellent!Krystal Mullins

Staff was very friendly, professional and thorough. Dr. Abikhaled explained what procedure he plans to take and walked me through every step involved, even drew me a sketch of what will be done and answered all of my questions. He was very confident. I feel safe with him as my surgeon for a procedure coming up. Zelma D. was also very nice, thorough and professional. I believe I’m in good hands. I would recommend this staff of medical professionals to my best friend.Pam Marquardt

Dr Mark Lindsey is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a general surgeon. I felt that I was treated professionally and kindly. In addition, unlike many medical offices I have visited these past several years, his support staff is friendly and helpful. Such a welcome surprise! My surgery went smoothly, and I am well on my path to healing. Rest assured that you are in good hands with Dr Lindsey.Monique Brannon

Katie, Sherry, and Chloe all greeted me when I entered the store. All three rotated between customers to see if we needed help of any kind. They were all very knowledgeable about their brands and the construction/fabric used in the different brands. They all seem to enjoy their jobs immensely. They went above and beyond to help me find scrubs that fit. And I’m a very hard fit… Lol. I highly recommend them for all of your scrub needs! I almost forgot, they also have stylish watches in stock that are nickel free and latex free, and being severely allergic to both, I’m very grateful that they stock these.M S

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Sherry who made me feel welcome and at ease. Sherry was quick to assist with brand locations and identifying petite sizes. Katie rang me up with no issues. Finding a magical pair of scrub pants that fits all the curves is a task in itself. I found one that that fit perfectly, but only one pair was in stock. Katie suggested that she could call me when more are in stock. I really appreciated the overall efficiency and 10/10 service.Alli Fierce

i absolutely LOVE shopping for my scrubs here! the individuals who work there genuinely care about their customers and are such amazing people! there is such an amazing variety of scrubs and colors and everything in between! i highly recommend Scrubs & Beyond to anyone looking for good quality scrubs and great service! Sherry and Katie have always been good to me when i come in and i look forward to seeing them every time i visit !!Makenzi Pryor

Have been going to this location for 6+ years. I loved the friendly staff and environment provided by Dr. Chad. Since changing hands from Family Tree Dental, a family run office to the corporate Great Expressions, my experience and enjoyment have gone downhill. I used to not mind going and chatting with the staff, but now I'm lucky if they correctly pull up my file and information. Last visit was a cleaning and x-ray visit. When I made the appointment 6 months prior, it was set for 3:40p. Upon arrival they didn't have me scheduled on the calendar until 4p, and had a different patient with my same name slotted for the time. I did not leave the office until 5:40p. A cleaning should not take 2 hours of my time. Very unhappy. Will be looking into a different dental office for future visits.Sara Hyzy

Avoid avoid avoid. I come here because my family dentist doesn't accept my dental insurance. I was told I have four cavities. I was suspicious so I went to my family dentist for a second opinion. He said he would not consider any of those to be cavities. About a year and a half later I was having some tooth pain so I went to a different dentist to fill what I had been told was a cavity according to my Great Expressions 'treatment plan.' The dentist said that the tooth (upper right molar) had absolutely no signs of being a cavity and that she would not fill it. She said it was more likely wisdom tooth or sinus pain. Like others have said it's just a corporate chain trying to drive that profit margin.Cheryl W.

I was looking for a dentist who was trustworthy, professional and friendly during this Covid time. I found Great Expressions through my insurance after a dental emergency. I called and got in the same day. All procedures were followed, registering and Set up to be seen by Dr. Garbi. Ex rays were taken, and a temporary fix was done. She told me what I needed upon return. I returned for 2 procedures in same day. Dr. Garbi explained everything and it was painless. I loved her professional manor and felt safe and confident. The result was a perfect,; the assistants were great and I have a happy confident smile. I will be back. I recommend Dr Garbi and her team. JenniferJennifer Reeves

The difference in the Heart Hospital from 2006 to 2022 for us was horrible this time. Starting with the “hall monitor” for the waiting room! She was not even nice about anything. She was accusatory with her looks when wanting to know if three people were all together! Already being stressed for my husband having an 8 hour open heart surgery then to have to deal with HER!! (I was going to give her attitude, but we all knew she already had a BAD one of her own). Man if we need same surgery done ever again we will take Seton over Heart Hospital any day of the week !!! Nurses in ICU and 2 nurses on room floors were great the others need some maturity and bedside manner taught to them. The alarms going off in rooms with NO monitoring them or silencing them was unbelievable! Believe me, we as patients do not want to be there anymore than they want to tend to the patients but hours upon hours of listening to the system monitor alarms is enough to give any patient additional heart issues and stress. No wonder heart rates get up to 157!!! Dr orders a new IV site to get heart rate down STAT and 3 hours later I have to demand something gets done now should not be their new normal. It is a shame patients need to have family stay with them 24/7 while inpatient because they cannot get help from nursing staff. If there is a hiring issue then find a way to get patients taken care of or close your doors as a hospital! Heart hospital needs to go back to the days of 2006 (A grade)and learn all they were doing right, because 17 years later they would get at least a Failing grade from this patient.Janet king

My ER visit to the heart hospital was great. I felt safe and cared for at a moment I was very worried about my well being. Highly professional. The follow up however was chaotic and seemed to miss the primary goal of continuity of care. None of my doctors received ANY medical records of any kind. Amazing since I signed at least 10 different forms or screens while I was there. They did manage to get my phone number and kept texting me to pursue follow up care. However, after a week since my ER visit and my repeatedly asking for them to send the information to my Primary care and the cardiologist that they referred me to, I am going to have to drive over to the heart hospital to get my record to take to my appointment. My Primary will not get the information in time to make a request of my HMO which means that I will have to pay out of pocket. So for all the automation generated by my signatures, the heart hospital could not simply fax this information upon my discharge even though they had all the information they needed to do so. I am writing this because my attempts to explain this to the staff today was met with justification of their systems and procedures. A step back and look with the goal of those procedures with aid to patient careTheodore Carlos

Efficient, professional, cheerful, friendly, kind and caring care = excellency in every second of my experience at Austin Heart Hospital. I recently had a Right Heart Catheterization and my nurse, Carolyn, was awesome; as well as the other nurses and staff that were helping…including the young man that came to my room to do an ECHO ultrasound…were awesome, too! An Outstanding experience! I've been to Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN four times and my experience at Austin Heart Hospital far exceeds my excellent Mayo Clinic experience…so that means Austin Heart Hospital is truly outstanding! We are blessed to have this kind of care in Austin!Claudia Miller

If you are looking for an office that returns phone calls or provides great patient care I would look elsewhere. My husband scheduled his surgery 2 months in advance. I called multiple times and left messages to go over Financials and we finally received a text message about our portion due on Friday at 5:00 pm 3 days before his surgery. With multiple calls and emails I never received a call back. We were told services must be paid in full at the time of check in. Since my husband needed surgery of course I paid in full however a call back would have been appreciated. Nothing. Now a day after the surgery we have tried and tried to get in touch with the doctor to get his pain under control and again multiple calls to the office beginning at 9 am it's almost 5 and still can't get a call back. One would think after major surgery the doctor or someone from the office would call to check on their patient and we have not received anything. The surgeon himself was great it's great however this office is not very patient friendly. We did receive a text however that they canceled his post stop appointment and no call to reschedule. Again if you're looking for an amazing patient experience this place is notStephanie Maldonado

This is the best pain Dr. we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Our previous clinic was an uncaring machine designed to get you to get injections, however Advanced Pain, is the exact opposite. They will go over whatever treatments they think may work, and won't push you into them. They will also prescribe medications if needed, and are very sensible about that. Dr. Breen, is very friendly and accommodating, and always gives good advice. I highly recommend them if you are in pain. The only pain clinic in Austin worth visiting.Todd Walker

I have never been treated better by everyone in the entire office here in TX. then these guys here. I moved here from WA. St where health care is very good. Then moved to San Antonio where health care is not so good. Then moved here in Austin and found Advanced Pain Care where they are the very best and I recommend this wonderful place to anyone and everyone who needs what they assist with. Really great people you can tell right from the start. Thank you Advanced Pain Care for all you all do…Lana Bonilla

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Jobe and his staff. His medical assistant and surgery scheduler are on top of your care. His medical assistant always has a smile on her face and genuinely cares about her patients. They have gotten my surgery approved through insurance and scheduled within a timely manner. I recently had surgery on my right hand and arm and I have had absolutely zero pain, numbness or tingling since my surgery. Dr. Jobe is an expert in my opinion on knowing just what to do and how to correct the problem. He has an excellent bedside manner. He understands and listens to what I as a patient have been experiencing. Thank you Dr. Jobe for caring! Erin StorerRaegan McCoy

Didn't get an exact answer on where my hand is broken. Told to come back in a week, called and played a game of this call is for appointments, no she needs the medical team, no send her to the nurse… Got tired and had my insurance make the appointment. When I left I was given a brace. Not how to use it, not how to put it on, nothing. In fact I had to ask the guy if there were any instructions or advise and he told me no. Lol. I took the box it came in and read them myself. It's been three weeks now and it in hurts worse than ever. I looked up the brace online and I have been wearing it wrong. SmhMitzi Shaw

What an amazing experience. Dr. Jobe and his staff were beyond professional and very attentive. Great bedside manner and overall, they care and are concerned with your best interests going forward. No pressure into surgery or anything of the sort. Everything was thoroughly explained and discussed. Great communication throughout. Only drawback, hold time on the phone to speak to someone or get a call back is kind of crazy. But overall, hands down, the best surgical experience I’ve had and I’ve had several.Michael Forman

The over all experience at Southern Careers Institute, Austin Campus was a huge change in Dynamic, Routine, and overall educational experience. While the Directors do their very best to assist all students in achieving their long term goals to attain a whole career, they make sure that they have the time to be human as well and go above and beyond to make sure that the students are at their best mindset. This past year that I have spent with them feels more like 10 years of experience with so many different students that I met, nurtured and felt the experience of seeing them graduate. My over all personal experience is one that I will never regret and over all feel that this is a home for those who love to help others, to the point where there are no options left to exhaust in order to make sure the student climbs another step in their life choices. SCI does care, they have a heart and will do anything to make sure that those who are looking for a chance or opportunity to better themselves no matter the past have it here. I want to thank all of those who have helped me and supported me through my role as an admissions rep for a year. I also want to thank my students who made me feel a whole person as I saw them grow and change into new people who have the hope, excitement, and drive to do their best. Once again. Thank you SCI, for the opportunity and great experience you have provided! Over and out- VL Admissions Rep. PS. To my students, Keep hitting it hard. Your experience will flourish as soon as you hit that first job! Don't ever give up, and don't look back at the past. "Arriba y Adelante"- VL's GrandmotherVito Lozano

In my experience with this School, I Do Not Recommend. If wasn’t for the instructor Rodrigo, which is a great guy and CDL instructor, I would leave the school on my first day, and I wanted to, he was the one that convinced me to stay. The administration made me fell that they care about you only until they get your money, after that there is no follow up. They advertised that you can get ready in 4 weeks. Absolutely NOT TRUE. I asked in person 4 times , and they told me Yes, it can be done most likely in 6 weeks, I believed and enrolled myself, but took more than 2 months. That’s because after they take my money , they said they have too many students and the schedule is full . And it doesn’t matter if you have a life outside the school ( which everyone has) and tell them that you can’t make in certain hour of the day, they still make the schedule as you are there just to do what they tell you to do. And they schedule you in the worse DPS to be tested , just because to call and schedule in a better one is to much work. That is my experience with the school. People that I’ve meet throughout the course are also unhappy. But if you don’t have any experience with trucks, have the time and pacience to be there 2 months at least, the instructor Rodrigo is the right guy. He makes you calm and confident about driving that huge truck.Elson De Oliveira

I'm not one to normally post negative reviews, however this needs to be put out there. I have not attended this institution, this is solely based off of the experience I have received after accepting one call. I made a grave mistake of agreeing to hearing this institution out on trying to get me to apply and attend. This was back in July/ early August. I heard out their entire spiel over what they offer, and after I told the recruiter I did not have the money to attend (nor would I in the near future) they began their consistent harassment. They have been constantly calling me from different numbers after I had blocked the initial number because the recruiter began calling me back to back to back after I declined her calls while I was at work, I now receive constant emails from DIFFERENT email addresses even after I unsubscribed from all emails and reported as spam. They are still reaching out to me to this day through text and new phone numbers. From what I have experienced based off of this is that this place just wants your money.Aden Russell

Wow! Wish Oklahoma had a H.E.B. or as we was miscalling it heb lol. Very clean grocery store with wonderful and helpful staff. This location has everything you need from a flower shop, groceries, sushi, deli & fresh meat section, many healthy items to choose from, wines & beers, outside decor and plants, kitchenware. Definitely a good place to get your necessities.Koda Devildog

Everything you could ever want in an HEB Plus! Super nice crew and a fantastic assortment of grocery items including a wide variety of ethnic foods. Mexican street tacos, lobster rolls, shrimp ceviche made in house. Very large variety of wines, flowers and party trays ready for festivities. This place is HUGE + BUSY especially back to school items.Elva L. Arista

One of the best HEB in the area! People who works there is amazing! In particular, thanks so mucho to the people who worked yesterday night, I forgot my wallet in the restrooms and someone (my angel) returned it to the office! The world needs more people like you! THANK YOU SO MUCH!Ivette Galán

From my past experience and working at DeVry University at Austin Campus, The atmosphere is always welcoming. Student who needs any help for the tuition contact the DeVry people and they will set you up with the professor for that course and they will also follow-up how the classes are going. Student just have follow three rule: 1) Post the discussion on the course shell, 2) submit the assessment on time and 3) let your professor know if you have any trouble in courses. Let the DeVry People know if you have trouble, they will always lend the hand. I consider DeVry University as my second family. I will miss them them after I graduate. All the advisory at DeVry University In Austin will certainly help you regarding selecting the course that will best suitable for you so that you wouldn't have any trouble in that courses.Pinkal Patel

Fantastic! I've been attending DeVry for just over 2 1/2 years and will graduate with my bachelor degree this Summer! I have also worked on campus as a student worker and love that as well. The faculty cares about their students and try their best to help students succeed. The staff also care about the students, as I mentioned, I have worked as a student worker with the staff, and from that I have been able to see who they really are. They truly care about the students and genuinely want each student to succeed. They are all very helpful and their main goal is not meeting quotas, but rather seeing every one of the students reach their educational goals. Fantastic University!Charlene Lewis

Devry University has been one of the best schools I have attended and proud to say I will graduate in 2019. In my experience what makes Devry and an excellent University is the staff . As many students know, it can be a big challenge registering, tutoring and most important finding a great advisor that helps you transition to Devry University. My advisors Melissa Callaway from Austin tx and Melissa Hickock from San Antonio tx have been a great help for me. These women helped me tremendously and I want them to know I am so greatful for their help…Thanks, Sylvia KennonS Kenn

I had a very beautiful journey with Austin Medical Assistant School. I was looking for the place where I could put my baby step on towards getting education in USA, and they happily guided me throughout the procedure. Not belonging from here and very new in the country itself I was so worried about the acceptance but I am thankful to my instructors Ashley, Clarence and Ana how they always made me feel included. This is my official first school in USA and will always be in my heart. To talk about the actual academic it is the best you can have because the way they guide their students throughout is phenomenal. Classes are super fun with lots and lots of hands on lab work and of course is affordable too.Samjhana Dhungel

Just graduated and I can say that all the reviews I read about this place were true. There’s a reason why they have such a great reputation! It was very exciting going to class every Saturday specially on lab days! 🙂 The instructors were amazing, instructor Angi always had some fun stories to share while teaching and Instructor Ashley always made us laugh some way, they were both always available when needed. You could email them anytime and know that they will answer your questions and help you with everything. Overall a great experience!Krisney Miliano

My experience at Austin Medical Assistant School Roundrock was by far one of the best experiences ive had in learning and in education. Over the course of 6 months Instructors Ashley, Clarence and Anna went above and beyond walking us through every step of the way from lectures to labs. And i am more then grateful that not only did they share there knowledge with us but also gave us feedback from beginning to end; making the class fun and interesting, thanks guys!!Iris Hernandez

Don't to hybrid courses. Stay online if you want to save some time and gas. Ms.Lopez, who teaches the final course for certification, doesn't consider a student's busy life. She keeps each assignment locked and open for less than 24 hours. Students are required to do an internship. My wife is a Dean list student with a 4.0 average. She works a 15-hour work day while I'm on active duty for the military. If the school requests more from a student, there needs to be better communication and understanding if needs academically aren't met. If a student has such a complex schedule while working a full-time job and internship, there should be an effort to keep classwork unlocked and available to the deadline. Ms.Lopez failed to understand what a hybrid course is. She would have to go to class to do online work. If most of the work is online, why not keep all assignments open so the student can work ahead to avoid incomplete tasks? It's very thought-provoking to think that if the course's work were open for the duration of the system, then most students would complete all the work early to account for sleep and other daily life activities. In my eyes, I don't see that as an issue. In my experience, it was encouraged to work ahead. I now have to pay for my wife to retake the course and pay another time. This feels like the school wants more money. I could take her transcript and take a class with a more memorable teacher in community college for way less or possibly free. It's crazy to think that I could save money by paying for my wife's certification test for a couple of hundred because the school will not reward her certification until the course is completed. Let us not forget that she paid for the cert in the tuition. Don't think the certification test is free cause it's not; you paid for it one way or another. She'd have to waste another month of our time and money to retake a course, not even to receive an actual degree.Zachry Correa

CHCP is GREAT! I loved being an LMRT student here! I love how the teachers are so involved in your education and want you to be successful! Miss Salazar was amazing and she always pushed all of her students to go above and beyond! Career Services is great! They were so involved in my grad out process and did everything to make sure I was set for success with finding a job and Ms. Nayak was so helpful and communicated with me on a daily basis! I love CHCP so much! I’m so glad I went through them and I can’t wait to further my education with them when I bridge for the (R) RT program! Thank you CHCP for everything!Samantha Velez

This place is absolutely amazing! All of the staff is very supportive from the very beginning. Vanessa at admissions helped me choose the best career for me and all my teachers were always flexible and made me believe in myself while doing skills. Nensi at career services always checked on me and made sure I had what I needed. Externship coordinator Mr. Clarence was always checking on me while I was on site and made sure I was on track with everything. Thank you to this amazing school for helping me have a career and now my mom is happy to say she has a college graduate!Maria Hernandez
