20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Long Beach, CA (2022 Updated)

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

Graduated here in 2018. Yes the school is not perfect. but it is affordable and offers all sorts of academic programs for students & for those who are interested in learning a new skill. A few issues with the homeless people who easily make their way in the school's restroom and leave all their mess inside. A bit more security is also needed because of the area surrounding the school, but overall it's a good community college. Looking back now, I miss every moment I got to spend here. Class of 2018 !Ricardo Perez

Hello the college is full of students that live in the street and city is trying to make new parking structures but people can't afford rent payments. The next subject I want to talk about is the LA City Clerks office is hiring in November hopefully the election makes it better for independent voters to work more and help the community. Business administration can make changes in your life when you need accounting done but what about mechanical gang activities who will fight against immigration?Miguel Gutierrez

I graduated spring 2022 and is the best experience in my life. 2014 to 2016 the services are bad. When they build the student services building 2017 They are improving till now and a lot of students go there to enroll very good service now than before. I recommend to all students to take this college is a good.reel Woo

Adventist Health Center is conducting a Vaccine center at The Glendale Community College in the parking structure at the top of the hill right off of the 2 Fwy Off the Mountain exit. The staff are very helpful. There is very clear and strict mandates on masks and health protocols. Please follow signage and bring your masks. You will need your ID for check in. The nurses are very helpful and many of them have worked in the ER with patients and have seen the effects of the pandemic. So most of them are very happy to administer the vaccine and help prevent the spread of this terrible disease. We are all so happy to share the change in the world and grow together. There is Hope and these are the people that are here to spread that hope. 3👍🏼’s out of 3👍🏼’s the staff and Nurses are very helpful and thoughtful.SEAN GONZALES

Theres an old Armenian blonde lady in Financial Aid office with glasses, shes honestly and honestly the rudest person ive ever seen in my entire life. I dont know what was going on in her life that moment but she did not help me whatsoever to give her drop off my fafsa documents about academic appeal that I received from the outstanding counselor here in GCC. The fafsa that lady referred me to find a random person to help me upload the documents into the website which she didnt even told me what website to upload to. She had the worst attitude ive ever seen. I felt so uncomfortable that moment that I didnt feel safe for being around herArmo ArmemianHumor_

Love this school, but parking isn't great when a new semester starts. They do have tons of it, just isn't enough. Covid changed the parking issues, now there is parking galore.Carolina Ramirez

From the eyes of a VA student FYI – if you plan not to give 100% of your academic responsibilities and not achieve a "satisfactory progress" to your program. DeVry and Keller Graduate School will stop enrollment certification due to not meeting the basic requirement. This is called SAP, "Satisfactory Academic Progress". Once you reach this academic status, it take about 6 -12 months to regain VA certification through the school. During this period, you will be ask on payment alternatives. Such alternatives using Federal Aid, Payment Plan or Private Loans. This only happens, if your GPA or program progression fails to meet the standard of the school. FYI – Provide your official transcripts always!!! If you don't provide your official transcripts by the 3rd semester – YOUR CERTIFICATION WILL BE CANCELED. Unofficial transcript do not count for VA requirements, to continue enrollment certification. FYI – If you receive a "withdrawal" or "fail" in any course at DeVry or Keller Graduate school. The VA will NOT certify you. Two actions can happen : You will receive a Debt Letter from the VA or your school certification will be updated and a balance will be place. FYI – Depending on your campus location. Not all courses are at the campus. You will be ask to balance onsite and online courses per session. If your course is not offered at the campus, you will be informed of other locations. Something to think about, concentration courses are mostly online, so make sure you plan your courses correctly. If you have to take 2 or 3 courses a session, it's to benefit your enrollment and graduate in time. Have a good day, DeVry StudentDEVRY STUDENT

Such a joke. I had more challenging classes in high school. When I went to get my M.Acc. degree I was told I had to take half of the classes over again because DeVry doesn't teach the courses properly. So, a 4.0 GPA from DeVry landed me with a year and a half of extra undergraduate work that I had to do before I could begin my master degree. No wonder half of the students in my class failed the CPA exam at least twice. I will give them this, though: their instructors are friendly, polite, and care; but, what do you really expect to get from an 8 week term? I had instructors literally work out problems from the textbook that were given as examples during class, instead of using a question from the exercises that was not for "homework." And let's not even talk about his method of doing the online board. He'd post twice a week: on Monday at 8am, and Sunday at 9pm.Diego B

DeVry a a whole is a great school for people wanting to get there education and still manage their busy lives. I don't recommend this as a college for those who are not self driven. It takes a lot of personal drive to do well, study and learn on your own and complete the tasks on time in a fast paced environment. Classes are 8 weeks, which goes much faster than expected, there is no room for procrastination. I love DeVry, it works well for me. I've managed to keep above a 3.9 my whole 1st year. The staff and professors are extremely helpful and there are endless free resources at your disposal.Rachel Krause

The school itself is very deceptive and nitpicks their students for arriving a few minutes late from a lunch or if you need to take a day off. Expect to be treated like a child and watched from their cameras. The school has no problem lying to students; our class went through hell trying to get the labs, site visits, the MRI simulator program they installed 2 weeks before our class was over they promised and we paid for. The recruiters will tell you about their "associate degree" but you try to hide that it’s an associate of applied science (AAS) degree which is a degree that takes 2 years but credits and not transferable and don’t count towards a bachelor’s degree. The administration staff is not on your side. Previous classes communicated to us how the school constantly drops the ball and they’ve been waiting 3 weeks for the school to pay the fee so they could take their ARMRIT tests and get their certification. Students who fall behind on their payments have been harassed despite paying what they could and being fully aware they can’t graduate without paying the balance. A teacher we had for a few months did not have a teaching skill set and was often rude and inappropriate to students that asked questions. The school had issues with this teacher in the past and had to re-teach all of physics to the previous MRI class as a result but the school brought him back not only for our class but again for the class that followed ours. We were amazed that after all we went through and the negative history they still brought him back. The school attempts to be fast paced and rush the studying but doesn’t supply good teachers, good books or good resources. The anatomy book for example is intended for massage therapists and physical therapists. At the time of our class there was only a single skeleton missing many pieces. There is no physical MRI simulator here, only a hospital bed and a construction laser line hanging from the roof (See Photo). You’re supposed to lay under it and have someone set up a scan by moving the bed. Our class was promised monthly site visits by the recruiters but only had two site visits. You'd think for the $2700 a month each student pays they could invest a little into the class room and curriculum. I have literally spent my personal time making presentations and tests for the class because that particular teacher was not computer literate. You start off in medical terminology with Caesar who is a great teacher and everything will seem well. After 2 or 3 months depending on if he teaches medicolegal they move you to a different teacher and the trouble will start. Eventually our class did get a good teacher but she quit on the last day of class tired of dealing with the schools BS. Complaints result in the teacher getting in the line of fire because they weren't able to handle it themselves or the school attempting to sweep it under the rug. One class for example had a known drug user who has passed out in class high but they allowed him to return, later in the week he was found overdosed in his car. This place is just one bad decision and one shortcut after another. I was personally shown the door because I had come to the school director with class-wide issues. The owner of the school David personally came to our class and basically told us it is what is and if you dont like it you can go. Which is easy for them to say because the MRI credits don't transfer to other schools so all your money, work and time goes to waste if you leave. If you try and file a formal complaint the owner David and his staff will hold a meeting which you are not permitted to record but Silvia the director will take notes on and leave out any pertinent information that makes the school look bad. If you have a class wide complaint, follow my advice and GO AS A CLASS. They are your judge and jury so you have no recourse besides sending a letter to the ACCSC or filing a class action lawsuit but at least they can’t argue with numbers.Jeremy Boggs

PLEASE READ! DO NOT GO HERE! If I could give this school a rating lower than One star I would. I am a current student here for phlebotomy and the communication with the staff has been absolutely horrible. The coordinator that is suppose to find you site, Brittany Wilson, does not do her due diligence to get the clinics that you are to be attending prepared for your arrival and you are walking into (in most cases) a facility that is not COVID regulated, practicing unethical methods of venipuncture, and requiring you to do administrative work more than the actual internship you are there for. My classmates and I have complained to the management staff as well as Brittany herself and have gotten no where. The school has externship sites that they are not renewing the contract with and do not have insurance covering us going to these sites due to an expired contract. The first site I was placed at was Spanish speaking only, the second was practicing starting IVs and drawing blood with no gloves on, and the third that I was placed I was told that this site was fully aware of me starting on 3/15 with their clinic and notified staff (Leslie Kong, Brittany Wilson, Sylvia Espin) that I have taken off those days per that information. I EVEN HAD THE CONVERSATION OVER THE PHONE!!! CONFIMRING. Yesterday I receive an email stating that the site decided not to take me and my classmate. After speaking with Brittany Wilson no less than two days ago. This is ridiculous. This school just wants to take your money, not give you the proper supplies for education, and is not a reputable business. Nor as an academic facility do they have a library. Do not go here!tyler snowden

Im a graduate from NP College I completed the Medical Assistant course. The school was great and the staff memebers are very helpful and nice. My recruiter was Maria Razo she was great and very helpful throughout the whole course i was there. Any questions or concerns i had her or Jeovanni help me.the hours are felxable and The material for each course was well explained and instructed. After the terminology and anatomy comes the hands on which i felt i learned so much from and made it more comfortable when i went out in the field. My teacher explained and showed us each technique well and gave us confidence when we felt like we couldnt do things and when it came for our final my teacher help me prep for the test and passed the first time. Graduation was great also. Over all the school was great and when graduating the school helped me get a job at HealthCare Partners right away and ive been with them for 6years now thanks to them helping me get here. So yes i would recommend this school not just for there Medical Assistant course but there other courses as well so take the time and if your looking for a career go check them out finacial services will also help you to see your payment options.KaT G.

yesterday 7/27/2020 I officially graduated from Concorde college (MA PROGRAM) and all I can say is if you’re looking for a school to help you learn about the medical field Concorde is it. They have great teachers willing to help you as much as possible. They have a great computer lab, always open to help! The school is very well kept and cleaned! Staff also does little events here and there just to show appreciation to the students which I loved. The staff here are AMAZING! 2 staff I would really like to shout out are ARIANA HERTZ & MONICA CARLOS! Both of these woman helped me so much and went out their way to make sure i was doing great at Concorde. Security GEORGE was also such a great staff, he always would help as much as he can. But overall all staff is great, super helpful and super friendly. I felt so welcomed at Concorde as soon as I got there! So glad I came to this school because not only did I get an education but I made some wonderful friends here too. I LOVE CONCORDE💙! And highly recommend it to anyone looking for a school to be in the medical field.Isabel Rosas

This review is overdue. But I wanted to wait until I had been working in my field a couple of years to review. I graduated in 2019 with my LVN, and I was able to obtain my license in January 2020. I was well prepared. Passed my nclex on the first try. But I studied and I followed the direction the instructors and staff recommended to get there. Sometimes it felt like they were dragging us through the ringer, when it came to assignments, tests, clinical etc. But it was well worth it. I started my job confident in all of the basic LVN skills. Vital signs, GT, wound care, interpersonal relationships etc. This school taught me so much about myself. If you are considering a career change; or a jump start to your career. I highly recommend. But don’t go here thinking it will be easy. You WILL have to put in the work. Also another tip, communication is key. If you don’t let the school know what’s going on, they won’t be able to help you.Chynna Hooper

Garden Grove Concorde is what you expect out of a school. I love this campus. I enrolled here in 2006 for the Respiratory Therapist program and graduated in 2008. During the program, they provided all the resources i needed to get through all my courses such as tutoring, 1 on 1 help, and most importantly the most friendliest, attentive staff from the front the front desk all the way to the top. i would like to mention someone who has help through my toughest times, Lynda Carlos. When i was having trouble with my application process she would go out of her way to help me. She was like this with every student and every one of my class mates love her. If anyone is out there looking for a school that actually cares about your future and education, I recommend this school.Ken Torres

So glad I made the decision to come to this school. I enrolled in the DMS program and it has provided me with so many career opportunities. I was placed at a great internship site. Thanks to Dr. Sam I'm filled with so much knowledge about all the specialties in this career field and was able to land a job shortly after finishing the program. Another awesome thing about this school is they are open on the weekends and you're able to go in and practice your scanning ( a lot of school don't allow that )Crystal R

I recommend this school to all people, best school ever. I granduated with DMS here and its the best decison ever. The Doctors are so helpful, its not only when you are student there but also after granduation, they still help you with all their best when you need them. The school will also help you with the resume and a job after granduation. They helped me a lot and i got current job now. Dr. Sam and dr. Emad are my best teachers ever. I love this school, its perfect.THAO Tran

Worst School Ever My daughter’s classmate had to report this school to the School Board My daughter had to call health department on this school All the students that attended the ultrasound course can not find a job Because of the bad reputation this school has The instructor never shows up to clase to give lecture This School Is A Scam Looks like Rey pays to have the bad reviews remove and pays people to give good reviews on this unprofessional trashy schoolA. Macias

Good customer service (thanks Mark!)–I needed a small top/shirt and medium bottom/pants, and they did not hesitate to mix-and-match the sizes for me. The price was reasonable for the quality of the scrubs. They also offer hemming pants for about $3.Pop Phuvadakorn

I have bought many different types of scrubs. For me Dress a Med is the best. I got 3 sets for school. 2 years ago they still look good and fit perfectly. Just went back to buy new scrubs for my new job. I will buy from them again and recommend them.Dee Wallace

I ordered uniforms from here on Tue the 12th and it's now Thurs the 14th and I received my order today!!! I'm all the way in Ohio and I received this order that fast!! I'm in awe of this company and you guys just earned a new customer!!!!Selena M Frazier

I stopped in because I have had a really sore throat for the last 3 days. I got a negative Covid test result a few days ago but today my uvula was really swollen and was even touching the back of my tongue so I had to get looked at. The office is very clean and welcoming. The front desk and support team are very nice and welcoming. They took me in right away. The reason for my rating is because the Dr made a very unnecessary and unprofessional remark during my visit. When he found out I have not yet been vaccinated for Covi-19 he said to my face, “Not vaccinated huh?” Went on to list a few of my conditions… “so you’re just waiting to get hospitalized huh?” (With a smirk and a pat on my shoulder. While I would understand his concern and his belief that I should be vaccinated, I also believe that there are different “professional” ways of getting this message across if he gets so inclined to do so. At the end of the day it’s my personal choice and bullying me is not going to help. Specially from someone who is supposed to be helping. Dr. Whatever your name was. I appreciate what you do. Thanks for taking a look at me and helping me get past whatever I’m fighting right now. Next time with your next patient, try wording things different if you’re really interested in helping. Condescending and mocking tones don’t help anyone but just make you look like a jerk.Gerson Flores

WOW!!! Dr. Mimi is heaven sent. I have never had any doctor ever give me treatment like she provided me this past month… in my adult life! crazy right!!! I am so sad that I can't have her as my primary Care. Dr. Mimi thank you so much for giving me time to talk, express my concerns and thank you for being courteous, professional, kind and caring. We are in need of more doctors like you. Dr. Mimi is the absolute best, she will listen carefully so she can provide you the right treatment, she truly goes above and beyond to make sure her patients are comfortable with her care plan and will go out of her way to answer any additional calls if it's absolutely needed. I have been here numerous times, and every time I have been lucky to have been under her care. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Dr. Mimi, you are an absolute Gem.Claudia Linares

WOW- great urgent care! Super nice on the phone and very helpful with giving me information- this was my first time going to an urgent care. The lobby is so nice and when I walked in they immediately walked me back to an exam room. The nurse helping me was really friendly, assuring and professional (I get a little nervous in Drs offices). Dr. Tran is absolutely amazing. She was so nice as she explained things to me and gave me treatment options. I really loved her bedside manner 🙂 Thank you again for helping me out today UrgentMed- I highly recommend coming here and I will definitely be coming back in the future with my medical needs!Karyna Broadhurst

Fourth of July $8 annual membership promo Having never been a member of a club store, before, when I heard about the Fourth of July $8 annual membership promo at Sam's Club, I figured why not? I've been a customer at Costco's food court, back when it was open to the general public, and I've been inside the store a couple times. Knowing Sam's Club would be similar facsimile, thereof, I highlighted what having a membership entailed- – discounts at the Sam's Club gas station – samples – cheap pizza, hot dogs & more at the food court – bulk merchandise Trying to fill up on gas, I discovered the lines to be the same at Costco gas stations. Fortunately, my go-to station is usually only 5-6 cents more per gallon, without being insanely busy, which would nullify any gas savings I'd get at Sam's Club. Shopping-wise, I found some good deals on rice, extra virgin coconut oil, etc. I've only seen 2, sometimes 3, sample stations operating at a time. While nice, I would prefer at least 1 more. I love my samples. I'm a self checkout guy, and I've utilized Sam's self checkout lanes, minimizing time wasted in line. The food court has several different types of pizza, of which I usually go for the supreme. Hot dogs are good, too. Unfortunately, Sam's Club doesn't have the onion chopper gadget that Costco's food court has. I would load up on onions, back in the day. Seating is also minimal. Call yourself lucky if you manage to snag a table. The biggest positive to my annual membership would have to be the complimentary tire pressure check & fill. I simply have to pull up to the last shop bay, and an associate at the tire center will fill up my tires. The tires I currently have don't fit with the air compressor I've use at home for decades, so I'd have to fill my tires at gas stations. At Sam's Club, I can shop for savings on bulk items, try a few samples, have a cheap meal from the food court, and then have my tires filled before going home. Now, that's winning! Sam's Club recently raised their rates for annual memberships, and it's up in the air if I'm going to renew come next July. However, for an $8 annual membership, I believe the benefits far surpass the price of admission. I've enjoyed being a member, thus far, and am hoping Sam's Club will have another promo for renewals.Rodney S

Good products and prices. Venders are pushy, but nice. Inventory issues lately I've seen, but overall a good place to shop. (Update 9/28/22- they are changing the store around and some product sections are missing currently, tried to look for asparagus and the section is gone, hopefully next time I shop they will have it available again. Also prices are being marked up manually, I went to buy some cheese and someone updated the price in front of me with a sharpie)Jake CJ

Are using the restroom at the Long Beach Sam's club store a cleaner lady enter the restroom attempted to open the store I was in after discovering I was there continue to clean the rest of the restroom I asked her to leave so I could finish doing what I was doing and she continued I told a male manager and he said that it was funny especially about passing gas I have been satisfied with Sam's club for many years but this is something they should take care ofStanley Copley

I am a current student at American college of healthcare massage and physical therapy program. I highly recommend this program, since you will have two sets of skills about graduation . You can work as a massage therapist in any of the resorts, hotels or massage parlors local to where you live. Most massage therapy students have been hired by Massage envy, which is partnered with the school. You can also get a physical therapy assistant position at a physical therapy establishment. it takes around 8 months and before you know you graduate and can get a good job.Ali Bekam

i am one of Dr. Roufail's student from the afternoon class ever since i started this class i have a good experience with him, he is a great instructor. Also any doubts he is always there to give a good explanation for any questions i have or other students. BEST DOCTOR 🙂 🙂 🙂 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL PLUS THEY HELP YOU GET YOUR HIGH DIPLOMA FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE IT YET.Kemberly Beltran

This place is great i learned A LOT! They helped me find a job after externship. I did the Vet assistant course and if you have love for animals you will enjoy this program perfect place to help you get out in the veterinary medicine field!Jenny Navarro

just read a negative review by someone named JJ, who does not even use her real name giving misguided information causing those interested to get an education and improving their lives have a second thought. Please ignore this person since she seems to have ulterior motives and have wrong information. I attended the Veterinary Assistant program at California Healing Arts college last year and it was a wonderful program. They teach you every aspect of veterinary care. I was overwhelmed with the knowledge learned. She is talking about the X-Ray, In California you can not operate an X-ray machine unless you graduate from a two year program in VETERINARY TECHNICIAN, DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING, which is a branch of Veterinary Technician. Legally you can never touch an X-ray machine as a Veterinary Assistant that this program offers. She stated to start from the bottom and work yourself up the ladder; if you are hired, with the competition with the graduates of all the Vet assistant programs the chances of getting hired by a reputable Animal Hospital is very low. The investment that you make with this program is partially paid by a grant from the federal government and there are different scholarships available that you might qualify. There might be a small student loan that you will be paying a minimal payment six months after you graduate. One thing that JJ is right is that the school helps you to land a job. The school gave me a free Laptop with all my books and course works on it, that alone was worth close to $1000.00. The instructors are so knowledgeable with great patience that you have for 8 months teaching you the latest in veterinary medicine. I am currently working as a vet assistant and planning to become a Vet tech in the future by gaining more experience. You also meet lots of friends that are on the same journey in the program.Wilma Stokes

DO NOT take the VA program! And here is why… You don't need an education to be a veterinary assistant, you can literally apply at an animal hospital and they will be willing to train you! Or just start from the bottom like doing kennel/receptionist and work your way up. You will be assisting the staff either way. Someone else made this remark on yelp as well and I totally agree! Save your money! I attended this school a few years ago and it was nothing like it in the real world. This school lacks in a xray, anesthesia, dental machines that is needed to learn as a VA! Externships dont let you learn those things either because this school doesn't even have the resources, heck your not even provided a dosimeter badge to take x-rays when your sent off to externship, so how do they expect you to learn?! And still expect you to pay your full amount tuition. Lastly, jobs will ask if you are certified, which this school does NOT offer a AVMA exam to be considered certified. All you get is a diploma which is not good enough when your looking for a job. Diploma or not your pay will be the same for that reason, it doesn't mean you have a higher chance of getting hired either. I would recommend starting from the bottom or just go to school to be a Registed Vet Tech….2 stars because its NOT worth the tuition cost and lacks in teaching you actual skills however, staff at the time were dedicated in finding me a job.Jj Pp

Overall I would suggest going to a community college or maybe even uei college. I went to the medical assistant program. It’s been 3 months since I graduated and have not received my certificate. No graduation ceremony was held either. This is coming from a straight A student who should have had honor roll recognition as well. When I was attending the school I would receive various calls asking if I was interested in the MA program despite already attending. I learned more by myself and in extern than the class itself. Class equipment and techniques are outdated as well.Stephi Nava

I’m in shock I have to write this, but I hope it grabs the attention of their staff to make a change so this doesn’t happen again to another patient. I had the most awful experience yesterday, 8/24/2022 coming into the emergency room in an ambulance for excruciating abdominal pain. I had pancreatitis with dangerous lipase levels, after getting blood tests and 8 hours of waiting I was happy to be put on a chair in the back since they didn’t have a room open to get some kind of treatment. I understand emergency rooms get extremely busy. I was so patient but I couldn’t handle the pain, I started to faint from being so hysterical not being given any attention. One nurse even said, “Fine!! I see you now!” The doctor working was super unprofessional and mocked me for having pancreatitis, and said there’s not much else she wants to do. I sat there out of fluids and being completely ignored after asking for help so many times. I would have been content if they just had given me the treatment they said they would at the time. I ended up leaving and going to Hoag in Newport Beach where they told me, IM PREGNANT as well! I should not have been given certain medication they gave me without them looking at my blood test! I am now fully admitted here and being treated in a safe way. This is unacceptable practice.Nicole Renna

Dr Strube is not qualified to treat patients. She’s entirely wrong. She removed my pain meds while I had a broken arm-never even looked at my arm or my x rays. She left me in agony like the film Misery. It was insane. The Emergency Dept staff was overwhelmed and unable to treat. I laid in a dirty hallway for twelve hours with a broken arm and no one to help me because my case was not “emergent”. The nurses on the 6th floor were inattentive and rude. They held me for no reason for three days! All I had was a broken arm. But They never set my bone nor cast it. I never saw an orthopedic doctor. An orthopedic tech came on day three and put a temporary brace on my arm and sent me home telling me I never should have been admitted. I went to harbor UCLA medical where a team of orthopedic doctors and nps took care of me finally but that was nine days after my initial break. They said St Mary’s claimed they applied a cast and splint. That was a lie. St Mary’s delayed my care for over nine days and left me in terrible pain without treating me in any way properly. They are a dangerous and terribly run hospital. If you value yourself and your health never go to them. Oh. And they billed me for the three days instead of going through my insurance. Real class act.Sean Wolf

So I have to give st marys four stars, although it’s a bit of a mixed bag, I delivered my baby there and the OB staff was amazing truly they were on top of everything very helpful, very soothing people made the experience very special, and my boyfriend (the father of my child) was allowed to be very involved in the birthing process which also calmed me down and helped me out a ton. They were amazing everyone at the clinic and as well as in labor and delivery were just amazing! So I recommend giving birth there. However the emergency room is horrible never again will I go there for urgent care the staff was extremely rude not helpful at all and just horrible, I came in with a crippling headache and neck ache in tears and they could care less and (this was days after giving birth so I was already very fragile) I mean I know they are busy but the attitude everyone has there is horrible! I just felt so scared and stressed it was horrible one of the worst experiences ever. Yet I do give them a good rating just because my OB experience was truly amazing. I don’t remember all the names, but Wendy, Belle, are the ones that come to mind and one other nurse in labor and delivery were very good. Like I said the OB clinic as well is very good as well.Sasha Boyko

I visited this Rite Aid store at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 to pick up three federal government distributed N95 respirators. Upon entering the store, I saw a table to my left has many stacks of N95 respirators on it without any signage. I proceed to take three and over heard a lady behind sales register said “for customer only”. I took three N95 respirators to show her I took three and told her those N95 respirators are federal government distributed without any string attached. She replied that are only for customers. I asked for manager. She did not ask for manager. I asked for her name, as she did not have her nametag on her gray shirt. She replied “for what?”. I told her so I can report this incident to Rite Aid customer care. She replied she forgot her nametag and told me just go. She is between four and five feet tall, darker brown skin color, in her late 20s or early 30s. She appears to be Hispanic.鮑魚林

Needed a post surgery medication on the same day ( Friday night ). Wasn’t available until the following Monday. The Pharmacist got on the phone ( on her own accord ) and arranged for me to pick it up at another location within thirty minutes. That’s what I call “ above and beyond “! Her attitude and professionalism should be acknowledged in the very positive way!tukan블루스로서 모음

Well I love Rite Aid stores but some of the associates at this location leave alot to be desired, except of course Maria she is always friendly and helpful.nick carter

***If you have the option to go somewhere else, please do so for your own safety.*** I got to this establishment at 7:45am and stood in line (outside) patiently until 10:30am. When I finally got to the front, I filled out my paperwork and followed all instructions. Unfortunately, there was an issue with my insurance and my plan was not active at the time of my visit (I was unaware). I felt so terrible, health-wise, I was willing to pay with my own funds to figure out what was wrong with me. I was told by Long Beach Urgent Care staff that due to them not wanting to deal with me paying cash that day to only have my insurance provider back pay and have to deal with figuring out a refund (that I did not ask for and would not have asked for), I was turned away. I was willing to pay with my own money and was turned away. I left humiliated, ill and devalued. ***If you have the option to go somewhere else, please do so for your own safety.***Danielle King

This place would be a lot better without one particular lady who works in the front desk. Im sure those of you who work there know exactly who im talking about. I have been here on multiple occasions and she always has the same disgusting attitude towards patients walking in. She is rude, demonstrates no empathy, and her people skills range from zero to none. Im sure this is not the first complaint about her, so that should tell you guys something. Either properly train your front desk team on customer service skills, or trim the fat from your staff and hire people who actually want to help others and not just sit behind a desk, claiming a check, doing the bare minimum.Sixto A. Andrade (Super 6)

There were 4-5 women at the front. One was eating, two talking and one was a new girl I guess. Only 1 of the women was helpful or listened. I think she had Sandy blonde hair, idk, she was also the only one working on an actual task (filing). I was the ONLY patient in there. It was ridiculous, like I was interrupting their 3pm gossip/break time/meal to be in there? I called today to follow up about something and the girl on the phone had an extremely rude attitude for absolutely no good reason. She was, as expected, unhelpful with a simple request. Absolutely worthless staff. Also, please wear your masks like your office mandates.D Sorrels

This so called team leader DAVION is extremely unprofessional. He berated my husband and I to other customers as soon as he sent my husband to go locate a replacement item. We purchased an inflatable bed that was support be the best one they had available. Holding weight listed over 700 lbs. The bed was defective and wouldn’t t hold air. We asked for a refund with a receipt that was only a few days old. They said they don’t refund air mattresses even with a recent receipt nor do they give store credit with a receipt . So he sent my husband to go retrieve another one but they didn’t have any in Stock. This So called team lead could have easily looked up the item to see if it was in stock and not waste our time. So no refund, store credit or exchange!!! This should have been mentioned before we purchased this item. They should have stocked replacement in the back sense they don’t offer a refund or store credit!!! Walmart is known for guaranteeing the product they carry. Anyone spending their hard earned money would be agitated for this situation. Then having their so called team leader go to a register and start berating them not knowing I was watching and recording his childish and unprofessional behavior. He surely didn’t behave this way in front of my husband . After he noticed I was recording him berating us he had the nerve to tell me he wasn’t talking to me as was muttering and talking fast while calling security over to 86 me. Staring and gazing at me in a very intimidating manner. He escalated this whole situation with his belligerent, fast talking muttering. I informed him I’m not leaving and he needs to do his job and stop berating my husband and I to these customer. I told my husband and yes he gave him an earful from far away. Like any real man would he defended my honor as a woman. Very horrible team lead. His own manager came out to try and calm Angry seething man “DAVION” and he continued to mutter on yelling across the floor at us and to his boss. Thank GOD Patty came over. I requested he but they brought out Davion. They sent us to another location after calling customer service. No surprise there No item in stock to exchange/ no store credit or refund. This is very infuriating. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 what a waste of time. I’ve spent well over 100,000 at Walmart in the past coupled of years staging and repairing my rental properties out of state. I will not patronize this establishment moving forward !!!!! It’s not the money for sure but the principal. This made me want return every single item purchased across the US and spend my money elsewhere!!! Thank GOD this is the only location that promotes a muttering, unprofessional, ignorant, childish, belligerent coward “DAVION” that tries to intimidate women or you would be out of business. I’m done 🍴Dreadhead

I just put my electric scooter on the bike rails for 15 minutes at most and when I came back my chain was partly destroyed. Luckily my electric scooter was still there. There was a part of the bike that was damaged but it wasn't too major. I swear they should put the bike racks where it's visible to the security (LIKE INSIDE THE FACILITY). And the lock (Locks Onguard is the name of the product) I bought is from Walmart….this exact Walmart and got it like 2 or 3 days ago >:( So the security is trash and the locks from here is completely TRASH!!!! DONT GO HERE IS YOU HAVE A BIKE OR AN E-SCOOTER OR BUY LOCKS THAT CLAINS TO WITHSTAND "THIEVES" OR ANYTHING TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.Akemi Sato

Why are their so many out of stocks? This is Not The Only Department that I've Seen Like this. Very Disappointing to Go In at 8am and Beat The Long Lines Just to Find Out That Half of the Products I Was Shopping For Weren't There. It's Not The First Time That I Had To Encountered This at The Compton Walmart. Plenty of Outs Around the Store. I Just Happend to See More Outs in This Department than any Other. When I Happen to Ask Your Associates When Will You Be ReStocking/How Often Do You ReStock. All They Do is Shrug Their Shoulders and Say I Have No Idea/ I Don't Know. Lack of Customer ServiceNina Cuevas

By far, the worst pickup service, I have ever seen. No exaggeration. Waited almost an hour. Wasn't serviced. Had to flag someone down after they were done unloading another car (that came way after me). they tried to ignore me, but I cut off their walking path, just for them to tell me, they will do me next, only for me to wait even longer. I am a food delivery driver and I don't know why Walmart request are apart of the app. Your company is clearly not ready for it. Be better.Anthony Carroll

This store’s policy is: 1. We will have 1-2 check out lines open with employees. 2. The rest will be do everything yourself in the many self service checkouts 3. BUT IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO THE SELF CHECKOUTS THEY WILL BAG YOUR ITEMS ONLY IF YOU BUY THEIR BAGS AND NO ROOM IS PROVIDED TO USE YOUR OWN BAGS ON THEIR CIRCULAR CONTRAPTION! Oh, and no one knows where the manager is. This is no way to run a business!Carolyn Smith

Good experience today. Even it's a little bit crowded, the knowledgeable staff associates got everything under control. Very good flow at the checkout. Thanks to the three ladies at the floor specifically to Cora, Celia and Gerlie, very efficient and friendly associates. Excellent customer service.Sam

Never buy a car battery from Walmart; after waiting for over 30 minutes on the returns lane, because there was only one person to attend a lot of people, the lady at the desk called the returns manager to perform a test on the battery, after about 5 minutes He informed me that the battery was good and just needed to be charged, so I said, fine! Charge it!, Then He said that they can not do it, because they don't have a charger, He's name is Aaron, He told me to: quote "take it to autozone to get it recharged " I replied. Well, I didn't buy it in autozone, so I asked him to get me a replacement battery or get me my money back. He called the store manager, Blake, who asked me, quote: did He explained you the battery policy? I said, yes, He told me to take the battery to autozone, I asked the store manager to charge the battery, replace it or get me a refund , He said, quote " I won't talk to you anymore about this " and He left, while other customers were asking him to get me my money back. Now I'm at Carson Walmart having another bad experience, I will submit a separate feed back on that store. So. Walmart if you cannot service batteries, then, don't sell batteries.Betto Salcido

I came to walmart earlier today like how I usually shop for groceries and their was a security that eyed me the whole time I was shopping at walmart. I didn’t think much of it until after I paid and headed out towards the exit and a lady and a man that was apparently undercover as a security stopped me and claimed I stole something. WHICH I DID NOT. I asked if it was racially motivated because I am asain and they said no even though they embarrassed me in front of everyone and did not even apologize for their false claim. I was not compensated for any means and I HOPE NO ONE ELSE GETS THIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. This walmart is HORRIBLE as in HORRIBLE.Kimberly Baliling

I hate the feeling like I'm being watched everytime I go in this Walmart. I like to do the self checkout cuz I put items together so when I get home, it's easier to put away. For example, I put all cold stuff together. I have a system but back to what I was getting at…. I do not like the employees practically hovering over me as I'm checking out. I feel violated. The South Street Walmart is really bad about that and I understand that they probably have a lot of theft but they shouldn't treat everybody like their criminal. There are still honest people out there in the worldJulie Collins

I graduated CBD’s DMS program in July of 2020. Majority of the DMS instructors and program faculty are top notch and super dedicated to the success of their students. I have no complaints about the DMS program itself. However, I am almost 3 years out from graduation and I reached out to the school regarding a transcript that I needed to apply to another school. I was informed after requesting my transcript that my account had a so called “outstanding monetary balance” which I was unaware of for almost 3 YEARS. Literally NO ONE from CBD has attempted to contact me via email or phone regarding this issue and when I spoke to the financial aid person, Lisa Reichstein, about this issue she informed me that if I didn’t make some sort of payment that I would immediately be sent to collection…. After no warning for almost 3 years… I have had a HORRIBLE experience with the financial aid department while trying to resolve this issue; Specifically with Lisa Reichstein, from inaccurate communication about what my monthly payments would be to her accidentally charging my bank account with monthly payments NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. Both of the accidental excessive charges were of payments greater than $250.00 which is a significant amount of money to be losing on accident as a result of someone’s incompetence. If you’re looking for a private, CAAHEP accredited school for DMS look no further. But beware that everyone in their administration is totally incapable, unprofessional & obviously unqualified to do their job correctly.ALANNA BETANCOURT

I attended and graduated for the PTA program from Oct 2019 – Nov 2022. I must say this was one of the most challenging experiences I have gone through especially being out of school for 15 year. Luckily the staff and instructors are more than happy to spend the extra time with you to make sure you are able to succeed in the program. At no fault of the school we entered the covid pandemic and had to switch to a hybrid program, however our instructors were able to still get us into the campus for hands on labs with strict guidelines to keep us safe, yet manage to make sure we received the hand on training required for the field. I feel that attending CBD College PTA program was one of the best decisions I have made in preparing me for a new career and making sure I was prepared to take on the NPTE Boards. I was able to take and pass the exam on my first attempt and start my career immediately (3 days after NPTE results) once I received my license from DCA. I used to always say I'll got back to school next year, and that turned into 3, then 5, and so on. My brother said to me time will pass regardless, might as well have it pass and have a degree already. That was my final push to make the move to attend CBD College.christopher fonseca

First and foremost, I would like to say that if you’re interested in pursuing a career in the medical field, CBD College would be a great place to enroll. The staff and teachers are a pleasure to work with. I began my journey at CBD in 2019 with the MRI program. The classes were taught so well by each teacher, that for the first time in a long time, I actually grasped the knowledge with full understanding. After graduating with my AA, I then enrolled into CBD again to obtain my BA in Health Science. At first, I was a bit nervous because I was sure the courses were not going to be easy but each professor took their time teaching us thoroughly and also made time for us if we ever needed help outside of classroom hours which was incredibly helpful for me. Overall, CBD is one of the best colleges that I’ve been to and I would like to say, THANK YOU ALL for giving me a wonderful career ! #AA2020 #BA2022Shannon Plunkett Caceres

I love Mrs. Hellen ! She's hilarious and extremely caring. If you need any help, trust me she will make sure you're confident in what you're doing. She's like family now, and thanks to her and Trident I'm ready to pass my board exam w/out any stress or doubts ! Thank you Mrs. Hellen !Kayla Cardona
