20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Los Angeles, 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

I was a student back in 2018. Came back for the spring 2022 semester, and the "president" Ms.Katrina VanderWoude, has ran this place directly into the bottom of the barrel. I remember when President Larry Frank was here. Good times. He was amazing. I never seen the problems I see now when he was here. Anyone else would have handled the pandemic better than VanderWoude. This used to be my favorite school, I was always saying to family and friends how much I loved trade tech. Well that time has passed. The outside of campus is filthy, the sheriffs are rude, they don't open the gates in the morning as they should, website is hardly updated, bookstore is garbage, no help for students in terms of supportive services etc. Its no wonder enrollment is low. LACCD can blame Ms.VanderWoude for that. The only upside is the professors. And yes I am fully aware Ms.VanderWoude is "Dr" but since lacks respect for students and staff then I will lack respect for her. Trade tech is my home school but I will be switching it to ELAC. That campus has surpassed trade tech in every possible way and I love going there for classes. I hope VanderWoude gets replaced soon for the sake of the campus.Karina Gomez

I am currently in the third semester taking the carpentry program. Los Angeles Trade Technical College is a great school. October will be 3 years that I have been attending this college. I also got my GED through Trade Tech.The majority of the professors and staff are very respectful and kind. Update I finished the carpentry program and found a job in the construction field with great pay. I would definitely recommend Los Angeles Trade Tech Technical College to someone that wants to learn a trade or just take some classes. If you do decide to go put all your effort in your studies it will pay off.Michael Valdez

Brand new high-end medical school building for the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. Very nice building with wonderful atrium / entrance way. Top of the line private study rooms, offices, seminar rooms, and group study rooms for UCLA medical school students. Cafe located at the NW corner of the building too.Eric Rodriguez

Uhm I'm trying to know how to get into this school for the future so I can know what grades I need to get in high school to get into this school, so please reply to this. I'm trying to become a surgeon.RaG3_ Clips1

Thank you NOT for sending a quack to us in Florida as our new surgeon general. What are you teaching over there? Please take him back. Did you know Desantis double his new salary? Krazy.Hömma 09

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

elenita r. Northridge, San Fernando Valley, CA 8/10/2022 After nine months of schooling, Pharmacy Technician Course i was really satisfied with how my instructor, Ms. Wiggy guide us to learn and understand our chosen field and be able to adapt in real life scenarios.In general the facility has everything you need and clean. Kudos to the school's staff for being supportive and accomodating specially from the very start of enrollment until the end of the course. If I would decide to take another course , I would enroll again and even recommend it to my family and friends.Thank You MIss Wiggy for sharing your knowledge and thank you VCMC staff and to my beloved school.. Its not only a school…its going to be your home alsoelenita rivera

When I first enrolled everyone was super friendly and helped me with the process and it went smoothly. The teachers and staff are very kind and caring and will go out of their way to help when you have trouble with assignments. And when you finish with the corse they help you to find a job in no time! If I could give more then 5 stars I would and I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to pursue knowledge and a career in the medical field!!David Rodriguez

Im a student , and just finished , I really love this school I learned a lot , even though I was gonna give up in the beginning , but Mr. U didn't give up on me , it was scary at first learning all this new medical stuff , but with the help of mr.u and my classmates I did it , and I can't believe how fast time went , I recommend this school for anyone at any age , I'm very greatful , and I can't believe I did it yay !!!maria gonzalez

Two years ago I had the good insight of enrolling in Concorde's PTA program. The program is run by knowledgeable Physical Therapists invested in quality education (Mary, Sam, Laura, Kelly, Dennis). They provided me with the necessary tools to start a new career and enter the work force feeling competent with my skills. The school has a department dedicated to assist graduates find a job, Alvy has personally helped me with this, he even rendered a mock interview so that I would show up to a possible employer as a strong and coherent candidate. Because the program is so well organized (from prerequisites to clinical rotations and even when/how to signing up for your board test!) it is easier to have a balance school/personal life. And when you approach the school, Karl, the security officer at the entrance, is the most welcoming and kind person that will ever open a door for you.Yawi Griffini

My experience at Concorde has truly been astounding. I joined the Medical Assistant program and my teacher Ms Tameka was nothing short of a great instructor. She was very patient, compassionate and dedicated to ensuring that every student learned even if it meant staying late or adapting the way she presented materials.The Financial staff Eva and Peetee were very efficient in handling my paperwork so that I could dedicate my focus to studying and be successful. Upon completion my graduate employment specialist Rocky was a true rockstar. I had no faith in using their services but this guy was very helpful in making sure my resume was top notch and that I was interview ready and confident enough to land jobs and ask for the money I deserved. I am very thankful for all of the staff at Concorde for helping me to be a success in the healthcare field today!Neshia B

I attended Concorde Career College for the Medical Assistant Program and after completing, I am now a graduate!. After completing my externship, Rocky Ramirez who is our graduate employment specialist assisted me with my resume and employment opportunities. Not only was Rocky very helpful but he goes above and beyond on ensuring that his students are fully prepared for the next step. He was always available when I needed his help, always checking in to see how things are going. You can definitely count on him for anything. Thanks to rocky, I am now employed! He surely does the best job with helping each one of his students at Concorde! :)) Thank you again Rocky!!Gabriella De Soto

PROS: -Nearly all of courses are open enrollment, which makes it very easy to enroll. -There is a range of classes and many of them are offered both online and on campus. -The staff are very friendly and helpful. -The refunds department is very helpful. -Enrollment is easy to work with. -Certificate programs can be more applicable to real world than some undergrad degrees Neutral: -There is a clear distinction between UCLA and UCLA Extension. Cons: -No student ID cards are issued to extension students -Generally excluded from using library, recreational activities, some other resources that require a student ID. -You do not get a student email account -The extension parking permits are only usable after 4:30pm, so if you perhaps find yourself at the school to meet with your professor or student services earlier in the day, you will need to find another parking option. -The Data Science Intensive program is not worth the money. You will likely need to Google all your coursework and homework.Andrew Sein

I am extremely disheartened with the deterioration in student support services. Instead of passing the buck, pretending a request hasn't been received, asking for more steps to be taken, more hoops to be jumped, and employing diversion tactics, how about we all do our jobs and take accountability for our actions or lack thereof. Another problem is the staff doesn't stick. Students don't know whom to contact for any issues. One doesn't always want to bother the academic advisor or DSO. I do appreciate new initiatives. International students were thrown out of the country on July 6, 2020. We are dealing with the trauma of a disrupted life and demolished dreams. The new circumstances are not yet favorable for international students. I applaud the efforts of the school (UCLA Extension with UCLA) to help us cope in this regard even if some instructors don't get it.Rati Tripathi

UCLA Extension has shown themselves to be incredibly disappointing in how they support their students (they don't). With the recent administration ruling, which threatened international students' stay in the states, this institution has given students zero productive updates and guidelines. Nothing on their website. Nothing on their social media. They did not reach out to their students to show any solidarity in this very difficult and scary time. Avoid this place if you can especially if you're a student planning to study abroad. Just by their lack of response /especially/ during a time as difficult as this, they will not support you if anything else comes up. If you're looking for a school that cares about you and your education, and not just your money, THIS ISN'T IT. Find a school that cares.Nina N

I have to represent my school! I dont know about the other programs but I finishes the LVN program graduated in Jan. 2015 the nursing department is amazing!! The school really goes above and beyond to train us and give us as much experience as they can. Shout out to Dr. Haney the nursing director!! Love this guy! He is a nurse and guess what also a Physician. We his students couldent be in better hands. Like every school they are not perfect but knowing you have a dedicated and devoted director that is willing to play theory instructor, clinical instructor, and spend his nights and weekends helping you and your education incase his staff fails, thats priceless! He is a role model to all students and staff and proves it if needed. I have the luxury to say a Dr. Was my theory instructor in nursing school and my classmates and I slammed dunked the NCLEX yeeea!! About job hunting I recommend alredy being in the field before you go spend $29k on a program obviously. I was alredy a CNA for 2yrs. And it was easier for me to get a job. Which I got right away by the way! $22/hr start off pay couldent get better for me and my family. I am so thankful to this school. Mr.Lee you are deeply appriciated and loved as well!Carla Espinosa

Staff was very nice. However, the ultrasound program is not accredited. When asked about if and how many students were employed here or near LA after graduation, they only kept saying examples of very few students that got employed in other states and small cities, pretty much anywhere that would overlook the program not being accredited because they needed employees. And even then it took them months to find the job. You can't sit for the ARDMS exam after graduation until after you have a year of full time paid work experience (which will be nearly impossible to find a job with out having done the exam or going to a caheep school.) Do your research please before picking a college for the AAS DMS program. This one wasn't the one for me. I decided to go to an accredited school which was only $1,000 more than WCUI. Worth the money because the school is very nice, modern, and its less of a hassle to sit for the ARDMS exam (which ima able to do quickly with out the paid work experience because of going to an accredited school.)Jennifer Martinez

West Coast Ultrasound Institute has been amazing to me, and every part of my experience they have been positive and given me high confidence that I made the right choice when I picked this school to get my training. The equipment is always available and the staff are super helpful, going above and beyond to help me when I need extra learning, and giving me encouragement when I’m on the right track. Fariba is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my life, she knows her stuff! As a lab instructor she is professional, Polite and she has great teaching skills, she cares about her students. When I need help she’s there, in class or out of class. Her instructions are very clear, with her lectures and techniques given to me and the other students to become more efficient sonographers. I know with these facilities and the staff here at WCUI, I’m going to be well prepared for a career in the field. I also just recently passed my SPI board exam. I’m very grateful for My Physics instructor &all the staff here. Thank you to all.Erojas C

Study! You have to take it serious. Show up, participate, study, study again. I graduated in 2019 Dec. There are some things that I wasn't clinically prepared for once I was on my own. So be assertive when doing clinicals and learn. If you drive be prepared to pay for parking everyday at campus! We had validations but it still cost about 5 dollars. The teachers I had were very knowledgeable and they change throughout the year. Also the teachers gave me references and even job recs.. When I say knowledgeable I mean in the field and nursing stuff not on teaching lmao!! I didnt give five 5 stars because they need a guidance counselor, I dont like one of the receptionist, one of my teachers was very brash, I'm missing some clinical experience, parking, and 3 people I know forsure didn't graduate or get licensed because they couldn't pass ATI. Ati is an online tutoring program.Rickel Allen

Good college and very helpful education to succeed and pursue your career. Graduated as an MA from Angeles college, CPR certified, and working on getting my phlebotomy license. Currently going to start the LVN program, couldn’t be more excited & nervous but Angeles college really helped me learn more about the medical field. Came in school without knowing anything to learning a lot, thanks to the best instructor Ms. Lopez! A very kind, patient and awesome person. Thanks to her I’ve learned so much and I can’t wait to learn much more in the LVN program. Great staff! If you have any questions or concerns they’re always there to help you in whatever you need, especially Ms.Eva and Claudia 🙂 one of the most wonderful people you’ll meet. Ready and excited to see what new things I’ll be learning in this program, thank you Angeles College!Kelyn Bermudez

Coming to Angeles college was an amazing experience. The staffs are really nice and Ms Lopez is an amazing teacher, everyone there are really helpful and they are willing to work with you on making it an amazing experience. I remember if I ever had any doubts or I needed help they're always willing to lend a hand. MS Lopez was an amazing teacher, she was my MA/phlebotomy teacher every time I had trouble or I didn't understand anything, she would always work with me and help me understand the material. Everyone who works in the front office are really amazing staffs. They help you set up your resumes, they explain how financial aid works, they help you work out payments, they also help with job search. It really is an amazing school.Kathy Ibarra

I do not recommend the school to anyone. I did not take the certified medical assistant exam right away and when I call them to ask them about it they said it was too late and I would not be able to take the exam. This is in fact not true. I found out I have 60 months from the time of graduation to take the exam. I misplaced my diploma and in order to get it they required me to come in in person and pay in cash and then return to pick it up. I need this diploma in order to sit for the exam and I work Monday through Friday 8 to 5. They are completely unwilling to work with me or help me. This is unlike many of the other schools available. I was very young and had no guidance at the time and will never recommend the school ever to anybody.coco cook

What makes this school great is the Job Placement Assistant Advisor Christopher Aono, he's a very Optimistic Guy full of energy always ready to help the Students. Although I only met Mr. Aono for only a month he has been very helpful for placing me in a clinic to do my Externship. From all the other staff he really reaches out from the rest by keeping in contact asking me how am doing at the clinic. Also he has a good Vibe that brings to the school and for him to be the First person to say congratulations to me for graduating and to say that he's proud of me for completing my hours and getting hired is overall great. Christopher Aono Thank you for your help.Andrew Ulloa

The class and professor Dr. Rivera was great ! But lack of communication with students is what this school needs to fix on. It can be messy at times how they work. They give out checks and my last one was never given because it was given to the wrong student. I tried calling the school and they would transfer me to different line and it seems like no one picks up the phone at all. They just have you jumping around and it’s like no one can help you out after all and you gotta find your solution to your problem yourself.jenipher reyes

I graduated from CDI on June 2022! I passed my NCLEX on the first attempt with 75 questions! It was an amazing experience because of the friends I made along the road, helpful staff, and their financial aid! Kim Cooper truly wants to help her students succeed, but you have to put in the work and study hard! There were moments in which I thought I was not going to be good enough to become an LVN, but I made it! Shoutouts to Adrian and Robyn in which my opinion were the best lecture professors as well as the clinical instructors: Toni, Kim Taylor, Fae, and Kristy!Giovanni Bautista

Great school, great staff and teachers. their supportive, they work with you and give you all the necessary resources for you to be successful in your nursing career. The financial aid adviser is everything he helped me with so many resources i didn’t even know existed. no other LVN school can prepare you for the NCLEX Exam like they can i truly felt ready to take and ace my NCLEX on the first try and I DID. Thank you CDI. and Shout out to Adrian best teacher ever taught me everything i know when it’s comes to medication.Asia Nelson

This school changed my life! The staff members are incredibly supportive and always available for tutoring or anything else that you may need to get you to the end of the program and NCLEX ready. I have zero complaints. All of the instructors, both clinical and lecture, are patient and hands on. And the office staff is just as amazing. I recommend CDI to any one who is serious about wanting a solid start in a nursing career. I absolutely made the right choice by enrolling.D Woodard

At the time of this review, I'm a student that is almost finished with my schooling here. I am a part of the x-ray technician with medical assistant skills (XTMAS) program here, and I feel this is a good institution for learning this trade. The classwork involved quite a bit of homework, especially for the MA portion, but the instructors make themselves available basically every day for questions and possible tutoring along the way. I felt well-prepared for my clinical externship, and now that I've finished, I feel ready for my state licensing exam and the job that will follow. For anyone looking into the idea of starting here though, I'd definitely recommend not working while in school, if possible. If you have to work, part-time is gonna be your best option, so you still have time for homework. Overall, I'm glad I picked this school.Gabriel Nofer

When I found Gurnick Academy I did not expect to be invited to a community of caring coordinators and support staff. From beginning to end, staff members like Jackie, Letty, Ms. Lopez, and Dr. Gomez have encouraged me to be a great student and the best version of myself. They understood that students need support to navigate through both academics and life. I plan to continue my education with Gurnick Academy to obtain the XT certification. Jackie has been supportive and is helping me transition into my new journey as an x-ray technician With much appreciation, thank you Gurnick Academy.Emily Sosa

After being on a wait list for more than 3 years at Cypress College for their x-ray program, I had no more time to waste! I turned to Gurnick and accomplished my goal. Everyone was so helpful through the process. Both the professors and the staff is amazing. They do everything and anything to help you and are always available for any questions or concerns. I learned so much and am excited to see what is in store for me with this new career.laura lomeli

If it wasn’t for Dr Marrs, I wouldn’t have my baby boy! He was an amazing advocate, resource and doctor to me after multiple natural pregnancies and miscarriages and helped us through a very difficult time. He is the best doctor and we truly owe him and his team the utmost gratitude and appreciation for helping us start our family. This process is such a challenging one and they made it the best one possible.Marty Bryant

I would not have my sons if I had not found this practice and Dr Ringler. I had tried 7 other fertility doctors and could not get pregnant. I was about to give up and consulted Dr. Ringler who told me I could get pregnant. I had a surgery to address my issues and Dr. Ringler's first try got me pregnant with Twin boys. I am so grateful to him and this practice. All the doctors are great.karen clark

Dr. Chung! We will absolutely be using CFP and Dr. Chung again when the time comes to expand our family. If you were like me and were grasping at straws when it came to researching fertility clinics in LA (there are so many options), do yourself a favor and just schedule an appointment with Dr. Chung. I had a very successful and great experience all around.Katherine Flynn

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

As expected from a low-cost secondary school. Nothing but lousy, unprofessional, and unfriendly staff who's there for their paychecks. My advice for new students: Take your orientation somewhere else other than here. Never have I felt disgusted and uncomfortable with an instructor who's unorganized, barely shows up on time, and makes unnecessary comments and jokes. Heck, doesn't even introduce themselves whether they're the instructor or not. Very awkward! Not sure how I feel about the classes here or the main campus. Will update to see how it goes.Pinkish Delight

Honestly very content with this school. I passed on my first try and the aid everyone proportionated was amazing. I'm a college student and honestly this facility is more helpful than the college itself. I got my CNA certification with Ms. Margie RN. And honestly no one is more helpful than her. Also for medical terminology Mr. Gonzalez was an outstanding professor to.Arley Martinez

This skills center has the most best dedicated teachers of ALL OCCUPATIONAL/SKILLS schools around that area!! Teachers and staff are very respectful, professional and fantastic , fun and easy learning teaching methods!! 😀 👏 thank you superb teachers and school staff!! 🙏👌simply the best skills/adult school!!Lirlly Ramirez

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 am a new student here, taking the medical billing and coding program here. I happened to find this school by doing my research on all these vocational schools around my area. This is the only one that offers the national testing from the AACP. All the other schools will not tell you this and they will lie and tell you that they are nationally accredited and its really just a diploma. I have been in this school going on 3 months now and I love the school and the criteria being taught to me. The teachers explain things in a way to help you understand and they genuinely want you to do well on your test and pass. Its a great environment and positive place. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to get into any of the fields that they offer here. And doing my research, this schools program is the cheapest than any of the other schools, they give you all materials needed, most current information in the field, laptops, and your testRose Figueroa

Oh, boy… My opinion is going to be pretty biased—I get massages regularly and usually by the same therapist at a different place altogether. I saw there was a deal on Groupon for this place and thought I’d try it… in hindsight (as usually the case), I realized I should have just stuck w/ my usual 😐 This isn’t to say the student therapist, Michael, wasn’t good but he just wasn’t experienced as my usual therapist—given since this is a school. So, this is my bad. The rating is more based off of my experience w/ massage. If you’re new to getting massages, this is a bad place to get one. Though, if you’ve already been getting them and take massages as seriously as I do, don’t bother coming here because you’ll be disappointed 😔Crystal Watana

The people are very knowledgable and experienced at their craft. I was impressed and improved. There is an employee named Igor there who much improved my ability to walk without pain. He was able to give me the proper treatment that alleviated my hip and back pain so that I would feel good enough to do the things I love to do: Like take walks and drive to places. I had previously had 28 p.t. sessions at another place that did little to improve me. I wish they would open a clinic near Highland Park because the place is a little far for me. I highly recommend this place. Especially Igor.Joe Perez

Could give zero stars if I could . My mother passed away in January due to stage 4 cancer . She was admitted to this hospital and cannot get any updates regarding her condition. That night we went to pick her up she had mentioned they had already released her since that morning . I specifically told them it would take me a couple hours to get there and I told them around what time I would be there .They gave her a pain medication in the morning and she was due for another one before I got there to the hospital. I live about 3-4 hours away from the hospital and she was in so much pain when we picked her up. The nurses did not give me instructions during discharge . As a daughter to someone who had cancer we knew nothing about it or what to look after . So we left clueless . and when I asked they didn’t know what to tell me because it was shift change . They knew nothing ! I had to fight for my mother to get her pain meds because having cancer she was in so much pain it hurt me to see her like this . So yeah I regret my mother coming here thinking they can do something or give her hope but nothing. She didn’t even get to fight her battle . She died 2 weeks after being discharged from this placeSs4ria Cel3sste

I saw plenty of physicians and explained my symptoms, none of them were able to pinpoint what I had. Went to TJ and they fix my health problem in less than 5 minutes with a naked eye no need of analysis instead precises medical term and the causes. I mean many physician at keck medicine went to top medicine schools, I just wonder where physicians at Mexico went. So proud of my country which cure people at all levels and don’t let them die. People, give it a try, reach out to me if you would like me to refer you to a good doctor at TJ. Sorry Keck, but I can proudly say that I am no longer a Keck client.Victor S

Parking first 2 hours free. * To enter main building you will need to prove COVID-19 vaccination. Digital is acceptable. Huge parking lot but can get filled. They're using a app now to pay for parking. They apparently photograph your license plate as you go in you download the app attach credit card and your license plate and it automatically deducts payment on your way out. Everything's very clean doctors are very good. Gift shop & Cafeteria located in main building. Cafeteria is not as huge as UCLA Ronald Reagan but very well stocked. Big breakfast for about $8 including xL oj.Jose Aguirre
