20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In New Haven, CT (2022 Updated)

First and foremost, Norwalk Community College was the first two-year college known since 1960, and they have been serving and assisting students in achieving the school readiness you have always desired but if you have struggled at some point. NCC will assist you in overcoming your obstacles to the point where you feel smart, confident, and accomplished. This college is my top choice because it is affordable, not overcrowded, has a super clean and safe building, and has no historically known hate crime in the area, which is an A+ in today's environment. There is plenty of parking, as well as the best tutoring center, which is a lifeline for students who want to improve their grades or need assistance with the curriculum. NCC carry the highest standard. They have the best tutoring service and professors who are committed to assisting students. All you have to do if you need help navigating any area at NCC is ask. The wonderful staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you, NCC. Continue to assist students to become the best versions of themselves.🤛🏼👊🏿🤝Laura S

It's a good starting school but extremely disorganized with idiots for employees. Dr Apple or apfel is a complete and total moron. She is so ungodly useless. She is extremely disorganized no wonder all of the students hate her. She wouldn't shake our hands because she said that's how germs are spread. Get rid of this delusional troll! She made an appointment for 12 and then when we got there said it was for 4pm. Um hello!? This school is so DISORGANIZED. If you're willing to put up with complete chaos for two years then go here. This school was better back in the day now it's a hell hole. The librarians are nice and some of the professors and the security officers are really nice but that's about it.Caitlin Campbell

Either believe the previous reviews of 'smelling like poverty and cigarettes', or understand that community college is the last place to find a living, breathing example of the American Dream. On top of that, NCC is the most well-funded community college, the most prestigious, and has the highest share of incredible professors than any other community college in the region. But it won't motivate you to succeed. You have to do that yourself. And if you do not find that drive within yourself in time, do not blame the college for your shortcomings. The opportunities are here and begging for you to take them.Ziggy Saks

Both my wife and I were returning college students and Stark State Alumni class of 2012. We both received a great education. She went for respiratory therapy and I went for Graphic Design. The graphic design program was wonderful. The professors were all very knowledgeable and really cared about their students (huge shout outs to Michelle Lash and Eugene Starr). The classes are small and it's very easy to schedule time with the professors if you need help or need to go over some things. It's also nice to have online classes if that's your thing. For the younger students (and older alike), Stark State also hooks you up with SALT at no charge after graduation, which is a useful tool to help find employement after graduation. Luckily I furthered my career without having to use SALT. The biggest recommendation I could suggest would be to offer more of certain classes. Sometimes only one class is offered a semester and can conflict with working hours. Thank you, Stark State and to all of my professors for giving me a great education and giving me a fighting chance in the workforce after graduation. For those who are seeking four year degrees and beyond, Stark State is definitely a great (and affordable) place to start.stephen slusny

I attended Stark State College a number of years ago when it was Stark Technical College. I am surprised by the negative reviews, because I had a great experience at the school. I graduate with a degree in Computer Technology, and the courses were challenging and taught me a lot. I still remember some of the great instructors like Mrs. McBride in my math classes. I even worked there part-time for about a year doing LAN Administration. They have provided me with a foundation for a very successful career in IT. I later completed my Bachelor degree at Kent State. I am currently completing my MBA. I was able to get a copy of my transcripts, even after graduating 25 years ago, by faxing in a request. I did this for two different Universities, and they arrived within a week. In this age there should be a way to do it electronically like Kent State, but at least they do not charge you for them. Overall I had an excellent experience and they prepared me for a very rewarding career in Computer Technology. I absolutely have no regrets about this school, and I enjoyed my time there.Kevin Frazier

I can not believe Stark State has less than 4 stars! This is my second semester and I LOVE it! The faculty are truly amazing and extremely helpful! This college also offers small class room sizes which makes learning more personal. Your teachers and professors always do their best to know each student by name. It is also extremely great for working folks who have busy work loads. They have many courses that can virtually work with any type of schedule. There are many success programs that Stark State offers, including assistance with any subject as well as a great Accommodations program for those with any learning disability/disability from minor to severe. Stark State also always keeps their students in the know through text message and emails. They give you the tools you need in order to succeed. Highly recommend this college!elisabeth brian

This is a really good school if you’re all about your academics. I’ve had my good times and my bad times here at MCC. Overall on the academic side of MCC I appreciate all of the hard work that most of my professors have done. There are professors here that definitely need to be more qualified with what they are teaching as it has affected my grades when I’ve taken their courses. I am an Honor student here at MCC with a GPA of 3.30 and have never once had an issue with organization skills until my 2019 spring semester. A couple of the professors have been unorganized, no syllabus and sometimes they have other priorities when they have to teach a class in other words they put another professor in place when they have to go to another job. Although these were a couple of issues within my time here at MCC I enjoyed the experience of learning new knowledge for my future career. I really liked a lot of my professors but a couple of them have been a little rough. If you communicate with your professors about your issues that you’re having it really helps and shows that you’re determined to do your work and it shows you care about your work as well. Environment wise I’d have to say it’s not healthy (mentally/physically) and or good for many people. There have been students who have left garbage all over the place and don’t clean up after themselves which leads to maintenance having to clean it all up. With my time here I have helped maintenance clean up other people’s messes so they don’t have to worry about it as much. Also the amount of vaping, drug use, and underage drinking in the lounge is unacceptable and nothing has been done to take care of this issue except shutting the lounge down. I feel as if this does nothing but illustrates that they can go elsewhere within the college and do these things. An authority figure should really take this into consideration and do something about this because it affects others who have nothing to do with these people and it ruins people’s Health. You can smell weed from a mile away and if people have asthma or a health condition this could affect them physically. I do not appreciate this at all and I wish something was done about it. The other big issue environmentally is the fact that the main cafeteria can get very loud and some students have no manners and do not respect others around them. If they are asked to quiet down they do the opposite It has gotten to the point where a lot of people have complained and yet nothing is done to prevent this from happening again. The college needs to have some control over what students do and take action on these issues. I wish that there could be some changes here and I hope for the best for everyone at MCC. Overall it is a good school for your academics but is definitely not a mentally healthy place environmentally. Even if you try to get away and go somewhere else for privacy somehow drama follows behind you. A Tip would be after your classes go home if you can or go to the back of the library in the quiet study room. I wish everyone the best of luck here at MCC and hope that everything goes well.Carmella H

So I will start with sharing my positive highlights of the fall semester during covid. Some teachers were empathetic to the situation the entire nation went through. Prof. Muldoon did such an amazing job touching base and gaining clarity of students frustration and technical difficulties during this time. Prof Diane. Hillyer OMG if I were ever to be a college professor I’d want to have her passion and dedication. She’s a math angel, truly loves her job and her videos were perfect! Now chemistry online and labs online were a joke!!! The professor did not make enough office hours, used YouTube videos from other teachers, used repetitive templates for each week lesson with no data. If I wanted to learn chemistry that way I could’ve honestly gone on Edx.org for FREE and probably have learned the curriculum better. I might of missed 1 assignment and handed in 1 assignment 10 mins late and didn’t receive the grade or support needed. But unfortunately as a paying student I just have to deal with it, 2k down the drain! Funny thing I am also a teacher during covid and actually work in the building with student and never would I have ever made my students feel isolated like this professor did. I’ve never seen or heard my chemistry teachers voice but I’m pretty sure they got paid every two weeks while there’s probably many qualified teachers that could have done a way better job. I was warned about this professor but I learned the hard way. The school overall has a nice faculty and I feel like the majority do care. This is unfortunate when professor get so accustomed to a repetitive lifestyle because blackboard actually graded my exams so again not sure what some professor did during Covid behind the scene and so-called virtual teaching. This is a a good school to start or to get the credits needed for a post-Bach. I decided to go to a private school with a more dedicated team and more virtual teaching experience.Dignora Castillo

I was a potential international student and found Manchester Community College a great place to go. I called the first time and wasn’t able to talk to the responsible for international students but left my phone number and email. Umesh sent me an email saying he would give me a call. He did, two days later and was rude and impatient since the moment I picked up the phone and was acting like he was doing me a favor to call me. He said I should go back to my country and take my visa there instead of changing my status here, which is not up to him, was questioning how I was gonna become a student and more. I can’t even explain how rude and disrespectful he was to me who was just trying to make an appointment to go to the campus and get more informations in person about fees and the I20. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, specially for international students! Very disappointedRayane Michelle

This place is a perfect example of “you get what you pay for”. I attended September 2009 – May 2018 (with a 3 year gap from 2012-2015). The hospitality teachers and department head were wonderful, and a lot of my general Ed teachers were amazing too and I have nothing but great things to say about the teachers. However, the registrar office and academic advisors were a nightmare to deal with. No one ever smiles, my message NEVER got relayed to the right person, and it was such a headache to deal with offices equivalent to dealing with the DMV. They also claimed that when you graduate you can transfer your credits to a state college which is false. Some of the credits transferred, but classes like Math don’t transfer and I have to take a placement test to get into the same exact math class I took at Gateway and passed the class with an A. The bookstore staff was the most incapable, rude, useless group of people. Graduation was a completely unorganized joke – they told graduates to arrive 2 hours early to stand in a parking lot with no instruction and 1 porta potty for about 300 people. They also only announce 1 of your degrees – so if you have 3 degrees they won’t even take the extra 5 seconds to announce all 3 (I thought graduation was supposed to recognize your achievements?) I would have never wasted my time going to graduation if I knew how pathetic it would be. Parking on campus in New Haven was crazy and the lot constantly overflows into the Temple Street lot so you get to walk in stairways that smell like urine with bums roaming the lot and drunk people stumbling to their car after your class at 9:30 at night with no security guards to get to your car. Literally no security whatsoever like your completely on your own in a public lot in the heart of New Haven. Like most schools, they don’t allow weapons inside the building so you don’t even have a way to defend yourself if you get approached in the lot which will happen at some point. There were also hospitality classes that I had to buy things out of pocket and was promised reimbursement that never happened.Nina Tiso

I loved working with the children in the Early Learning Center, but the adults in the classroom didn't really treat me that well. They didn't really accommodating me that well when it came to tasks such as setting the table for breakfast,lunch, and snack. A coworker got nasty because I wasnt moving fast enough for her. I'm visually impaired and I have to take my time because of my vision. I had to complain about this coworker 2 times. Another thing that didnt make sense was I had to walk to the other side of campus to eat lunch for my 30 minute break. The teacher of the classroom would get mad at me for being late because I am a slow eater and I cant move fast again because of my bad vision. student teachers aren't allowed to eat in the teachers lounge. I shouldn't have had to complain to my boss about eating in the teacher lounge. This place needs to be more accommodating to student teachers with disabilities and staff needs to be more compassionate. I am very glad that I don't work at this place anymore! I wish the adults would learn compassion from the children!Jasmyn Polite

Beautiful atmosphere. I was in their old building on Long wharf years ago, and seeing how they've grown and progressed into what I consider a university now, is life changing for the people attending this college. For a community college, they offer so much for the students with assistance as well as their educational endeavors. Their cafe offers delicious varieties which includes a wide range of healthy choices. Very inviting environment for the students to learn in. I get the feeling that this University cares about the students that attend itDelbra Wilson

The college will do anything to get your money and be admitted, and that's where the niceties end. Their website is contradictory, and they are slow to respond to questions and concerns. You can't trust what they say either because half the time they tell you information that is incorrect. They also rip students off by charging a semester fee of $245/semester (do legitimate colleges do that? NO), and they force you to take 2 courses through the college. One being an online "cornerstone" course where you have to spend about $1350 in ADDITION to the 2 English course that are required by the college. It's basically a dumbed down version of the 2 english course requirements (which can be taken elsewhere), so they can make money out of you. I would STRONGLY recommend getting anything that is said or promised in writing (or record it), because they will make mistakes, and then deny it when called out on it. They are not really professional, and the entire experience is amateur at best. That said, I was able to get a degree for less than $5,000 (I tested out of all the requirements except for the two requirements), but if I could do it again, I would have gone with Thomas Edison State College (which is a state school in New Jersey for testing out of a degree like Charter Oak) instead which has no residency requirements, and can be completely tested out of. I also think the name sounds more legit than "Charter Oak."M M

I did have a helpful advisor, however, the financial aid (FA) department was difficult to get in touch with. I had to go down to the New Britain office in person 3 times and then call & email the office several times before getting even one issue resolved. After a year of their callous responses, I sent an email to the FA office to complain. They basically responded to me by calling me a liar and trying to discredit me! It was terribly unprofessional. Charter Oak treated me as just another faceless number. The lack of personalization and unfriendly response from the employees showed me that I did not matter. I felt mistreated on their end. Don’t waste your money on a school that will refuse to hear you out and better their efforts. I wasn’t even looking for anything in return; I just wanted them to know that they needed improvement. Instead, they lost me as a student at their school.Moneke Ingriselli

There are a lot of areas where I think Charter Oak State College could improve but, the fact of the matter is, I got my BS here and probably spent less than 5,000 dollars. TOTAL! All these people complaining about the cost of higher education need to look at schools like Charter Oak. They have little in the way of credit-residency requirements — I was only required to take eight credits in-house — and they let you test out of as many credits as you like. For a fast, self-directed learner such as myself, it was perfect. My only caution is that I've found it very difficult to get into graduate school with my degree, despite some excellent grades and standardized test scores. The world still isn't prepared for educational paradigms like this.R Williams

Went to their Truck Driver Training School in '16. George McMillan was my instructor and he was very helpful in helping me learn to drive a truck. He and the other instructors were very helpful and patient with the students and made sure we were able to do our skills to the best of our abilities. I try to tell people i come across looking into getting into trucking here in the Tulsa to go to Central TechR.A. Tillman

Worst school ever. Dont waist your money. If u aren't sponsored they leave you in the classroom with the recruits while the ones that are sponsored are outside practicing driving. And they are dont treat women and men equally. Wost experience ever this is the second time I review this college I guess my first one got Deleted.M E

I was a student there back in 2005 for someone who never drove a truck it took me the entire month to become a truck driver. Staff were great class size was only 8 students. Facility has everything needed to train. Great small town great people from staff to locals.Giovanni Cardone

I cannot say enough great things about this store, the staff, and their products. My in-store experience has been incredible. Every time I go, I am approached and helped the second I walk in to the door. On my most recent visit, Marsi and Caron were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, kind and patient. They both listened to what my needs were and made incredibly great suggestions. With 20 minutes, I made a decision and the product was scheduled to be delivered to my mother that afternoon. The process could not have been easier. Marsi and Caron communicated with me throughout the day regarding the delivery and everything went perfectly. I was truly stunned at how incredibly easy everything was. The delivery experience was as exceptional. Dylan and Dean were incredibly friendly and respectful. They were very knowledgeable about the product and gave my mother detailed instructions. I was unbelievably impressed with their attentiveness and professionalism. On The Mend is an exceptional vendor. I am so grateful they are so close and convenient.Bridget Henry

Gerry and I were very impressed with the knowledge and expertise of Marsi and the staff of On The Mend, Southbury. It was wonderful to actually try out the scooter we were interested in. Aside from the professionalism, what came through loud and clear was their caring and compassion for the customer. We were so confident that we did purchase the scooter. It was delivered promptly by 2 very nice young, caring gentlemen. Dom and Marc. We discovered their was a battery issue. We called the next morning and they sent their service technician, Rob, before noon. Rob was also extremely professional, knowledgeable, and caring!! A minor problem that was resolved quickly. I call this outstanding customer service!!!!! We highly recommend On The Mend!!!Gerry Craig

I wanted to rent a motorized wheelchair over the Memorial Day weekend for a concert I was attending with my daughter and oh boy, was I pleasantly surprised! They gave me a spectacular deal over a full week! I would have never been able to go if I didn’t have a wheelchair and we had the best time! The staff in their Southbury office were more than friendly, so helpful, patient and truly interested in me! You can’t fake that level of kindness!! I was definitely impressed and would use them again for any medical equipment I may need and highly recommend them!! Thank you On The Mend!! Linda Clark

In and out in less than an hour with all four wisdom teeth! Treated very well and the care was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and efficient. This group are the only oral surgeons we use and have always had a great experience. The consultations are also very informative and everyone is accommodating with my daughter and son’s school schedule. My mind is at ease with the staff and providers always. They also will answer any insurance and care questions without hesitation. An excellent experience!Christine Reilly

Great experience with the extraction of my wisdom teeth. The whole staff was extremely friendly and made sure I was comfortable during the whole appointment. It was such a smooth process and I was in no pain at all following my extractions. Huge thank you to Dr. Saggese and his staff, would definitely recommend to anyone!!Klaudia Toma

The kindest, most considerate team ive met in a dental office. From the lavendar calming smelly (thank you so much Lisa) , which i appreciated beyond measure, and it helped alot, to the spacer to bite down on. I have not had a more positive experience having a tooth extracted. I would highly recommend this practice.sally hopkins

I started the electrical program in June of 2021 and had a pleasant experience to start. I was in a class with about twelve other students and felt that I was learning and retaining information adequately partly due to the class size. Fast forward a few months and our class has almost quadrupled in size. Half of the class is required to sit in one room and watch the instructor on a projector while he is in another room with the other half of the class. It is now to the point where students have to rely on other students to teach them certain things because of how thin the instructors have been stretched. I, as well as numerous other students, have voiced their displeasure with administration multiple times but we've essentially been told that it's something were gonna have to deal with. I can't speak highly enough on behalf of the instructors Mr. Sterling and Mr. DeFelice who clearly care about their student's education, but it is evident that Lincoln Tech (New Britain) as a whole does not. I can't speak on behalf of the other Lincoln Tech campuses but I imagine they are run similar. If you are someone looking at tech schools I implore you to look at all your options.Tyler Mattioda

When I first applied it was to go into the nursing program but I was discouraged by the person I met with. She said since I was a single parent it would be hard for me to take and keep up with classes and referred me to apply to the medical assistant program instead which I reluctantly did. (Big mistake) even though I had made deans list, was one of the top in the class grades wise and had a 3.76 gpa I was placed last for an "externship" and then when placed I was placed in a small office that didn't need an extra medical assistant. I didn't get a job and wasn't helped securing one either. I was so pissed I didn't even show to graduation! I also aced my Registration exam the first time and was THE only person in my class to get registered or certified. I wasted time away from my child and had to take out two loans I'm STILL paying for with nothing to show. I always discourage people from going here because it's not worth it. And the kicker!!! Placed want at least a year or 2 experience before they hire you so it's extremely hard to find work when you only get less than a months training in your field! Would've been better off at a community college or 4 year school.kanosha norman

I looked into this school a few years ago, and when i showed up to take the tour they said i first had to sign in by writing my name and phone number down on the sign-in sheet. I felt uncomfortable doing this, but they wouldn't give me the tour unless I provided them with my phone number for some reason. Well, it turns out that the reason is so that they can continue to sent you text messages begging you to attend their school, even several years after you already decided not to. Blocking the number doesn't work either as they use a different number each time. If you decide to look into this school, i *highly* recommend providing them with a fake phone number when you sign in.Andrew Preston

I’ve debated on weather or not to post but everyone asks me if I would recommend this school. The teachers there are amazing, they want to make sure you learn and know what you are doing. To be honest once you get to clinical they forget about you. I asked for help on multiple occasions because I was struggling with a protocol, I was told “we will put a schedule for you to come to the school with a teacher to learn more and you will go to the hospital one day a week” this was in addition to be already being at a clinic site 5 days a week. That never happened, I was told during one meeting when I asked to switch to vascular so I can have that experience on my resume that if the general site I was at now liked me I should stay because if I make a good impression they will let other students go to that site. I give credit to my teachers but that’s about the only good thing I can say about this school. I’ve had employers say they won’t hire if you go to this school because of the reputation. I know they’ve made changed and added staff since I graduated last summer but I would suggest making sure you do all your research on what accreditation’s the school actually has before making your choice on where to get your education. I thankfully was able to find a job on my own many months afterwards. Do your research and look up their accreditation’s before signing any contract with them.Lindsey Genovese

I recently graduated from AIHT, Cardiovascular Technology program. I did my clinical hours at Windham Hospital in Willimantic where I got hired right after. During covid, I realized how important the healthcare field was so I decided that I wanted to pursue my career in the medical field. After searching for and touring a few schools in my area I chose the AIHT ultrasound program. Lauren and Ravish were very helpful explaining all the steps and processes. As a single mother, AIHT’s flexible hybrid program enabled me to balance my personal life and school schedule really well. Upon completion of my clinical hours I felt really confident about my knowledge and felt comfortable taking the CCI board exam. I scored a 845 and officially became Registered Cardiac Sonographer. Finally, I want to thank all of the instructors and staff at AIHT for enabling me to start my new journey in the medical field as a Cardiac Sonographer.Yossinee Israsena

I'm very happy I found AIHT school which fit into my schedule and was close to my house. All the professors and administrators were good and helpful. I'm very THANKFUL for having KRISTEN & DONALD as ECHO scanning instructors because they really benefited me and made a great impact in my career. They are very knowledgeable and have plenty years of experience. They were very helpful and prepared me for the hospital environment. Stamford hospital crew were amazing and I can't thank them enough for helping me pursue my true dream. I'm overall thankful for the program. It is deff not easy just be prepared to put in the time, effort, and to study hard.Madeleyn C

Dr Seth Neubardt and Dr Jack Stern recently performed spinal fusion surgery for my partner to repair damage from a fall off of a roof. The surgery was more difficult than anticipated and he had a complication. Drs Neubardt and Stern were wonderful throughout. They explained what would happen before, during and after the surgery. Because of COVID I was not allowed to wait at the hospital so when the surgery took longer than expected they had someone call me for an update so I would know how he was doing. Once the surgery was finished Dr Neubardt called to let me know how it went. Once he was home Drs Neubardt and Stern were readily available on the phone for questions and advice. They stayed in contact multiple times a day through calls and texts until the complication was resolved. It was incredibly comforting to me as the caregiver to know I could make a call and speak to the surgeon himself, not a service or someone uninvolved in the case. I really feel that they care for their patients. We were treated with respect and care throughout his treatment. I will highly recommend BSSNY and particularly Drs Neubardt and Stern to anyone needing spinal surgery.Lynnette Benner

This was my second fusion with Dr. Neubardt and Dr. Stern. 11 years ago they performed a cervical fusion which I have recovered from completely. Over the past 8 years I have struggled with lower back pain and was seeing local area doctors. After exploring virtually every treatment option other than surgery (none of which provided any relief), the pain continued to worsen. One of these local doctors informed me the only option left was a lumbar fusion. Due to my fantastic experience with my cervical fusion, I knew the only doctors I trusted to perform my lumbar fusion were Dr. Neubardt and Dr. Stern. This was the right choice, as my experience was just as good now as it was 11 years ago. The office staff was attentive and extremely helpful pre and post surgery, and the surgery itself was a success. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that experiences back or neck pain!!!! I would like to sincerely thank Alison, Dr. Neubardt, Dr. Stern, and the fantastic staff at White Plains Hospital for making my surgery as seamless and easy as possible!!!!Chris Leem

Dr.Neubardt and Dr. Stern are extremely skilled, talented, honest and straight forward surgeons. Both of them have saved my life when eight years ago they have successfully performed ACDF due to spinal cord compression caused by a cervical herniated disc at the C5 and C6 level. I owe them my life, and will be forever grateful to them! Unfortunately and fortunately … Unfortunately, last week I had to consult with them once again after receiving a MRI report indicating a disc fragment compression on my spinal cord in the thoracic region this time, specifically at the T6 level. Fortunately for me, the two of them agreed to a consult during which they have presented a very clear step by step action plan giving me more than just hope; they gave me a peace of mind. I can’t wait for the surgery to take place, so that I can regain my life – pain free – once again… Heartfelt thank-you to Alison for all her help. She is a gem!Beata Bak Mione

I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at the Walmart supercenter located in Naugatuck Connecticut. When I first walked in it was clear that the store was going to be amazing. The newly designed entrance Was exquisite, and made me excited for the journey that awaited me. The employees were very kind in not assisting me, they seem to not know where anything is and we’re very unhelpful, but what else can you ask for from a Walmart. I was able to grab the last gallon of spring water on the shelf with some help from my tall friend, who happens to be a legal citizen in all 50 states, And who just recently and legally went to Mexico. Another large man also helped in the hunting down of the spring water. He was also legal in all 50 states and territories, and recently acquired a new USA passport. Unfortunately the same friend encountered an incident when they tried to help me find the Goya brand pineapple juice. They were able to find where the item would be, but alas they were sold out. Very helpful staff member told us to shut up and leave in the true Walmart fashion. Another negative about my experience was that I did not have cell service, and could not use my Grubhub app. I went on a lovely trip to the garden center in my stay, where an employee walked in stared at us for 20 seconds and then left. Overall I would read my journey in the Walmart Naugatuck Connecticut location a four out of five stars, but will only return if I am in the area I will not drive the three hour journey that I took today to explore the store again.Ipod Master929

Seems like this store legit does not hire anybody, how in the past month when I went to electronics for my 4K and then today for my Series S, did it take over 30 minutes for me to get help? Like at that point I might as well have hit somewhere else for a 4K and just drove over to Gamestop on this same road for a Series S. I don’t get it lol if even the customers can tell yall gotta hire more people that’s how you know. Product itself is always good but this is an incredibly inconvenient storedanilo assis

Not one of the best Walmarts I’ve been to but not bad either. Some meat was too expensive. We didn’t find everything we were looking for in the sizes we were looking for. They needed T-shirts and a bigger variety of things. Like shavers, men’s tank tops, rear car wipers. On top of that some of the signs are missing so you’re not really sure what aisle to look in for certain things.Lee Stat

The way that I would like to start this off is by saying this is the best school I’ve ever attended. Kathy from administration helped me by making sure I understood everything that I needed to. Then Whitley and Jenna from financial aid helped me by making everything in that area easy as pie. After that came one of the best teachers I’ve ever had Beth. She made sure that we understood that the Medical Coding and Billing program was not going to be easy and to be ready to not have a social life outside of school which was not a joke at all. My program was supposed to be 40 weeks (10 months) and with the pandemic it got extended to 15 months. After everything the school was very helpful and also made sure we were safe when the school opened up after being closed due to the pandemic. Emilie and Beth are always there to help out and even do one on ones if needed. The biggest shout out is to the owner of the school Chris Coutts. This is because after I completed my program I was offered to take 3 practice CPC exams and if I passed the owner would pay to take the actual CPC exam. This was completely out side out our program cost. Thanks to Chris Coutts I took my CPC exam on 12/4/2021 and got my results on 12/10/2021 that said I passed. If you are looking to start a new chapter in life and are thinking about Medical Coding and Billing I strongly encourage you to go to American Institute.Rotsen Pizarro

I absolutely love The American Institute. The West Hartford Campus is absolutely amazing. Ever since enrolling with Jason my life has been positively progressing. Jason signed me up back in august. He told me how great this school is as well as the director of my program who is also my teacher, Beth Canny. She is an outstanding, loving, caring teacher. She makes herself available for help at any hour of the day. She always has an open door, and can always assure you that you are capable of this program. She’s hands down the most amazing teacher I’ve personally ever had and I’m so grateful to be apart of the AI family. Jason was awesome in telling me about the program and how nice this school truly is. The school always has its students at heart, and not only while in the building but at home as well. They are always finding ways to help students needs. I am constantly telling family and friends about how amazing the American Institute is.Danielle Dzienciol

I started at American Institute in September 21' for medical assisting on an impulse decision & it's been one of the best choices I've ever made. I called and within 30 minutes Jason called me back to see the campus. He made my choice to register so so easy. I've always wanted to be in the medical field and this school just felt like the place to start my journey. My teachers have been AMAZING. They are so so knowledgable and if they see you care, they will help you succeed by all means. Just in 2 months I've learned so much. I've never done so well in school and I am just so grateful to have found this school. I have also made amazing friendships with likeminded and motivated women. Ignore the bad reviews..If you put in the work, you will have a great experience. If you are motivated and want to start your career in the medical field, this is an amazing place to start!!!!Olivia Lanza

I ordered the first set, came in cracked, I came back and ordered another set, also came cracked. I had to pay for the second set before getting a refund since it was delivered. Luckily they waived the delivery fee. I have not yet get a refund and I have to order another set, I have to pay for the third. So now I am racking up my credit card, I ordered the first set 560, and second set another 560, and now I have to pay for the third set. I have not got any refunds, I understand that because it has to be physically at the store, now they do not have this in the store and I have to pay for ordering online, and they said it will be special delivery. I am not sure the third set will come in good. This has delayed the project a week so far, and God knows how long before getting the third set. I am really disappointed with Homedepot customer service. I will be calling the homedpot customer service, see what happens.Mahmoud Abbas

Always have what I'm looking for, the staff is very knowledgeable and very courteous to everyone. I go at least once a month for odds and ends around the house or a tool for work. It's also less expensive than my local hardware store. Not to mention if i need something and dont have time to stop by they can deliver it to my front door. I believe its free delivery over a certain amount but i know i have never had to pay for shipping. They also cut keys. They have a great selection for gardening, including veggies and trees. I re-did my patio for $200 and it looks amazing thanks to the advice of the staff (a few helped at the same time).randy frazier

Today I went and bought some lattice that I was very sure would fit my car and was struggling to have it do so. I was ready to return it. A nice man named Julio came up and offered to help. He could of easily walked by like many others did but offered to help. We fit in the car but he then pointed out how unsafe it would be to drive and suggest loading it on top. He helped me get it up there and I secured it down. He was a huge help and I couldn’t have gotten it home home without him. I hope he is recognized.harrison mormile

This is the worst store to shop at now. It used to be great. I had problems with two pickups there so I did in-store shopping today and the shelves weren't stocked properly there was only three registers open plus the self checkout the lines were going around the store when I asked somebody about opening more registers they said that they had so many people that called out so they couldn't open any more registers and I told him that I was going to give them a bad review on Google and that's what I'm doing. Not only do they not run their store right anymore but they never answer their phones but they say we're here to serve you and do our best they can't even do their least I was really upset today because it used to be my favorite place to go but that Walmart has now been crossed off my list and I only live down the street from there I will travel to another Walmart and shop there from now on. And I forgot to add while I was shopping going through the aisles that were next to empty I was being dripped on from the ceiling I don't know that place needs to be shut down it's almost a health hazard it is a health hazard I wish I took pictures while I was there and I'm sorry but I won't be back there to take pictures I'm done with themBrenda Lee

I am at a lost for words for this place. If I can give a review with no stars at all. This is the worst Walmart I have every been to for online and in-store shopping. The children working there and the lack of manager attention to situations that need to be addressed is disturbing. I asked for a manager numerous times to keep getting the run around. Then I called thinking I would get a bbetter result and I was apssed around from depatrment to department. To be told that I was lazy and should do my won shopping. Mind you this was durign COVID! Never again have I been back. Just a lost generation of children working for no reason.Kiera Keene

Terrible and getting worse. They clearly don’t check any returns. I bought a ladder and light yesterday to do some work in my attic and this is what I got. A ladder with a bent leg and a heavily used light that’s missing a charger. I’m mad at myself for not checking things first but the place was so mobbed I wanted to get out of there. Everything’s locked up now because of thieves even the dove soap. Soap that I was looking at as the girl closed the glass then another employee joked that he needed some and I said me too and the employees rolled her eyes and walked away. After these returns I’m never going to this Walmart again.Jason Diggs

I purchased the Invacare Perfecto2 Oxygen concentrator in March, 2022, received it April 25, 2022, as a second unit to keep in our camper. My husband took it out of the box upon receipt. It was not damaged in shipping and appeared to be fine. I did not turn the unit on or use it until 3 months later when we took a trip in our camper. The first time I turned it on it started a short beep followed by a long pause, followed by a short beep at about the 30 minute mark. It continued this way until about the 1 hour mark when it changed to a long, loud beep, which signals you must turn the unit off immediately. I used it for an hour at a time like this for the duration of our trip. When we returned home I contacted the retailer, Health Products for You, and also Invacare directly. Invacare says they have a 3 year warranty but what they don't say is that it is for PARTS ONLY!! I was told I would have to pay shipping to the repair facility in Texas, pay the labor to replace the parts, and pay to have it shipped back to me. The shipping one way is going to be over 100.00, and God only knows how much labor they'll charge me – on a unit that was defective right out of the box and shows 16 hours of usage. I asked for a call tag, and was told they don't provide them. At this point I'd be happy to return this defective unit for a refund and wash my hands of it, but I'm sure they'd want me to pay to ship it back to them as well. Invacare may have been good in the past but they no longer are. Don't make the same mistake I did – order another brand from another retailer besides Health Products for You.D Miller

Be sure to look through the reviews on this site. Many, many 1 star reviews. Wish I would have checked before I went with them. Never will order from them again. MOST HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Ten days after placing my order I tried to track my order on their website. Their tracking system did not work, their chat line did not work, no one ever replied, and they did not reply to 3 emails I sent. I called and talked to a very rude person at their call center, who could only tell me it was in Portland, Oregon, no idea when I would receive it and frankly acted like I was wasting her time. I asked to talk to someone about the negative experience I had in ordering from them and she said she was so so sorry in a voice that let me know she really wasn't. After I insisted that she get a manager for me to talk to, she tried to talk me out of it, then put me on hold. I waited for 5 minutes and realized she probably had no intention of getting a manager and hung up. Maybe they have good products and maybe most of the time there is no problem in them getting to you if you place an order. However, if you have any problems with your order or concerns, just know that this company really doesn't care or have anything in place to help you resolve them.Bluebird

So I see that Health Care Products For You has quite a few bad reviews with folks questioning how legitimate they are. My hope here is to give an honest review and my experience so far. I ordered stuff earlier this week and after two days went buy I sent an email via live chat with no response. About 2-4AM CST an email with the order status and tracking information was sent to me. My first package showed up today and three more packages will arrive by Friday evening. I’m very pleased so far. The items that were shipped so far shipped fast, arrived in great shape, and were affordable. After reviewing the invoice and shipping information it looks like they drop ship products from regional warehouses which makes sense. The companies refund policies, RMA, and re-stocking fees are all available on it’s websites. These are medical supplies and as such there are stringent requirements for returning medical supplies. So far I’m quite pleased and will use them to re-supply my emergency medical kit in the future.James Kwolik

My wife and son had an appointment scheduled for 12/23 in the Pediatric Specialty Center & we always go to Park Ave in Trumbull for his check-ups (he has an autoimmune blood disorder). Not only have we tried to attend appointments multiple times with no success, we have been turned away by security for bringing his twin brother with us twice, and they send no confirmation for appointment. Then today my wife gets to the building for what we thought was his hematology appointment, but the front desk schedules for his appointment to be in New Haven and we’ve never been there in our life. The reception at this office have no sympathy for the sick patients that they see day to day, and were quick to turn my son away without treatment. He has had enlarged lymph nodes for over two months with nobody to see him or want to see him. STAY AWAY. We will be taking our son elsewhere.Jayson Velez

I accompanied my parents here the other day, as my father needed to have a fairly comprehensive MRI procedure done, and I must say that this is one beautiful facility. The Meditating Garden is very nice, and quite suitable for it's intent as I spent a good twenty minutes there sitting by the waterfalls, and the art work which was on display throughout was quite pleasing as well. On the ride home, my parents both informed me that the level of quality of service was exceptional, the staff was excellent, all good things were said. I myself felt at absolute peace while here, and know that if I ever need any kind of serious testing done it will be at this center. Highly recommended, and not just for the services offered but also for the wonderful setting of this facility which makes the patient feel very much at ease.George Waters

The building is nice and pretty clean, but i hope you are good at maps and directions once inside. Parking is an absolute nightmare. If you have mobility issues, small children, a stroller/wheelchair, a lot of stuff to carry, etc. plan ahead; give yourself an extra 20 minutes at least. Security and main building reception are some of the least helpful and miserable people I’ve ever seen. I could perform a whole comedy set on how bad they are. It’s like they’re prisoners there lol. I asked one to repeat the literal 5-7 part directions to my appointment inside the building and you would’ve thought I asked her to eat a dead mouse. It’s worse than when you ask a Jamaican restaurant too many questions. Iykyk. I watched some wild racist stuff from security too once so BIPOC be careful there.Lux X

Kathy Trister Director of Career Services Is amazing, she is professional ,knowledgeable and resourceful.She connected her students with multiple employers and is an excellent mediator between employers and students. She provided excellent service and support for students entering the workforce. Al Mallozzi Electrical dept – Shelton Program Manager was also phenomenal ,he’s caring, knowledgeable and professional. He is instrumental in having students complete the program and follows up with this his students throughout the hiring process. He maintain constant communication with his students while after they have completed Lincoln as an amazing support System.Kadian Weir

Lincoln Tech at shelton is the best nursing school for LPN . The teachers are awesome, they teach very well and are helpful .

I don’t know what these bad reviews are all about, but I got my LPN license a few years ago and I am now working in the field earning a comfortable wage. I felt supported and had all of my questions answered here. My favorite clinical teacher was Mrs. Lisi, she really showed me the ropes. Also, It was accredited as I am now in the process of obtaining my RN. schools can’t be perfect all of the time. There’s always going to be minor annoyances, that doesn’t warrant a negative review. I even recommended my friends to go here.Emily Kent

Very attentive. Each person I dealt with performed their job to the level best you could hope for. I was there for 3 days recently for my hip replacement. I have to go back for the other one soon. I would only go there. I feel fortunate I was lucky enough to go there. Thank you!Carolina

I had a great experience at Mcgivney Center. All the staff, from walking in to leaving were amazing. Caring, professional and great people. My surgery went well. Dr Gardner is wonderful. She is genuine, down to earth and a great surgeon. Highly recommend her and Mcgivney CenterLaura Seekings

I cannot say enough about the staff there! My surgery was Jan. 22. From the LAZ Fly dude who greeted us as we pulled up to the front desk nurse and everyone else inside, wayyy too many to name!Liz Shulman

I went to Housatonic right out of high school. From fall 2012 to winter 2015, I attended. The professors were professional and helpful. I could email or call or see them during their office hours if I needed to speak (I prefer in person). All the professors I had were passionate and knowledgeable. I transferred from the science program to the fine arts program. The school and my advisor were helpful in this transition. (Personally, every process/interaction was quick and easy) It was a great choice for me. I found the fine arts department to be a great group of people. Very dedicated and all successful in their fields. They didn't just become teachers, they had/have careers and are extremely talented. A little quirky, but what artist isn't? They really helped me improve my art and gave me advice on selling my art. Aside from the actual classes, my favorite part was the fantastic cafeteria. Honestly, I still go back! I still wander around downtown sometimes – that's where HCC is. Its not idyllic but its not as tough as the streets of Manhattan. There's a few oddballs but in 2 years of night courses I never felt unsafe. There's good restaurants and a few shops, concerts in the summer. I graduated and transferred to an art college, almost all of my credits transferred. I'm at a smaller college now, to get my BA, and I miss the convenience of being in a downtown area, near a park and print shop, and really miss the cafe !Christine Jones

This place is the worst. I had the worst experience with an advisor who tried to advise me in the lobby of the building. She basically asked me why I was there…. Then tried to advise me to go to every other department so she would have to do the bare minimum??? Security guards at every door, not kind ones either they definitely don't make it a warm and friendly campus. Seems like they're trying to protect themselves from more that just Covid. The financial aid office is a mess, and the enrollment process was ugh…. They basically didn't know how to add my Transcript credit aside from them sort of losing my Transcripts which the head guy admitted, and looked at me asking if I had any unofficial ones on me…?. The 3 stars are for their professors, they were lovely. The school is trash though go to NCC instead especially if you value professionalism and can do advisement.E J

Housatonic community college Is one of the Best Colleges I have attended. Academically, and socially, this college is well rounded. HCC has Great teachers, that honestly want to see their students succeed.i can only tell you this because this was me, a student who was extremely stressed about the material and course work. Enrolling into HCC from a pervious college, I did not have the funds for school. when I applied for a HCC scholarship I was more than fortunate To have Received grant.YES from School. I have totally made the correct choice to attend HCC. I was nervous at first, but it’s the realization Of coming out of your comfort zone, to achieve your goals and aspirations. I am truly blessed and more than thankful to attend Housatonic community college. Thanks for providing me a nice environment, and more important great food from the great chefs in the kitchen!Yessica URENA-almonte
