20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Pittsburgh, PA (2022 Updated)

I was very happy with Kris Jackson she did my tour and always answered me when I had any questions. I started in January of 2021 still in the mist of COVID. I had a good experience, be prepared NOTHING IS EASY you have to study study study. I feel like most of the teachers there really do want to see you do good and will genuinely try to do a lot to help. I struggled a lot but there is always tutoring and someone willing to help. With every school comes drama that has nothing to do with school but just to know. There’s a lot of commitment when signing up so just know what your getting yourself into. The school teaches you a lot you need to know and has plenty of resources if you need more help. Only thing I wish I knew was more things that we could’ve been taught for the “real world” like a lot we get taught we need to know but there is some small things we have to know like trying to find veins by ourself or little tricks other than that I had a good experience. I would recommend if you are able to commit to a long hard program it is very rewarding in the long end.Emily Pham

As a former graduate of VTI and soon to be practicing veterinarian medicine for about a year I cannot thank the staff and mentors enough for caring and teaching me the skills that I use in everyday practice. They were always so thoughtful and there when you needed a helping hand wether it was something as big as tutoring before all classes started or as small as just small words of advice to keep students going through the program. The classes are geared towards exactly what you need to know and all the teachers seem to be very knowledgeable in which subjects they teach. If you are as lucky as me throughout the program you may even adopt your own 4 legged bestfriend you met during kennel duty!! 🙂Haidyn Craig

The Vet Tech Institute is an incredible school that teaches the reality of the animal career field. It teaches self discipline, personal instinct to trust, and an incredible amount of respect for the workers in any animal field. The staff are so incredibly patient and truly show their passion to teach and to love the animals we work with on an everyday basis. Being able to work with animals everyday in class only better creates a self confidence that has to be grown. This institute ensured me a successful career working with animals that no other school could do. I happily recommend it to anyone who is driven and ready to put in the work!Kelcey Harris

What a great group of Nurses! These ladies and Gentlemen are what keeps hospitals running! The heart and soul of the medical system! I spent a few hours with this great group of people today for a test and they made me feel relaxed and cared for! I wish I could remember each of their names to personally thank them but sadly they gave me some milk of amnesia and I woke up no remembering my own name! Thanks for all the care and thanks for the great nap!Stanley Rucci

Im really glad I found this school to pursue my ultrasound career. The teachers and staff were amazing, our ultrasound teachers were there for us 100% of the time. Mary Beth stayed after class and tutored me almost everyday for a few hours. The faculty at this school truly care about their students and the education they are receiving, they go above and beyond to help us achieve our goals. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to go to school for ultrasound. They have a variety of machines to learn on as well as phantoms. It’s very challenging but very rewarding, you get what you put into it!victoria arnold

I come for a massage every 2 to 3 wks and every student/massage therapist that I have had has been very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and respectful but most importantly each person truly wants to be good at what they do! Not any of them would get any complaints from me! I have been very happy going there and meeting each one and my massage experience’s have really helped my neck and back pain! Thank you so much!Karen Kimet

Great Lakes offers a wide variety of programs to get you started in the medical field. I toured the facility with the intent on becoming a nurse, but after seeing everything Great Lakes offered I am now working towards my associates in surgical technology. I would also point out that the entire staff puts a lot of effort into everything they do because they truly want everybody to succeed in anything they do.joshua weunski

The alumni job assistance is truly useless. There are quite literally only a small handful of jobs on the job board, all of which are interns and/or entry level. I understand this is for students, and to avoid lawsuits for misleading about job placement numbers post grad, but PTC claims they have a strong alumni program and support. The lie detector test found that this was a lie. I would also like to mention that the faculty at the time CALLED THE POLICE ON ME and attempted to PRESS CHARGES when I participated in their FACULTY SPONSORED HACKING EVENT. Exposing real vulnerabilities in the PTC network was apparently upsetting to them, despite this being a school sponsored and authorized event. While the charges were not filed/dropped, I was still publicly accused and forced to speak to law enforcement as a child who did not know my rights at the time. I would not recommend this organization. I would be interested in participating in any class action suit that would be filed by any interested party.Thomas Mullen

This is a fantastic school and very different than my experience at a state school. I started at a public college here in PA and most of my professors didn't care, I even had some that mentioned they didn't have an attendance policy because they get paid no matter what grade I get. It is also tough to get help when you have a few hundred people in your class. It lead to some of the worst grades in my life. After 2 years I was tired of wasting time and money so I dropped out of MU and later enrolled at Pittsburgh Technical College. The teachers got to know each of us in the class pretty well and many of them would reach out if a student missed class to make sure they were ok. The hands on aspect of the school was great as I prefer to learn by doing things instead of reading about them. The internship was also a major benefit, especially when it was time to get a job and I had experience that other candidates didn't. It was a fantastic experience that I wish I knew about sooner.Denslow Cup

I wish we were allowed to have other students in the dorms. As of right now with the current COVID situation, only students who live in the respective dorm are allowed in making it hard to meet other students in the building or even on the floor. Residence life makes it hard to have a bonfire or even cook outside. We were told that we weren’t allowed to use the grills on campus even though we had been using them for well over an hour. I love the education that I am getting, however, there needs to be an understanding that we as students need to have the ability to interact with each other.Stevan Pastar

I’m Paul wife, Ann (Annette). This hospital is amazing!!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Everyone there is so kind. I would like to mention a few, Stacey in radiology. She does my spinal lumbars and I’m not talking just one , right now I get every Monday for chemo injections to my spinal fluid. She is tremendous and you feel so comfortable with her. She gives you that feeling everything will be okay. She definitely knows what she is doing and you can tell she has a lot of compassion for her patients. I’m always so happy when I see she is doing my spinal… ❤️ Katelyn RN in ICU. She shines and has this happiness about her that makes me know with her caring for me, I’ll be fine. She answers all my questions and if she doesn’t know the answer she’ll tell me and tell me she’ll find out and let me know. And she always follows through. She is a great ICU nurse!!!! I would give her so many stars if I could. ❤️ Than tonight I got to meet another ICU Night nurse Patrick. Wow he is awesome!!! He definitely loves what he is doing because it runs off of him onto his patients. I can feel his concern for me when he comes and takes care of me. I never feel like I’m a bother or an nuisance around him. He always shows up with a smile and a joy on helping. He’s a great nurse and I would also give him many many stars too. ❤️ This hospital surely knows how to pick their workers and nurses. Just the few that I have come in contact with since I was diagnosed with cancer have been so good to me. Thank you everyone and thank you Shadyside for being a great city hospital to a small town country girl!Paul E

My dad and mom drove 3 hours from Central PA to get my dad's hip surgery revision done. The surgery date has already been pushed back twice and he has waited months for this. They are told to be at this location at 5am so my dad can get his dialysis treatment before surgery. They left at 2am to get there by 5am, and they get there and the dialysis center doesn't even open until 7am?? Why would they have to be there 2 hours early to just sit around and wait for it to open. That's the first issue. Now even worse, my dad's blood sugar is 152 and the surgeon says he's not doing the surgery? UNBELIEVABLE. I've never heard of such a thing. I'm a Registered Nurse and this just makes my blood boil. This is terrible patient care. Sounds like the surgeon (Klatt) just needs an excuse to not do the case today. His only option to make it right- come back on Thursday and we will do the hip surgery. You're joking right? After my mom already made arrangements to come down and stay with my dad, you want them to drive 3 hours back home just to do the same thing again in 3 days. Now my dad doesn't even want to go back to have the surgery done after this fiasco. Worst part, they are stuck down there for another 4 hours so he can get his dialysis treatment when he couldve just had it done at home. As a concerned family member and nurse, please avoid this hospital and surgeon.Megan H

I have been hospitalized since Friday and they have done absolutely nothing for me. They are not controlling my pain, and refused my request for a GI consult although I have told them my GI doctor works for the hospital! All they gave me for pain was Tylenol and bentyl which I take at home and that is why I came to the hospital because they were not helping me. Then, they gave me torodol even though I told them MULTIPLE TIMES that I was allergic to it and I immediately had a allergic reaction, to which they had to immediately give me Benadryl. If I have to be hospitalized again for any GI issues, I will be going to AHN although my GI is UPMC. I did everything my GI doctor office said to do and I am no better off. Worst hospital experience I have ever had. I will never go back to ANY UPMC hospital ever again. They are only giving one star because their staff is awesome. Even the food is horrendous.Leah Caldwell

I am impressed by the technology. I am still in my temporary teeth but was recently fitted for the permanent. When I had the implants put in the pain was very manageable with the prescribed Ibuprofen. Everyone at the facility want to see your new smile and are cheerful and professional. It is a life changing event. I have never had good teeth and smiled with my mouth closed. Not anymore. Clear Choice was the right choice for me, I couldn't be happier.Richard Bence

Well what can i say i was scared as hell to do the implants. They put me at ease with all of their kindness and confidence .just another day at the office for them but its life changing for me i can smile and not try to hide it. Only one thing I have regrets about is that i should of did this 10 years ago thanks to all of you for making me look like a normal person again. PS my wife made it all so easy for me thank you KELLEY for taking care of meBlaise Hawkins

I would recommend Clear Choice to anyone needing dental enhancement. The staff is tremendous and the dentists do a remarkable job. I have had almost a year of follow ups since my surgery and I couldn’t say enough good things about Clear Choice’s staff professionalism, knowledge, and talent. During the process I had no pain and have beautiful results. If anyone is considering dental implants, I would not go anywhere except Clear Choice.Susan Gill

I've been attending this school for dental assisting for about 7 months now and it's definitely grown on me. After completing four years of college at a different school, I felt dissatisfied with my major and my education because I didn't feel prepared to enter the job field at all. In contrast, IMC offers the hands on training needed to pass the certifications to ultimately pave the path for the career you signed up in the first place. Classes are taught by experienced professionals who dedicate a lot of time and energy to make sure that their students are prepared for their externship and their future job. The small class sizes enable students to have a close relationship with their teachers. IMC is the type of school where you go to learn as much as you possibly can to prepare you for a job, but it's fast-paced and requires professionalism, hard work, and motivation to get to class every day to finish the program.Jen

I been here at this school since 2019 I started out doing phlebotomy. I couldn’t proceed with that program because of a death in my family , I went back January 2nd 2020 for dental Assistant and I love it.! Although the pandemic hit us hard , I continued to push it to the limit and now I’m doing internship within a few weeks I’ll be graduating. Proud to say that I did this with a lot of stress and complications. But through it all I made it and pushed through . I love the school and staff members . Couldn’t of asked for a better team here at IMBC ! With that being said I just want to take the time out and say Thankyou all for helping me reach my goal .Niya Hicks

So far IMBC has been a perfect school for me and my everyday schedule. I am able to take my children to school, and daycare everyday, and also pick them up due to IMBC having a Mommy schedule for those with children, even those without. My instructors have been excellent so far from Mrs.Amy, Miss Simmons, and Ms.G. They all work with you when it comes to assignments, grades, and wherever you may be lacking at. Each teacher has their own unique way of teaching, which makes each term exciting to look forward to. All I can say is keep up the good work IMBC!Niashia Tirado

While I personally have not availed myself of the educational aspects of BTC, I have referred numerous folk to this facility over my 30 years in the ministry in and around the Pittsburgh area. Young people struggling with 'temptations of easy money on the streets' have found viable vocations thru training at BTC. Older folk stuck in deadend jobs have opened their horizons thru additional training. Offering people the opportunity to expand their cultural and social vistas have found art and music and entire worlds they did not realize existed – all of it at Bidwell. I can't speak highly enough of their dedicated staff, excellent training and top notch caring. And if Bidwell can't help, they will find someone who can. One of the best kept secrets of Pittsburgh – spread the word: Bidwell Training Center.Mary Jane Fullerton

Bidwell Training Center… Professional and welcoming atmosphere, Quality education (at NO cost to the student), GREAT instructor's and staff (who become your personal cheerleaders) A TRAINING CENTER THAT LIVES UP TO ITS MORALS AND STANDARDS. This place WILL change your life for the better If you REALLY want to invest in yourself. Proud to be an ALUMNI! #ABKTonja Grate

This place is the best kept secret in Pittsburgh! There are several programs. I am very involved in the Chem Lab Tech program. If you're thinking of furthering your education or getting a solid skill set in a growing industry, check this program out.Angelo Nardozi

Where to start ? I work in medicine (with people) so I’m not an expert but I took my 7 month old puppy there with what I assumed was a bowel obstruction (all the signs and symptoms. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Did X-rays and they showed no apparent obstruction, did some other testing, and gave my dog an antibiotic shot for an elevated WBC count. They gave him IV Fluids and sent us home. My dog refused to eat over the next 12 hours. I was told if there were any problems to call in so that’s what I did at 9:30am the next day, I was told the Dr would call me back, after that didn’t happen 2 hours later I called again, was told “we didn’t forget about you, the dr is in surgery n she will get with you soon. 5 hours later I called again. Now I’m angry, it was 4pm and they were closing in 2 hours, my dog still won’t eat and he looks terrible. I was told to take him to emergency care. No apology, the dr. Wouldn’t even get on the phone. Just had a receptionist tell me the dr suggests you take him to emergency care. I paid $1100.00 for that service, they didn’t follow their patient. It gets better…I took my dog to an emergency vet clinic and within 1 hour their dr told me she could feel the obstruction in his abdomen with her fingers. Being in medicine myself i understand things get missed, we are all human but it is my opinion there is no way possible that they did a thorough abdominal exam, furthermore the increased WBC count was treated with antibiotic but never questioned as to where the source of the infection was from. Then to ignore me the next day as I sat on a dying dog is inexcusable.Jim Bayliss

My dog experienced rapid, unexplained facial swelling and was in so much pain he couldn't extend his tongue to drink water. I quickly googled the closest pet facilities that have "trauma", "emergency", or "hospital" in their name. Four large, local practices with those terms in their name simply refused to see him, with one receptionist astonished that i didn't have the foresight to schedule his emergency… By distance from my home, Banfield was the 5th location I called. Despite being booked, they encouraged me to bring him in and they would try to find a way to squeeze him in. We waited, at most, 10 minutes before they took him back to be seen. This location was extremely busy. Our impromptu visit likely threw a wrench into the breaks or plans that the staff had that day, yet they enthusiastically agreed to help. I can't begin to express my gratitude to everyone there who made the time to help him. His underlying issue has since been resolved, but I'm not sure where he would be if they hadn't made the time to treat him. Thank you so much.Josh Feldmiller

I cannot come close to showing my gratitude to this amazing group of people. No vet would see our cat. Even our own vet. We didn’t thing it was an emergency so we were wanting to avoid fees. Banfield wasn’t accepting walk ins this day due to limited staff but they veterinarian came out and said she’d take him on get him some labs and fluids and meds and to come back. Unfortunately it was way worse then any of us thought but I couldn’t have asked for a better staff to navigate through this time. Everything was explained and they gave us all the time in the world with him. We love all of you and could t have survived with your your supportNicolette Lamp

I attended Penn Commercial for the esthetics program. I absolutely loved every minute of the program! The teachers are awesome and caring and do everything they can to make your experience wonderful! The entire staff has been so helpful and caring, they have gone above and beyond to help me get into school and even worked with me on the financial end so that I could get into this program and complete it as well! I love that it is so hands on and they allow you to get the real life experience of the work you will perform once you graduate. I appreciate the staff so much for all the help and support they have offered to me to allow me to become successful. I would recommend this school to anyone that’s ready to commit to their education and career because you get out of something what you put into something, so work hard and watch how rewarding it will become!Jessica Sellers

Nursing program is @$$. The teachers talk horribly about students that ask for help. They allowed a student to say in the class after she was accused of laying her hands on patients at clinical. They use ATI to say their “passing rate” is good when in reality the students only know things from ATI, not the teachers. The DON is a quack. She will lose your important documents and force you to pay for new ones. She clearly shouldn’t be operating in the position she’s in. Please I didn’t listen to the people that told me not to attend her but anyone looking into this school… do not go here.Lola Flowers

Penn Commercial has an amazing Faculty & staff that genuinely cares! My Fiancé needed help with a back end Financial Aid process that is very rare and involved changes to be made to her Pell eligibility. The change is from a closed school discharge. Her FA Counselor Ryan Bazant was very engaged and helpful throughout the entire process taking ownership in every aspect! Thanks to his efforts she was able to get results that afforded her the ability to have less loan usage. She is extremely grateful and looking forward to finishing up her program next week.Carl Clemons

I’d say this trip to the craft store was ok. I only give 4 stars because of steep prices for items that can be diyd for much less. ( I’m talking about the wall fixtures and home decor section of the store)BUT NO WORRIES there’s Christmas music bumping in the background 🎅. The staff was extremely cautious when it came to Covid-19 regulations. I must say the woman runny the cash register area is a great team leader!! She’d be over the intercom anytime more than 2 people hopped in line, which is really appreciated. No staff member seem at all irritated or stressed. On another note the discounts are 25% to I believe 75% ! And that’s a great deal! And if you’re in to floral arrangements then this stores for you, there are giant sections and rows of the store dedicated to the craft. It’s a wonderful store.Jessica Draper

So many amazing things in this store! The decor is always top notch. They have absolutely everything for any craft you can imagine! The sale prices are excellent, though the regular prices aren't bad. My only complaint is that they like to make large displays of assorted products and put big sale signs on the display. BUT only some of the products in the display are actually on sale! You have to read the small print on the sale sign and then look at tags and try to figure out what's included and what's not. It's not usually clear and if you're not watching every item ring up when checking out, you'll find out later you were charged full price. It's actually really sneaky.Lisa Murano

My mother went in to the Robinson Hobby Lobby with a painting that she needed framed. Maria was extremely friendly and very helpful in the process with the framing. The frame is beautiful and done to perfection. My mother was over the moon receiving her picture and Maria was equally excited for her. Customer service was beyond expectations and she’s so happy she trusted Maria with her painting to be framed because it’s beautiful. Highly recommend seeing her if you’re needing anything custom framed.Lacey Helms

I have been using this pharmacy for many years due to the facility being very close to my home. I have had many prescriptions filled there, which includes monthly medications. It is a very RARE occasion that I am treated well by workers behind the pharmacy counter. I am greeted each time with attitude, mean looks, and what feels like pure annoyance that I am there. Any time my prescriptions have an issue from the medical side, I am always treated poorly and made to feel that I am the problem or have done something wrong. I wish I knew his name but there is an older male pharmacist, who is ALWAYS rude to me each and every time. I always decline to be counseled by the pharmacist, because I am intimidated by him. I always dealt with it, but this let time, I was very sick and the way I was treated, was so inappropriate that I am going else where from now on. I can guarantee that I have always been polite and thankful, their attitude does not change. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Sadly.Brittany Antonuccio

I have been going here for years. For the most part the staff, and the pharmacists are very nice. I've only had a problem with one pharmacist that had been there for a long time. About 99.9% he is very rude to me on the phone when he realizes who I am, and also rude to me when I pick up my prescriptions. I understand that being a pharmacist can be very stressed at times, but all the other pharmacists there are extremely awesome!Jessie lynn

Pharmacists are extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve never waited longer than ten minutes for a prescription to be filled here, at giant eagle it takes 45 min to an hour or longer with five times more employees. Hands down the greatest pharmacy I’ve ever dealt with. I highly recommend.Angie Sevcik

I will start by saying that I have he many good experiences at this Home Depot. However, my most recent experience has been terrible. I would highly recommend that you never order a kitchen/cabinets from them. The quoted delivery date of cabinets is off by 3 months. And I totally understand that there are national supply chain challenges that are outside their control, but then they should set reasonable expectations and not promise 2 week delivery (max of 6 weeks)… then proceed to make another promise of 4 more weeks when they didn’t hit that target… and then proceed to make another promise of 4 more weeks which did not happen. That is only part of my frustration, because again I under that there are national supply chain challenges. What I am more upset about is their customer service to try and make things right. One employee said that they typically will refund 10-15% for my inconvenience, but when I try to move forward with some sort of refund I can only work with 1 kitchen employee (the others can’t help), this one person will not return any voicemails, and was supposed to speak with a manager and provide me an answer next day(this was a week and a half ago). So because of their lack of help and concern, and terrible communication, I am happy to take my business (appliances, lighting, backsplash,etc) elsewhere.Seth Young

I am in the middle of renovating our four story 1800s house which requires a positively ridiculous amount of paint. In addition, the colors I have picked are quite eclectic due to the eccentric style I am going for, so I am buying many different varieties of colors and finish. So far, Chy was there almost every single day and is so, so incredible! Really knowledgeable, patient, and remembers my colors from past visits which I find to be fairly insane for how many customers must get paint. I would give Chy 10 out of 5 stars if I could.Jordan Guest

I bring material to different sites for my company and I often have to go to this Home Depot to make pickups right when they open. The store opens at 6, but the customer service door is almost never open until 6:15-6:30 and the orders are almost never ready and they ask me to go to the back and get it myself since they can’t leave the cs desk. No other Home Depot in the city has this issue so frequently, that I’ve seen. Would be 1-star rating, but they at least make an effort to help.Mike

I am just amazed by how you guys are treating a loyal customer… Order a 2K vanity on 6/2. It came damaged so I contacted you 6/20 and you promised it will be picked up and a new product is on the way with a 10% discount. It was a 2 weeks waiting period but I appreciated the fact that you are working to resolve this and was willing to be patience. What a mistake! No one showed up to pick it up and there is no way to get a hold of the shipping company! They simply don’t pick up the phone and never call back when you live a message. This is just insane!!!! I spoke with your reps several times to resolve it but none was helpful and the most maddening thing is that you refuse to refund my purchase until it’s picked up though it’s clear that the vendor is a no show!!! You guys are keeping my money hostage?! What in the world??? I wish that was the only problem as you also missed the delivery date on the replacement vanity. Again- no communication from your end, so I had to chase your reps again to see what’s going on only to hear that after waiting for additional 2 weeks my new order was canceled again!!! Seriously?!? Do you guys realize that you guys dragged me for more than a month, charged me for 2 different products and delivered 0 goods while taking me through all this pain? And demonstrated terribly poor customer service that most of his job end with ‘I’m sorry, there’s nothing more I can do for you…’ Nothing?!? Just taking my money for undelivered products and nothing more?! Really????Hagay Dror

My family has been long-time customers of this HD store. The service is impeccable. We had an issue with a major purchase. I called the store. The process is to refer to corporate given the length of time and other factors. For months I called and tried to get assistance to no avail. I called back to HD for assistance. The manager that I originally spoke to was no longer there. I met a wonderful manager, Eric, who truly cared. He picked up the issue and worked so long and so hard to rectify the issue amicably. He called and kept us updated. He always followed up on things. He and the Steves did an amazing job. They all are a true asset to not only the store and corporation, but also to their customers and surrounding communities. They are the type of people and store that we will always patronize. Fair, respectful, helpful, talented and just all around good people. I have tried other stores/competitors to see and I always go back to HD. there is no comparison…..they are exceptional!PK K

Went to this location for the first time today to look at flooring for our new home. Bryan approached us and asked a few questions about what we were looking for, size of the project , etc. He was able to help us find a product that better fit our needs than what we were looking at, and had a wealth of knowledge on the subject. He was very helpful, explained things extremely well, and was not at all pushing for us to make a decision/buy anything today. Bryan was by far the most friendly and knowledgeable Home Depot employee I’ve ever spoken with. I would definitely recommend this location, and if you can find Bryan to help you even better.Christina Mitchell

Love the store located at 2300 Jane, it is so convenient , plenty of parking, the staff there listens and cares and are so helpful, to bad corporate want to take it away and move it to a place, where the older folks who don't drive can not get to it, to a place that has no parking, where all the gym rats all ready take all the parking for the Aldi store across the street. a place where we will have to risk getting a ticket or pay to park, to bad that corporate claims to care about peoples opinions but they don't, because they NEVER listen to any of the complaints about moving the store, they never even addressed the complaints they pond them off to the poor store manager, and someone right above them who doesn't have a clue. THEY NEVER EVEN ASKED if this is what the people wantedFran Brooks

Arrived 15 minutes before close and the doors were locked. I only needed to grab 2 things so I wasn't going to be in for more than 5-7 minutes. I stood at the door for a few minutes while 2 associates inside the store avoided looking my way. Very unprofessional. I know at least 1 of them saw me. If they close early for specific reasons they could have at least acknowledged me at the door and informed me of the reason why they were closed before 10pm.Jon Dolly

Rite Aid’s website makes claims of a safe, clean environment but that is not the case. When picking up a prescription at the Jane Street location I was faced with a pharmacy employee who was obviously sick…coughing uncontrollably, gross sniffles etc. I asked if I should come back another day and the employee said “I’m good”. That’s nice, I wasn’t. How does this place have someone working while obviously sick during a respiratory disease pandemic?Tim DiSalvio

Mary is my favorite pharmacist! She's knowledgeable, caring, and goes out of her way for you. I always have a great experience when Mary is working! Steve is good. But Mary is my favorite. The store is a bit higher priced than most Rite-Aids that I have been to. The design of the store when you're walking it feels a little awkward and unnatural around the front of the store where the OJ, water, and refrigerated items are. Especially with the ordering of the aisles near that. Would expect the water that's shelved to be closer to the refrigerated water. Not 3 aisles over. I also notice that prices aren't found a lot of times in that part of the store. Frustrating. I like to make informed purchases.Aim Teresa Comperatore

I'd give 0 stars if I could. SO unprofessional. I was the 3rd person in line with FOUR employees standing there one of which is hyped up bc he chased 2 girls who where stealing out of the store…I am in there waiting to be cashed out for 10 minutes why they completley ignore the line of people with my 2 small children and this employee is dropping the F bomb EVERY OTHER WORD. This is NOT ok. You should train your employees on how to ACT in a professional setting. You do NOT keep customers this way.Vinetta Sigal

Anthony and Brittnay was extremely patient with me when I came in for a large return of about 25 umbrellas that I did not need anymore. Any store return like this would be tedious but they made sure it got taken care of me. Thank you two for your help!Jacky Zhao

I typically don't even give 1 star reviews. And I am adding another star only because the pharmacist was kind enough to apologize what I had to go through and gave me the store number so I can contact the District Manager Representative. I went today to give it another chance. But I have given this place SO MANY CHANCES before posting It is the absolute worst front-end of store, I have ever seen. The aisles are too tight and not handicap accessible. And it is located near a high rise of handicapped people! There is no customer service or friendliness in the front-end that typical Rite Aid's are known for. Just don't go.Aim Teresa Comperatore

All the stuff the store sells is junk! It doesn't ever work and I tried to return the item, I got a dirty look and I got told I would be banned from returning items back to the store. I even get the cold shoulder! NOT a friendly store. If I get banned from returning another item then I will have the BBB close this store down! I will file a complaint and file a lawsuit! I am a customer and if I'm not 100% satisfied with a product I will return it! I have rights as a customer. 100% customer satisfaction by guaranteed and I'm not satisfied with being told that I will be banned from returning items I'm not happy with!Heidi Brudy

Everytime I go to get my prescription it's never ready. I get a text message saying it's ready then I get there and gotta wait for 25 more mins till it's ready. Nothing is ever ready. You would think if something needs filled and needs a prior authorization they would do it shortly after they open not when I get there. Ugh. I'm switching pharmacy's. Couldn't give a 0 star so I had to give a 1 star terrible customer serviceDave Getz

I am sorry to see this store close. It is/was not one of their "superstores," but it was still convenient and offered competitive prices against the usual competition, like Target. It was the only Walmart in Pittsburgh proper. Several years ago in this store, I did have a run in once with a rude female manager, who is utter trash. Im guessing she was fired as she was not a great rep for their store. Yet I commend the employees who worked so hard during the final two weeks of the store's 50% – 75% and I guess 85% sales. The store was extremely busy, with the store's employees closing the store before 5PM due to extreme customer overload. I will miss this store and I thank all the employees for the great job they did before the closing.L. B.

This location has a terrible selection of food items but tons of apparel. They have a lot of electronics but no office supplies to speak of. The store is clean and the employees are civil. It just matters what you're shopping for I guess. I had an issue at yesterday's visit…the cashier couldn't find the tool to remove the security device from my new printer. Rather than trying to find the one that belonged at his register, he told me to go to the service desk to have it removed. (I found that really weird since he'd already run to the restroom to wash my sheet pan because a leaf bug was on it!) Anyway, during the 20 minute wait at the service desk, my ice cream melted and my cold stuff warmed. It was frustrating.Erina R
