20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Raleigh, NC (2022 Updated)

The school maybe nice, I never had the opportunity to explore, however; their paramedic program is a joke. The staff runs each class on different criteria, for instance my instructor (Wesley Carter) stated we don't do pulse checks in CPR after the first check indicating an arrest. However; as a BLS CPR instructor that is false and the AHA teaches pulse check. However; he was my instructor so in order to test out I did as he wanted and when a different instructor tested me they failed me for using the broslow tape and for not checking pulses, said I should have done it by weight based and the broslow tape is a guideline. Since then I have spoken to several national certified paramedics, nurses, and physicians that state this school is a joke and shouldn't be teaching students period and that the broslow tape is there for a reason to assist in dosing a pediatric patient when weight is not obtained. The instructors can't get on the same page and give out different requirements and if you do what one says it's wrong to every other instructor. Also they give you test out scenarios at the end every instructor does 2 which is you standard, set by North Carolina and my instructor is the only one that does 3 scenarios. No uniformity and poor quality instructors. Horrible experience that I will never get my time, my money, and my family gatherings, birth of my child, and events because these people are not on the same page.Kevin Meiser

Get me outt. If I could drop out i would. This college is awful I learn more from quizlet then I have with any teachers. The teachers here are all lazy and only care about their paycheck. I asked for help and never got a response from one teacher and I still haven't :P. What I would give to be able to drop out from this college. I'd probably learn more by asking my dog for help then any teacher here. If your looking to attend DON'T. The classes are overpriced 400 dollars for ONE CLASS. That is awful. I felt so bad I paid my parents back the money because the prices are horrendous and you won't learn anything. Just use quizlet for 4 years instead of attending here and you'll be better off in life.Niko Wetherington

2 stars for providing a college beyond high school in Kinston. One star for pay compared to other community colleges that pay adjunct instructors $35+ per hour. How has LCC contributed to Lenoir County in skills and talent? On Pitt college's website it states that its students have contributed over $114 million dollars to the local community. I walked around the college grounds and it is boring, no energy or excitement. Lastly, LCC should market more to Black students and the Black community because although Kinston is almost 70% Black; it's not reflected in its student body. Why are there wwwaaaayyy more white students than Black students at LCC? Tracey Jones, Ph.D studentTracey Jones

I have mixed feelings about my time at Cleveland Community College. The student services and enrollment center is outstanding. The go out of their way to get students the help they need with little to no hassle. I was able to receive all of my learning accommodations and register for classes with ease. I would like to say thank you to Dr. Willis. He was the best part about my college experience at Cleveland and is what every professor should strive to be. However, the most dissatisfactory experience was that of the quality of healthcare department. I expected a little more passion and respect from my advisor and professors in the Bailey building. They have an attitude comparable to that of the any DMV. The education is of low quality because the just cram material and expect you to get it quickly (85 pages of anatomy in four days), I had to battle with them to use my laptop in class, and they are the type of professors that like to give pop quizzes just to add to our suffering. Also, if you are a radiography student and live in Gaston County, be prepared to drive 90min to a clinical site and leave at 9:00pm, while coming back to CCC the following morning at 8:00am. The amount of stress they inflict on students is insane! This is coming from someone who has achieved nearly 130 college credit hours and is typically a straight A student.Sherman Norton

As an IT student, I've had a very mediocre experience studying for my double major (IT Networking and Systems Security). Just recently, however, I've gone through one of the most infuriating and stressful experiences I've had in years brought on by their NET-125 instructor. This instructor does not clearly list their standards for submitting work, and I've been given several zeroes for completed work that was submitted in their entirety, or missing one or so minor parts (such as leaving a comment saying you did the work). After several attempts to contact this instructor with no response, I've given up trying to talk with them about these grades. For this reason and several others, I'm led to believe that this instructor does not care about the success of their students, contradictory to what they like to advertise. Their habit of giving zeroes for missing small portions of assignments that never actually pertain to furthering the students' education or demonstrate a student's competency with the material they've learned is a pointless and detestable practice. Would an instructor with a good work ethic and a genuine desire to teach and cultivate learning in their students give out the absolute worst grades possible to the pupils who are actively learning and submitting nearly completed work, but miss out on a few small details?Valkyrie

Had a great time visiting the welding school a Cleveland Tech College. Their welding course is superb and they teach the students everything they could possibly need to know about breaking in the welding career. The head instructor Tim Wisher is a personal friend and his associate Dana is a great place to visit and talk shop. I'm a retired pipeline welder I have known Tim for probably close to fifteen years now. he really cares about his students and wants them to progress to have a bright future.

Today, I feel compelled to write about the wonderful place where I work, Cape Fear Community College. This is my third year here and quite honestly, it is by far, my favorite place of employment. The grounds at CFCC are beautiful, the students are fantastic, and the culture is what makes it truly special. That starts with our President, Mr. Jim Morton who exemplifies our vision: Building a future oriented, world class workforce and a community of lifelong-learners in partnership with regional businesses and agencies. Our students benefit from an excellent education, enhanced student life and a vast opportunity for employment and college transfer studies. Our faculty and staff are highly-qualified, diverse, and dedicated to quality education and service to the College and the community. I am proud to be a part of this amazing institution.Ginny Hayes

I don’t even know where to begin with this place. First of all if you are considering going here you need to run in the opposite direction. I moved here from out of state and gave this institution 10,000 of my dollars just to be disrespected and ridiculed by the faculty and staff. My high school teachers were more competent and respectful than anyone here. The school is run down and smells like mildew other than the main building they use to advertise this place. I did not learn one single thing the entire time I was here and let it be known that I am now graduating to be a medical professional so I was not the problem. I thank God I married my military husband and was able to escape this awful awful school. Do not go here if it’s the last thing you do.Allyson Salavitch

Be careful if using MYCAA to pay for classes, regardless of whether or not you submit on your end on time. If the school doesn't submit it on time on their end (as in my case) you'll receive a dozen and a half reminders that tuition is due (the school doesn't handle MYCAA and the funds get sent to the student to then pass on to the school and if it's not paid by "x" date at "x" time classes are dropped. Had I of known this, I would have applied for schooling elsewhere. Waste of time. Not everyone wants or needs to use FAFSA………Courtney Myszewski

No a good place to take a home inspector class you have 60 hours to read a huge book, and triton college push you to get brand new book but all the material they show you is from 1900, therefore the teacher encourage you to just read the book because their old material doesn't Match with the new book, nothing is updated. Plus If you miss 1 point on your exam you lose the whole course and have to do it again because they don't give you another chance to take another test even for one point and expected to pay all again.so you waste your time,your money..and all over it the instructor says that if English is not your first language you are in the wrong place and makes comments all the time about people's accents. Othe places help you pass the state exam n everything.. Don't waste your time and money taking home inspector course at triton collegeNkos

The worst school to even inquire for a program.. they will charge you and send your info to the credit Breau if you don't pay!! The cashiers will emails you everyday and night and they will make you pay for not attending classes that you never even registered for! Didn't go into classes because it was covid and never even attended for any class online but they want me to pay for not providing any serviceJexlee Charles (Charles10)

Clean, friendly, cool school. I was in the A building, the lady in room A126 was VERY nice and quiet since it was a testing room. They even have FREE feminine products in restrooms for women. I asked about future classes and the lady who helped me initially was VERY pleasant and turned her computer screen around to show me how to navigate the schools website!! All around, GREAT experience!brianne Fondren

I left a BSN program to attend CCHS and it was the best decision I ever made for my nursing career! Compared to the university I previously attended, CCHS classes are small and intimate, we had easy access to our teachers and advisors and we had a TON of hands-on clinical experience. I felt very prepared for the NCLEX as well as my first nursing job after I graduated. I then was able to work as an RN while taking classes online for my BSN after I graduated. I highly recommend CCHS to anyone interested in a career in healthcare and am proud to be a CCHS alummi!Kelly Carlisle

Two days ago, I received an acceptance letter into CCHS’s Neurodiagnostic Technology program! The application process was made easy due to great communication, kindness and patience from Robert, the Coordinator of Admissions. Mrs. Ashley Hastings, the Program Chair, answered all of my questions in detail, making me more eager to join the program. I am looking forward to gaining knowledge from her. All of the staff I have come across so far at CCHS has been welcoming and kind. I highly recommend applying to Carolinas College of Health Sciences.Ahyanna

I've attended CCHS for almost 2 years now. I like how the staff has worked diligently with student during COVID-19. While everyone is still going through difficult times, they have been able to adapt to regulations and restrictions of healthcare that have been placed during the pandemic. I truly enjoy attending CCHS and I know that once I graduate from the nursing program, I will have all the tools, training, and guidance needed to provide excellent care to all patients.Stephanie Lemons

Out of the 4 community colleges I have taken courses at, ABTech has been the worst by far. I have had the worst experience with advising/registration trying to get scheduled for the classes I want. Everyone I speak to just turns me in circles and no one seems to understand what to do in order to help me go where I need to go. They only give you 48 hours once classes start to switch them around if need be, but you need an advisor to approve before you can register for anything different, but you can’t get in to meet with an advisor till days after the deadline. I feel so defeated. I worked so hard to get the courage to return to school, just to not be able to take any courses this semester. Wasting my time and my financial aide. I would not recommend going here. 😓Brynn Dunlap

The staff here are for the most part very friendly and easy to be around. The administration however, is terribly unorganized. It's not uncommon to get information from their website or info center, but be told the complete opposite by a faculty member or chair person. I was following a recommended schedule for the program I'm in, when it was changed completely without any notice. Half the classes I was told to take this Fall are no longer offered, and it will now take me twice as long to complete my program. Long story short- don't attend AB tech if you're pursuing a degree or diploma. I'd only recommend this place to continuing education students.Andy Albert

LOVE this school! I am graduating this May from the Radiography program and will graduate next May with an AS in Biochemistry. AB Tech has made the process smooth and efficient for me, just as I worked hard to make sure I turned everything needed for processing my information early to them to ensure success. The teachers are fantastic and truly care about their students. I am so grateful for the writing, math and science study labs as well because the staff there gave me the extra help I needed whenever a concept was tough. I have worked hard here and it has been worth it!Annebritt Birkeland

It's a beautiful campus. Especially during the fall and winter. Just be careful when parking. I was not familiar with the campus. My family and I stopped by to say we seen Duke University. Google took us to 2 parking lots that were gated. So we parked near the gift shop to ask for directions. When we came back to our car we had a ticket on the windowWes Brown

Lovely campus, with almost 9000 acres! Huge trees and grand lawns frame Gothic architecture which themselves house state-of-the-art labs and lecture halls. Duke's research grants are famous for being generous, even for undergraduate students. Keep in mind, though, that the admissions rate is very very low, so you probably won't get in.Ameya Majmudar

My DREAM school and I am striving hard to get a full ride but not only here but to others because it's good to have a back up! This has been my dream school since 6th grade and it's just a simply AMAZING school itself and if you get admitted get a feel of the school and what it has to offer! It truly is amazing!Rita Igb.

So here's my Wake Tech story. I secured financial aid and then enrolled into Wake Tech as a full-time student. And then the financial aide office attempted to cut my much-needed aid twice, the first time on the Friday before my classes were to begin and then the second time was the following Monday via email when I was literally 4/5 the way through the commute from Fayetteville to Raleigh to attend my first day of classes, causing me to turn around and head back home. And another thing: maybe it's just me — perhaps I missed something?–however it seems that Wake Tech expects new students to simply show up and know what to do? Nothing's explained, nearly none of the stuff that I needed to know to get started was covered during the online orientation that new students are required to complete nor were we given any booklet or the like to explain how stuff works . But let's rewind a bit. After securing financial aid, enrolling and completing online orientation….I remained clueless. So thereafter I spent about a week commuting back and forth between Fayetteville and South campus in an effort to complete registration and get everything else taken care of. I did so under the assumption that I'd get stuff figured out if only I'd drive up there and speak to Wake Tech face to face–but not so . During this process I asked advisors and other staff a variety of questions only to be told conflicting info and advice thereby increasing my confusion. And then I went to the bookstore where I learned that some of the books that I needed were out of stock and that notebooks cost $8. So I left without my books. I did however attempt to attend classes first day of semester, as mentioned above, but then received that email from the financial aid office– had that not happened I would have went to school and maybe things would have turned out differently. I did receive another email from someone else at Wake Tech telling me that the email from financial aid threatening to reduce my aid the 2nd time was a mistake and that I'm covered…but unfortunately I've already missed a week of school so I guess I'm out. Very depressing as Wake Tech is the closest college offering a full curriculum on substance abuse/addiction counseling and that's what I want to do. But, it is what it is .Frank A

You remember when the pandemic started, and everyone had to start learning how to use computers? Now imagine, a bunch of teachers, creating online courses from scratch with no help. ITS A DISASTER. Its like NO ONE set a criteria for how the classes should follow a general structure, so that students aren't spending the first 2 weeks of every new class trying to figure out what is what. Its like no one showed them, "this is the gold standard"… this is what a well put together black board class looks like. The online courses are archaic. (Dr. Frear, I complained about some things and I am sorry. After seeing what else is our there( summer 2022), HOLY MOLY. Your blackboard set up is the least confusing and was by far, the best thing I have seen yet) Instructors use blackboard, not as a classroom but as a file folder system. Instead of using the platform, they made it so that every thing is word documents and or files you have to download when they could have just simply used the actual platform. I should only be downloading PowerPoint slides, worksheets, homework, etc. Not opening a document to read something you could have made a video and "instructed" us or copy and pasted to the platform. Does anyone know the definition of a syllabus there? It should be all encompassing. I shouldn't have to read 5 documents to figure out how I will be graded, what I will be graded on, the rules, the expectations, which books I need to buy. If the department has a syllabus, I'm pretty sure you are supposed to take that document and incorporate it into your own, at the very least create an addendum/appendix. My Grades should clearly have due dates, weighted totals, and all of the grade-able items at the start of the class. There should be no, imagining what my grade is at any given moment.Buttercups

I’ve spent 29 years teaching at Wake Tech and have taken a number of classes here too. I know what it’s like at Wake and I am telling the unvarnished truth about it. I’m retiring soon so it’s not about getting a promotion! Generally speaking the facilities, faculty and quality of education are really very good – in addition the price is still reasonable. Don’t be conned by private educational facilities that promise you a “great job” after graduation and then put you in a low end, minimum wage job where you can’t even afford to pay off your pricey school loans (this happened to a friend of mine). Go to WT and get a better education for a fraction of the cost – you will leave with real skills and THAT’S how you get a job – with knowledge. Plus Wake has a solid reputation with employers. Yes, there are aspects of the school that are unfortunate – I hear complaints from my students, and there are a number of policies that drive the faculty crazy too – much of it is due to the typical bureaucracy that seems inevitable with very large institutions. Is it really better elsewhere? Maybe. Maybe not. Nonetheless, if you go with the sincere desire and motivation to learn, and you treat your teachers and fellow students with respect – you will be supported by all and do well. The ILC really is a remarkable facility and is intended to help struggling students succeed. When it comes to the financial aid office I hear the best approach is to fill out ALL the paperwork that is required COMPLETELY and ON TIME. Follow instructions, that should go a long way to making the process easier.Marlys de Alba

This college has made a terrible impression. They got me admitted as a transfer student, and I have been preparing for the Fall session online, but to appear in person, and I just found out I missed the registration deadlines because student advising never got back to me. I took the new student orientation and the professor, just skimmed through all the info. There wasn't time for questions, and she cut it short by 30 minutes. It didn't even explain how to register online. I had been in communication and prepared for this session but didn't understand how to register so all the classes I had 'added to my schedule' weren't actually registered, and no one followed up with my questions. I thought I was registered, and even as I try to register now after the fact, it still says I need student advising which no one ever got back to be except for an email to say I already had everything set up. I am torn about this. Now I have to wait another session to get started?! NO! I will take my education somewhere where I can actually get assistance. This is such an emotional drag.Gabrielle Flores

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

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

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

OUTSTANDING work! He really knows his craft and I am more than pleased with my results.  On 01/27/22 I received a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and he got rid of my love handles. Prior to surgery i felt my breast were not as full as i would have liked and I could not get rid of my tummy despite my efforts. I expressed to Dr. Cohen I wanted my body to look natural, so instead of breast implants he recommended fat transfer breast augmentation. By the way he has excellent bed side manners and most importantly Dr. Cohen and the staff made me feel SAFE (because ladies, surgery can be scary and you should always go to a professional, not a Dr that has you lined up with others, talking about "next", that's not safe ladies!). The results….I couldn't believe. I love the way my body looks! My breast are natural but full and my tummy is SNATCHED! So many compliments I received. Thank you for your great work. He is highly recommended!courtney jarrell

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Coan and the CARE team. Before selecting them, I was honestly wondering how it was possible that they have SO many 5-star, rave reviews — it made me feel a bit skeptical going into my consultation! But the reviews are true and there is a reason for it, Dr. Coan and his practice are truly the best of the best. From consultation, to surgery, to after care I always knew I was in good hands. He listened to what I wanted and absolutely nailed my goals. Him and his team calmed all of my fears and anxieties and were always there to answer any questions I had at any point in the process. I felt cared for, listened to and respected the entire process! I can't recommend CARE enough and at over 4 months post-op I am absolutely in love with my results.Conner Wiegand

Dr. Cohen and the rest of the team went beyond measures to make my experience unforgettable. With me being a patient that never had a procedure before, I was very nervous at first; however, the team at Care Plastic made sure everything was done right and made the process as simple as possible. Nonetheless, I can’t thank everyone here at Care Plastic enough for all the hard work and effort that has been put during my visits and procedure. I would highly recommend anyone out there to consider Care Plastic. You will not regret it a single bit because you will be in good hands. Thank you Care Plastic for taking care of me!Ahmed Isleem

I Went to the hair school/ barber school October 24 & took my son to get a hair cut & the hair cut messed up my son's head with cuts on his face & head, I wont Be going backKenny Stasteck

I loved going here.. I took the phlebotomy class with Mrs. Hobbs as my instructor. The classes are very small and the teacher would place her personal experiences with what’s going on in the textbook to make you better understand certain situations. She never moved forward unless everyone was on the same page. The owner Mrs. Ki would step in often and speak and to see how things were going with the students which was great bc it made you feel like they care. In the future I plan on taking other courses here…also, the schedules are very flexible you can do weekday/nights or weekends.. thanks to SOP for such a great experience!!!Brionna Ward

What I liked about shades of purple was mainly the Tuition fee for the phlebotomy course I took. Very affordable. Although I was able to pay the all amount up front, there’s payment plan options as long as you pay before the last day. Secondly the school have amazing firm instructors who make sure you get the necessary knowledge you need in training to become the best phlebotomist there is. Overall shades of purple has a good and friendly environment to learn. Kudos to Ms. Bradley, Mr. Gates and JessicaNancy Gesicho

I am so inspired by the instructors/staff of shades of purple especially Mrs. Bradley. i just want to take the time out to say thank you guys so much for being patient and thorough. I was very apprehensive before i start school in fact i was out of school for so many years but the confident and knowledge that i gained from this school let me know that i can do all things. Be bless everyone you.Erica Sorrell

Mere words cannot measure how grateful I am for Dr. Zacco’s fervent commitment to excellence!  He sets a standard for himself that surely no patient, however optimistic or demanding, would expect him to achieve.  It is said that the canvass on which Shakespeare performed his brilliance was a blank sheet of paper.  For Dr. Zacco, the canvass is a blank (i.e. hairless) scalp, or portion of scalp. I parted with thousands of dollars in 2012 for the services of another hair-transplant physician, who did little more than create a fissure from which follicles could be extracted and implanted.  He then turned me over to a staff of what seemed like young kids while he meandered about (presumably) checking on other patients who were having the same procedure performed. Dr. Zacco, on the other hand, never left my side for the whole of my visit.  The only hands continually touching my scalp were his.  The only patient in the office was me.  While he ensured a capable staff of professionals was monitoring all critical elements of the procedure, the only person doing the work of a doctor was the doctor.  In my exhaustive research of hair transplant specialists, I came to feel like a customer who was being sold a product or service.  With Dr. Zacco, I felt like a patient being consulted by a medical professional. From my perspective, anyone who makes a hair transplant decision without meeting Dr. Zacco will have acted hastily and imprudently.  If Dr. Zacco were an airline, all the “passengers” would be riding first-class……for the price of “coach”.  Conversely, in 2012, I rode coach for the price of first-class. I cannot, in good conscience, close without paying tribute to Melissa, Dr. Zacco’s office manager and closest assistant.  She is a consummate professional, whose very presence is a symbol of Dr. Zacco’s fervent commitment to excellence.

I'm a 46 year old female that was losing my hair (jn clumps) from telogen effluvium and I went to 2 dermatologists who told me there was NOTHING I can do. I was determined to go another route. I found Dr. Zacco and his office Manager Melissa. I had a very long consultation with him that did not feel rushed. He asked me so many questions the dermatologists never even asked. He went as far as looking at my fingernails, skin color with and without makeup on, asked me for my blood test results, etc. He was so thorough before he even did PRP treatment on me. He is so professional and Melissa is so efficient and friendly. She answered my emails the same day, sometimes late at night even! I was so impressed with his office, professionalism, and consult that I had PRP treatment done that day. They were so gentle and caring throughout the whole thing. I felt very comfortable and he sanitized my scalp before anything which made me feel even more secure in having the treatment done with him. 2 weeks after the 1st treatment I had very little shed in the shower when I washed my hair. I was completely amazed. I went from losing clumps to hardly losing anything. Its been over a month and I am going back this week for my 2nd treatment. I already have regrowth and I recommend anybody who wants to consider PRP to have a consultation with them. Seriously, the best! I may consider PRP for other things in the future. Love this practice and they work so wel together!Samantha Burks

I started coming to Dr. Zacco in the mid 2000's after I had hair transplants from multiple doctors anywhere from Charlotte, NC to Irvine,CA and I can tell you that he is as honest and conscientious as any Dr. doing hair transplantation. He is honest enough to give you realistic expectations and let's you know up front that it's a process that will require multiple procedures. It's a process but people are looking for the magic bullet that will restore their hail loss in 1 procedure and when that does not happen, they vent on social media. I am going for my 4th procedure with Dr. Zacco and I would not be doing that if I was not completely comfortable with him and his staff. He is very detail oriented and his attention to detail surpasses some of the more well known names in the hair restoration industry. My advice would be to come in and talk to him for yourself and after your consultation, make your own decision. I am completely comfortable coming back to Dr. Zacco again and again.Greg Sloan

Front desk staff, nurses, assistants, managers, and finance are ALWAYS top notch anytime I called or visited. Answered all questions and addressed any concerns. This is the ONLY reason for the 1 star. On the other hand, Dr. Kimberly Jones is HORRIBLE!!!!!! The ABSOLUTE WORST bedside manner! Doesn't care if you're in pain, just keep working with a dose of chastising. Allows random men to walk in during surgery and carry on a casual conversation as if you are the water cooler or some other inanimate object. No apology whatsoever for invasion of your privacy. No follow up call after surgery until days later AFTER I called to tell them I'm alive! RUN Forest, RUN! If you decide allow Dr. Jones to operate and you have a great experience with her, I'm positive its due to the fact that she had been humbled. I decided to speak up for myself and future patients to the local manager and the corporate office about her patient treatment. I only wish I was privy to information from others BEFORE my surgery that Dr. Jones' bedside manner is QUESTIONABLE. It doesn't matter if her results are good, if she treats you like road kill.Kiki Bee

Had a procedure done 2 years ago. Worse decision I’ve ever made. Penny was really nice at the time of collecting my money. But when a situation came back up she wouldn’t even answer the phone I had a package deal for different parts of the body. I had my stomach done. I’m still traumatized by it. Woke up in the middle of procedure. Horrible experience Then the staples were so stuck in my skin I had a great deal of pain removing then. I suffered from depression right after this procedure, couldn’t hardly breath,had to sleep sitting up. I would never recommend this place. The doctor who did my procedure were so cold on my check ups. I had to fight for him to see me. Front desk always messed up on my schedule Always one blaming the other and no one taking responsibility for their faults. My stomach today looks horrible I couldn’t finish my package deal. My scars are also horrible. If u don’t believe it I can show them to whoever wanna see it.tiguitigui “erika” sha

They truly were the dream team here in Raleigh! Starting with Desiree who is so chill and informative. She helped me with making the right decision. After I made the appointment, I added sections and she was EXTREMELY helpful here. My surgeon Dr Atun made me feel comfortable and accountable to do my part in making these changes. My team of nurses-Lisa R, Don T, and Samantha G were all helpful, kind, efficient and understanding! They are busy and made me feel like the only patient here in the office. Lisa did a great job with bringing GREAT energy and positive vibes. Don had great music pumping while prepping the room for my procedure. HIGHLY recommend and excited for the results!Natasha Davis

We have been taking our dog to Banfield since we rescued him in the fall of 2020. In the last seven months, we have exclusively been going to the Creedmoor location. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this location, especially Dr. Jordan. The staff is always very warm and welcoming and understanding of our dog’s diagnosed anxiety. Miles has sadly had many issues that require him to visit the vet often, and this location is a smaller standalone which helps ease his anxiety and going to the vet. Most importantly, Dr. Jordan is an absolute rockstar. When she calls to update on his appointment, she is always direct and thorough in explaining what took place at his visit. She happily will answer all of my questions to ensure that I understand and able to give him proper care. It is so evident that Dr. Jordan and her staff genuinely care about every pet they see and we are so thankful that Dr. Jordan is Miles’ primary vet. I would recommend this Banfield location and Dr. Jordan to anyone seeking a new vet.Surra Arielle

I can honestly say that my kitten (Rosie) is NOT the easiest to deal with. She has very high anxiety and she can be a handful at times and I appreciate that my veterinarian and tech has always been honest with me about it. Dr. Ansel is very patient with her and has been doing a great job with communicating with me, knowing I have concerns about Rosie’s anxiety with the staff. I also wanted to give a big thank you to the vet tech Emma. She has been so nice and informative about Rosie and she even took a picture of her after her spay was done while she was in recovery. She is also very patient with Rosie and I appreciate having a veterinarian and a vet tech that I know I can count on. Thank you for taking care of my fur baby. 🐾Hope R.

I’ve been taking my cat Puma to this Banfield location for almost 2 years!! He’s diabetic and almost 15 years old. He’s been Dr.Winstead’s patient this entire time, and I cannot thank her enough! Any time I have any questions, she’s more than willing to chat with me on the phone, and is extremely thorough when giving me the results of his checkups. I truly feel like they care for him, and I cannot thank the Banfield Creedmoor team enough for their patience (when I go on and on about him) and help. He is on the Banfield pet insurance which helps GREATLY with his office visit costs, medications, etc. Cannot recommend enough 🙂alexus jordan

I have been seeing Dr. Kerner since roughly the beginning of 2014, ever since Emerge Ortho was Triangle Orthopedics. He is a fantastic provider and always goes above and beyond. Listens to my problems and my needs and takes the time to explain what it is I am experiencing and why I am. He also lays out all my options and goes deep into depth with each one. I have had previous surgery with him in 2014 and would definitely recommend him to anyone. I also see him every few months for injections into my ankle that I broke when I was 16 to gain more mobility and less swelling or pain. I would definitely recommend him and his staff to anyone! See y’all soon!Nicole Rousseau

Dr Kerner’s level of professionalism and concern about his patients is immediately evident. He has provided orthopedic care to me now on two separate occasions and on both he was patient and supportive. He spent time assessing and explaining in depth what the situation was. I was very pleased with his care and recommend EmergeOrtho and Dr. Kerner.Linda Rosen

Dr Paul Kerner is an excellent orthopedic physician. He did a wonderful job on my ruptured Achilles tendon. The healing process went well and the incisor healed great. I would recommend Dr. Kerner for this type of surgery. It was a good experience and thanks for making it as pain free as possible.Lynell Little

I really enjoyed the staff and the faculty at the campus. The night classes came in handy if you work full time during the day or if you have small kids to take care of. Also, with so many online classes it is much easier to handle the work/life balance and responsibilities. I like how clear everything is to understand, how the faculty are subject matter experts and work with people who need extra attention and extra patience as life can be challenging when juggling so much. The people in financial aid and the Dean are really good about answering questions and providing guidance and support. The class structures being one at a time in the semester and the small amount of people in the class help make it easier to have a relationship with the faculty. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t study and you don’t focus, you will not succeed. But if what you want to do is get right to the point, work hard and get a job, this is the place to go. I know other people who have studied in different places and I honestly feel like when we talk about what classes I had to take and what material I had to study, I really feel like I got a lot more out of the experience than they did with theirs. No regrets.Theresa Martinez

This school needs to learn how to listen to the students sometimes. I can say that with some of the reviews they are right about the money part if I would’ve did more research i probably would’ve went somewhere else because how is it that I signed up for classes and did all the paper work but then when school starts and begin classes that all of sudden the books cost more then you expected. You should have known that before classes started or during the process prices don’t change overnight. The instructor i had no longer works here but she was a very good teacher, she made sure that you understand everything and always tried to relate it to everyday life things to help you remember and only because of her am i glad that i came here because she really made me fall in love with my program. They really lost the best instructor ever!!! Overall i say do your research no school is perfect but they got some snakes at this school and its sad because we suppose to be adults.Erin Braynon

Private school scam! Young adults, please don't fall for this. Sharon Palmer will manipulate you into signing over to pay fifty thousand dollars for a five thousand dollar course. All they care about is money and their credits don't even transfer. I withdrew in Novmeber and they still are triyng to get me to pay loans for classes I never attended. When I called them today, they said they split your fafsa in half (which makes no sense) and use the other half for the next semester wherther you go or not. This way, if the half doesn't cover the semester you're forced to take out a loan. Coretha and Sharon palmer spammed me with emails at one and two in the morning trying to coerce me into signing things and making me feel like it was life or death. Do not trust this school and if you can, go somewhere else.X'zavia Woods

I plan on moving to North Carolina so I wanted to apply for temp agency to get my journey started so that I can peruse my real goal. I thought it would comfortable talking to the staff, but he just gave off this uninterested mood like he didn’t even want to help me. The conversation felt rushed and he basically brushed me me off fast as possible like I said something disrespectful. He kept forcing that the only positions available were only medical based so I understood, but he came off rude. Never gave me any suggestions of some sort just tried his best to get me off the phone. I do not recommend apply Quality Staffing unless you are applying for medical jobs because if you apply you will be wasting your time and you be rushed off the phone. This happened not to long ago so yes this is very recent. I worked for many temp agencies and by far this temp agency has to be the most blunt rude one of them all. You should make the people that are interested feel comfortable about applying; not uncomfortable. I wish I could talk to someone else for a better review but whoever the man is that’s speaking for Quality Staffing is giving off a bad reputation for you guys and I hope the next person feels comfortable. Thank you.Zooly

I am so thankful for Quality Staffing. During these current times it was more difficult to find a job on my own with so many people applying. Quality Staffing listened to my needs and wants and helped pick a position that worked for me and my skill set. I have been lucky to be working with Alison during the whole process. If I had any questions she didn’t hesitate to answer them and has been so helpful! She found me a position I enjoy with such an amazing company with a great group of people. I would recommend them to anyone!Morgan Scollon

I have had a pleasant experience working with Quality Staffing. Leslie set the tone for the company’s professionalism and hospitality. She treated me with the upmost respect and was available for any inquiries. Leslie was highly organized and prompt making my working experience a delight. I am thankful for being a part of this organization and for the opportunity to transition to one of their respective clients. Great experience, thanks! AnnAnn Powers

Sadly, I enjoyed being a client. However, the "Manager" made appts for Apr 8th, which I waited 3 weeks for w a particular student. I was called a week prior to be told, sorry they were closing for Spring Break. I could not get an Appt for another 3 weeks now. I called the VP in GA, the Receptionist there, hears but does not LISTEN, when corrected, also easily Offended. Clearly an unprofessional pattern. So, I was upset w "Manager", no cursing but bc child in adult body, he said I can no longer return as a client. THIS IS HOW YOU WILL BE TREATED HERE. Then, the President or Principal (title?) at Raleigh, NC takes my complaint, says VP is there n will discuss the matter. Apologizes, as he made the decision w Spring Break but was unaware there were client appointments for the 8th, if he knew, he would not have made the decision to close. So, this clearly shows the "Manager" omitted the information of client Appts to his Supervisor for his own benefit and then likely also lied about me. This is like a child daycare at best it seems as the Adults are clearly missing and ZERO real Leadership with ability to Discipline the one who acts like he needs diapers in a "Manager" role, and instead fed him a pacifier vs a spanking. 🤔🙄Jane Annon

I attended The Medical Arts School in 2013 for the incredible Massage Therapy program. I was able to go to school during the day and continue to work at night. There is also a night program that allows you to work during the day and take classes at night. Both options have amazing teachers and students. This program allows you to learn all of the information you need in order to pass the MBLEx exam and become the best massage therapist you can be. The teachers are great and give you any one on one time that you may need. If you have a question, they will gladly answer it. They also take the time to demonstrate any movement or work any muscle that you learn about. Where else can you get two massages a day for nine months?! What a wonderful way to learn the information and get regular bodywork. I give The Medical Arts School five stars because it allowed me to become an amazing, very successful massage and bodywork therapist! A+Jennifer Rozycki

After having graduated at this I was surprised to realize how much more I learned here than any of the others schools in the area. The attention to trigger point therapy and sports massage has set me apart from the rest. Having worked first in a spa and now in a more medical setting I can honestly say you get what you put into this program. Most of the staff is extremely knowledgeable and are true artists in their work. They love to help students who show drive although they are sometimes a bit too lenient in my opinion. All in all I have loved my experience at this school as it has gotten me where I am at today!Evan Hosinski
