My daughter son in law and his brother all graduated have successful careers they worked hard and they did what they needed to do to learn everything they could while at Parker
We did not have a good experience. We spent a lot of money for their pre-requisites because we were told that would increase my daughters chances of getting into OTA program. My daughter made deans list and worked really hard. She didn't get into program. My daughter reached out and asked why so she could make improvements and try again. She got no response. My daughter applied again and got no response. We are now out all that money and time with nothing to show for it.
My experience at parker was wonderful while I was doing my basics; I meet so many students I can relate too. Working full time with kids and manage to go to school at night. I was so excited to start the sonography class, class hours were 3 days a week half a day. Let’s start with the interview process you get to meet the Angela Smith (director) and 2 teachers, right away the director had told me she could tell English was my second language that should have been a red flag. The first class was easy no complains besides Angela always interrupting class, walking in gossiping with teacher. Seriously can’t this wait till the end of the day, I know she has plenty of emails and calls for the people interested in applying. Now to the second class, this class was hard I was passing with a C but depending on what I make on the final I could continue or fail. First off this teacher would lecture us and say if I would you highlight this might be on test that was not always true, than her excuse would be well I can’t just handle it too you, you guys need to work for it or if you guys are doing this for the money well you guys are NOT going to graduate. At this point half the class was failing; keep in mind I would come here even on the days there was no class seeking for help from teachers. Students would come in, to seek help but the teacher would be busy in her office while we wore in the classroom. This is what really upset me the most they encourage us to buddy up and seek help from students, but then I hear the students that are passing I was told by Angela not to help you cause you might get me behind. The day before the final there were 4 of us not passing, but out of the 4 one was white. Angela came in the room noticed that we were all studying and decided to pull the person out to tell her is not a good idea for us to study she was better off at home. I have never felt more discriminated in my entire life. Whoever is interested in this program I would ask how many people start and how many graduates? Because I don’t understand how 10 students start in the program and 2 end up graduating. And if you pass let’s see 3 classes but you fail the 4th can you continue or would you start all over? This is what happened too one student she was dismissed and she would have to start all over again which is ridicules they should give a second chance. Meaning: YOU would have to re-apply for next semester 2) take the same classes 3) another 1600 to 1800 dollars a class in tuition fees 4) delaying graduation process. But let me informed you I was warned before I even started the program that the director is a racist, has favoritism etc. But I ignored everyone because I didn’t think this would happen to me. I know most of the students did take other students advice and changed programs like radiology program or OTA. I know I might be the first negative post you see because the other students are either scare, want to come back to the program or are taking a different program and don’t want any conflict with the director since we all share the same building.
Good program for anyone who wants to be a chiropractor.
I have attended the Parker Irving clinic regularly for more than ten years and have always had the best of attention, and care under the direction of the clinic director. Highly recommended. An excellent institution!
