I recently had the privilege of studying under Mrs. Randi, an incredible medical assistant instructor who completely transformed my educational journey. Her teaching style seamlessly combined theoretical knowledge with hands-on clinical practice, making even the most challenging subjects accessible and engaging. What impressed me the most was Mrs. Randi's clear passion for teaching and her genuine concern for each student’s success. She was always available to help, whether it involved answering questions after class or providing additional resources to enhance our understanding. Attending the medical assistant program at Milan with Mrs. Randi was a wonderful experience. Her compassionate and courteous demeanor, combined with her thorough explanations, made learning enjoyable. She supported all of us at every turn and was always willing to lend a hand. I highly recommend Mrs. Randi to anyone seeking a comprehensive, supportive, and highly effective learning experience in the medical assisting program. She is an exceptional and caring instructor. I also want to express my gratitude for the entire Milan community. The janitorial staff plays a crucial role in keeping the building clean and healthy for both students and staff, and they are always polite. Additionally, the front desk staff do an amazing job; they are respectful and incredibly helpful to everyone. I had a fantastic time at Milan. The school is very professional, and I highly recommend it.

I had the best experience getting a facial and peel treatment from Yessica! Not only does she have amazing hands that make the process feel so relaxing, but she’s also incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to educate me on each step, what to expect afterward, and even recommended products that fit my skin type and budget. Before my appointment, I sent her a video of my face, and within minutes, she had already researched the best treatment to start my skincare journey. I truly appreciate her dedication and expertise, and I’ll definitely be continuing my skincare journey with her as she embarks on this new venture. Highly recommend Yessica! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
