Student Testimonials

  • “Refreshing to have a student placed within the dental office that already has knowledge of the inner workings of the dental office. Very impressed by Midwest Dental Assistants School’s training. We hired your student out of her externship.” – Kayla from Dr. Sweeney’s office

     

    Very Impressed!

  • “Amazing environment, great teachers, and incredible opportunities to grow and learn as a dental assistant! The classes are easy to go along with and the program teaches you so much about the ins and outs of dentistry. My teacher Mrs. Williams also answers my questions and also has a great approach to teaching. If I’m not understanding the lessons or the homework I can always go to her and get the clarification I need!”

    Amazing environment, great teachers…

  • “I obtained my first job with no dental assisting experience at MDAS. I trained with MDAS and their Dental Assistant technician taught me proper dental assisting techniques. MDAS provided books on chair side assisting, treatment planning, and inventory control. I was also instructed on charting dental procedures with the ADA coding system for insurance filing. I am currently employed in a busy dental office as lead chair side assistant.” – Melissa from Omaha, NE

    I got my first job because of MDAS!

  • “Just wanted to thank you for the great experience I had at Midwest DA. You made me realize that I do have what it takes to be a dental assistant. I absolutely love where I’m at, and could never have made it without you! I cannot thank you enough. You and your program turned my entire outlook around. You have so much compassion for your students, and want what’s best for them!” – Destinee from Omaha, NE

    Thank for the great experience!

  • “Your student was so quick to meld with our office’s pace, very skilled. Impressed by her dental knowledge. We hired your student after her externship.” – Holly from Dr. Ogunleye’s office

    Student had Impressive Knowledge!

  • Great program! Audrea was a wonderful teacher, very patient and informative. she made sure we all understood and could perform the different steps in procedures before moving on. No question was too stupid for her!

    Great program!

  • “I started the Midwest Dental Assistants program in August 2011. I’m glad I made that decision. I got the chance to do a lot of hands on things very quickly! I wish we would have had more information fresh. I liked going to different offices, seeing how each doctor worked differently, so when I do get a job, I have a little more experience with a couple doctors and how they operate. Overall my experience through the school was helpful and educational!” – Ali Williams
