Employer Testimonials
My name is Dr. Bayat and I am an Endodontist practicing in Salem and Portland. I have hired 5 assistants who have all gone through school at Practical Dental Assisting of Oregon. The caliber of students who come out of their school have been top notch. I would not hesitate hiring a student right out of school that has been taught by Cassie, the schools amazing leader and teacher. My employees have come to work for me with all of the knowledge that they need to succeed in this career and if they don’t know something they are always quick to learn and adapt. Working through their accelerated program pushes them to understand things quickly and push through when things get difficult. I cannot recommend hiring students from Practical Dental Assisting of Oregon enough!

Student Testimonials
I feel I have learned a lot with the hands on, and would rate this program a 10 out of 10. I really enjoyed our instructor- she made you feel like it was okay to ask questions and gave lots of one on one instruction. I found the CD and DVD to be helpful as well as the textbook.
–Jodi R.
I definitely feel I got the most out of this program that I could have anywhere else. The only thing I would do differently is sign up earlier to study for longer! I enjoyed our instructor’s attitude and positive energy, and her willingness to be there for us no matter what. I feel I’ve received more than sufficient training and I feel confident with how I’ve done.

I am currently working as a Dental Assistant in Corvallis and love my job! Small class size with one of the best teachers ever. It has a ton of hands on training. You have resources to use all the time, there is no excuse to not be doing something. I have never regretted my decision to choose this program!

I loved our instructor, she was real about everything. Some things are different in an actual office and she let us know what to look for.

The textbook was very easy to read and the online references were awesome! Our instructor was very fun to work with and took the time with each student to make their learning experience better. I thought she actually cared about us and wanted us to succeed, which is not common in many teachers today! It’s a great program.

The dental assisting program has given me a great opportunity to have not just a job, but a career! The front office staff (at Dixon Creek Dental) was very accommodating with setting up observation hours. Thank you and I appreciate the help your office and staff have provided to my education.
