Instructor Daisy was very helpful during the Infection Control class at the Dental Assisting Institute on May 20, 2022. She answered all questions given to her, and gave perfect examples for better understanding to the students. It was obvious she knew exactly what she was instructing/teaching. I would definitely recommend to take all the courses offered here at the Dental Institute.

I took the Infection Control Class on May 20 at the Dental Assisting Institute and it ran very smoothly. They follow up with you after you sign up and make sure you have everything you need for the day of your course. The course instructor, Daisy, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions students had. The lab demonstration part of the course was simple and easy to follow. Over all it was a welcoming atmosphere and helped me get the certifications I need.

I took the X-ray course on March 20 and 27th and I loved it. The instructors were really helpful and answered all my questions. They were straight forward with all the materials we needed. They explained the homework and papers that needed to be signed. The instructors were both super nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend this course for anyone that needed to take the x-ray course.
