Lydia Heineman, class of 2005

I attended NSDAA in Spring of 2005. Because of the exceptional training I received, I was able to find a job 3 weeks prior to graduation. I work in Issaquah at Eastside Pediatric Dental Group and I just love what I do. Thanks to Cynthia and her awesome staff I was taught the necessary dental assisting skills and much more to make it an easy transition from class to work. Cynthia knew my personality and was able to recommend a few dental assisting positions for me to call upon and within a week I had a job. I highly recommend this school to any prospective student.

Cody Eckenburg, class of 2006

I am so grateful for my experience at NSDAA, not only did I create great friendships, I learned the skills to do a job that I am extrememly passionate about. I am now very fortunate to be working for a wonderful Dentist (Gayle James) and staff. I love my job. I would highly recommend NSDAA to anyone considering a school for dental assisting.

Sarah R., class of 2006

I enjoyed being a student at NSDAA. The staff is wonderful, they made my learning experience fun. After graduating, I had a couple of interviews and then found a wonderful office to call my work home. I love the dentist I work for! Thanks NSDAA!

Kellie G., class of 2006

Fun, fast paced school, with lots of attention from each instructor. I LOVE the Staff at NSDAA. Attending NSDAA was one of the best decisions that I have made.

Cynthia Stevens, class of 2004

I attended NSDAA in Winter of 2004. I graduated in April 2004 as Valedictorian of my class of 10 students. While attending the academy I learned so much in so many ways! The teachers are wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about what they teach. They really care about each individual student. The staff explains things in a way that each person can understand. It is very individualized since the classes are small. Two weeks prior to graduation I was offered a job at Dr Gerald Becker's office in Shoreline. I went to interview with Dr. Becker and truly loved him and his staff, so I accepted the job and started two weeks later. I am still employed at Dr. Becker's office and I love every aspect of being a dental assistant.

Selena Byrd, class of 2005

I loved all my instructors at NSDAA, they all made my learning experience the best. The staff works with you not only during the course, but also after graduation. They're more than just teachers, in some ways they become a family. The small class size is wonderful, it made it easy for an instructor to work with one to two students at a time. This way, I was able to learn alot more than being at some of the larger schools where they may have thirty students in a class. I have been out of school for a month now and at this time I'm externing at Debra Cederbaum's office while waiting for an opening at one of the King County Dental offices.

Galen McMahon, class of 2005

Hi my name is Galen and I love all of the staff at NSDAA, they make learning fun! After graduation I decided that I wanted to work in a dental lab because I like to make things and I love to work with my hands. I applied to B & H Dental Lab, which is now known as Sea Brook Dental Lab in Edmonds. Because of what I was taught in class I was able to take that knowledge and expand into the lab field. One of my favorite things to do in class was taking x-rays. Cheri Donlin, who teaches this at NSDAA, is extremely knowledgeable in the dental assisting field as well as being awesome at teaching the different ways to get the best x-ray. My next favorite thing was how to make a beautiful temporary crown. This was great fun because you get to be creative. It's what I learned in this section of the class that got me my job at the lab.

Danielle Dillman, class of 2005

I enjoyed my experience at NSDAA, because the instructors really do care about what their students succeeding in the dental assisting field. They will work with you in class and on an individual basis to make sure that you understand every aspect of the curriculum. Within two weeks of graduation I had a job with Dr Karen Sakuma in Kirkland. It's an extremely fast paced office, and were it not for the training that I had in proper dental assisting techniques and working in a systemic fashion, I would not be able to work in the office that I'm in. Dr. Sakuma is amazed in the dental assisting knowledge that I learned at NSDAA. I would recommend NSDAA to anyone interested in becoming a dental assistant.

Randi Tangen , class of 2005

NDAA taught me the basics of dental assisting and gave me a chance for a career. With the friendly staff and the small classes, the setting of the school is home-like. I graduated feeling confident that I could easily walk out and get a position within the dental field. I now work in Issaquah with Eastside Pediatric Dental Group. I love my job and am happy I chose NDAA. Without all the help from Cynthia, the staff and the great class schedules, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I have with a full time work schedule. Thank you NDAA for all that you do!
