Linda Pickles, class of 2008

I enjoyed everything about NSDAA, especially the staff! Their patience and willingness to help made lectures and learning procedures fun and exciting. I was able to take everything I was taught and apply it towards the job I have now, which I love! Cynthia still calls to see how everything is going...how often can you say that about past teachers? I would recommend NSDAA to anyone interested in becoming a dental assistant.

Maricor Magat, class of 2008

I attended NSDAA in Winter 2008. I'm so grateful for my experience there. I was taught all the essential aspects of being a dental assistant and more. The small class size allowed for the staff to pay attention to each student individually. The program also allowed for me to keep a full time work schedule, which was very important. Two weeks prior to graduation, I was offered a position at Lynnwood Children's Dentistry. I love working with kids and wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks to Cynthia and the wonderful staff at NSDAA, I now have a career.

Agnes Zydek , class of 2008

I attended NSDAA during the Winter quarter of 2008. It was a fast paced program with the best instructors around. The staff at NSDAA is very knowledgeable, experienced within the field, and always passionate about helping students succeed. I would highly recommend NSDAA for anyone that is interested in the dental field. I truly enjoyed my time at NSDAA and would not change a thing about it - it's a great school.

Marchel Jorgensen, class of 2007

I graduated in the fall of 2007 and was hired within 3 weeks of graduation. I work for Munson & Rude Endodontic practice in Kirkland. This is a very fast paced office with high demand and I feel that if it weren't for the training I received from NSDAA I wouldn't be here today. NSDAA has high standards set for their students. The individual attention you receive from the instructors is outstanding. With a small class size, Cynthia, Cheri, and the other instructors always make sure you receive one-on-one knowledge, clinical and chair side training throughout the program. I would highly recommend this school if you want to have a bright future as a dental assistant. Thanks Cynthia and all the staff at NSDAA.

April, class of 2008

I graduated from NSDAA in May of 2008, and by mid-June I received a job working for a great female dentist in the Kirkland area. By the time I finished NSDAA I felt ready and excited to get a job in the field of dental assisting. I enjoy going to work every day! NSDAA is a fantastic school that allows you to work full time while starting a new career. They also have an amazing staff to go along with their awesome program. If you're considering this career, then you should be thinking about NSDAA!

Wendy, class of 2008

My experience at NSDAA is something I am very grateful for. All the teachers are knowledgeable and informative. Cynthia is always available to answer any questions or concerns I have, even now that I have completed the course. With the skills I learned at NSDAA, I was able to start my career at a periodontal office 4 weeks before I graduated. I would recommend anyone looking to start a career in dental assisting to check out NSDAA.

Tara, class of 2008

I heard about NSDAA from a friend who had recently graduated and had nothing but great things to say about the staff and school. I had always thought being a dental assistant would be a fun and challenging job. I called the school and met with Cynthia Curtis. After the meeting, I knew this was the school for me: class sizes are small, great one-on-one with the teachers, open labs and classes that fir my schedule. One of my main concerns was being able to find a job after graduation. With the help and advice from Cynthia and the staff, I was able to find a job before I graduated. I love my job an an orthodontiost's assistant. I know that what I learned about dentistry and assisting from NSDAA landed me my dream job. the certificate opened doors for me, and I was confident enough to apply for any type of assisting job in the dental field. Even though I graduated in May of 2008, I can still call and ask advice and know that Cynthia will be htere for me. I cannot express how much I love the staff at NSDAA and would recommend the school to anyone interested in dental assisting.

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.

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.

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.

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!
