4 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Memphis, TN (2022 Updated)

From the first day I came in to visit the school until I graduated, everybody on campus was fantastic. Any time I needed help or was struggling, there was always somebody to help point you in the right direction. Everybody I have come into contact with has been extremely helpful. Throughout your program, you will remain in contact with a success coach, for me this was Mr. Hollis. Your success coach will reach out and contact you just to check up on how you're doing and see if there is anything that they can help with. Coming from a 4 year institution, I did not the advantage of a success coach and this adds a level of accountability which helps you to succeed. I have never met more down to earth individuals who truly care about helping you to succeed.Zachary Baker

I just finished one of Concorde’s many medical programs. My admissions advisor was Mr. Todd Hollis, although I believe he works primarily in the business office now, he was a great first impression as to the kind of people Concorde has working for them to help the students succeed. Mr. Hollis answered any and all of the questions I had. He walked me through the step by step application process over the phone as I was completely things on my computer at home. During my time as a Concorde student, Mr. Hollis would always stop and ask me how things we going and always reiterate that he was there to help. All of staff at Concorde really care about the students and want to see them succeed!Kourtney Payne

My name is Mya Griffin and I just completed the Medical Assistant program. All I can say is this school alone was absolutely amazing, but I couldn't start or get through my certification without the help of Mr. Todd Hollis. I thank Mr. Hollis for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. If you are thinking about going to Concorde Career College I recommend you go through Mr. Hollis he will make sure to motivate you if you don't have any I promise.Mya Griffin

I have nothing but good things to say about Bellano Dental. I have been going there for a year now. They have modern technology and great customer service from the front of the reception area to the dental assistants and Dr. Turner. Shoi has been my favorite dental assistant so far. They’re all great, but Shoi has been with me through my dental implant process and made sure I felt okay and was honest about what to expect even if it was something painful. She greets me like she’s known me forever and I appreciate the effort she makes to make her patients feel calm and safe. Dr. Turner is the same and he doesn’t make you feel like you have to spend money. He gives various solutions and is not after your money at all. The work is the best I’ve seen. Everything looks natural and is done with extra care. I would highly recommend this dental group!natalia yarger

I certainly agree with all the positive reviews for Bartlett Bellano Dental Health. I was suffering with gum swelling and pain. Missy was so very helpful with my need for an emergency appointment as a first-time patient. She scheduled an appointment the same morning I called. All the staff were pleasant, professional and caring. Dr. Turner helped me understand what was going and how he could treat it. He was gentle and patient and put me at ease. I’ve found a new dental home with Bellano and I’m grateful for their professionalism and care. Absolutely 5 stars!Gale Jamison

I was out of town and started having pain on my tooth. I called and was lucky enough to get in to see Dr. Turner!!!He was wonderful!!! I ended up having to get a root canal which he accomplished with no pain whatsoever. His assistant Shoi, made sure I was comfortable through the entire procedure and also did a wonderful job. Not only did they both do a great job, I was in and out of the office in no time, which surprised me especially having to squeeze me in at the last minute. Two thumbs up to both Dr. Turner & Shoi for job well done!!!Jenny Thompson

I will start by saying I was extremely terrified to start something new in life! However, everyone at ADAA has been extremely helpful and encouraging. Everything is fast paced so you have to really want it and work hard. All the tools, materials, and support is there which I am very thankful for. Two weeks until graduation and I feel confident I will do great at my new career due to the staff support. Never stop accomplishing your dreams and goals! Thank you ADAA for fully supporting me all the way! ❤️Angela Russell

I really enjoy being an instructor for the school! Me and my coworkers go above and beyond for the students! This 10 Saturday course is fast paced, but you will get so much out of it, and will become a dental assistant in just 10 short weeks!!! I would recommend this school to anyone.Chelsea Harris

ADAA is very hands on and the team goes above and beyond To get the student ready for dental assisting in the real world. It’s a ten week program, but you are allowed to do as many clinical participation days with the doctor as you want. I really like that.Sarah Smith

I went here from September of 2018-May 2019. Classroom: My instructor didn’t really “teach” but was available if questions needed to be answered. It was quite a chilled and laidback classroom setting. Curriculum was easy to follow. The coursework was pretty much laid out. Breaks: I really liked that we had our own lunch area at the back of the classroom because, well, there was no way I was going to the main cafeteria with that crowd. These people would not clean up after themselves and were extremely loud and chaotic. No way. Environment: Most of my classmates were respectable peers, however, the students at this school have issues. If you are a decent person that keeps to herself, beware— bootmouth thots run amok and will hate on you for absolutely no reason, hints of racism from foreign students and domestic students will be apparent and students belonging to certain programs will stick their nose up at you. 100% not joking nor exaggerating. Social depravity at its finest. Student Services: Hit or miss. It can be super crowded in there during January, May, and September. Please don’t go during these times unless you want your paperwork “misplaced”. I have no real complaints other than some of the staff seem to be mentally lacking and this could be crucial for requesting your diploma, transcripts or waiting to receive your check disbursements. Overall, Classroom: C+ Breaks: A Environment: F- Student Services: C Decent, (for the budget) school to get your foot in the door of whichever career choice you pursue.JustTerri

The employees here are very unprofessional and very much comfortable in doing whatever it is that they want they catch attitudes and make you jump through all kinds of hoops to get what you need. I was trying to get my test scores and as soon I finished testing I was told the test giver was gone for the day after 45 mins of raising suspicion and asking to speak with her boss she suddenly appears and gives me my test scores they speak to students here in a manner as if your incarcerated. Employees at this location lack proper etiquette when it comes to professionalism I tested at this location three times before I was informed that we could use a calculator for the math portion of test finally I pass the test when I used the calculator and was waiting on test scores so that I could sign up for classes in September at the covington location sadly I didn't make the deadline due to the test giver leaving for an hour and wasn't able to get all my paperwork in time for 2022 class year so I'll be attending classes fall of 2023 there needs to be an in-service given to the employes of tcat memphis on basic job responsibilities because you guys lack what it takes horriblyJAYE BURD

Seriously considering going anywhere else but tcat for education next semester. Idek what the curriculum is. Ive been in school for about a month. I havent learned anything useful. Cant buy school books because the schools certifying official went on vacation in the middle of certification. That lasted two weeks. Now that ive annoyed them into cooperation, apparently school funds and financial aid are late or have been pushed back due to my certification being processed late by the said certifying official. In addition to this Im being mislead by multiple tcat employees on fund availability. Online payment schedules havent been accurate. Im loosing bill money paying out of pocket and no school official ive talked to moves, genuinely cares, or helps unless i act out or until theres nothing they can do. And Maybe its because of the pandemic bt PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING If youre looking to attend a school your better off anywhere else.Jay Curtis
