20 Best Dental Assistant Programs In San Francisco, CA (2022 Updated)

Two years ago I had the good insight of enrolling in Concorde's PTA program. The program is run by knowledgeable Physical Therapists invested in quality education (Mary, Sam, Laura, Kelly, Dennis). They provided me with the necessary tools to start a new career and enter the work force feeling competent with my skills. The school has a department dedicated to assist graduates find a job, Alvy has personally helped me with this, he even rendered a mock interview so that I would show up to a possible employer as a strong and coherent candidate. Because the program is so well organized (from prerequisites to clinical rotations and even when/how to signing up for your board test!) it is easier to have a balance school/personal life. And when you approach the school, Karl, the security officer at the entrance, is the most welcoming and kind person that will ever open a door for you.Yawi Griffini

My experience at Concorde has truly been astounding. I joined the Medical Assistant program and my teacher Ms Tameka was nothing short of a great instructor. She was very patient, compassionate and dedicated to ensuring that every student learned even if it meant staying late or adapting the way she presented materials.The Financial staff Eva and Peetee were very efficient in handling my paperwork so that I could dedicate my focus to studying and be successful. Upon completion my graduate employment specialist Rocky was a true rockstar. I had no faith in using their services but this guy was very helpful in making sure my resume was top notch and that I was interview ready and confident enough to land jobs and ask for the money I deserved. I am very thankful for all of the staff at Concorde for helping me to be a success in the healthcare field today!Neshia B

I attended Concorde Career College for the Medical Assistant Program and after completing, I am now a graduate!. After completing my externship, Rocky Ramirez who is our graduate employment specialist assisted me with my resume and employment opportunities. Not only was Rocky very helpful but he goes above and beyond on ensuring that his students are fully prepared for the next step. He was always available when I needed his help, always checking in to see how things are going. You can definitely count on him for anything. Thanks to rocky, I am now employed! He surely does the best job with helping each one of his students at Concorde! :)) Thank you again Rocky!!Gabriella De Soto

I started the program with Ms Perez as my lab instructor and ended with Ms Patrice. I'm older, laid off from a 25yr career and didn't know what to do with my life let alone where to start. Ms Perez and Ms Patrice made learning so easy, fun and amongst all, they made it interesting and made me feel excited to keep attending. The process at Unitek is easy to complete due to the communication level the staff has with their students. My career advisor, Ms Lisa is great! Ms Lisa Literally held my hand through the exiting process, kept in touch throughout my externship, made sure I was staying sane throughout the process of going to extern, working nights and taking care of my family. Walked me through my application process for a job, held my hand through the interview process, kept in touch throughout the whole process until I got an offer letter!!!! My experience with everyone at Unitek was great, but my experience with Ms Lisa is one that needs to be recognized!!!!Chris Fusi

I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Patrice my laboratory instructor and Ms. Perez. Both have mentored me & helped me become the MA I am today. Ms. Lisa Haynes in Career Services is a hard worker & goes to bat for her students. I received a job offer during my externship, that was too good to pass up as a new grad, thanks to her guidance. I recommend taking your MA in the day class as the PM class lacks structure & professionalism with one particular teacher…that is the only reason I left off a star. The school itself has a fully functioning lab for clinical experience, is safe, clean, holds dinners or gives treats for student morale and tuition is less than other schools in the Bay Area.Jennifer Wills

Instructors are professional with vast and extensive work experiences. They are genuinely caring and helpful for the sucess of the student and learning environment. Each department provided substantial support that made going through the program easier. Courtney and Rachel with Career Services gave us the confidence and tools to help make the transition from student life into the working world smooth.Gigi Tamayo

I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to become a DA or RDA! Everyone is so sweet and willing to help. The classes are so convenient and to the point. It went by so fast! Other students and I got a job before graduation, thats how amazing they are. I have referred a few friends here and they are also doing great in thier new dental offices which we owe to Noha for going out of her way to help us with! Now as a Dental Hygiene student, I am so happy I made the choice to come here as they taught me valuable skills that I will keep with me for my future trade. I still keep in touch, even after graduation, with Noha. She's such a gem of a person and has helped me and others tremendously. Do yourself a service and give them a call!Brianna Haro

Still over tha moon. I just passed my Registered Dental Assistant Exam. Thanks to Fullerton Dental Assistant School, Ms.Noha, Ms. Claudia, and the rest of the staff. They have been helpful all the way from the training, job placement assistance, completing requirements for exam. I am so grateful for all the help and support the school has given.Ruby Grino

Going to this school was an amazing experience for me! Noha and the instructors were awesome with enthusiasm and support. Noha was good on sending reminders and keeping in touch. I’ve had the opportunity to branch out of my comfort zone and make new friends. They’ve helped me grow as a person and to me they’re like family!Gen Lopez

Minorities please think twice about going here , if you hang out with minorities please think twice about going here if you’re related to minorities… PLEASE think twice about going here . At orientation the owner of the school told the whole nail tech class to not be “ghetto” at this school and looked at me and another African American student directly in our eyes and we asked her what she meant and she didn’t elaborate but repeated herself another time. There have been so many incidents of harassment and making up rules as they go . The principal and owner are related so there’s no point in requesting meetings or looking for resolutions because they will team up with eachother and the best part I was kicked out WEEKS before graduation , the OWNER stated that she did not think I wanted to be successful because she knows my Type I wonder what that means ….. please run far away from this school .Adore Anala

I've been coming to B.A.B.E. for a few years now, they're the only place I go to get my hair done. I've had great experiences with all of the students and instructors, and my most recent appt I had with miss Justina. I went in with a hot mess of a grown out asymmetrical cut, and knew I wanted a long pixie. Justina really helped calm my nerves about such a drastic and dramatic change in my hairstyle, helped me sculpt a true work of art, and I have to say I will DEFINITELY be requesting her services again. I have to recommend B.A.B.E. and Justina, call and ask for an appt with her, trust me, you will not regret it!Allison Hunter

Had made an appointment my very first time coming here, staff was excellent as well as my hair done by Amanda Barber. The teacher walks around and helps everyone achieve what they need by giving them tips as they’re working. I was very impressed with the professionalism and enthusiasm of the place. Definitely coming back and encourage anyone to go that’s wants a good outcome at a decent price.gina cianna

This is the best Dental Assistant program and has the very best instructors. Mrs. Lindsey is amazing, sweet and very knowledgeable, she makes the class fun while giving great instructions, she will help you find a great job. Her assistants  Shannon, Rachel and Nicole are lovely. The program it's hands on and the class size is small so everyone gets all the help they could possibly need.I will always be thankful for choosing this school. A week before finishing the program  I got hired at a Pediatrics Dental office. This is the best investment you can make, you can still go about your normal life with the school schedule.You will be making the best choice if you attend this school.Yamile DH

If your looking for a dental assisting school, look no further!! Miss Lindsey is an amazing instructor and will help you with job placement immediately. She cares about her students and makes learning fun!! Rachael and Angel are so patient and eager to help everyone. I really enjoyed the hands on learning experience and will be forever grateful to everyone that helped me through this course. Thank you Santa Clarita School of Dental Assisting !!Heather Durant-Deagon

I enjoyed my experience. The instructors made learning fun. Lindsey is very fun and animated. Rachel and Angel were a great addition as former students. They were very relatable and able to impart their knowledge and experience they acquired after completing this program. It is fast paced. As with everything in life, you reap what you sow so you really have to apply yourself and live, breathe, and eat dental. It is worth the investment.Malissa Lau

Miss Grant, is so amazing!!!! She's so understanding. She goes above and beyond to make you understand the material. I was a little hesitant of taking this class but my coworker Roslyn Mendoza recommended and said that Miss Grant was the best teacher for infection control and she was not wrong, thank you Miss Grant.. honestly learned a lot today I will bring all the new information to the location where I’m working at..coraal banuelos

The Radiation Safety Course was a great and pleasant learning experience. As an instructor, Ms. Grant was beyond excellent. Not only was she very helpful in the classroom, her uplifting and charismatic personality made every class an enjoyable one. She did her utmost job in making sure we were thoroughly prepared to not only learn the necessary materials and techniques, but also excel at them.Kevin Lopez

This was an amazing class! Ms. Grant was a great instructor! I will definitely be taking another class with them and I will recommend everyone I know. Ms. Grant and the whole class was very helpful and they helped me finish up my last requirements before going into the RDA examination process. I highly recommend this program!Nicey A

I graduated from the Dental Hygiene department at the San Bernardino campus. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. The staff truly has your best interest at heart. They will spend countless hours to ensure the students feel confident and prepared for state exams and our future career. The classes are challenging as they should be. If you put the work in, you’ll succeed in this program. I passed all three state exams first try. On the clinic floor there are multiple instructors and different doctors on staff so you are able to learn from multiple clinicians. Beyond the educational portion, Concorde was like a second family to me. From walking through the doors being greeted by security guard LT, down the hall seeing Mrs. Ludwig’s infectious smile, to the staff lounge filled with inspiring teachers; I know I always have a home at Concorde and have mentors I can connect with for years to come.Dani Alcantar

As a student here I advise not to go to this school for the Respiratory Therapist class. You pay book fees for the ACLS and NRP and they don't let you keep the books. Then they don't tell you that you have to pay for the course because it's not covered. This school rips off there students and you pay unknown fee's. I don't advise this school and you are better off going to a different school. Plus for the last term which is the most important they don't even teach you and you don't go to a seminar for Kettering. They tell you good luck. This school is unprofessional and the RT director doesn't care about the students they just care about money. GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ONE. It's too late for me but I could help out future RT students.Hailey Salvatore

Concorde has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my healthcare career! I got my LVN from a different school and wasn't too happy about the experience, so walking into Concorde to inquire about the Neurodiagnostic I was really leery. Let's just say when meeting with Melody Villa was amazing addressing any and all questions I had, I couldn't be more thankful for her and making me feel at ease in taking this step! After finishing the program I was able to find my forever career and it was all thanks to Concorde and their amazing staff. Thank you Melody for helping me and my future!jeriko carbonell

The teachers here are amazing and wonderful and do not get enough credit for all the little things they do. I was in the vet tech program. All the instructors for vet tech actually are RVT which is cool, cause they have seen so many things and worked in the field for so long, they are all so very knowledgeable. Most of the employees who worked in the office are also very helpful and kind. No one in the entire Carrington College Pleasant Hill location regarding faculty (including staff, office workers, janitors and teachers) gets the recognition they deserve. Everyone i met in the time during my program all went above and beyond what they were paid to do or had to do because the instructors and teachers really care about you and really want you to reach your goals. Any problems or issues you may be having the teachers will always help you or they will find someone who is better equipped to help and understand your issues or problems. The 2 years i spent here because thats how fast you can get your degree and diploma in a 2 year period went back so quick and i would completely do it again. All the teachers have there own way of giving you the information you need but it is your job to study it. My teacher was awesome so there were times when the teacher would stay later then needed just to help me and other studys or review any information that we werent completely comfortable with yet. It's nice to know that the staff, instructors and teachers really want you to know this information and will not get pass anyone who doesnt know there information. You get to work with so many beautiful animals both which students, and teacher bring in from there homes as well as the labs we attend to practice on larger animals such as horses and cows. It was all just one big thrilling event. All teachers, instructors and staff deserve a raise for the wonderful things they do just on a daily basis to help others that goes unnoticed. During my time here at the Carrington College Pleasant Hill campus i also worked there as a student worker. All staff members are overworked and underpaid. The higher up management people who get paid to do a job that they pan off on the others who are lower in ranked get all the opportunities as well as all the recognition for things they have no part in. I have seen multiple people quit or be fired for what others have done which is not right. The CEOs or whomever is at the top and makes the decision for everyone under them needs to pay more attention to there employees and actually realize what they are doing and know what they are worth. The instructors and teachers do not work here because of the pay or recognition that they so rightfully deserve and need, NO. They work here because they love the people here, because they love the students here, it's because they love what they do and they want us students to make sure we love it to. They do not want us paying so much money and taking all these classes if it is not something we actually want and like to do and are good in it. If all the little dogs got paid more and well enough as well as proper trainer for new employees and not just throwing them to the wolves making them feel overwhelmed and adding boatloads of paperwork to a single person already under stress and having a shoulder looked over every minute wondering if they are messing up because no one was there to properly train them, then the employees at carrington college pleasant hill campus would probably stay longer and would not leave due to things being mislooked at. Thank you for your time. I will always love and miss all the teachers i had, all the instructors who taught me something and all the staff members who became my friends both in and out of the work place.satin williams

My experience enrolling in Carrington College was amazing with Annaque Dean helping me with the process. She is so nice and caring I am really happy she help me to star my carrier as a Medical Assistant she believe on me and I will always be greatful with her for all her support and she still there for me I know I can come to her with any questions or problem i might be straggling and she will always help me. She is the best 😊Maria Gutierrez

My teacher for the Dental Assisting course is top notch. Encourages questions and helps students not just learn the information to pass the course but understand the information in order to have a successful future career. For anyone considering a career as a dental professional, Carrington has an A+ program.Whatssit Touya

I have always loved the simplicity and integrity of Safety Training Seminars. For someone who has to take the same CPR recertification course every 2 years, they have always made this process so convenient and easy to do. Now, since pandemic, they have stepped it up a huge notch!! I was so impressed with the new online course and in person unattended testing setup. It was amazing and they made it so easy to complete. I even learned more this time than ever! The testing process now gives you direct feedback on your compressions and your breaths. Gotta say – I am so impressed! Great job Safety Training Seminars. See you in 2 years!Bill Mohler

I ended up doing the class in SF after failing the hands on skills test with the computer assisted mannequin. The problem with the mannequin was that it was not responsive enough to compression depth. I tried 6 or more times to the point of exhaustion and gave up. It needs to be adjusted or only offer the course to line backers. Since I passed the test online I had to go to SF to do skills testing. John did a great job and moved through the material quite well. I would recommend the class over the mannequin especially if you are on the petite side.Joan Collins

Location was great and parking is always easy there. Easy entry and even without an instructor, everything was well explained. The demos helped a great deal and it was great to have immediate feedback on all the parameters from the training. To have it in real time and to really feel exactly how much depth and recoil is needed. Great overall experience without any problemsKelly Stanton

I came here for my dentist appointment for the first time and it is the best experience I have ever had in a dentist office. The staff is so friendly and make you feel comfortable the dentist that saw me explained everything and was so nice and gave me so much info on how to better take care of my teeth. Stella Kim introduced herself to me she was so nice and humble and so welcoming. I felt like I was part of their family and they were so good with the whole experience and procedures done. I would definitely recommend this dentist!!. I'm so glad I found this dentist!.Lilian Lopez

SF Dental has a very professional and courteous staff. I was feeling tooth pain and they were able to accommodate me on short notice. They have great communication at every step of the way and alway keep me informed of the situation and my options. Dr. Desmet is great with caring for the health of my teeth and even has some funny zingers to lighten up the situation. Also impressed by the range of modern technology and tools they have available. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.Kenny Ko

Worst Dentist EVER! Dr Kim is VERY arrogant and rude. She gave me a quite of $1200 OFP cost for deep cleaning. And when I asked her few questions she said-“please leave I don’t practice like this and asked me to leave”! When I went to another dentist (All smiles dental) and they gave me a quite for $600. She is rude, arrogant and not at all understanding, she will bill you heavily and have you do treatments that you don’t even need. . I wish I can give her 0 rating. DO NOT GOT O HERSaman Saleem

I have been a patient of Sansome Dental for a very long time. I was so happy to find a terrific dentist in Dr. Moran and a staff of friendly, caring people who support him. Also impressive is how cutting edge Sansome Dental has been. One example: Dr. Moran has a machine that makes crowns, right in the office while you wait. He had it before many dental offices even heard of it. No more temporary crowns to suffer with just a permanent crown fit perfectly for you in one shot. Dr. Moran has great "chair side" manner, is an excellent dentist. I would endorse him 1000% along with his staff. If you're looking for a dentist that will take wonderful care of you, go to Sansome Dental. You'll be glad you did.Greg Welliver

I went to the office for a dental checkup that was about 90 days overdue to COVID-19. The staff, as always, was attentive, thorough, and adhered to all accepted best practice for responsible care: I was let in (outside door remained locked), my temperature was taken and I was asked the Covid questions. I was asked to gargle with hydrogen peroxide prior to my exam. And the hygienist was gowned, masked, gloved and face-shielded. Everyone was as friendly and low key as ever—in my mind an equally critical part!Jenny Blackburn

Both my husband and I have been going to Sansome Dental Care for almost 20 years. Throughout different employers, healthcare plans and changing circumstances we remain loyal. If we have to pay entirely out-of-pocket we do so – because they are wonderful. From the receptionist, to the hygienist, to the Doctors they provide excellent service & care. Always friendly and patient even when I have trouble remembering appointments and other personal failings that must be irksome. I recommend without reservation.Laura Kuhn

Holden Gate Dental…. Is the place to go and have them take care of your teeth! I have been there patient for a few years and from feeling a bit nervous at my first visit to a complete full confidence! Amazing work! Excellent customer service, amazing care for my personal needs and fears, very light knowledgeable hands, happy spirit and limitless kindness! Dr, Natasha Komissarov is my dentist! Dr. Inessa Sosis is my husband’s dentist! We love them both:) Bravo! She made me stopped being afraid! Thank you!!🙏🏻👏🏻 Annette ShulmanIam Feverfew

Hadn’t gone to the dentist before Covid / moving to SF in 2019. 10/10 recommend: friendly staff, efficient, and straightforward. This will be my dental spot moving forward for as long as I live in the City. My teeth feel SO clean and fresh! Went for a general cleaning and for tooth sensitivity. Got great recommendations on how to keep my teeth healthy moving forward and got some nice product recommendations to look out for in stores. Even got some free floss and lip balm!Carter London

I’ve had many bad dental experiences (both unnecessary and bad work) before so am always weary trying out a new dentist. However, it was so easy to book an appointment (Zocdoc), they made sure I was approved and had the right forms filled out, and the dentist I saw (Dr. Young) was fantastic. He had a really great bedside manner, addressed my concerns, and was able to fix them the same day. Would recommend!Devinne Miller

I first met with Dr Cheng as a second opinion on getting Invisalign treatment. The first orthodontist I spoke to said that I wasn't a good fit for Invisalign because of my underbite. Luckily, Dr Cheng said that while I would be a very challenging case, she could fix my bite using a accelerated Invisalign treatment. She was very thorough in explaining to me the steps she would take to move my teeth and I felt confident that the Invisalign would work. In addition, she consulted with Dr Fateh, a periodontist, to make sure that my gums and teeth would remain healthy throughout the treatment. The overall treatment took 16 months, which was actually less time then I expected. I checked in with Dr Cheng every month or two to make sure the treatment was going on track. I really liked that Dr Cheng took my feedback seriously and modified the treatment to address issues that I brought up. And I also want to thank her technicians for their work scanning my teeth and putting on attachments. I usually get pretty anxious going to a dentist but they did the work efficiently and painlessly. I'm extremely pleased with the results, especially knowing how difficult underbites are to fix with Invisalign. Seeing the before and after photos of my teeth is crazy! I would definitely recommend Dr. Cheng for anyone considering Invisalign!Wei Chan

Dr. Cheng is the best orthodontist, and her office location is so convenient in downtown San Francisco! I came to her for my Invisalign treatment and she was thoughtful and knowledgable in selecting the best plan for me. My case is particularly challenging because I had a cross-bite and slight underbite, but Dr. Cheng was able to correct for that using the Invisalign and rubber bands without surgery, which was a big priority for me. Even after COVID-19 hit, we were able to continue treatment through virtual appointments and telemedicine, and she was attentive in checking up on me and making sure that my teeth were aligning properly. When I went in to collect more rubber bands, her clinic was safe and spotless: she and all her staff wore gloves and masks and sanitized everything before, during, and after visits. She also uses state-of-the-art technology, and as a techie, I enjoyed seeing the modern equipment and software, including the 3-D images of my own teeth and their simulated movements over the course of the treatment. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for orthodontics!Joyce Zhang

Awful experience. I was expecting great things after seeing the reviews but had the opposite experience. I booked in a consultation to talk to Dr Cheng about next steps on my Invisalign treatment which had been paused as I relocated to the US. I was asking very basic, general questions and her expertise on next steps. She was incredibly rude and defensive from the word go right through to when I left. I showed her a photo of my teeth before they'd started shifting back to their pre-Invisalign state – I thought it would be helpful to show her my goal for this next round – and she replied 'I don't really care about Instagram photos' (it wasn't an Instagram photo). She also started telling me completely out the blue how the US dental industry is far superior to the UK's. Er, OK? I made my excuses and left. She clearly has a chip on her shoulder for some reason, a scary attitude and, ultimately, was not at all interested in getting any of my business – a bizarre move from someone who's running a business. Avoid, avoid, avoid.Alice C

After a horrific pregnancy involving months of morning sickness and a residual aversion to the taste of toothpaste, there was little to no dental hygiene happening in my life in Q1 of 2021. I’m the type of person who prides herself on her teeth but this life season with hormones, motherhood, and frequent vomiting, did me and my teeth in. I knew there was inflammation in my gums and possible cavities. As a holistic practitioner myself, I also knew I needed support that goes beyond surgery. Dr. Patel exceeded my expectations. She presented me with a few different courses of treatment that outlined cost, timeline, and rational for treatment. I didn’t have a ton of money to spend on dental work and I hoped that insurance would help. It did! I choose the laser therapy package and straight out of the gate noticed an improvement in my gums. They are pink, happy, and healthy. As a functional medicine dentist, Dr. Patel looks at the body as an organism with complexities and systems, none working alone, each system interconnected with the next. I appreciated our time together. Even though I did not go all out and get everything Dr. Patel recommended, I understand why she recommended it and appreciate her comprehensive approach. Most importantly, Dr. Patel educated me on what could be happening. Ebony and he rest of her crew are warm, down to earth, and a delight to hang with during the usual dreaded “time in the dental chair”. I’d recommend Dr. Patel and Green Dentistry to anyone. Thank you for your help Dr. Patel and staff!Marny Culpepper

My daughter referred me to Green Dentistry. I watched my daughter throughout her life stress about dental visits. It was always a traumatic experience. When she finally found a dental practice that made her feel at ease and provided great service, I had to check it out. Although I've never had any stress issues with dental visits, I immediately understood my daughter's reaction. The staff is extremely warm and exceptionally professional. They provide a variety of amenities to make you feel at home, such as their spa-like services. I initially made an appointment for a regular cleaning. I was pleasantly surprised that it was non-invasive, quick, and thorough. Dr. Patel and her staff are genuine and caring. I felt very comfortable sharing my dental history and goals. Dr. Patel offers a holistic perspective to dentistry. She is concerned how your dental health affects your entire body. After completing her initial exam, she discovered that I needed to address a sleep apnea issue. She fitted me with an appliance for my mouth to correct the issue. So far I have noticed a slight improvement in the length of my sleep. But I've only been using it for less than six months so I expect more improvement with time. You should definitely visit Green Dentistry for expert care in a warm, professional environment.BeLinda Nichols

I held out for years before choosing a holistic dentist…so many claim they are holistic but end up handing you florid toothpaste and don't find the root of the issue causing the problem to begin with. So it was very refreshing to experience a dentists office that focused and my health overall and the connection to everything in the body . Also very calming spa like environment. The doctor was absolutely amazing and highly informed on all things holistic that you would never know were even associated with the health of the mouth! But lastly I had the most present, thoughtful and guided customer care experience with Cristine. She was so thoughtful and intuitive and made a process that would have been impossible without guidance possible with her help!!! You guys are the best!!!Charley Malone

0% of integrity : I'm a new client to Pacific Height Dental, I made my first appointment to fix filling NOT for cleaning, NOT for anything else. On the day of service, they did the cleaning without prior notice, I felt it was okay as long as will have a long-term relationship with them. We made a second appointment to have filling, and they told me that they will send me a copy of the treatment plan including the insurance coverage and co-payment if needed. i came today to my appointment and they AMBUSHED me with a treatment plan, and they asked me to pay first. I decided to leave them because I felt this was an unprofessional and unethical practice. It was really very bad experienceFahad Al

First time with Dr Eriksen and hygienist Tina. X-rays are always a bit mysterious, but the 3-D imaging of my teeth and photos of problem areas were great tools to clearly show me the areas of decay and then discuss options for repair or preventative treatment. The photos also made it abundantly clear how much tartar had built up while I was neglecting getting my teeth cleaned since pre-pandemic. Tina was very thorough and kind about what had to be quite a project scraping off all that tartar. My teeth looked great when she was done and I was not hurting or bleeding, so she deserves 6 stars. I made an appointment for a 6 month cleaning right as I left…Overall a great experience!jennifer marca

I’ve been coming to this dental practice since 1992; for the most part – for the incredible hygienists (shout out to Teena!) I’m lucky to have good dental health. Recent events, due to aging fillings and stress clenching, I developed immediate needs for crowns and replacement fillings – which brought me to Dr Hall. Dr Hall is a very very special dentist. She’s kind, patient, and highly skilled. She developed a plan that would address my care over the course of 2 years so I could afford it. And, her precision and gentle touch made the lengthy procedures seem less invasive. She listens to concerns and addresses them with expertise. I’m grateful to her and her team.Elena Lipkins

I’m at my final stage at Carrington College, because I finished my extenship and in the process of getting hired. And I just wanted to give thanks to Felicia, Alex, Darshweni, Career services ( Lenni and Eva), Corey, Angel, Eleni, Cynthia, Michelle, Jasmine, Mark, my classmates of course, and Carrington College staff for helping me with a better career and to prepare myself for the medical assistant role in the healthcare system. This is a great college to attend for training/lectures to achieve your goals! You will be amazing with the technology and staff working here! You won't regret it!Kevin Boyer

I was very interested in beginning a career in the medical field and and when I inquired I was introduced to Dena and she was extremely helpful with everything i needed to know and answered all my questions, she helped me with enrolling, and it was a breeze. The entire process was easy and quick and I’m already finishing my 1st term. Throughout my entire term Dena kept in touch and made sure I was doing ok and asked if I ever needed anything, she has been more than helpful and attentive. I would recommend anybody contemplating coming here to do it!Tiesha Meacham

Carrington’s staff is so supportive, and truly wants to see their students succeed! I’m a student who has only gone through the enrollment process thus far and they all have made me feel so welcomed and excited to start the program. Dena Asefi specifically has pushed for me to start and get into the program, I know that she will be a great resource every step of the way. Very grateful for the organization of starting process and staff that handles that, it has made me very eager to begin and finish the school year!!Isela Gonzalez

When i began doing research on Dental Assisting, i never realized how many paths ways you can take to become one! So as i began searching for schools i came upon GGSDA and was shocked by the tuition fee and the length of the program, especially comparing to colleges/dental schools. As i narrowed down between two schools i decided to go with GGSDA because for one it’s affordable ($2500), its only ten hybrid classes, and its in the weekends which worked out perfectly because as a FTM it gave me the opportunity not only to have my partner take care of our daughter on the weekends but it gave me the chance to pursue my Goal. Fast Forward to today, i am officially a Dental Assistant! The program Went by so fast, Dr Toni, Dr Val, and Dr Anne are all so sweet, Kind, and super knowledgeable! They Genuinely want to see you succeed. This program teaches you the Fundamentals and dives in to each dental specialty so that when you are done with the program you may have an idea of what kind of specialty you would like to work for. Also i loved how they guide you on how to get your RDA. Lastly, what i really enjoyed about GGSDA is that they help with Job placements and Resumes! Like many others, i myself came into this with no Dental experience so that was definitely a plus. I graduated from this school feeling excited and confident into starting my new Career Journey.Joseline Funes

SIGN UP NOW!!! I actually found this bootcamp through google and I’m so glad I took the leap forward and signed up! I work full time and let’s be honest, I can’t stop working to go to dental school full time for 2 years. Nor do I have the funds to pay for it. Living in San Francisco says it all! Golden Gate School of Dental Assisting was a great opportunity to build a foundation for my new career change and it works perfectly since classes are on Saturdays & Sundays. Literally 5 weekends. The first few weeks are in the comfort of your own home through zoom and the instructors make it fun for you! The hands-on portion helps you build confidence in what you’re doing! Overall, they give you the basic knowledge for dental assisting and help you build your resume so you can start applying to jobs! Once you get hired at a dental office is when the real training begins!Karyn Huey

Hello, everyone! Are you browsing through the reviews?? Well, this is my pov…! If you are questioning yourself, is this legit? Let me tell you it is!! It’s a two month course that focuses in the introduction of dental assisting. It’s very interactive and informational. The amazing teachers were very patient and knowledgeable! They go through everything step by step, even though its fast paced you are able to grasp all the material!! They even help you with your resume, which is great! They guide you on how to contact dentist and offices! I actually was introduced to a doctor near me and I have a work interview the next day after graduating! Which goes to show that they definitely care for your success! I became very close with all the students and everyone left a positive impression! Overall it’s a 10 out of 10 and definitely would recommend!Joselin Domingo Reynoso (JoselinDomingo)

I was a patient of Dr. Inna & the Dental Suite for almost 10 years but it is time to move on. As the office has grown, it has become more of a factory production line with a front office that has become difficult to work with. I've always liked Dr. Inna & she provided competent services, but a few years ago they lost their superstar office manager Jeff and moved to a bigger location, and the practice hasn't been the same since. The front office is difficult to get a hold of – it's unclear when the office is open and if or when they will answer the phone or call you back. They routinely take appointments online for providers that aren't actually available — then call you the day before and switch your provider. This happened to me several times. I'm sure all of their practitioners are competent, but it's a shady bait and switch maneuver. They lost my permanent crown and impressions, then called me the day before to tell me I'd have to come in to have it all redone — yank off the temporary crown (ouch), take new impressions, put another temp on, and go through the whole process again. Painful & unnecessary, not to mention needlessly risky during the height of COVID. I have recently found another practice that I am much happier with — I'm done with the Dental Suite.Craig Koester

I first visited The Dental Suite last summer when they very graciously accommodated me on a short notice for a cracked front tooth, fillings, and cleaning. Parking can be a little difficult to come by so I would recommend you give yourself ample time to get here for appointments. Aside from parking, my experience here has been great so far. They've been following strict covid protocols that made me feel safe and secure in their office, which is kept exceptionally clean. Dr. Baig has worked on my teeth over the last several months and I've noticed a tremendous difference in my oral health. The rest of the staff at The Dental Suite are all so kind, patient, and incredible at each of their jobs. Thank you Dental Suite!Emma Woods

I had such a great experience at the Dental Suite. I was kindly greeted by their office manager Monica upon entering and instructed to have a seat and wait for a dental assistant. Not too long after a dental assistant by the name of Olga escorted me back to an empty room and told me that Dr. Lebo would be in shortly to help me. I came in for a new round of invisilign trays. I have had a bad smile for most of my life and now I am finally able to get it corrected. I can not wait to finally have that picture perfect smile, and it’s all thanks to everyone at The Dental Suite I will definitely be coming here as long as I can and referring this practice to my friends.Mark Johnson

I am personally responsible for creating all the members of this incredible team! As a practicing dentist, I can testify that there was room for improvement in the field of dental assistant training and that we are experiencing a serious shortage of Dental Assistants in our area. We developed a program that keeps tuition low and provides high-quality skills training based on the feedback given by practicing dentists in our area! We are very excited to kick off this revolution in training!Joshua Twiss

I have worked with Aaron and Chris for over a year and have seen the passion, energy, and heart that they have poured into building such a fantastic school, and from experience can say that every person working with this school loves students and dreams of seeing every student at the pinnacle of success. For anyone interested in entering this field, you will not find a more affordable school that is both engaging and student centered school!Tidus Jeht

The instructors are amazing (especially my teachers Professor Dre and Dr. Josh), curriculum is on point, and the facility is state of the art and gorgeous. Great emphasis on soft skills/professionalism, which is missing in most programs. Best way to teach dental assisting, hands down! One thing to note is that the school is very selective because they guarantee a job after graduation (or they refund your tuition).Kim Moore

After almost 6 years I am glad to announce that I found my trusty dentist, Dr. Alireza Khosh. I have been navigating multiple dental offices in the Bay Area over past six years and was unable to find a passionate, diligent and professional dentist as him regarding my complex oral/ dental concerns. He and his crew welcomed me and after initial visits to assess the complex situation he came with two plans for my concern. Since then I am regularly visiting Montgomery Street Dental ,the treatment is getting done as planned with care and I already feel much better and see the progress on my general health. I encourage you to visit this office for consultation if you have oral/teeth concerns and you are seeking a legendary service and life time treatment.Adrina Badal

I have been a patient of Dr Khosh's since 2017. I recently needed a filling repaired on my front tooth and as he does with all his dentistry , Dr Khosh did a fantastic job as he does beautiful cosmetic dentistry. It also was time for my "check up." Dr Khosh uses a combination of the latest in technology, his attention to detail, and years of experience to do a very thorough examination and explanation of the status of my dental health. Cheryl, the hygienist, who has been my hygienist for many years has a gentle touch, excellent hygiene skills, and a calming presence. The staff are always friendly, helpful and caring. Dr Khosh and his team will take excellent care of you as they have always done for me.Ken Freeman

I just got two extractions and fillings done by Dr. Khosh. I was very pleased from the get go as the office staff were very welcoming and professional. The procedure went very smoothly and I was very impressed by how efficiently and gently it was carried out. I’d strongly recommend Dr. Khosh to anyone looking for a top notch prosthodontist, and high quality dental work.Ardavan Fateh
