10 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In Detroit, MI (2022 Updated)

At the start of this program I was very nervous and scared but there is absolutely no reason to be. The instructors, Michele and Kelly, are so knowledgeable in this line of work and prepare you very well, the program is hard since you basically have to absorb all that information in such a short amount of time, but the instructors are there for you every step of the way, but you have to be willing to put in effort as well. The hands on rotations are very helpful and an internship is provided in the same building right below the floor of where we typically are set up for lecture. I would 100% recommend this program to anyone looking to become a dental assistant or just use it to help jump start your future career.Hawra Al

This is a great school, Michele and Kelly are awsome instuctors that truly want you to succeed. The class however is not easy you have to put in the work, but the hands on experience will help you to succeed and be ready to beome a Dental Assistant. Both instructors know what they are doing and are willing to literally hold your hand through each process. If you really want to be a dental assistant,and are willing to put in the work this is the class for you.Beginner Beauty

Hi my name Cathy Steveson I love this school because I’m learning a lot of different things that I didn’t know about. As I look over the years in my life I wish I would’ve known myself better because I would’ve taken this class years ago. I love both of my teachers because they’re sweet, helpful, and informative. Although I am only in week 4 I know that this program will make me a stronger person and I will go further in my dental career!Cathy Steveson

I'm enrolled in a Master's program of Architecture at UDM. The curriculum exactly fits my needs and considers all my previous education. Staff and students here are more like a family, that creates friendly environment especially for new students. Studios here are mixed of theoretical and practical approaches, which expands my experiences in both ways. The school shop has all kind of machines that help in doing models. The school has good ranking and reputation in the area. The dean is such a great person, also he is AIA Michigan president of year 2017. Since I got here, I have learned a lot and my skills increase especially in design and using computer softwares. The professors here are really nice and so helpful, they always have their doors opened for any questions or if you're seeking advise. I have been in contact with U of M when I was applying for a Master's program, I found them careless, kinda lost and unorganized, unlike UDM School of Architecture, they know exactly what're they doing and care about each single student in the school. School here gives students good chance to meet with professionals and big companies to help get them a co-op or and intern position once the student graduate.George Morkos

I do not recommend their clinical psychology masters program. The feedback from professors to students about being too “cheeky”, or “share more opinions” has nothing to do with the ability to practice clinically. The suggestion to share more thoughts/opinions in class if you want a letter of recommendation would not have gotten me a letter of recommendation! Apparently it was relevant if the professors liked you and your sense of humor rather than ones ability to provide therapy and conduct assessment. Overpriced for the value. There are plenty of places to get a degree from. I’ve found little from this program to be useful in clinical practice. The training I received following graduation was much more relevant to my practice than theories, having the DSM read in class, and learning to administer projective assessments. The level of diversity was appalling. The most diverse individual I can recall was a middle aged white male pursuing a second career. He stood out from the 20 something white students.Rachel Rosencrants

I would of received a better education in a third world country then what I received going here :/ I mean what can I say I had a constantly drunk professor, who every single class would be drinking out of his “big gulp” mug you could smell the alcohol on him. I also took a advanced senior leadership class where we actually drew with crayons what we wanted to be when we grow up. long story short save your money don’t go here go to a trade school or get a apprenticeship somewhere. This place will only leave you miserable and in debt my track scholarship helped with some of financials thank god.Mike

Sebrina, Dr. Duncan and Francine and the rest of the team at Dental Careers of Michigan are a very knowledgeable team of dental assisting teachers. I had a chance to view their teaching style first hand what what I loved was the small classroom sizes which allowed the instructors to dedicate a lot of time and attention to each student. I would highly recommend DCMI to anyone looking to enter the dental assisting field.Jon Teodoro

Recent events: 03/24/2020 This is by far the worst place to try to get information. When students call for information regarding their account it states to call student accounts. NO ONE answers the phone. Students are asked to leave a message. Students leaves several messages over a period of time and NO ONE returns calls. Students are to graduate and NEED information to help students. We go in person to speak with someone in students services. The people at the Downtown campus were nice. We called the number that was given (District Financial Aid) and the person (male) that answered the phone was no help and rude. He stated that he would pass the information along and when asked how long it will take? No answer. He was reminded that there is 34 days left for the semester. He was asked 30, 45 or 90 days? or 2 weeks or 3 days? Still no answers. Students call to get answers and students get sent from place to place. WCCCD Need to make an area for Students Accounts. Maybe if there's a section for them students can receive faster information. Disclaimer: Not all staff are HORRIBLE, those who are HORRIBLE make it harder for the ones who do ASSIST students. There should be a list of the staffs who go above and beyond. To be HONORED. The HORRIBLE staffs picture need to be posted on a wall.Truth Matters

Lousy and unprofessional, even by community college standards. The few professors worth anything aren't worth dealing with the rest of them. The people giving this institution high ratings are likely very, very inexperienced with post-secondary education and think this is the standard. It's not. You, dear reader, deserve better than WCCCD will give you. I received my first failing grade *ever* because one of their professors is incompetent about running online courses, and then was churlishly rude in his response when I suggested a way to make everyone happy. Will the college do anything to help? Of course not. They've already gotten my money, and apparently don't realize that greed will cost them in the long run. Don't waste your time or your money here, because they very much do not care about providing a quality service. Take your tuition dollars elsewhere, and I'll take bitter pleasure in the knowledge that I helped some poor student avoid making the same mistake I did.Steven Schnepp

Their staff is very unprofessional! They’re also liars as well, it’s hard to trust anything they say because they never get it done. I wanted to transfer to a university for the winter semester but they needed a letter of completion stating that I have met all their requirements. My transfer advisor said she’ll take an email instead. Do you think they did it? No! Lied to me saying they would. Don’t get me started on the struggle to ask the advisors to send it. Another lie was the official transcripts. They said January 14 was the date they would be ready. I called them and they told me they weren’t ready. A month has passed and the transcript still aren’t ready! Please do not attend this school. I should’ve went somewhere else because they’re so useless.Kourtney Feagin

Wayne State is often overshadowed by U of M and Michigan State. That goes for athletics, academic prowess, and the fact that it is in the very center of Detroit, a city that is really trying to be that much better. And it is. The same can be said about Wayne State. Architecturally, this place is incredible, (a literal sandbox of the famed architect Minoru Yamasaki and worth the visit literally for his buildings and reflecting pool alone). The professors are overall great and push their students for excellence. Unfortunately it is also a place where educational inequality prevails, with a lot of students transferring out, mainly due to systemic inequality in high schools. It is getting better but it is a long road. The "4 year degree" hasn't been achieved by everyone due to having students often "catching up" with core classes. That is the reality. However, if you do make it through, it is worth it. I want to one day see Wayne State placed in conjunction with the big 2 schools in Michigan.Theodore Hynes

It’s a great! Division II school. However, NCAA Division Sports is not the end or beginning to an education. Contrary, Detroit seems to be summed up as oversimplified. The city and the people who go to Universities in Detroit, people of color generally speaking. People of color maybe depicted in a way- propaganda. In addition, WSU is not reflective of stigmatism as much as it’s portrayed In other common wealth area’s of Detroit . – It was called “Detroit Medical College” first. Wiki-1868Brian Crushshon

Wayne State University is located in Midtown Detroit and offers more than 300 academic programs and more than 350 degree programs. It is Michigan’s only urban public research university. It has 61.8% international students from 5 continents. And it’s right in the heart of Detroit!Athra Alkhafaji

Will not be going back here. They didn’t set the expectation correctly of what would happen after a wisdom tooth extraction. I expected the hole to be closed to where nothing gets caught in it and cause it to hurt especially after 6 months of tooth extraction and set another appointment for them to check it out because things kept getting caught in the hole (rice, nuts, anything small really) . A Blonde resident with blue eyes basically came in and got an attitude at me cause she said the hole was as closed as it was going to get and that would always happen… but 3 months post from that appointment it is now closed on its own and nothing gets caught in it… I believe pre- and post op they could’ve caused me less pain if they provided better care. Pre op they said they’d numb me and “gave me max amount of numbing” but didn’t tell me that even with being numbed I’d still feel the pain.. and post op she wasn’t honest about me not being fully healed when I should’ve been. If you gone lie to my face the least thing you can do is smile when you do it.. it was no reason the resident should’ve had a attitude (maybe she thought it was a “silly” appointment”) but the reality is that I’m a concerned patient and my care was in your hands and you failed.. DONT GO HERE.Sandra Brown

Lol, Dr. George cut my mouth UP! And don’t even let me mention how he called me the incorrect gender with NO remorse once so ever. Today I got a wisdom teeth removal and they did NOT tell me any precautions to take as I prepped for the procedure. A receptionist called me at 8am when my appointment was at 1pm telling me everything to do as if it wasn’t too late if I had already did it. Then, I asked if something specific was going to be covered by my insurance and I was lead on to believe that everything was worked out for me, but when I got there, not only was things not worked out, but they wanted me to pay 150 upfront… And then when I decided to go with another treatment, they gave me an absolute run around, making us start about 1 to 2 hours late (and I still had to pay). It is a sometimey situation when it comes to the receptionists as well. They are sometimes rude, but sometimes can come off as very helpful. But either way it goes, when you think they are being helpful, there isn’t much they truly want to do for you and their attitudes reflect that.joya bailey

REVIEW OF THE ORTHODONTICS DEPARTMENT: JOE, the “manager” continues to manage the department to the ground. His staff leaves because they can’t even stand working with him. He always operates on misinformation while also providing patients/customers with misinformation. He harasses the customers. My doctor notified the department months in advance of her permanently leaving. She has now left and the department will not accommodate/schedule her patients until POSSIBLY 3 months later… how do you expect patients to not be seen for consistent orthodontics treatment for 3 months? Apparently they’re not reaching out to these patients to inform them of what’s going on. Instead, they (Joe) is telling us patients that we are scheduled and when you call the office, they say that there is not an appointment in the books. If you want to schedule an appointment, they say the schedule won’t open until August or September. Absolutely unacceptable, extremely poor management, and planning.Buckly Novak

There's definitely pro's and con's of this place. The pro's would be that the things you learn for the 9 months that you're here are very relevant to what you will be doing in the field. The instructors (VA) are extremely knowledgeable in what they are teaching. Personally I felt my instructor personally cares about her students. The con's are more on the corporate side of this place. If something happens to you medically where you are not able to come in for the week (which happened to me) you are docked for the hours that you missed and you cannot make them up, and they can even kick you out if they desire. The whole signing up for Ross thing is very irritating, there's a lot of high hopes for things that are non existent. They give you 20-30 min for lunch (if you're lucky) and they offer no fridges or microwaves to keep your food cool or to warm it up, but they allow the instructors to use them in the teachers lounge which students (who are grown adults) are prohibited to use. This may not seem like a big deal, but when you have to constantly pack a sandwhich or eat cold left overs or buy fast food …it gets old very quickly. You also are NOT allowed to have any water or any other liquids in the classroom with you. So every time you're thirsty, instead of taking a sip of your water quickly, they make you go all the way into the "eating area" to get a sip and miss part of the lecture. Also, a lot of the assignments are very aggravating they make you feel like you're stupid (for example relearning simple addition and subtraction). I think Ross should evaluate their students knowledge a little more before paying $14,000 to do 1st grade math. Also as I was unaware, the program I entered into doesn't make more than $10-12 in the real world. Although the knowledge I've gained is super helpful, it doesn't help pay the bills and now I have student loans to pay off. Do your research before coming here. Also some advice to Ross Corporate, don't blow students phones up to get them to come in and sign up, it's very obnoxious and a lot of the students complained about this. The staff is very kind, but this may be only relative to the Madison Heights location.Victoria Antonazzo

I’m a former Medical Assistant of Ross Medical I had Great instructors and The career advisors were excellent I remember Ms. Lucas was always there for me she guided, listened, give great advice I was placed at a facility that was challenging but with the help from Ms. Lucas I didn’t give up or quit this was my second time doing A Medical Assistant program I took years off in 2010 and when I re-entered the field I came to Ross.. I’m glad I made that call I wouldn’t of crossed paths with wonderful people. In the end the challenging facility didn’t want to let me go. I just want to say Thank You to Ms. Lucas and the whole staff at Ross Medical of Madison Heights.. Love Tanika C.tanika coleman

I am currently a student here- I have really high anxiety, Im the type to need constant help and reassurance and understanding peers and instructors. This place has truly shown kindness, patience and understanding people! I could not be more comfortable here at Ross! Everyone is really there to help you succeed at your future career and provide sources along the way! They are soooo willing to work with you on just about anything! I highly HIGHLY recommend this place!!Winter Frame

I love this school but the teachers in the nursing department on my first day were not welcoming in H112. When I came in I didn’t have on my scrubs you know people do miss certain info I thought we would only need them when we go to the hospital like why do I need them outside of there? Life is already difficult enough then they mention having nails! I feel why can’t I just live my life they don’t even say anything to me and I work in the hospital! Everyone just looking at you crazy because u made a mistake people are so weird these days. Stop trying to make people feel stupid or question them and just guide them like ur supposed to. Then when I was walking away they kept say or we talked about all of this in orientation. STOP ACTING as if y’all never missed any info in your life or made a mistake. I hate when it seems someone is looking down on u.Melanie Murray

I honestly never thought I'd have to leave a review for wcccd but the Northwestern campus is literally one of the worst locations I'd dealt with. I had on site classes for the summer of this year and I received a call asking me to sign up for classes after I told them that I already had classes at NW nothing was done half way through the semester I find out that they don't have me registered with them. I also was doing work-study at the time….I registered and sent my paperwork well in advance to the person that handles it and from the emails that I saw my paperwork wasn't sent off until the last month of the semester. I had to fill out paperwork just to get paid once I found that out I just quit all together and I can never get anyone on the line to speak to financial aid. It's too much of a hassle dealing with this campus.MyaSherre Things & Thoughts

The Wayne County Community NW Campus is beautifully laid out.  The buildings are modern and are in good condition.  There is plenty of parking.  When I went there it was free parking which was a relief.  Their classrooms are kept in good order and the teachers and administration staff are first rate! I appreciate walking around the grounds.  While there I was engaged in a community event which featured Crimestoppers.  It was really well run.  The campus hosts and can be engaged (for reasonable fees) for various activities. They have a great First Responders school at this location and teach all sorts of things about fire fighting, fire suppression, emergency medical response and public safety.  Their financial aid offices are easy to access as well.  The security is maintained all hours of the day and night.Alfred Brock

Was there with stepdad 1/12/2021 and the woman at front desk dropped her mask, and continued to rant/shouting about her kid for about 10 minutes… to the point, I left the office, and stood outside the entrance. That wasn’t the most scary point… As I sat outside the office, I was approached by security (maybe I was in one place for too long) and I said “yes, I’m supposed to be here, but the lady inside WONT COVER HER FACE” – I was left alone, no issue At that point, I stood/shuffling back and forth as I watched unmasked from the nose uncovered to the flat out open breathing (no mask in site) I went to an area where there was nobody around me… there I watched an un masked lady ask a “Security Officer” where the men’s bathroom was. Face to face, no more than 6 inches apart. DOUBT ME? This all happened between the times of 11:00 and 11:15 in the area of the subway East of the dental center. Guarantee there is security film that backs my claims… I was called in to drive a patient at the last minute… so I was unprepared for the half a$$ security…next time!? I’m FILMING! ! ! And feel lucky, I didn’t mentioned the homeless dud, who came in, and picked up a “I’m healthy” sticker off the floor, and slapped it on his shirt. You guys are a mess, and I don’t feel safe at this medical center… your security is junk, they let “chinstrap masking” and “I refuse to wear a mask” mentality, to run rampant.Jfrom theD

It was the best feeling ever walking out of here with my 2 new crowns in place!!!! Best deal around for affordable dentistry! Big shout-out to Nick Ancona who was amazing and patient and very informative! He got the job done ✅ got me out of pain right away. I was very satisfied with the work and patient care. Also thank you to John Gervasi and all the other students who helped with my case. They were all truly amazing and I wish nothing but good things to each of them as they soar on to have practices of their own! Job well done guys 👍 THANK YOUSarah Goforth

Today I went back to this place once againt. I had changed my mond about this molar bothering me. I was told that because I refused to have all my left teeth pulled them out I wasing allowed to come back to this place. That staff made believed they are prejudiced. Since I'm latino they want to used me as they 's studing practice, for the studing to lear how to pull a teeth. Lettle that they know I've a citizen for over 40 years. Hahaha!!!#Lino Jimenez

The price of these implant courses Detroit is a really competitive one. I was taking part in one of the trainings and I can confirm that every participant has a chance to practice on live patient what’s probably the most important part.Shantee Huntley

I am a general dentist in Detroit and I was looking for implant courses for two months. Finally, I found TCP. I couldn't be more happy with the result of the training. The knowledge I gained is amazing.Thomas Kenney

These dental implant courses seems to me as the best option to improve your dental skills in Detroit. My friend persuaded me to participate and now I think that it it was really well spent money.rose everett
