Ms. Rushell is a great instructor one-on-one, and when we are in groups, she is very good at giving out good instructions and always asks us if we understand and need any more help or have questions before moving on to something different. She is always giving out good advice for the future and now so we can be good dental assistants in the future. Read less

I started my dental assistant program , 12 weeks ago . I can say I have truly enjoyed the program , it was once a week . I would t have been able to do this if it wasn’t for the amazing instructor Ms. Rochelle. She wasn’t just a normal instructor she strive to help everyone to succeed and become the best . I learned so much from her and will be in debt to her for everything she has taught me . I highly recommend doing this program if you want to become a dental assistant. Read less
