In a nut shell this course is quick, intense and pain free. If you show up, do the home work and study this course is for you. The instructors were great and it was Saturday only for 10 weeks for 8 hours. Persistence and a GREAT attitude will win you a position as a registered dental assistant in a great office after completing this basic course of dental assisting. I give the school 4 stars because I think they are still teaching some old school techniques that no one uses any more. IE: amalgam fillings, dycal. All in all this was a great crash course in dental assisting. I completed this course with high grades and now have the career of my dreams. Persistence is the key.

I will be graduating from here tomorrow and I have to say, this school is definitely worth it! The teachers are all amazing and very detailed in teaching us what we need to know! They have all helped me a great deal and have absolutely no problem answering any and every question you have. They work with you until you get it right! It may be an intense course, but if you put in the effort, pay close attention, and do the work, you'll pass with flying colors! 🙂

I have nothing but good things to say about the school! I had first visited a school in the same city my boyfriend goes to school and this one does NOT compare. Amanda, who was the one that showed me around, was sooooo friendly and I loved that she made me feel welcomed the minute I walked in through those doors. I am so excited and look forward to starting my class on April 9th!

We had a large graduating group in March 2014. We all became friends and to this day we still communicate with each other even though we have gone our separate ways to different states. The education we received at HDAS was supberb and top notch. Best decision you can make going here. I have a picture if you would allow me to post of our graduation date.

I attended the Katy location during the height of COVID. I was worried about attending this school online during the stay at home order but the directors really bent over backwards to help. At the Katy location Christi Hallman is amazing and empathetic and extremely hands on. She is VERY passionate about what she does and wants nothing more than to see us all succeed no matter the circumstances. I want to say a big thank you to all the directors especially Christi and Eric for still making this possible during a really hard period when most places shut down. You guys never quit on us and I am so thankful.
