 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Stellar was great. I was at MJC taking classes for a major I had no passion in and felt lost. I found dental assisting as a career path that seemed interesting. I had done some research and reached out to a couple of schools but stellar was the first one to respond. When I went in to have a meeting I knew that this was the right decision. Once class started I met my other 13 classmates that all had the same interest as me. I had two amazing instructors. Ms. Gil and Mrs. Pale were amazing and taught not only the basics but real world skills that helped me excel when I went to extern. During my 6 months at Stellar I fell in love with dental assisting and wish I had pursued it earlier. At Stellar, I met amazing people that are now close friends, am a graduate, and have a career that I love. Thank you to everyone at Stellar who believed in me, and I recommend coming here!
