Testimonials

“Open Door makes a difference in the community. By joining the team, you will provide vital dental care to children and adults who are underserved in our area. This is the reason why I applied to Open Door dental 16 years ago. I wanted to help people who don’t have other opportunities for a nice smile, dentures, or to be pain-free.”

Sam Hani, Administrative Site Director – Burre Dental

“I was wanting a change in job position and knew that I had an interest in dental assisting but was unsure how I would be able to become a RDA if I didn’t go to school.  Open Door encouraged my interest by offering on the job training and paying for the necessary certifications.  To be able to advance in my career and working at the same time to help support my family has meant so much to me, thank you Open Door!”

Savannah Magana, DA – Burre Dental

“I started at Open Door in the front desk area and when there was an opportunity to train for the back office I quickly put in for the position.  Being able to learn and grow in another area of dental has been invaluable to me and I have proven what an asset I am to the team.  It’s great to work for a company that invests in you as an employee, offers upward movement in your role and supports you in your learning.  The people I work with have become family and I’m glad to be a part of them”
