My time at Hawaii Dental Assisting Academy has enriched my life in so many ways. Not only in education but gained lasting friendships, gained personal pride, and has equipped me with the skills to make my life better. I’m grateful to have had Ms. Mercie as my mentor, personal friend, and through her guidance with the HDAA staff, I’ve reached my goals in the dental assistant’s field. I encourage every aspiring student interested in the dental profession to get involved and take advantage of this wonderful Academy.


Firstly, I want to thank Mercie Uy for EVERYTHING. I was injured at my previous job and was in the process of trying to figure out what to do for a career going forward. I always had a bit of interest in the dental industry and luckily I found HDAA! I signed up and didn’t know anything about dentistry except for some basic knowledge we all pick up from media or our visits to the dentist. I went from a blank slate to being hired and loving my job. I was even promoted to a lead position! Thank you HDAA for all of the knowledge and guidance you’ve provided me. I would recommend HDAA to anyone who is thinking about becoming a DA, it will equip you with the tools necessary to succeed and ensure you have the confidence to keep learning and growing even after you are hired as a DA. HUGE thanks to April as well, who allowed me to shadow and get in-chair experience during my externship, it really made an impact on my skill set.

I look forward to seeing more success stories coming from HDAA! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

My name is Jesica. I am an alumni at HDAA c/o:2018. HDAA has gained my confidence and knowledge to become an amazing Dental Assistant. I have made new friends and I have met the most intelligent most wonderful instructor ever Ms.Mercie. Being her former student of HDAA, Ms. Mercie went beyond measures for me to get where I am today, it’s because of her that she molded me into the women I am today, because of her I finally got my dream job working with the Military, and because of her I got the courage and confidence to go back to school for my CDA (Certified Dental Assistant) which will help my in the long run in my career as a dental assistant. I just want to thank each and every one of Ms. Mercies staff for all there encouragement and motivation throughout the crazy sleepless nights I may all have, HDAA will always be a part of me as.
