What Our People Are Saying

Julie

Dental Assistant

I started my career as an EFDA at the Grand Ave location and soon realized that, using my EFODA certification, I could join the Grand Ortho Team. I really enjoy my co-workers and was happy to stay with the same team. Being able to use the Kaiser Permanente and Union education funds allowed me to work toward my hygiene goal — such as applying to hygiene school this year!

Dental Assistant

Coming to work for Kaiser Permanente has been an amazing experience. After taking time off to raise my babies, everyone came together to help me feel comfortable and become the best assistant I can be. The OYD office especially has made me feel so welcome and at home; they have been here whenever I needed anything! I am so happy I came to work for Kaiser Permanente Dental.

Dental Assistant

I have worked for Kaiser Permanente for over 11 years and started my journey opening a new dental clinic at Kaiser Permanente Oregon City. I started to work as a general dental assistant and moved to dental pediatrics for about five years. I eventually transferred to Johnson Creek Dental working as an oral surgery assistant. There are so many opportunities here. Great pay, benefits, free education, and plenty of room for growth within the company.
