Testimonials

“Dental Divas pushed me out of my comfort zone. I needed to find a job and hesitantly came to a networking event (I have never enjoyed these things). Catalina Wandless was incredibly welcoming and hospitable and took time to speak to everyone present, which was not what I’m used to in a networking event. She was insistent that I speak with a friend who was hiring, and got me in contact with her. That turned into a phone interview, face to face interview, and ultimately a job in teaching! I’m glad I went that night and I’m glad Catalina took the time to speak with me, because she lit the pathway to a new and challenging adventure for me. Thank you for all that you do!”

The CE’s through out the year to keep me current on topics and keep my license. Thank you Catalina (and admin) for all that you do and hard work you put in for the dental community! You took my career to a new level!”

“Dental Divas has been great! Our office has experienced rapid growth and have needed to hire additional front office, assistants and Hygienists. We have found quality employees and couldn’t be happier to have found this group. ~ Jessica Burns – Office Manager, Oefinger Dental & Associates. I found my first permanent dental hygienist job through this site (only 2 weeks after I received my DH license) I want to thank my former instructor, at Concorde Tara Thompson McCue for telling us about this site! Hope to meet the rest of the dental divas soon.”

“The Dental Divas page is definitely my go-to source for answers to any dental questions, concerns, or curiosities I may have. The platform consistently provides a wealth of information, from updates on new and exciting products to insights on potential scams targeting dental offices. It’s an invaluable resource for CE hours and professional development. Not to mention the staffing help. Catalina’s dedication and expertise make Dental Divas an essential tool for anyone in the dental field. Catalina and Dental Divas have proven their value in more ways than one. Recently, Catalina alerted us to an individual fraudulently representing himself as a hygienist to several offices in the San Antonio area. When this individual approached our office, my doctor recalled Catalina’s warning, allowing us to avoid a potential issue. This proactive approach underscores the critical role Dental Divas plays in safeguarding the dental community. 10/10”

“I have used Dental Divas off and on since Covid the last four years and it’s been a very pleasurable experience. I love working one-on-one with individuals and I’ve always felt dealing with them has been that way. They’ve always been there when I’ve needed them and have helped me out more than I can say. It is very rare that you find a company that goes above and beyond your expectations. I would definitely recommend their services. “
