Who We Are
Legacy Dental Assisting is a new dental assisting education institution founded by Dr. Goyal, a distinguished dental professional who graduated from Nova Southeastern University with his Dental Degree in 2015. After gaining valuable experience at the prestigious Chicago Dental Arts on Michigan Avenue and successfully expanding to three dental offices by 2025, Dr. Goyal recognized the critical shortage of qualified dental assistants and the extreme difficulty in finding qualified candidates for these essential positions.
Working alongside his partner Bipin Attavane and with the amazing Samantha R Roadruck as lead instructor, Dr. Goyal's vision was to create a comprehensive training program that would address this industry-wide shortage while preparing students for immediate success in this growing healthcare field. Drawing from his extensive experience operating Ethos Family Dental and Serenity Dental & Orthodontics, our curriculum is built on real-world experience and industry best practices, incorporating the latest dental technologies and techniques that Dr. Goyal uses in his own practices.
