Our comprehensive credentialing process an adaptation of an empirical formula that objectively and subjectively evaluates and ensures optimal standards that our listed dentists have rightfully earned, in other words, our goal is to have REAL facts from REAL people associated with our dentists. Persons directly related to them, such as, patients, labs, mentors, are asked relevant questions related to the dentist, and they are expected to provide unbiased honest feedback. This gives the selected Top Dentists factual credibility, therefore. this is an invaluable resource for consumers, specialists, and all dentists that are in search for optimal dental health.
In February 2006, Top 3 Dentists commenced rigorous research inorder to provide an independent assessment of highly trained dentists in all dental categories. A broad range of sources and comprehensive data search, ensuring a meticulous system of quality control, were utilized to obtain a nominee pool of candidates that fulfilled certain criteria and protocols. To this date, we continuously strive to improve and update our data.
Top3dentists prides itself by revoluionizing dental referral resources; implementation of a unique multi-step, mult-faceted process that incvolves a 360 degree evaluation comprised of peer recognition, professional achievement , and a credentialing system. We definitely don't rely on the "just ask your friends" mostly relying on the hospitality facet, neither do we rely on which dentist "paid" the most, the common business facet of most all other referral sites.
