Top3dentists - Credential Dentists Report

Top3dentists is an independent credentialing organization founded by dentists for consumers and dentists in the US. The Credential System reports are based on research on the Training, Accolades, Continuing Education and Years in Practice of each individual dentist. Furthermore, once dentists are selected,their dental laboratories, dental suppliers, dental patients, and all those who have seen this doctor's quality of care first hand (their mentors, instructors, referring doctors), are contacted. These sources are asked to qualify and rate the quality of dentistry provided by this dentist. To have an independent evaluation and to create a real value in the system Top3dentists sole motive has been to create valued reports.

All dentists are not the same, nor do they have the same type of knowledge. Top3dentists sole goal is to provide a resource for those who value quality dentistry. Any one dentist can claim to be the best, or the top in any area of expertise in dentistry. A dentist may call him/herself a Cosmetic Dentist or an Implant Dentistry expert, having taken a simple 2 hour course, or even worse, with no formal type of training. Our goal is to provide you with the proper tools, to evaluate your dentist, and to be able to compare the training and expertise of dentists.

Dental Laboratories speak for about Dr. Stephen Brown

By Posey Labs (Bob Posey)

Do you have a Master Ceramists or a CDT?

Yes,

Impressions: 10

He is at the top in this city so I would definitely give him a 10 on that

Margins of the preparations: 10

Preparation walls: 10

Adequate preparation for porcelain: 10

Preparation design: 10
You know he is always open, he gives us any kind of design whatever we ask for, depending on what kind of restoration he is doing he can cut a beautiful shamper, shamper with a shoulder, so there is really no limitations to his ability

Lab Communication: 10
Well, that’s why I rank him so high because that’s usually the missing link with Docs, you know I would definitely rate him 10 on that, because he always stays connected through email and personal meetings and bringing other dentists together with whom he is doing cases. This makes his communication awesome, his communication: Tops!!.
His ability to communicate and his ability to proceed to finish case before he actually starts the case is awesome, he can actually foresee artistically even before he starts it that how would this look after he finishes it, I think that is really his unique ability, you know not only to have the skills but his vision of dentistry is remarkable.

Lab Comments: 10
I always say that if we had a few more like him we’d be doing great you know, that’s why he is so respected and known by so many institutions because a lot of people talk it and very few have the ability to produce it and he really is the full package, he’s helped so many young dentists come along and he always wants to share his knowledge, we feel ourselves privileged to have a Doc like him.

What else can you tell me about Dr Brown?

One thing I would like to tell you is that the people that know Dr Brown strive to be like him and always tell the other docs to find mentors like Dr Brown, I think when docs would put their ego down, they would be far better docs and better people, better with patients and better with everything just like Dr Brown, again, I think we are so privileged to serve a client like him. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to speak about him.

If you or your family needed a dentist, would you go to Dr. Brown?

Well, we already do

What can Dr. Brown do to become even better? What would you recommend?

He would be the first one to admit that he hopes he is better next year than he is right now, you know he always tries to learn so I think he is open and he is never satisfied with his own ability and that’s what makes him and pulls him apart from his peers and there is no ego at Dr Brown’s part, so honestly speaking it is very hard to say that what is the one thing, I think his attitude is always trying to be better and this is another of his real successes, he demands perfection because he is able to give it but at the same time there is no ego and that’s why everybody loves Dr Brown. He just looks like as one of the team members, he doesn’t put himself on a high pedestal, and that’s really is the problem with out industry you know, so many docs think that … you know we always say that if you are in a room filled with 100 Docs, over 90 out of them would say that we in top 10’s, but in Dr Brown’s case, just look at his study group, he has to pass it off as excellence. He has to keep the intimacy of unique study group otherwise he would need feeders for all of his study group’s meetings, when Dr Brown does an educational things almost everybody is there, it’s not only about the labs but almost all of his peers look at him as a great educator because of his great ability to produce all those things, I think another great and unique thing about him is his personal life, his personal life is so in order and that’s what is something which will tell you about a man, his professional and personal life both reflect each other, his wife is unbelievable, that’s one thing that I really admire about him.

Referring Doctors speak for Dr. Stephen Brown

By Ref Dr. Paul Berson

Quality rating: An overall rating of the dentists and his/her work:

Absolute 10, He is the best periodontist, I wouldn’t work with him if he wasn’t

Esthetics:How nice does it look?: NA He’s a periodontist

Patient management:8
I guess I should not just keep giving him all 10’s because it is a little ridiculous so give him an 8

What do the patient say about their experience at the office of Dr. Brown

Well, they find him very well organized, very professional and they feel that he cares a lot about them

Communication: 9 10
He’s always on top of things, he always sends me emails about what is he doing with patients, he calls me quite frequently whenever he needs to, he’s easily at his cell phone, I can easily reach him when he is not around so all in all it’s an ideal situation

Margins:(Both clinically and x-rays):10

What else can you tell us about Dr. Brown

Well, the main thing is that if I ever needed an implant or gum surgery I go to him personally, so you can’t get a better idea than that, he does a lot of teaching, he runs a study club, he is really into teaching all the general dentists around here so you can’t find a better periodontist than him

If you or your family needed a dentist would you go Dr. Brown

Absolutely

What can Dr. Brown do to become even better? What would you recommend

He is one of the best periodontists in Philadelphia, Once in a while he has some turnover in his staff, and I think if he could keep his staff more consistently it would be better,
His golf is not too good, I play with him and he is not that great

By Ref Dr. Paul Goodman

Quality rating: An overall rating of the dentists and his/her work: 10
He is really one of most particular dentists I have ever met

Esthetics:How nice does it look?:NA

Patient management: 10

What do the patient say about their experience at the office of Dr. Brown

He is excellent is patient management, I have been to his office where I saw the book of letters the patients have sent him and I have interacted with his patients for setting up the cases and his patient management skills are excellent, I really enjoyed working with him, he is a great periodontist

Communication:10
It’s really optimal, he is always on the top of it, he answers emails very quickly and keeps up with the ways to very effectively communicate, also his office staff is great in following up any communication and I think he himself is really great as far as his communication is concerned with his patients and staff

Margins:(Both clinically and x-rays):NA

What else can you tell us about Dr. Brown

I know Dr Brown since 2002, we have a more of teacher student relationship, he is my teacher and taught at Albert Einstein medical center. In general he is constantly heading up with the latest techniques in his dental practice, his latest practice is equipped with all the advanced technologies and it shows how much he cares about the patients, he is a great role model for almost any dentist, he is not only so caring about the patients but also with other dentists, he mostly cares about enhancing and teaching the people about the latest trends of dentistry and this is really noteworthy about him that how well rounded his practice is.

If you or your family needed a dentist would you go Dr. Brown

Oh Yes, without a doubt! He is so meticulous, he is excellent in what he does and one of the things which is most impressive about him is that he has been practicing dentistry for 40 years and still really cares about learning and doing the best as possible.

What can Dr. Brown do to become even better? What would you recommend

It’s hard for me to think and answer this from clinical end, the only thing which I am not going to say in way that it’s not a good thing would be that he is such a perfectionist and being such a perfectionist may be sometimes take longer to get some of the procedures done but that’s why I would want to go to him because I want a perfectionist, he is such a mature practitioner, his staff is really good, I really cannot find something in which he needs to improvement, instead of recommending something to him I would rather compliment him for being perfectionist.

What do the patient say about their experience at the office of Dr. Brown

His patients seem so pleased, he does the excellent work and handles them beautifully, they have a good feeling about their experience with him.

Communication:10

This is excellent, he provides us both written and verbal contacts of the patients that he refers too.

Margins:(Both clinically and x-rays):NA

What else can you tell us about Dr. Brown

The is an excellent teacher, he is well respected by alumni of the students that he comes in contact with during the trainings but also has set a residency program at Einstein medical center, he runs the dental implant program there he brings in some fine people as speakers which I am one, he is member of number of societies, he has his own study group so he is really committed to teaching and spreading knowledge without any discrimination and that’s what he is truly interested in, he is making sure that people are confident in the community and have an opportunity to provide the best possible care to the patients.

If you or your family needed a dentist would you go Dr. Brown

Well, I sent my daughter to him and I sent my wife, so certainly Yes

What can Dr. Brown do to become even better? What would you recommend

Well, I think we all can do the same things to become even better and that is continue to seek out the better technologies and more knowledge and as good as we think we are we tend to look at the kind of the work we have done and consider Yeah it’s good but we could do better. The important thing is that I think we find the practitioners in those who reevaluate their work and say hunhh!! there is one way I can make it better with another plan, maybe there is another technology we could employ, may be if we had approached this treatment plan with a different perspective, may be we’ve gotten better results, there is always a room for improvement no matter how good you get so despite the fact he does the great work, and I am sure he does this himself, he reevaluates his work, it’s critical with his cases and he is always working to improve himself.

Patient management: 9

What do the patient say about their experience at the office of Dr. Brown

They say that he is very thorough clinician and he is excellent in his approach for treatment and he is very caring and concerned practitioner.

Communication:10

Excellent

Margins:(Both clinically and x-rays):9

What else can you tell us about Dr. Brown

I would say that Dr Brown makes a conscious effort to make really a fantabulous relationship with the general dentists and patients that he work with, as far as his approach, hands on in dentistry and dealing with others is concerned, its really a pleasure to work with him and his office, we are confident that when we work together we will get the best results as possible. He has been very generous to me personally in his personal and private life including his office, he is a good guy to be around, and you always feel yourself better educated when you are around Dr Brown so it’s really a pleasure to work with him.
It’s important to recognize that Dr Brown is the clinician in the center city area of Philadelphia who attempts to maintain too strong relationships with people his works with, he does that through his personal study group, I give him a lot of credit for really pushing himself for his practice to the forefront of Philadelphia periodontistry and implants, you see him on TV, you see him with colleagues, you see him in educational institutes, he maintains a high level of quality and a good reputation, its really my pleasure to comment about him

If you or your family needed a dentist would you go Dr. Brown

Yes

What can Dr. Brown do to become even better? What would you recommend

Difficult question, may be the only critique to Dr Brown would be to maintain a level of quality that he continues to do and there are very limited things that I would change about our relationship, he is always on the cutting edge of equipments and techniques so it’s hard to recommend something really, the only thing that I would say to give a hard thought about is making sure that his facility has always a modern contemporary aesthetic arrangement, it’s not about his dentistry but about keeping his office self updated with its décor and that would be a very polite critique about his office otherwise it’s always a pleasure to work with

Very diligent, e-mail and letter correspondence.

Margins:(Both clinically and x-rays):NA

What else can you tell us about Dr. Brown

I have known Dr Brown a little over 10 years. We frequently refer patients between our practices and combine expertise so the patient is able to obtain the best outcome. Our relationship works well because he was my professor during my GPR residency and then I went to train as an oral surgeon. During this time we have been able to grow together both personally and professionally. Dr. Brown keeps current with his continuing education, directs a prominent study club in the city and lectures nationally. He is always using the latest technology i.e perio laser surgery which is “cutting edge.” I know a number of seasoned clinicians tend to not stay current with new technologies bettering patient outcomes however Dr. Brown likes to provide the latest and greatest for his patients and referring clinicians.

If you or your family needed a dentist would you go Dr. Brown

Yes

What can Dr. Brown do to become even better? What would you recommend

He is pretty good, he is a very good clinician and he is always on cutting edge, his office is run very professionally, he is very involved in organizing the study clubs in the area; he is very involved in education in teaching hospitals, so I think overall he is already doing a great job

Patients: Sondra Katz

What did you have done?

I had an implant

Can you tell me more about your story why you chose Dr Brown? and if there is anything about him that is noteworthy?

Well, first of all I do have a dentist in my area to whom I go to and when it was discovered that I need an implant I said to my dentist that if you don't mind I would like to call Dr Brown and he said by all means do that, he said I know him and he is excellent, and of course I went down and I really prefferred to have Dr Brown do this rather than the dentist who does the implants in my dentist's office, and he was wonderful I knew right from the very beginning just what would happen where he put everything right on the computer, I made an appointment with Dr Brown and he examined the mouth and told me what would happen, asked me a lot of questions, I still remember one of the questions, it was "was I taking any medication?" which I was not, the only thing I was taking was FOSAMAX and told me to stop that because I was having problems. at that time he had me go down to jefferson imaging to have a CATSCAN of my mouth so he could really see everything that was there and he showed me everything on the computer, that was really great because there would be no surprises, I could see exactly what was happening, I saw where the tooth was fractured, I knew what he had to do, he is very careful, very professional and very considerate, puts a patient into ease and gives him a comfort level that you need whether it would be doctor or an accountant or it wouldn't matter what it is, because without the comfort level if you are going to have any type of work done there's always a lot of questions if you dont feel good about it and you don't have that with Dr Brown, you know exactly what's going to happen, there is a kindness about the man himself and concerns for his patients and he is a professional to the ladder of the law and he is very caring, I can't tell you enough good thing, I think he is an excellent dentist, I never felt one day discomfort with this implant, not a thing.
