METHODOLOGY

TopDentists, LLC has more than 60 years of experience compiling peer-review referral guides in the legal, dental and medical fields.

Using this experience, along with the input of dentists across the United States, we have created a methodology that has been refined and improved over previous superlative guides.

TopDentists lists dentists and specialists who have been chosen through an exhaustive survey in which thousands of the nation’s dental professionals confidentially evaluate their professional peers. No payment is required to be selected, nor is payment accepted in exchange for selection.

The nomination pool for topDentists consists of dentists and specialists that are current members of the American Dental Association and other dental societies. General dentists were asked to vote on nominees that are listed as specialists. Specialists are asked to vote only on nominees that are listed as general dentists.

Voting practitioners are also given an opportunity to offer more detailed comments on nominees and to provide additional nominations.

Voting professionals are provided the following criteria for determining if a nominee should be listed: years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients and physical results. All votes and comments are solicited with a guarantee of confidentiality.

Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.

Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in Ohio. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists.

Where a Lifetime of Healthy Teeth Begins!

Our practice has been caring for the families of Columbus since 1979. It is our goal to provide children with healthy teeth in a fun environment. Our experienced staff is trained and committed to providing the highest quality of dental care for infants, children, adolescents and patients with special needs.
