Columbia Metropolitan magazine is honored to present the Midlands dentists named to the 2011 topDentists™ list. This list is provided to us exclusively from topDentists™, LLC, an Augusta, Ga. company with more than 40 years of experience compiling peer-reviewed guides in the legal, dental and medical fields.
“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, to which dentist would you refer them?” This is the question topDentists™ asked thousands of dentists and specialists to help determine who should be included on the 2011 list. Respondents are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and, of course, physical results.
The nomination pool consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association, as well as all dentists listed online with their local dental societies, allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists who may have been missed who they feel should be included in this list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peers’ works when evaluating the other nominees.
Those dentists who withstand the company’s vetting process are then added to the list. No one pays Columbia Metropolitan or topDentists™ to be included. In fact, because dentists must be voted on strictly by their peers and virtually every dentist is given an opportunity to particpate, inclusion in topDentists™ is considered to be a distinct honor.
