This is the question that was posed to area dentists to determine who deserves the distinction of Select Dentist status. Dentists and specialists were asked to consider patient experience and their results, as well as continuing education, years in practice and the use of new technologies and techniques by the dentist.
Nominees consisted of dentists who are listed online as members of the American Dental Association, the Pennsylvania Dental Association and the Lehigh Valley Dental Association allowing virtually every area dentist in the region the opportunity to participate. Dentists were asked to evaluate the practitioners with whose work they were familiar. Once the nominations were completed, the results were compiled. Lehigh Valley Style partnered with independent market research firm Polk-Lepson Research Group, of York, Pennsylvania, to compile the responses and tabulate the results of the Select Dentist survey.
Once the list of nominees was finalized, those being honored as Select Dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure that they remained in good standing. The honorees were then contacted to verify the information listed.
Naturally, there are many outstanding dentists who are not included in this listing, which is based on the judgements of his or her fellow dentists as a peer review. Although the listing may be biased to well-marketed, popular practices, we feel confident that the research methodology corrects for any biases. We feel the Select Dentists program is an outstanding directory of highly regarded dentists in the Lehigh Valley.
