Trust is important in any relationship. In the relationship between patient and doctor the level of trust needs to be significant. Have you ever stopped to think about what foundation this relationship of trust is built upon?

For some people it is a degree hanging on the wall of the practice a University that we have at least heard of. For others it is the chair-side manner of the dentist and the staff.

• Do they treat us with respect?
• Are we confident in their ability to properly diagnose and treat our oral health issues?
• How have they treated other patients?
• Do they have a history of success or a clouded history of mistakes?

Depending on our level of concern the questions we will ask will vary. The most important thing is that we feel comfortable and confident in not only the qualifications and ability of the dentist - but that we feel comfortable and confident about the dentist.

At Right Dental Group the due diligence process for becoming a team dentist is stringent. You may ask, "What does that mean?" We wanted a way for consumers who are potential patients to feel comfortable and confident choosing any of our dentists. We found ways that we could perform the necessary due diligence in-house but came to the conclusion that it left our screening without any teeth. Saying our dentists are screened and qualified because we say so means you have to trust us and trust the dentist. So, we invested in third-party verification and credentialing for every Right Dental Group dentist.

VerifPoint, a company accredited by the NCQA and the URAC (non-profit groups that regulate the medical industry) performs a background and ongoing screening for all of the dentists of Right Dental Group. We are verifying the following items:

• Education & Degrees
• State Licensing
• Licenses have to be valid with zero incidents of disciplinary action.
• Board Certification
• Specialty Training and Designations
• Malpractice History
• Medicare History
• Medicaid History

We annually verify that licenses are renewed and that disciplinary action remains at zero. We also annually validate that malpractice coverage is in place and that there has been no change in their history. We use patient feedback to judge the quality of our members. If anyone has a disproportionate amount of negative feedback from the patients who use our services the dentist is removed from the program.

Why do we do all of this? We do it for you. Your oral health is important and we want your experience with our dentists to be excellent. We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you
