We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected by a vote of your peers to be included in the 2004-2005 edition of The Best Dentists in America.

Because The Best Dentists in America is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which 9,680 leading dentists throughout the country cast more than 125,000 "votes" on the abilities of other dentists in their specialties, and because listings cannot be purchased (and no payment is required to be listed), inclusion in Best Dentists should be considered a singular honor.

Woodward/White has been publishing The Best Lawyers in America for twenty years. In 1992 we founded The Best Doctors in America (which now operates independently). Both have become the most respected referral lists in their professions. Best Lawyers has been featured in national newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Forbes, and The Washington Post, and is the basis of more than 50 "best lawyers" features in regional newspapers and metropolitan magazines every two years. Best Doctors has been seen on 60 Minutes, Today, and Headline News (for more, go to www.bestlawyers.com. or www.bestdoctors.com).

We are confident that Best Dentists, like Best Lawyers and Best Doctors , will come to be regarded - both by the profession and the public - as the definitive guide to excellence in the dental profession. Many newspapers and magazines have already arranged to feature The Best Dentists in America in the coming year.

Again, our congratulations on being chosen by your fellow dentists.

Sincerely,

Steven Naifeh
Editor-in-Chief
