In a recent survey conducted by Texas Monthly Magazine (November 2004 issue) approximately
17,000 dentists and dental hygienists across Texas were asked the question, "If you or your loved one needed
dental services, who would you go to"? The dentists in all specialties that received the greatest number of votes were
awarded the status of "Super Dentists in Texas". Our own Dr. Anderson was awarded this status and
is very proud that his peers considered him for such an honor. He was also voted one of Houston, Texas'
"Top Dentists" by a survey performed by H-Texas Magazine in 2005, 2006, and 2007. A special honor was presented to Dr. Anderson in 2006 and 2007 when the doctors of medicine and dentistry voted him as one of "Houston's "Top Docs". Over 10,000 healthcare professionals
and subscribers were polled in this survey. |
