How we picked dentists in Lower North Shore

Practices were ordered by a score that weights each practice's feedback by how many patients have given it, so a high score from a handful of visits counts for less than the same score from many. Next came the range of care each practice lists, weekend hours, and whether it claims health funds on the spot. Each practice's own pages were read for this kind of care, and what patients said was used only where several described the same thing.
