Download a Kids’ Docs VOTE poster!
When you’re looking for the best doctor, dentist or specialist for your child, who do you trust for a recommendation? If you answered another parent, you’re not alone. That’s what inspired us to ask parents to tell us which doctors offer the best and most compassionate care. The result is a comprehensive list of 189 exceptional pediatric dental professionals in New Jersey—picked by you!
We started New Jersey’s Favorite Kids’ Docs 16 years ago with the hope that parents like you would serve as trusted advisors on where to seek the best medical care for our children. There’s no way to buy a spot on this list and that’s what makes it unique and trustworthy. In an age where worrying about our kids’ mental and physical health weighs heavily on us all, finding exceptional and experienced medical care for our families matters more than ever. This list wouldn’t exist without parents like you. Thanks for taking the time to share your nominations with us.
The Details:
- Healthcare professionals are listed alphabetically by area of expertise— pediatricians and specialists, followed by dental professionals.
- The list doesn’t imply endorsement by New Jersey Family; it’s a parent-to-parent referral list only.
- A name in boldface indicates the physician has purchased an advertising profile on the page number that follows.
- Nominations on njfamily.com were accepted between June 2023 and May 2024.
