This is the first year the VDA has produced the Referral Book so please let us know how you’re using it and what you would like to see in the book next year. We hope that especially at this time when it is more difficult to socialize and participate in study clubs, that you’ll find this new resource valuable.  

 

Data in the book was current in the ADA’s database as of April 1, 2021. The VDA team has made every effort to publish accurate information for each member and have communicated with members to alert them of their listing. 

 

If your information is incorrect, please update your member profile at ebusiness.ada.org. That will also ensure you have the right information in the ADA’s Find-a-Dentist listing and in your profile on the ADA Member Directory App.
