Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I have been in PEDIATRIC (CHILDREN'S) dentistry for my entire career and have built a solid reputation as a compassionate and caring children's dentist. I do not see adults but in conjunction with the other providers do treat entire families.
