Wisconsin dental group practice ForwardDental has achieved the prestigious accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC/Accreditation Association). Accreditation distinguishes this dental group from many other dental practices in the state as providing the highest quality of care to patients.

Status as an accredited organization means that ForwardDental has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by the Accreditation Association. Very few dental practices seek and are granted accreditation through the AAAHC.

“We believe that our patients deserve the best care possible and therefore chose the AAAHC, an independent, not-for-profit organization to closely examine our practices and procedures”, stated Dr. Robert Trettin, president of the group. “When you see our certificate of accreditation, you will know that it means that we, as an organization, care enough about our patients to strive for the highest possible care.”

Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by the AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by the Accreditation Association’s expert surveyors – volunteer physicians, nurses and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care. AAAHC accreditation is specifically for organizations that provide diagnostic or medical care on an outpatient basis.

“Going through the process challenged us to find better ways to serve our patients, and it’s a constant reminder that our first responsibility is to our patients and the quality of care we provide”, said Trettin.

ForwardDental is one of the largest dental groups in the state and been accredited by AAAHC since the year 2000. With 30 locations across Wisconsin, using the state’s motto reflects the size, scope and vision of the group. As a group dental practice, ForwardDental is able to provide comprehensive general and specialty dental care for all ages in multiple sites convenient to the majority of residents in the state. Each practice is community based and enjoys a special relationship with the residents and businesses of the areas they serve. Learn more about this dental group by going to www.forwarddental.com.
