While working closely with Crusader’s local dentists over the past two years, LIBERTY noticed that Crusader dentists consistently demonstrated above and beyond their commitment and dedication to quality care for those they serve.
“Crusaders high patient satisfaction tells us a great deal about the compassionate and quality care Crusader patients receive.” said Dr. Jason Grinter, Illinois LIBERTY Dental Director. Senator Dave Syverson, the senior member of the Senate Human Services Committee stated, “I am grateful to LIBERTY Dental for the outstanding job they are doing in delivering quality compassionate dental care for our residents in Illinois. The fact that the Crusader dental program would be given this award doesn’t surprise those of us who are familiar with the excellent nationally recognized work that is done at Crusader.”
LIBERTY Dental Plan selects Center of Excellence Award winners through a rigorous evaluation process including, but not limited to, reviews of office safety and compliance, appropriate and timely delivery of dental services, and high member satisfaction with care received.
