For many years, I’ve created a list of “The Best”, so clients or friends who asked me about the best dentist, doctor or insurance agent would know where to go.

This list is, of course, based on my personal experience. I get no kick-backs from any of these referrals. These fine men and women are simply THE BEST.

Feel free to contact them and mention that I referred you (it couldn’t hurt!). Note: Most of these folks are located in the San Diego area.
