How this page works
Entries require documented evidence: state-board records (TSBDE, verified
Jul 17, 2026), the practice's own published website content, and Google
review analysis (the 5 most relevant reviews per practice, Jul 2026).
No practice can pay to appear or move up — ever.
A practice missing here may still be excellent — it means we found
insufficient published evidence. Ranking = board evidence, then published services, then review themes; review concerns subtract.
