About the Best Health and Wellness Services Awards

The Best of Parents Press Readers Choice Awards are designed to spotlight the outstanding healthcare providers and wellness professionals who serve children and families throughout the Peninsula and Silicon Valley. From first-time parents seeking trusted maternity care to families looking for top-rated pediatricians, dentists, orthodontists, and optometrists, these awards reflect real community feedback and personal recommendations.

Our annual recognition process takes place in two community-driven rounds:

  1. Round One (March – Early April): Open nominations allow parents and community members to recommend their favorite local providers in each category. This stage ensures that even smaller, lesser-known practices get the chance to be recognized.
  2. Round Two (April – May): The top nominees from the first round appear on the final ballot for voting. Voters select from these finalists, ensuring a fair and competitive process.

The winners are officially announced in the August issue of Parents Press, just in time for families preparing for back-to-school checkups, dental visits, vision screenings, and other seasonal wellness needs.

Frequently Asked Questions – Health and Wellness Services For Kids and Families

What types of providers are included in the Best Health and Wellness Services Awards?

We recognize a wide range of healthcare and wellness providers, including maternity and birth centers, pediatricians, family dentists, orthodontists, optometrists, and other child-focused specialists who help keep families healthy.

How are winners chosen?

Winners are determined entirely by community voting. After an open nomination phase, the top nominees advance to a final voting round where readers select their favorites.

Do providers need to be located in the Peninsula or Silicon Valley to qualify?

Yes. All nominated providers must serve families in the Peninsula and Silicon Valley region, although many also serve patients from other parts of the Bay Area.

When is the best time to schedule health and wellness services for kids?

For routine care, schedule well-child visits, dental checkups, and vision screenings several months in advance. Back-to-school season (late summer) is especially busy, so early booking is recommended.

How can I nominate a provider for next year’s awards?

During the nomination period in March and early April, you can submit your recommendations online through Parents Press. The process is open to all families and community members.

Are these awards influenced by advertising or sponsorships?

No. The Best of Parents Press Readers Choice Awards are entirely decided by reader votes, ensuring the results reflect genuine community preferences.

Do you feature both large medical centers and smaller private practices?

Yes. We celebrate excellence across all types of providers—whether it’s a large hospital network or a small, family-owned dental practice—because great care comes in many forms.
