Dr. Scott Navarro, Vice President of Professional Services and Dental Director for Delta Dental, recently received the Dr. Israel (Sonnie) Shulman Award for Meritorious Service from the American Association of Dental Consultants
(AADC).
The AADC is comprised almost entirely of dentists who serve as consultants to dental insurance carriers. The primary purpose of the organization is to educate and inform its nearly 400 national and international members.
The award, which has only been granted three times in the past, recognizes AADC members for outstanding contributions to the organization, and for exhibiting behavior of being a mentor and guiding light. Recipients are nominated, with the AADC board of directors making the final decision.
"Dr. Navarro, as past president of AADC, as chair and developer of the Certification Program, for his insight and authorship of position papers, and for being the dental consultant's consultant, certainly qualifies for this award," says AADC President Dr. Ed Schooley, dental director of Delta Dental Plan of Iowa.
"Dr. Navarro is one of a kind," Dr. Schooley adds. "Having worked with him on a number of projects and teams, he seems to have inexhaustible energy and commitment to doing a best-in-class job in anything he touches. Dr. Navarro has often independently championed efforts within AADC and is responsible for where it is today. He has left his mark! I am pleased that he has been recognized in this manner."
Dr. Navarro recently celebrated his sixth anniversary at Delta Dental. His primary responsibilities include dentist network development and contracting, professional claims review, dental policy, and professional relations. He also serves as a member of the Delta Dental Plans Association Dental Policy Committee.
