Selecting our specialists.

 

Each year, hundreds of specialist and sub-specialist physicians are lauded in national and local surveys for their expertise, knowledge and skill. And while these "best of" lists often include many fine physicians, the criteria for these lists are frequently anecdotal.

The selection process for inclusion in our Network of Specialist Physicians is far more exacting. We conduct extensive research, evaluating each physician’s contributions to the medical literature, approach to patient care and the level of respect they engender among their peers.

In fact, the selection criteria for members of our Network of Specialist Physicians includes more than a dozen different quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
