Product Description
The top doctors in each of these regions have been chosen by randomly surveying thousands of health-care professionals. Doctors, nurses, chiefs of service, and hospital administrators have recommended the physicians who they feel are the best in their fields. Each physician's comprehensive listing includes the medical school attended and the year of graduation, board certifications, hospitals to which the doctor admits patients, residencies and fellowships, faculty appointments, office hours, and health plans in which they participate. Vital information on each region's leading medical centers and hospitals is included, along with a special "Centers of Excellence" section that profiles outstanding hospital programs in specialty fields such as cancer, cardiac surgery, women's health, and sports medicine. The "Special Practice Interest Index" lists experts who specialize in more than 2,500 different diseases, conditions, and procedures. Readers will learn what makes a doctor the best and what criteria to use when choosing a physician.
