Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates is pleased to announce that 35 of our physicians and 10 physicians from our other Atrius Health affiliate medical groups appear on the Best Doctors in America® list for 2013. Only five percent of doctors in America earn this prestigious honor, decided by impartial peer review.
Best Doctors, Inc. has earned a sterling, worldwide reputation for reliable, impartial results by remaining totally independent. Doctors cannot pay to be included in the Best Doctors database, nor are they paid to provide their input. The List is a product of validated peer review, in which doctors who excel in their specialties are selected by their peers in the profession.
The highly regarded Best Doctors in America® list, assembled by Best Doctors, Inc., results from exhaustive polling of over 45,000 physicians in the United States. Doctors in over 40 specialties and 400 subspecialties of medicine appear on this year’s List. In a confidential review, current physician listees answer the question, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?” Best Doctors, Inc. evaluates the review results, and verifies all additional information to meet detailed inclusion criteria.
The experts who are part of the Best Doctors in America® database provide the most advanced medical expertise and knowledge to patients with serious conditions – often saving lives in the process by finding the right diagnosis and right treatment. Harvard Vanguard’s group of experts listed in the database includes world-class specialists in internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology, as well as physicians in 12 other specialties including cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and ophthalmology.
