Tuesday, August 02, 2011
Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced that U.S. News & World Report has named 124 of its physicians as “U.S. News Top Doctors.”
BOCA RATON, FL — These doctors span 34 specialty areas and were selected based on a peer nomination process. For a complete listing of physician names that appear on this list, please visit health.usnews.com.
U.S. News Top Doctors was created in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. It draws from their database of America’s Top Doctors, all recommended for their clinical skills by other doctors and individually vetted by a physician-led research team. Consumers can search for a Top Doctor by location, hospital affiliation, and a full range of specialties and subspecialties and lists nearly 30,000 peer-nominated physicians across the country.
Boca Raton Regional Hospital was recently listed, Best Hospitals-Metro Area, in U.S. News & World Report’s 2011 - 2012 review of institutions in the south Florida region. Of the nation’s 5,000 hospitals, only 720 were distinguished with these top metropolitan rankings. U.S. News Top Doctors builds on the Best Hospitals ratings.
"For decades, the Best Hospitals rankings have helped guide patients who need an especially high level of care, to hospitals that excel in providing it," said Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. "Top Doctors has a similar mission. We want to help consumers find the doctors in their area who come highly recommended by other physicians."
“While we salute our entire medical staff for their commitment to the Hospital and their dedication to clinical excellence, we congratulate these 124 physicians for being acknowledged with such a special recognition,” said Jerry Fedele, President and Chief Executive Officer at Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
