Miami — Fifty-two physicians affiliated with Miami Children’s Hospital (MCH) have made the Best Doctors in America® list for 2014. Only five percent of doctors in America earn this prestigious honor, decided by impartial peer review.
Best Doctors 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.
In bringing together the best medical minds in the world, Best Doctors works with expert physicians from its Best Doctors in America® list to help its 30 million members worldwide get the right diagnosis and right treatment.
The highly regarded Best Doctors in America® list, assembled by Best Doctors, Inc. and audited and certified by Gallup®, 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.
