Dozens of University of Virginia physicians were named to the list of Best Doctors in America ® by Best Doctors, Inc., the largest number ever for UVa. This year 160 names made the list – 35 more than appeared on the previous list in 2005.
Best Doctors database contains the names and professional affiliations of doctors chosen through a comprehensive peer-review survey that asks: “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?” The database represents the top 3 percent to 5 percent of physicians in more than 400 medical subspecialties. A Best Doctors physician goes through regular evaluations by the company in order to maintain his or her status as one of the Best Doctors in America ® .
The Best Doctors are selected through a peer nomination process combined with additional research. More than a quarter million doctors are surveyed in the evaluation process to make selections for each list.
