More doctors at UVA make the national Best Doctors List

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.

The 160 UVa Health System physicians on the Best Doctors roster, listed with their specified medical specialty, are:
