More than 100 UA Physicians Among 'Best Doctors in America'
More than 100 University of Arizona Health Network physicians have been named among the 2013 Best Doctors in America.
More than 100 Tucson physicians with The University of Arizona Health Network are ranked among the 2013 Best Doctors in America and are featured in Tucson Lifestyle magazine's July issue on Best Doctors in Tucson.
The prestigious national list, compiled for more than 20 years by Best Doctors Inc., includes about 45,000 U.S. physicians in more than 40 specialties and 400 subspecialties of medicine. They represent the top 3 to 5 percent of specialists in the country.
The list is based on a biennial survey of tens of thousands of leading physicians who were asked whom they would go to for treatment in their own specialty. The 2013 list includes more than 400 Tucson physicians, more than 100 of whom are part of The University of Arizona Physicians, the practice plan of the physician faculty of the UA College of Medicine.
"These eminent physicians are stellar clinicians, researchers and educators. We are proud but not surprised that their peers consider them the best in the profession," said Lynn Schneider Grennan, senior vice president and executive director of The University of Arizona Physicians.
