Top Docs 2007: The Specialists
About the List
Our list of top-ranked doctors was created by the Boston-based company Best Doctors (bestdoctors.com), founded in 1989 by Harvard Medical School–affiliated physicians. Every two years, Best Doctors polls the medical profession, asking, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, who would you choose?” Only physicians identified by their peers in previous years as “best doctors” receive the Best Doctors in America survey.
Note: Some of the specialists on this list are accepting patients only by referral, or only patients with certain conditions. Be sure to call ahead and check the doctor’s availability with his or her staff before making any changes in your healthcare.
Click on any specialty to see a list of local physicians that have been identified by their peers in previous years as “best doctors.”
