100 AHSC Physicians Among 'Best Doctors in America’

More than 100 Tucson physicians affiliated with the Arizona Health Sciences Center are included in the latest Best Doctors in America database.
 
This database, 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 2011-2012 database includes more than 400 Tucson physicians, of whom about 100 are affiliated with the Arizona Health Sciences Center. Most are on the faculty of the University of Arizona College of Medicine and practice at University Medical Center, University Physicians Hospital and Clinics at Kino Campus and at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System.
 
The complete list of Tucson “Top Docs” is available in the January issue of Tucson Lifestyle magazine.
