SLCH Physicians Names to "Best Doctors in St. Louis" List
St. Louis Magazine published its annual “Best Doctors” list for the metropolitan area in its August issue. Among the 1,249 listed, 98 St. Louis Children’s Hospital full-time physicians and 73 community pediatricians/subspecialists were included.
The list is generated by Best Doctors, Inc., a 23-year-old company founded by doctors affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The organization contacts physicians in the St. Louis region who have been included on a previous Best Doctors list and asks them, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?” After verifying licensing and certification requirements and any disqualifying disciplinary actions, physicians are added to this annual list. Only approximately 5 percent of physicians practicing in the U.S. are selected for each Best Doctors list.
