What better way to select the right specialists for your healthcare needs than to follow the recommendations of another trusted physician?
Practicing physicians are the ones who are really up on which doctors are tops in their particular fields. So, for the sixth consecutive year, Lifestyles Magazine hopes to make choosing a physician a little easier by presenting a list of the Top Docs in various specialties around the Perimeter as nominated by their peers.
NOTE: The doctors on this list are all-stars according to their peers, but we recognize that, inevitably, many excellent physicians are not represented. And although the doctors on this list are respected by their peers, there is no guarantee that he or she is the best doctor for you. This information should not be a substitute for your own inquiry and judgment. Furthermore, these results do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Lifestyles Magazine. The editorial staff made every effort to verify each doctor's name, specialty, practice name and phone number, but it would be nearly impossible to "check out" each doctor with an office visit.
