Physicians who practice for UNMC Physicians on 2009-2010 Best Doctors List

 

A total of 157 doctors who practice at UNMC Physicians have been recognized on this year's list of Best Doctors in America.  The doctors include full and part-time faculty at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and those who also practice at the Nebraska Medical Center.

 

The list of physicians was excerpted from the Best Doctors in America 2009-2010 database of over 45,000 doctors in more than 40 specialties, which represents the top 3 to 5 percent of specialists in the country.

Physicians are selected on the basis of the question: "If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?"  A peer-review survey by thousands of doctors determines the doctors included in the database.  Only those doctors who earn the consensus support of their peers are included and only physicians in the Best Doctors database are allowed to receive the survey, nominate others and vote.

 

Best Doctors in America was founded in 1989 by two physicians affiliated with Harvard Medical School and is today a leading resource to those seeking medical advice and information.
