The 2015-2016 “Best Doctors in America” list includes 205 UVA Health System physicians. Of those, 50 — about one quarter — come from the Department of Medicine and its ten subspecialty divisions.
Approximately 5 percent of U.S. physicians earn this award, according to Best Doctors, Inc., the company that compiles the list. The honor is based on a confidential survey of more than 40,000 physicians who have been named to the most recent edition of Best Doctors in America. Survey recipients are asked: “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?” Survey results are then reviewed and verified by Best Doctors, Inc., to assemble the final listing.
“We are pleased to see so many of our physicians recognized for the high-quality, excellent care they provide, together with team members from throughout UVA Health System,” said David S. Wilkes, MD, dean of the UVA School of Medicine.
The Department of Medicine physicians honored on the 2015-2016 list are listed below, by division and then in alphabetical order. Congratulations to all.
