UNMC physicians on Best Doctors List

UNMC doctors and those affiliated with UNMC Physicians, the medical center’s practice group, have been recognized on this year’s list of Best Doctors in America.

The doctors include 157 full and part-time UNMC faculty who also practice at The Nebraska Medical Center, UNMC’s hospital partner.

The list of physicians was taken from the Best Doctors in America 2009-2010 database of more than 45,000 doctors in more than 40 specialties, which represents the top 3 percent 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 who seek medical advice and information.
