CUMC-Affiliated Physicians Named to 2009 New York's "Best Doctors" List
NEW YORK (June 15, 2009) – Of the 1,108 physicians and surgeons named to New York magazine’s list of the Best Doctors 2009, 20 percent are affiliated with Columbia University Medical Center. Doctors on the list include 142 faculty members, 90 who graduated from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and 89 house staff alumni who completed their residencies at Columbia/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
To access the list of Columbia-affiliated physicians and surgeons in the June 16-22 New York magazine issue, please click here.
For the past 12 years, Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a research and information company, has been providing New York magazine with a shorter version of their annual guidebook, titled Top Doctors: New York Metro Area, for the magazine’s “Best Doctors” issue. These doctors in the magazine represent about a quarter of the top 10 percent of New York–area physicians, as determined by Castle Connolly.
To select the doctors, Castle Connolly sends out 12,000 nomination forms to medical professionals in New York City, Westchester County, Long Island, and portions of New Jersey and Connecticut. The forms ask recipients to nominate those doctors who, in their judgment, are the best in their field and related fields—especially those to whom they would refer their own patients and family members.
