New York Magazine Lists 98 Best Docs
A record total of nearly 100 physicians affiliated with the North Shore-LIJ Health System were listed recently in the 13th edition of New York magazine’s annual “New York’s Best Doctors” issue. Of the 98 North Shore-LIJ physicians listed in the magazine, 42 were selected from Lenox Hill Hospital, the newest addition to the North Shore-LIJ Health System. The cumulative total represents the largest number of North Shore-LIJ physicians selected by the magazine since it began publishing its “Best Doctors” edition. North Shore-LIJ had more doctors listed in the magazine than any other health system in the New York area.
The list is compiled based on peer-review surveys conducted by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a New York-based research and information company. This year’s final list amounted to 1,119 physicians with 66 different specialties from all five boroughs and several surrounding areas. Below is a breakdown of the 98 North Shore-LIJ physicians by hospital affiliation. To learn more, go to: http://nymag.com/bestdoctors
