More than 200 NorthShore Physicians Listed by U.S. News as Top Doctors

8/10/2011 - More than 200 NorthShore University HealthSystem Medical Group and affiliate physicians are listed in U.S. News & World Report’s 2011 directory of Top Doctors, a compilation of the leading peer-nominated physicians across the country. And 27 of those NorthShore physicians received special recognition for being considered among the top 1% in the nation in their specialties.

The U.S. News Top Doctors list is a new companion piece to its annual Best Hospitals rankings and was created in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., publisher of America's Top Doctors and other consumer health guides. It draws from Castle Connolly's database of Top Doctors, all recommended for their clinical skills by other doctors and individually vetted by a physician-led research team.

The NorthShore physicians who made the list come from a wide array of specialties and work or have privileges at all of our hospitals: Evanston, Glenbrook, Highland Park and Skokie.
