Nemours Physicians Voted Among the Best Doctors in America 2009-2010

When you take your child to see a doctor, you want
to know you’re getting the very best care – from the very best physicians. At Nemours, our doctors have earned the distinction of being among the finest in the country – and that’s according to leading physicians in their field.

Time and again, Nemours physicians have had the honor of being named among the Best Doctors in America® by fellow MDs all over the nation. Since the early 1990s, when this one-of-a-kind peer-to-peer survey first began, many of our Nemours doctors have graced the list. And 2009-2010 was no exception. An impressive 143 of our physicians – 84 from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE, and 59 from our Nemours Children’s Clinics in Florida – made the latest list.

Best Doctors in America® is the result of confidential surveys sent out every two years by Best Doctors®, Inc. – the foremost provider of information about the best medical care available. The nationwide experts polled are the more than 40,000 physicians, from 46 medical specialties and over 400 subspecialties, represented on the most recent Best Doctors® list. So, it’s the country’s very best in medicine voting on others who are at the top of their field – with the utmost training, skills, and experience.

Through polling and balloting software as well as phone interviews, the doctors are asked to rate the clinical abilities of other physicians who work in their same specialty areas at other facilities – doctors on the most current list in addition to new nominees. Each doctor is asked specific questions about whom they’d recommend or use themselves. In the end, only those physicians who earn the consensus support of their peers are ultimately included on the Best Doctors® list.

Here’s what makes the acknowledgement all the more meaningful for our physicians and the patients and families we serve: Being a “Best Doctor” is a prestigious accolade that only about 5% of physicians practicing in the United States can claim.

We’re extremely proud to call so many top-quality, highly respected physicians members of our Nemours team.
