San Francisco magazine’s January 2005 issue listed the Best Doctors in America. Best Doctors is a registered trademark
of Best Doctors, Inc.
Every two years Boston-based Best Doctors, Inc. revises its top doc list. Best Doctors asks physicians on the previous list which local MDs in their specialization areas they would recommend to friends and loved ones.
Best Doctors was founded in 1989 by Harvard Medical School-affiliated professors to provide greater access to medical information and medical care for people with serious conditions.
