Top Doctors 2008
Who would your doctor go see?
One of the most critical decisions you’ll ever make for yourself or your family is selecting the right physician: one who you feel comfortable with, who listens to your concerns and offers not just solutions but a sympathetic ear. Being in a region with such prominent, esteemed medical facilities, we know that such a choice can be difficult.
In our first Top Doctors survey in 2005, we asked licensed physicians practicing within our region who among their peers they would recommend to family and friends. The results appeared in our November/December 2005 issue. Complemented by a peer-reviewed list of physicians in the UC Davis Health System compiled by Best Doctors, the directory presented nearly 200 names in specialties ranging from allergy to vascular surgery.
Now, a couple years later, it is time to do it again. As before, we asked licensed physicians for their candidates in any or all of 29 specialties, or as a write-in, on our survey. (For information on how we conducted the survey, see the sidebar on page 50.) Thanks to all the physicians who took the time to respond, we are proud to present this directory of 101 doctors in 31 specialties. Some of these doctors appeared in our last survey, and many are new. We again included an updated list from Best Doctors.
We also spoke up close and personal with six doctors who represent a cross-section of specialties. In addition to their profiles, the physicians addressed one more critical question: how a patient should choose a physician. While it was pointed out that an insurance plan is often what dictates physician selection, all our physicians agreed that the individual should still select a doctor who they respect and trust with their health care decisions. For their answers, and answers from the doctors profiled in our 2005 survey, read “How to choose a physician”.
Without further ado, here are the results of our 2008 Top Doctors survey. We at Solano Magazine wish you the best of health and happiness for the year!
