Top Docs at Cooper

South Jersey Magazine

South Jersey Magazine Top Docs 2007As South Jersey's leading teaching hospital, Cooper attracts some of the best doctors from the finest institutions in the country. In the last few years, Cooper University Hospital has had the most "Top Docs" named out of any institution in South Jersey. We'd like to introduce you to these fine physicians, whose hard work and dedication are recognized by their patients everyday and who have now been named as "Top Docs."

From South Jersey magazine: "For our third year, South Jersey Magazine highlights the best physicians in South Jersey. For an unbiased presentation of these doctors, we have procured the list of South Jersey Physicians as cited in the database produced by Best Doctors, Inc. Best Doctors, INC. is the leader in helping to connect patients WITH doctors. To qualify a doctor for the Best Doctors, Inc. list, doctors are nominated through peer interviews and balloting in the national medical community."

About the Best Doctors, Inc. Database: Best Doctors is an international company serving hundreds of insurers, employers and health plans, covering more than 10 million people in 30 countries. Best Doctors has pioneered a worldwide database of 50,000 top medical specialists in more than 400 subspecialties. These are doctors chosen by their own peers for one simple reason: They are among the best. To help identify specialists who are considered by fellow physicians to be the most skilled in their fields and most qualified for reviewing and treating complex medical conditions, peer reviews are conducted.

The polling process is anonymous and confidential, qualitative and quantitative. Doctors do not pay to be included in the database, nor do we pay them to participate in the survey. The judgment of peers is the determining factor. With person-to-person telephone interviews and proprietary polling and balloting software, we collect up to 2.5 million evaluations annually. Only 5% of the doctors in any country are actually selected to become one of the Best Doctors.

To underscore how unique and powerful the programs are, Best Doctors has been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®), the agency responsible for certifying physicians continuing medical education.
