Washington, D.C. – July 26, 2011 – U.S. News Media Group announced U.S. News & World Report’s Top Doctors, a free searchable directory available at www.usnews.com/top-doctors that lists nearly 30,000 peer-nominated physicians across the country.
U.S. News Top Doctors 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. Consumers can search for a Top Doctor by location, hospital affiliation, and a full range of specialties and subspecialties.
The following physicians from UB Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine are listed:
Mark Anders, M.D.
Leslie Bisson, M.D.
James Czyrny, M.D.
Michael Ferrick, M.D.
Marc Fineberg, M.D.
Robert Galpin, M.D.
Kenneth Krackow, M.D.
John Leddy, M.D.
John Marzo, M.D.
Brian McGrath, M.D.
Matthew Phillips, M.D.
Bernhard Rohrbacher, M.D.
Robert Smolinski, M.D.
Philip Stegemann, M.D.
Castle Connolly assembled the roster of Top Doctors by soliciting nominations from physicians in academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional hospitals and physicians in private practice. Its research team then reviewed each nominee’s training, achievements, and appointments, among other credentials.
“We believe this brings important information on excellent physicians directly into the hands of consumers,” said Dr. John J. Connolly, President and CEO of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. “Given the unsettled future of the delivery and financing of healthcare and the changing nature of physician practices, it is critical that consumers have trusted sources of high quality information about both doctors and hospitals.”
