New York Magazine Names 70 Yale Physicians Among the Region's Best Doctors

[July, 2005] New York Magazine has included 70 Yale School of Medicine physicians on a list of the top doctors in the metropolitan area for 2005. The university physicians' clinical practice is known as Yale Medical Group.

From cardiovascular medicine to vascular surgery, the list serves as a guide for patients seeking the best in medical care. To compile the list, New York collaborated with Castle Connolly Medical, a research and publishing company. Thousands of top physicians in the New York area completed a survey that asked them to nominate top doctors in almost every specialty. Castle Connolly then refined the list based on hundreds of interviews with leading specialists, chiefs of service and other hospital personnel, and published a guidebook Top Doctors: New York Metro area. The magazine list is a shorter version, designed to offer geographic balance for the magazine's readership and a broad specialty representation.

"Our increased representation on the list of Best Doctors in New York is an indication of the growth in the breadth and excellence of our clinicians across the board," said David J. Leffell, MD, Deputy Dean for Clinical Affairs of the Yale School of Medicine and Director of the Yale Medical Group. "The physicians  of the Yale Medical Group provide superb specialty care to patients throughout the region.  In the months and years ahead, our doctors will continue to marry innovations in research with new treatments for the most common diseases affecting patients of all ages.
