The annual “Top Doctors” list by Tucson Lifestyle magazine is out with its July issue.
Congratulations to the 98* physicians associated with the UA College of Medicine – Tucson who were included among the 2017 Top Doctors. The local list is pulled from a national listing compiled by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. Those included were nominated by physicians in their medical specialty and selected by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research and information company that screens hundreds of thousands of physicians nationally.
(*Including affiliated community physicians—a UAHS memo did not include these physicians.)
Feature stories accompanying the list include short profiles for the UA’s Mary-Jane Barth, MD, pediatric cardiac surgeon, and Taylor Riall, MD, PhD, acting chair, UA Department of Surgery. Click here to see the issue. The Castle Connolly Top Doctors 2017 list begins here on p. 29.
