NEW HAVEN — Connecticut Magazine recently named 181 Yale-New Haven Hospital physicians among the best in the state in its 10th annual "Top Doctors" issue. The YNHH doctors, who provide a wide range of specialties, were among 650 doctors throughout the state selected from the results of a questionnaire sent to 2,000 Connecticut physicians and then combined with Connecticut Magazine's surveys from 2006-2008.
Spanning 24 areas of expertise, from cardiology to urology, the "top docs" issue serves as a guide for patients seeking the best in medical care.
"We're pleased to have such a wide selection of our doctors included in so many specialty fields by Connecticut Magazine," said Peter N. Herbert, MD, chief of staff at Yale-New Haven Hospital. "This list is a reflection of the high esteem that the medical profession holds for our doctors and the quality of care our patients and their families receive."
