Local physicians named 'top doctors'

PROVIDENCE – Fifty-two physicians from two Care New England hospitals, Women & Infants Hospital and Kent Hospital, were recently named “top doctors” by U.S. News.

Overall, 218 doctors in the greater Providence region were named “top doctors,” including physicians and surgeons at Rhode Island Hospital, Miriam Hospital, Landmark Medical Center, Roger Williams Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Health Services, Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island, South County Hospital, Newport Hospital, Butler Hospital, and Bradley Hospital.

The goal of the list is to help guide consumers to top specialists and primary care doctors in their area, according to U.S News & World Report.

The doctors on the list are chosen based on recommendations from their medical peers who view them as being “worthy of referral.” The list was developed in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., publisher of America’s Top Doctors and other guides, and was built upon data from Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors.
