Physicians are allowed a one-time vote for “respected, qualified and talented medical professionals – doctors to whom they would refer a loved one”. Thousands of votes were cast honoring excellence in 94 specialties. There is no commercial relationship to the listings. No payment is required to be listed and listings cannot be purchased.
