Advancing Your Health Blog

In last year’s rankings of Atlanta’s Top Doctors, conducted yearly by Atlanta Magazine, nearly 40% of the doctors listed as best in Atlanta were our own Emory physicians! This year, before we found out which doctors were named to this prestigious list top doctors list, we used Facebook and Twitter to ask YOU the question, “who is your top Emory doctor?”

Not surprisingly, many of you named some of the same doctors that Atlanta Magazine and researchers at Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. recently honored as the best doctors in Atlanta.

To take this honor a step further, we’ve listed all of the top doctors at Emory as named by the 2011 Top Doctors issue of Atlanta Magazine, and have included some of the wonderful feedback you have shared about them.
