UAMS Physicians Among Best Doctors in America
The list of Best Doctors in America for 2009 includes more than 500 distinguished Arkansas physicians statewide of which more than 250 are on the faculty at UAMS.
Best Doctors, Inc. was founded in 1989 by two renowned physicians affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Their goal was to provide greater access to dependable, high quality medical information and care for individuals with serious illnesses and injuries. That concept continues to propel Best Doctors and has led to their pioneering work being featured on 60 Minutes and in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Readers Digest and CNN.
Today, Best Doctors is the world's leading resource for patients, families and physicians seeking expert medical resources and guidance to treat illnesses and injuries of all kinds.
