When you’re in need of treatment, you want the best
physicians you can find. And thanks to our exclusive new survey of more than
5,000 local M.D.s, you’ve got 385 of them in 42 specialties to choose from.
We’ve also profiled six consistently top-notch practitioners in the fields of
dermatology, pain management, allergy, oncology, cardiology, and colon and
rectal surgery to find out how they keep raising the bar in the work they do
for their patients. Finally, we take a look at six deadly conditions plaguing
our area and get the experts’ prescriptions for how we can lessen their impact.
How’s that for a comprehensive health care plan?
