More than 100 University of Virginia physicians have been named among the "best doctors" in America by Best Doctors®, Inc. Best Doctors Inc. compiles its list by commissioning a biennial peer review survey of the medical profession. The survey involves contacting 35,000 doctors, who in previous surveys were identified as the best in their specialties, and asking them, “if you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?” The polling methodology mimics the informal peer-to-peer referral process that doctors themselves use to identify appropriate specialists for their patients. The database, which represents the top five percent of physicians in more than 400 medical subspecialties, is aimed at helping people find the right specialists locally, regionally or nationally. The Best Doctors’ physicians at U.Va. are: Bennett A. Alford Radiology Carlos R. Ayers Cardiovascular Disease Eugene J. Barrett Endocrinology and Metabolism Bruce G.
