A total of 241 physicians from the Mount Sinai Health System’s seven hospital campuses and an additional 34 physicians from Mount Sinai’s affiliated hospitals were represented in New York magazine’s recently released list of “Best Doctors in New York.” The 275 physicians represented 21 percent of the overall 1,282 area doctors on the 2015 list, available online and in the June 8-14, 2015, print edition. The list covers physicians from throughout the New York metropolitan region, including Connecticut and New Jersey.
Mount Sinai Health System physicians are listed in all specialties reviewed in the magazine, including medical oncology, orthopaedic surgery, endocrinology and diabetes, neurological surgery and neurology, and cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology.
“Mount Sinai’s innovative research and world-class clinical care have attracted the best of the best,” says Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mount Sinai Health System.
In total, 168 physicians were on the list at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens. Additionally, there were 35 physicians from Mount Sinai Beth Israel; 22 from Mount Sinai Roosevelt; 11 from New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai; 4 from Mount Sinai St. Luke’s; and 1 from Mount Sinai Brooklyn. Within the hospitals’ departments of medicine, 37 full-time faculty and voluntary physicians in 13 specialties made the list.
Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a New York City research firm, bases its rankings on a regional peer-review survey that asks physicians to nominate their colleagues. The top 10 percent of the region’s physicians are listed in Castle Connolly’s annual guidebook, Top Doctors: New York Metro Area. For the past 18 years, New York magazine has published a shorter version of Castle Connolly’s list.
