A little more than half of Western
Washington physicians listed in the latest edition of The Best Doctors
in America are faculty physicians who practice at institutions managed
by, or affiliated with, the University of Washington
School of Medicine, including Children's Hospital and Regional
Medical Center, the Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center, Harborview Medical
Center, University
of Washington Medical Center and the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound
Health Care System.
Many of the physicians see patients at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the "host" for oncology patient-care services delivered by Children's, Fred Hutchinson and the UW.
The current listing, The Best Doctors in America (Copyright 2001 by Best Doctors, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.), is the result of the fifth survey undertaken by Best Doctors, Inc. To compile the current database, more than 30,000 doctors throughout the United States were asked to rate the clinical abilities of other doctors in their areas of specialization. Only physicians who earned the consensus support of their peers were included. Listings cannot be bought.
Among nearly 500 Western Washington listings this year, a little more than half are full-time UW physicians. Many of the others have part-time teaching responsibilities with the UW School of Medicine, and practice elsewhere.
The following list includes many of the places that the individual physicians may practice: Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), Harborview Medical Center (HMC), University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) and and Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System (VAPSHCS).
