UCLA Physicians Named ‘Super Doctors’:

UCLA HEALTH SYSTEMS

Westside residents don’t have to travel very far to see super doctors. They are located right in the neighborhood!

More than 250 UCLA Health System physicians have been honored as “2011 Southern California Super Doctors,” as noted in the January issue of Los Angeles magazine. The magazine recognizes physicians who are highly regarded by their peers throughout Southern California.

Each year, thousands of physicians, nurse practitioners and nurse managers receive ballots that ask: “If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?” Several safeguards are built into the process to prevent self-nomination and ballot manipulation.

A blue-ribbon panel of experts groups nominees into more than 30 medical practice areas and assigns point totals based on individual reviews. Each doctor’s professional information is verified to ensure accuracy.

To view this year’s list of UCLA Health System physicians deemed “super” by their peers, visit www.uclahealth.org/superdoctors.

UCLA Health System consists of our four hospitals in Westwood and Santa Monica and more than 80 neighborhood offices throughout greater Los Angeles. Both Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital are ranked among the top hospitals in the United States by U.S. News & World Report magazine.

UCLA Medical Group has been rated one of California’s top-performing physician organizations for six consecutive years by the Integrated Healthcare Association.
