Physicians Who Practice At The Nebraska Medical Center On Best Doctors List
Physicians Who Practice At The Nebraska Medical Center On Best Doctors List
A total of 215 physicians who practice at The Nebraska Medical Center have been recognized on this year’s list of Best Doctors in America®. The doctors include private practice physicians as well as full and part-time faculty at the University of Nebraska Medical Center who are also affiliated with UNMC Physicians, the UNMC faculty physician group.
The list of physicians was excerpted from the Best Doctors in America® 2011-2012 database of more than 45,000 doctors in the United States.
Physicians are selected on the basis of the question, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?” A peer-review survey by thousands of doctors determines the doctors included in the database. Only those doctors who earn the consensus support of their peers are included and only physicians in the Best Doctors database are allowed to receive the survey, nominate others and vote.
Best Doctors in America® was founded in 1989 by two physicians affiliated with Harvard Medical School and is today a leading resource to those seeking medical advice and information.
The Nebraska Medical Center physicians and their specialty featured in the 2011-2012 database are identified below.
