Top Docs 2016
The Heart of the Community

Our annual list of the physicians other docs say are the best in their fields

Each year, we ask SJ doctors one question: “If someone in your family was ill, who would you send them to for medical care?” We get thousands of votes, tally them up and compile a list of Top Docs who are the best at what they do. These are the medical professionals who are dedicated to keeping the SJ community happy and healthy.
