Today’s physicians must not only keep pace with the changing world of medicine, but also push the boundaries of discovery, technology and patient care. It’s a demanding career that requires a steady focus and ongoing dedication to succeed.

We asked local doctors which of their peers they believe are at the forefront of the SJ medical community, asking them to name the physicians they would recommend to a family member.

The votes poured in, as SJ docs selected these medical professionals worthy of a “Top Doc” designation.
