HINSDALE’S DR. CHARLES BUSH-JOSEPH AMONG “TOP DOCTORS IN AMERICA”

Dr. Charles Bush-Joseph of Hinsdale, an orthopedic surgeon with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, was voted among the Top Doctors in America® by U.S. News & World Report and Castle Connolly, a healthcare research information company that recognizes physicians who have been nominated by their peers and rigorously screened by a physician-led research team. According to the research, Dr. Bush-Joseph is considered by his peers to be among the top one percent of orthopedic specialists in the nation.

To prepare the list of top doctors, Castle Connolly receives input from leading physicians, chairs of clinical departments and presidents of medical institutions.  The researchers also query those doctors who have been recognized as “Top Doctors” in previous years.  

The Top Doctors database is widely regarded as a high-quality reference guide to the medical profession. The list names National Top Doctors, considered among the top 1% of specialists in the nation and Regional Top Doctors, considered to be among the top 10-15% of doctors in the nation.  The searchable database lists more than 33,000 physicians across the country in more than 60 specialties and subspecialties.
