Hallmark Health Physicians Listed as Boston's Top Doctors in Boston Magazine

Nine physicians from the medical staff of Hallmark Health System, which includes Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford and Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, have been named Top Doctors in the Boston Area according to Boston Magazine. The magazine lists local physicians practicing in more than 50 specialty fields most frequently recommended in a survey of other doctors.

For more than two decades, Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., America’s trusted source for identifying Top Doctors, has based its selection process on the foundation of peer nominations. All licensed physicians, MDs and DOs (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) are invited to participate in this online process. This involves contacting directly more than 50,000 physicians and hospital and healthcare executives, a nationwide distribution of nomination notifications via various media channels.

Physicians can nominate those other doctors whom they feel are the most outstanding in their medical specialties, in any area of medicine and in any part of the country, indicating also whether they believe that the physician is among the best in their region or among the very best in the nation. Also, already-selected Castle Connolly Top Doctors® are actively encouraged through various communications to participate in this process as well. A physician cannot nominate him/herself.
