Over Eighty Saint Clare’s Physicians Named As Top Doctors

November 22, 2010

Numerous Specialties Recognized by Inside Jersey, New Jersey Monthly, and New Jersey Family

Saint Clare’s Health System is pleased to announce that 86 of its physicians were recently named Top Doctors in Inside Jersey magazine, New Jersey Monthly magazine, and New Jersey Family magazine.

Inside Jersey partners with Castle Connolly Medical, the gold standard for medical ratings research, to provide consumers with the most authoritative and informed assessment of doctors in the region. New Jersey Monthly’s selections are peer-recommended; the magazine commissioned an independent survey, inviting New Jersey-based doctors to provide recommendations for this year’s list which were then professionally reviewed by a panel of doctors. New Jersey Family makes their selection by polling readers on their favorite doctors or pediatric specialists who work to keep their children healthy and respond to parents’ concerns.

“We are fortunate to have a wealth of talented, dedicated and caring physicians practicing medicine at Saint Clare’s,” said Les Hirsch, President and CEO of Saint Clare’s Health System. “The doctors named to these lists represent the kind of clinical excellence and commitment to patient care those coming to our hospital expect and deserve."

Saint Clare’s has more than 750 physicians covering a range of patient services including cancer, emergency, joint replacement, surgical services, pediatrics, women’s health, bariatrics, and diagnostic imaging to name a few. Morris, Warren, and Sussex county patients seeking quality health care, highly trained physicians and specialists, and the latest technologically advanced treatments will find all three right in their neighborhood.
