Find Out Who Made The List Of Abington's Best Doctors

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Fifty-five health physicians have made Philadelphia Magazine's recently released annual list of the top doctors in and around Philadelphia.

The list is "a compilation of the best physicians in the region, whether you’re looking for a dermatologist, a cardiologist, a pediatrician, or a family doctor."

Doctors on the list were curated by health-care research and information company Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which convened a team of physician-led team of researchers to determine which care providers are top-notch in the region.

They looked at professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history, outcomes data, communication, empathy, and trust among each doctor.

To connect people with the area's best doctors, Philadelphia Magazine created a searchable physician database that includes filters for location and specialty.
