More than 270 Mount Sinai Physicians Named to New York Magazine’s 2019 “Best Doctors” Issue
Mount Sinai Health System physicians held 275 spots on New York magazine’s annual "Best Doctors" issue, released on May 30. Mount Sinai accounted for 20 percent of all the doctors on the list, which covers the New York metropolitan region, and its total represented a 6.2 percent increase from the previous year.
The 2019 issue featured a total of 1,390 physicians, of whom 275 were from The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Queens, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Mount Sinai Brooklyn, New York Eye and Ear of Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai West, Mount Sinai St. Luke’s, and South Nassau Communities Hospital.
Mount Sinai is distinguished not only by the number of physicians included in the annual list, but also by the range of specialties represented, including cardiac electrophysiology, cardiovascular disease, child and adolescent psychiatry, dermatology, gastroenterology, geriatric medicine, gynecologic oncology, neurology, neuroradiology, occupational medicine, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, pediatrics, psychiatry, rehabilitation medicine, surgery, and urology.
The 2019 list is based on a peer-review survey by Castle Connolly, a New York City research and information firm, that asks 12,000 medical professionals to nominate the physicians who, in their judgment, are the best in their field and related fields.
Castle Connolly tabulates the results, vets the nominee pool, and selects the top 10 percent of the region’s physicians to be published in its annual guidebook, Top Doctors: New York Metro Area. For the past 22 years, Castle Connolly has been providing New York with a shorter version of this list for publication in the magazine.
