UMDNJ Faculty Members Named “Top Doctors”
by New Jersey Monthly Magazine
|
NEWARK — More than 180 faculty members at UMDNJ have been named “Top Doctors” by New Jersey Monthly magazine. The list, published as part of the New Jersey Monthly’s annual survey of New Jersey’s practicing physicians, appears in the November 2007 issue of the magazine.
To compile the list, the Polling Institute at Monmouth University sent out more than 30,000 ballots to New Jersey ’s licensed doctors asking them whom they would send a loved one to in more than 40 specialties. The results showed that of the 573 physicians identified as top doctors throughout New Jersey, nearly one-third are faculty members of UMDNJ.
“We continue to be proud of all our fine physicians and are not surprised by the esteem with which they are held in their communities and throughout the state,” said Dr. William F. Owen Jr., UMDNJ’s President. “It is particularly gratifying to know that our physicians’ commitment to excellence has been so resoundingly recognized by their peers.”
Below is a listing of the physicians, broken down by hometown and county:
