32 Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children's Hospital of New Jersey Physicians Named “Top Docs” in New Jersey

Newark, NJ--New Jersey Monthly magazine recently named 32 physicians practicing medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey among the best in the state in its annual "Top Doctors in New Jersey" issue. The doctors, who provide a wide range of specialties, were selected from more than 33,000 doctors in New Jersey.

“It is because of our commitment to patients, dedication to excellence and continued understanding of the need for an environment of caring and collaboration that Newark Beth and Children’s Hospital are continuously recognized for improving treatment outcomes, furthering clinical excellence and offering superior and innovative care,” says John A. Brennan, M.D., Executive Director of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. “Being named as a “Top Doc” is very special, in that peers have recognized the physician’s professional expertise.”

For this year’s list of 573 Top Doctors, representing just 1.7 percent of doctors with valid New Jersey licenses, New Jersey Monthly commissioned an independent survey of the state’s physicians by the Polling Institute at Monmouth University in West Long Branch. A total of 20,254 New Jersey-based doctors were invited to give their recommendations for this year’s list. The final list represents Top Doctors in 57 medical categories, including many pediatric and surgical subspecialties. In most categories, a minimum of 14 votes was required to be listed, up from last year’s 10-vote minimum because of the increase in eligible ballots received. The threshold was lower in some subspecialties with fewer practitioners.
