More than 90 UW Medicine doctors were recognized in the "Top Docs" issue. Seattle Magazine collaborated with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. to create the survey. All licensed physicians in King County and portions of Snohomish, Kitsap and Pierce counties were invited to nominate peers through a special website. With the support of the marketing staffs at hospitals in the Seattle area, participants submitted 6,511 nominations.
The following Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine doctors were chosen among 160 other UW Medicine doctors as tops in their field for 2011 by "Seattle Met Magazine".
The Seattle Met magazine list covers 66 specialties and represents the top 5 percent of practitioners in their fields as of May 24, 2011. The Seattle Met survey was conducted in partnership with Avvo, which rates and profiles 90 percent of the doctors in the United States including all of the doctors in Washington state. Avvo's proprietary methodology rates physicians on a 10-point scale. It relies not only on peer endorsements, but also on such factors as experience, training, disciplinary history, fellowships, hospital privileges, awards and information from certifying and licensing boards.
