Ninety UCI Health physicians listed among Best Doctors in America

January 15, 2018

Ninety UCI Health physician are listed among the Best Doctors in America® for 2017-2018, an honor given to just 5 percent of U.S. doctors in a national survey of their peers.

UCI Health has more physicians trusted by other doctors than any other medical group in Orange County and the region. Best Doctors has earned a sterling, worldwide reputation for reliable, impartial results by remaining totally independent. Doctors cannot pay to be included in the Best Doctors database, nor are they paid to provide their input. The list is a product of validated peer review, in which doctors who excel in their specialties are selected by their peers in the profession.  

The list, assembled by Best Doctors, Inc. and audited and certified by Gallup®, results from exhaustive polling of over 40,000 physicians in the United States. In a confidential review, current physicians listed answer the question, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?”  Best Doctors, Inc. evaluates the review results, and verifies all additional information to meet detailed inclusion criteria.   

UCI Health honorees represent 30 medical specialties — and some are cited in more than one category. This breadth of expertise means that UCI Health provides the highest quality, world-class care, whatever your health needs are across Orange County.
