Across the Spectrum of Specialty and Primary Care, "Top Docs" Abound at Marin General Hospital
GREENBRAE, CA — Across 33 specialties (including primary care), 208 physicians practicing at Marin General Hospital have been named to the prestigious [415] Top Doctors 2012 by Marin Magazine.
The list was compiled through peer-to-peer polling of more than 4,000 doctors in San Francisco and Marin counties, who were asked to select the physicians they considered the best of the best. Every doctor in the area was both a candidate and a voter (they were not allowed to vote for themselves, nor were they permitted to vote more than once for any given doctor.) Participants could vote for doctors in all specialties.
"Residents of Marin should be reassured by this survey-which measures the honest and anonymous opinions of fellow physicians-that there's absolutely no reason to cross the bridge to find care," said Dr. Joel Sklar, Chief Medical Officer of Marin General Hospital, which is home to the county's only trauma center, labor and delivery services, full service cancer care program, comprehensive heart and vascular care, accredited chest pain center, inpatient pediatric program, spine and brain institute, certified primary stroke center that can treat all types of stroke onsite, and inpatient psychiatric treatment services.
