Publication recognizes 144 CHLA doctors across 42 specialty areas
Los Angeles magazine released its inaugural “Top Doctors” issue, honoring 144 physicians with privileges at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), ranked among the best pediatric academic medical centers in the United States. Many of these physicians are members of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group (CHLAMG) and the CHLA Health Network.
“We are fortunate to live in Los Angeles, home to many quality medical institutions and highly skilled doctors. This is all the more reason we are proud to have 144 CHLA-affiliated physicians highlighted as “Top Doctors” by their peers in the Los Angeles medical community,” says Children’s Hospital Los Angeles President and CEO Paul S. Viviano. “It’s because of the unparalleled expertise and dedication of our respected medical staff that we are able to create hope and build healthier futures for children in the region and beyond.”
The list identifies CHLA doctors from 42 different specialty areas such as pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery; pediatric hematology and oncology; neonatal and perinatal medicine; pediatric neurology and neurosurgery; orthopaedic surgery and many others. Many of CHLA’s areas of expertise also rank among the best in the country in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals Survey for 2017-18, which selected CHLA among the top six pediatric medical institutions overall nationally and no. 1 in California.
“This recognition is wonderful news for the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group, as it touts the prominence of our distinguished physicians who practice not just at CHLA but in the surrounding community as well,” says CHLA Medical Group CEO Larry Harrison.
To develop its list, Los Angeles magazine relies on Professional Research Services based in Troy, Michigan, to conduct peer-to-peer surveys, asking practicing physicians throughout Los Angeles County to identify the doctors considered to be at the top of their game. Only nominees with the greatest number of votes were selected as “Top Doctors.”
The April issue of Los Angeles magazine featuring the “Top Doctors” listing is available on newsstands now and can be found online at http://www.lamag.com/topdoctors/.
