The biennial peer review survey from 2019–2020
The Top Docs named on these pages represent the individuals who received the highest number of nominations from their peers during our biennial peer review survey, the latest of which was conducted in 2019. Please note that many fine physicians who are either new to the area or affiliated with other medical institutions may not be included. No doctor paid to be on this list, however those doctors/hospitals who have purchased advertising in What’s Up? West County magazine this year have their full contact information included on their individual listing. Knowing who medical professionals consider the best in their respective fields is an invaluable asset.
