 Approximately 3,000 area physicians were mailed a survey from Fort Worth, Texas magazine and asked to name the best doctors in Tarrant County. Through an online voting process, medical professionals cast their votes for the top surgeons, doctors and physicians.
While Fort Worth, Texas magazine provided the fields of specialty, the physicians identified the professionals they regard as being leaders in their industry.
Here are their choices.Process:
- Sample ballot notifying the medical community of the voting process and the ballot Web site address were mailed to the members of the Tarrant County Medical Society and the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association.
- Voting took place online.
- The electronic votes were compiled by a technical support company and returned to Fort Worth, Texas magazine.
- Credentials were verified through access to public records.
Purpose:
- To provide useful information as a supplement for input from other sources. (If you have a good relationship with a doctor, do not let this cause an unnecessary change.)
- Physicians from the medical community selected these doctors. However, many highly regarded professionals do not appear on this list. We hope you will find these results useful when you find yourself in need of a physician. These are some of the best. Please join us in congratulating the physicians chosen for this honor.
By including a doctor on the list, Fort Worth, Texas magazine in no way recommends or endorses his or her services.
