A number of physicians at the MGH have been named "Top Docs for Women" by Boston Magazine. The honorees, appearing in the February issue, were chosen for their excellence in treating women and in exploring women's health issues. Boston Magazine conducted a survey of 500 doctors in various specialties, asking them to name peers whom they would recommend to treat their own loved ones. The magazine supplemented the results by interviewing hospital, clinic and health association personnel about the nominees.
