Issue Highlights Novel Medical Breakthroughs and Advancements In the Philadelphia Region
Selected by their physician peers throughout the region, 60 outstanding Main Line Health physicians have been recognized by Philadelphia magazine as 2012 “Top Doctors.”
This year’s May issue of the magazine contained the customary and prestigious list of “Top Doctors,” and the publication’s editorial focused on the Philadelphia area physicians and researchers working to help improve and save lives through advanced, “miracle” medicine.
“We are extremely proud of the physicians who made this year’s “Top Doctors” list,” said Jack Lynch, President and CEO of Main Line Health. “At MLH, we are fortunate to have over 1,900 physicians across our health system who provide highly personalized, advanced medicine to create a superior experience for every patient who comes to us. I thank our team of doctors for their remarkable commitment to our patients and the health of the communities we serve.”
Two Main Line Health hospitals, Paoli Hospital and Bryn Mawr Rehab, were profiled in the publication for specific contributions to the advancement of medicine. At Paoli, Dr. Atul Gupta was featured for his “MRA” fusion method, a revolutionary procedure that helps women with uterine fibroids and other reproductive issues to conceive. Bryn Mawr Rehab was spotlighted for the use of Lokomat ® Therapy, a technique used to help patients with traumatic brain injuries or brain damage learn to walk again.
The “Top Doctors” list is based on results from Castle Connolly, an independent research company. MLH physicians can nominate peers for Top Doctor recognition 365 days a year by visiting the Castle Connolly’s confidential online physician nomination portal: http://www.castleconnolly.com/nominations/index.cfm?DoctorID.
