MultiCare physicians honored as 'Top Doctors' by Seattle magazine
Looking for the best doctor in Tacoma? The "Top Doctors" list in this month's issue of Seattle magazine includes 12 physicians employed by MultiCare or affiliated with MultiCare hospitals.
Described by the magazine as "the best physicians in the Puget Sound region, as chosen by their peers," these "Top Docs" were selected from nearly 18,000 nominations.
"The doctors on this list have been selected by their peers as among the very best in their fields; whether practicing in oncology, pediatrics or dozens of other board-certified specialties, these are the doctors other doctors turn to when they or their families need care," the magazine said.
Earlier this month, many of the same physicians were honored by a national publication: U.S. News & World Report honors MultiCare's 'Top Doctors.'
