Record Number of Texas Health Care physicians recognized as 2014 “Top Doctors” in Fort Worth, Texas: The City’s Magazine

APRIL 1, 2014

Texas Health Care is proud to congratulate a record number of its members who have been recognized as 2014 “Top Doctors” in the April edition of Fort Worth, Texas: The City’s Magazine. This year a total of 43 Texas Health Care physicians, spanning 15 different specialties and practice areas, have received the “Top Doctors” honor.

To select the physicians who are included in the “Top Doctors” list, the magazine sends an annual voluntary survey to more than 4,500 Tarrant County physicians, asking them to list the colleagues they believe to be the best in a variety of fields. The list includes doctors in Fort Worth and the greater Tarrant County area.

Fourteen of the Texas Health Care physicians who have been recognized are members of the John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital surgical unit. The public-private partnership between JPS and Texas Health Care affords patients some of the best surgical care in North Texas, delivered in a public hospital setting. At the same time, taxpayers benefit from the unique value that Texas Health Care surgeons deliver to the hospital.

“We congratulate all of our members who have been recognized as 2014 ‘Top Doctors,’” said Michael Korenman, M.D., one of Texas Health Care’s Board members. “Each and every one of our physicians is dedicated to providing excellent care to their patients, and it is gratifying to see their work recognized by our peers,” he added.
