AMITA Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital issued the following announcement on Jan. 3.
One hundred eleven AMITA Health physicians have been recognized as Top Doctors in the Chicago area according to a study conducted by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a healthcare research and information company, and published in the January 2021 edition of Chicago magazine.
Castle Connolly invites licensed physicians across the U.S. to nominate peers as Top Doctors in any medical specialty and in any part of the nation. Physicians cannot nominate themselves and cannot pay to be named a Top Doctor. Each year, Castle Connolly receives nearly 100,000 nominations.
“We’re pleased to have so many AMITA Health physicians recognized, especially in what has been a very difficult and unique year in health care,” said Dr. Stuart Marcus, AMITA Health executive vice president and chief clinical officer. “This recognition comes directly from each physicians’ peers for their commitment to excellence. We congratulate not only these Top Doctors, but every member of our valued medical staff for the outstanding care they provide to our community year-round.”
AMITA Health physicians were recognized in their areas of expertise:
Allergy and immunology
Cancer care
Dermatology
Endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism
Gastroenterology
Geriatric medicine
Hematology
Infectious disease
Internal medicine
Nephrology
Neurology
Neuroradiology

Otolaryngology

A physician-led Castle Connolly research team rigorously screens nominees. The team examines comprehensive information about each nominee, such as the nominee’s medical education, training, board certifications, hospital appointments, administrative posts, professional achievements and malpractice and disciplinary history.
After this careful review, Castle Connolly selects physicians for its Top Doctors lists. Regional Top Doctors are outstanding physicians who “are highly sought after physician leaders in their communities and metropolitan areas,” according to Castle Connolly’s website (www.castleconnolly.com).
