Durham, NC- Sixty seven physicians affiliated with Durham Regional Hospital appear on the Best Doctors in America® list for 2007-08.

This list, created by Best Doctors, Inc., results from polling of over 40,000 physicians in the United States. Doctors in over 400 subspecialties of medicine appear on this year's list.  In a confidential review, previous listees answer the question, "If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?"

Best Doctors, Inc. evaluates the review results, and verifies additional information to meet inclusion criteria. The experts that are part of the Best Doctors in America® database provide the most advanced medical knowledge to patients with serious conditions. Durham Regional's group of experts listed in the database includes specialists in orthopaedic surgery, urology and obstetrics and gynecology.

Best Doctors has earned a worldwide reputation for reliable, impartial results by remaining totally independent.

The list is a product of validated peer review, in which doctors who excel in their specialties are chosen. Only five percent of the doctors in America earn a spot on the list.
