Where you go for medical treatment can make a huge difference in the outcome of your illness or procedure. Physicians, more so than the general public, are in the position to know what makes a particular hospital, or a department within a hospital, a recommended place to get medical treatment. Through reading medical journals, attending scientific conventions, and talking with other clinicians, doctors often develop a sense of where they themselves would go for medical care. We felt that their opinions would be valuable to share.
