Top Doctors 2007
Health care is a science and an art. It’s a practice steeped in tradition on a swiftly changing landscape. As the practice of medicine has grown more complex, people increasingly look to physicians to provide a sense of trust and clarity.
Each year, New Hampshire Magazine surveys the state’s physicians asking them, if they or a family member were sick, who they would go to for diagnosis or treatment. The results of the 2007 survey are in and Top Doctors have been selected in 24 specialties. Here are the doctors who have been chosen by their peers.
