New Guide Offered To Queens’ Best Doctors

Who are the best doctors in Queens and, more importantly, is yours on the list?
You can find them here by scanning the list of 253 borough physicians chosen by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. in its new book: How to Find the Best Doctors New York Metro Area.
The listing of top Queens doctors may help you through the abundance of health resources in Queens.
The editors of the book made the choices based on the nominations of 60,000 doctors and nurses in the New York metropolitan area who were asked to list colleagues "to whom they would send their own families for care."
The new 1999 edition gives the following details about dozens of specialists:
• An index that lists a physician’s special area of practice, such as allergies, diabetes, liposuction, joint replacement and others.
• A list of accepted health insurance plans.
• Doctors’ office hours, accepted forms of payments and whether they are accepting new patients.
• A list of languages spoken in the office.
The book’s publication is timely because February is an open-enrollment periods for HMOs.
The purpose of the book is educational and informational and not intended to replace the advice of your physician or to assist the layman in diagnosing or treating illness, disease or injury.
We are not including addresses and phone numbers of listed physicians. That information is available by purchasing a copy of the book.. The Castle Connolly Guide, How to Find the Best Doctors New York Metro Area retails for $19.95 and is available at Barnes & Noble and most bookstores.
The Queens Courier recently published a list of doctors, dentists and professionals who were found in violation by the New York State Dept. of Health and the New York State Dept. of Education.
