Top Doctors 2009-2010

Your article on the top doctors is a bit elitist. I find it hard to believe that no doctor outside of the northern NJ counties mader the list. This article just adds more proof that New Jersey Monthly caters to the elite and wealthy NJ / NY crowd.

I had two cancers ` 1983 breast, & 1986 lung cancer. Need good doctors in the Ocean Cty. area. Can you help? My present oncologist is hard to top. I need a gynocologist, MD for colds.

It’s too bad New Jersey Monthly determined its Top Doctors list by asking other doctors rather than the patients. If you had asked me about Dr. Serena Chen, on the cover of your magazine, I could have told you that I believe Dr. Chen pushed me out of her St. Barnabas clinic because treating extraordinarily difficult infertility cases like mine would hurt her IVF success statistics. Stats are everything in the competitive infertility business. Magazine covers help attract patients, too. Thankfully, I now have my daughter through the care of a true top doctor.

1. I have been a NJ licensed physician for about 14 years and never received the survey.

2. If all the online respondents need is a name and a license number, that is not difficult. This information is publicly available online. NJ state lists all physicians and their license numbers online so is really easy to have that information handy by anybody.

So glad to see that Dr Binetti made the list for OBGYN - he is TOPS!

This list is very silly. I can’t remember when a decent doctor made it!

I would like to see the paperwork which allowed nj monthly to select your top doctors. Apparantly central and south Jersey has none. SAD,SAD,SAD

As people become more educated about medicine, their bodies, food and a popular (certainly not temporary) interest in Eastern treatments, natural cures and Homeopathic medicine, it’s a shame there is no category for these kinds of doctors. And just as important but very hard to find are doctors who believe in preventative, proactive health care. Thomas Edison was quoted as saying, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patience in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease".

I would love to download a copy of the list of top doctors if possible.
Thanks

Dr.Delena should be removed from the top doctors. He never returns your calls, never contact you about the test result. If you try to contact him, the office says that you need to come personally and discuss it with him and pay another co-pay just to find out if everything is OK. He wants to collect money and care less about the patients.

And I have to agree that they are excellent in the field of oncology! They are top docs. Congrats!
Dr. Daniel Moriarty and Dr. Daniel Tobias

Two years ago I wrote to the editors of New Jersey Monthly asking for its survey methodology for their "Best Doctors" annual feature. I was told that this list was developed through a "survey of peers". In other words, "you nominate me and I’ll nominate you". The survey is a sham. Don’t be fooled by it.

Sorry to hear such negativity. I found the list to be very helpful and I found excellent doctors from it.

i thank you for putting this list together & publishing it. flawed or not, making a selection from this list is better than just looking through your plan’s directory & picking someone u dont know by -eeney-meeney-miney-schmoe method or just picking a dr that is geographically close to home, which is the way that i was choosing in the past. i will travel for a top doc. all the doctors that i visited on the list were top notch. one was a bit full of himself, but excellent none the less. in the past years there were plenty in the south jersey area, one in particular, dr martha lansing in trenton, just too far for me. my only complaint is now that more people are using this guide, the top docs fill up fast & many are no longer taking new patients. bummer.

I would say to look at www.ratemds.com for a list of doctors that have been reviewed by patients. I’m sure you’ll get better info and real life experiences from the general public.

My husband and I are trying to conceive for the past year. My current doctors is not giving me any answers and to be honest, she is making me very confused. I chose this doctor randomly out of my local newspaper and now start to think it would be best if someone truly recommended a really good infertility clinic. I would appreciate it.
