USF Health continues to have a strong presence on the annual Best Doctors in America® survey.

This year, the local list included 119 physicians who currently work at USF Health. Further proof that the advanced health care provided at this region’s only academic health center is practiced and taught by this area’s best.

The annual list for Best Doctors in America is compiled from surveys of physicians asking them who they would go to for treatment in their specialty. The result is a national listing of 53,000 physicians – about 6 percent of this country’s 900,000 physicians.

“USF Health doctors make up the significant proportion of this list, and that speaks volumes for the quality of care that USF Health-trained and practicing physicians provide to families throughout west central Florida,” said Charles Lockwood, MD, senior vice president of USF Health and dean of the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine.

“In today’s changing healthcare landscape, patients are now, more than ever, looking for the best care. And the physicians of USF Health are providing leading-edge health education and care. They are the best doctors and provide care you can’t find anywhere else.”

The following list is of USF Health physicians who currently practice medicine within the nearly three dozen clinical sites, specialty care centers and affiliated hospitals throughout the region. Some physicians earned spots in more than one specialty, so are listed multiple times but counted only once in our totals.
