Health Care Heroes

by

It happens every few years — either to you, a friend or a family member:  You need to find a new doctor.

Maybe your family doctor retired, or maybe he’s no longer ‘in-network’ with your new insurance company. Maybe you have a new baby in your house, or maybe your aging parents need alternative care. Maybe you’re looking for a specialist to help you manage a new illness, or maybe you just need to put your health care needs in the hands of a new doctor.

And not just any doctor will do. You’re looking for a physician who’s an expert in her field, someone you can trust with your unique medical issues, a doctor who is not only sought after by his patients but respected by his peers.

That’s why we focus every December on four local doctors who have been named to The Best Doctors in America® 2013 list. With practices at Akron Children’s Hospital, Summa Health System, Akron General Medical Center and Aultman Hospital, this year’s featured doctors represent a wide variety of fields—from family medicine and infectious disease, to pediatric nephrology and maternal fetal medicine.

If you should ever need the expertise of a local physician, we hope you’ll make an appointment to see one of these health care heroes. Their talent and community commitment are worthy of consideration.
