86 Bridgeport Hospital physicians on “Best Doctors” List

Tuesday, April 3, 2018
BRIDGEPORT, CT (April 3, 2018) – A total of 86 Bridgeport Hospital-affiliated physicians and more than 400 from across Yale New Haven Health – which includes Bridgeport, Yale New Haven, and Lawrence + Memorial hospitals along with Northeast Medical Group – have been selected by their state colleagues for Connecticut Magazine’s 2017-2018 Best Doctors in America list as seen in the April 2018 issue.

“Bridgeport Hospital is fortunate to have a medical staff that is held in high regard by both patients and colleagues,” said William M. Jennings, president and CEO of Bridgeport Hospital and executive vice president of Yale New Haven Health. “This recognition reaffirms the commitment to patient- and family-centered care of our entire healthcare team, including our dedicated and highly skilled physicians and surgeons.”

Connecticut Magazine’s selection methodology recently changed when Hearst Media acquired the publication. The list is now compiled by Best Doctors, which undertakes a peer-to-peer survey every two years. Only currently listed Best Doctors can submit nominations for doctors who, in their judgment, are the best in their field.

The “Best Doctors” issue, featuring more than 800 physicians representing scores of specialties, is available online at http://www.connecticutmag.com/article_af095394-27da-11e8-b933-9b11a0051c15.html.
