More than 300 Wake Forest Baptist Health physicians have been peer-selected to the Best Doctors in America list for 2019-2020.
Only about four percent of doctors in America receive this recognition, which is the result of a poll of physicians in the same specialty, conducted by Best Doctors in America.
Each listed physician has received peer consensus as a physician from whom other physicians would seek care. Selected physicians are verified as being clinically active with an active medical license free from disqualifying actions.
The poll is conducted every two years.
