New York is known for its abundance of physicians and hospitals; it is an area where healthcare consumers have many choices and options.

Among the places that New Yorkers turn for advice on choosing a physician is New York Magazine’s annual “Best Doctors” list.

Winthrop- University Hospital is pleased to announce that 12 of our physicians were named to this year’s “Best Doctors” list, which included select physicians from Long Island, the five boroughs and several surrounding counties.

The Winthrop physicians on this year’s list include Steven Carsons, MD, Chief, Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology; Eva Chalas, MD, Chief, Gynecological Oncology; Burke A. Cunha, MD, Chief, Division of Infectious Disease; Nancy Epstein, MD, Chief, Neurosurgical Spine & Education; Irving Gomolin, MD, Chief, Division of Geriatric Medicine; Abraham Green, MD, Pediatrics; George L. Hines, MD, Chief, Division of Vascular Surgery; Leonard Krilov, MD, Chief, Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease; Lucy O. Macina, MD, Geriatric Medicine; Michael Niederman, MD, Chairman, Department of Medicine; Scott L. Schubach, MD, Chairman, Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery; and Mark Weinblatt, MD, Chief, Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology.

Five of these specialists – Drs. Chalas, Cunha, Krilov, Niederman and Weinblatt – are also included in the current editions of the prestigious national publications America’s Top Doctors® or America’s Top Doctors® for Cancer.

New York Magazine’s annual “Best Doctors” list is a collaboration of the publication and Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a New York City research and information company. Every year, thousands of New York-area physicians complete a survey which asks them to nominate doctors in virtually every specialty — those they have confidence in referring their own patients and family members to. The nominators also consider professional qualifications, education, reputation and the ways in which the nominee communicates with his/her patients. Castle Connolly then refines the list based on hundreds of interviews with leading specialists, chiefs of service and other hospital personnel.
