More than 5,000 questionnaires were sent to doctors from one end of Connecticut to the other asking them to recommend a doctor to whom they would send a loved one for expert medical care. In this year's survey, the focus was on eight specialties: dermatology, gastroenterology, general surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, urology and infectious diseases, which is being included for the first time. The most recommended doctors, as well as top finishers from 2009-2011 made the final list.

"We are so thrilled that so many Stamford Hospital physicians are regarded as top specialists in our area," said Dr. Sharon Kiely, Senior VP, Medical Affairs & Chief Medical Officer. "The fact that our physicians are acknowledged year over year underscores just how fortunate we are to have such an outstanding medical staff."
