L+M Medical Staff has 23 'Top Docs'

Note: A previous version of this story did not have a complete list of physicians. Twenty-three Lawrence + Memorial affiliated physicians have been named among the state’s “Top Docs” in Connecticut magazine’s annual survey reported in its April issue. Many additional L+M doctors have been honored in past years, but the 23 singled out this year are: Mary Ann Bentz, dermatology; Patrick Doherty, neurosurgery; Richard A. Fraser, urology; John Frese, gastroenterology; Joseph J. Gadbaw, infectious disease; Alan J. Greenwald, gastroenterology; R. Preston Lamberton, diabetes and endocrinology; Daniel Moalli, neurology; Joseph F. O’Keefe, physiatry and rehabilitation; George S. Ouellette, gastroenterology; Joseph W. Peters, rehabilitation; Anthony Quinn, urology; Amarilis M. Talavera-Briggs, psychiatry; Dean Willis, general surgery; Phyllis A. Holtzman, pediatrics; Daniella Duke, dermatology; Terrence A. Doherty, family medicine; Robert E. Levin, rheumatology; Christopher M. Hutchins, orthopedic surgery; Eric R. Wolf, dermatology; Sandeep Varma, hospitalist (rheumatology); Dennis E. Slater, oncology and hematology, and Franklin P. Friedman, urology. Bruce D. Cummings, president and CEO at L+M, said the annual roster of top physicians is always a chance to acknowledge the fine work of the L+M medical staff. “Each year, it’s a source of pride to see so many of our own doctors represented on the list,” he said. “We commend this year’s honorees and all the other L+M physicians who have been selected in past years. These outstanding doctors are examples of what I believe all L+M employees strive to give our patients – quality care and excellence.” The ‘Top Docs’ list is compiled each year after the magazine sends 5,000 questionnaires to physicians across Connecticut asking them to name which specialists they’d send a loved one to for expert care. The top vote-getters make up the final list. # # #
