Best Doctors lists their favorite MUSC docs Assuming the best evaluators of doctors are other doctors, Best Doctors Inc., of Boston, Mass., and Aiken, S.C., each year polls doctors across the country.  For more than a decade, Best Doctors has used polling methodology designed to mimic the informal peer-peer referral process that doctors themselves use to identify appropriate specialists for their patients. These are the doctors that other doctors recognize and turn to for themselves and their families. Best Doctors surveys also identify outstanding local primary care physicians. The proprietary 2001-2002 Best Doctors in America database includes more than 30,000 doctors in 43 specialties and more than 400 subspecialities, representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
