CHARLESTON, SC, -- Two Medical University of
South Carolina physicians are the only doctors in South Carolina sited
among a listing of Top Doctors for Women from Coast to Coast in the
April LadiesÕ Home Journal.
For the Southeast region, which includes 10 Southeastern states,
under the category of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Paul Underwood, M.D.,
professor of obstetrics and gynecology, was among the 10 physicians
selected. Under the category of gynecologic oncology, Matthew Kohler,
M.D., director of gynecologic oncology and associate professor of
obstetrics and gynecology, was listed.
The directory, which consists of doctors in the three womenÕs
health fields: obstetrics/gynecology, gynecological oncology and breast
cancer was developed by Castle Connolly, the publisher of the consumer
guide AmericaÕs Top Doctors. ConnollyÕs team of physicians and
researchers followed a rigorous screening process to select the
nationÕs top doctors. Using mail and telephone surveys, electronic
ballots and other research, they asked area physicians to identify
highly skilled, exceptional doctors. Then did a careful screening of
the doctorsÕ education and professional experience before making the
final selection to the list.
