Nearly 80% of the physicians identified as Hawai`i’s “Best Doctors” for 2013 are alumni, faculty (or both) of the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). The annual “Best Doctors” list is determined by the doctors themselves, through a survey in which physicians are asked, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?” The Boston-based medical consulting company “Best Doctors, Inc.” compiles the annual list of “America’s Best Doctors”. Hawai`i’s list is published by Honolulu Magazine in its June 2013 issue.
