Top Doctors 2019



The Marine Room

2019 ELECTION: MAY 6 — JUNE 17

 
SAN DIEGO COUNTY PHYSICIANS
 

The San Diego County Medical Society (SDCMS) invites you to participate in the selection process for “Physicians of Exceptional Excellence” — Top Doctors 2019.

The SDCMS leadership wishes this process, while not perfect, to be fair, open and honest for physician peers selecting the top 5% of active San Diego County physicians.

Several years ago we significantly improved the selection process to ensure a more proportionate representation between modes of practice — balancing the selectees between large groups and the solo, small and medium practices. But if you don’t vote, the process improvements won’t help.

Furthermore, we’ve simplified the process by utilizing one ballot that lists every physician who holds a valid California medical license practicing in San Diego County.

The election is fully compatible with mobile devices. You may use your phone or tablet to view and cast your ballot anytime, anywhere.

When making your selections, we ask you to consider the following:

  • Vote for at least 4 physicians in your specialty
  • Select physicians you would personally see or refer patients to
  • Select physicians who exhibit excellence in leadership, teaching/research and humanitarian services

You may select up to 10 physicians.
