20 Springs docs named ‘Most Influential’
Twenty Colorado Springs physicians are listed among the nation’s most influential doctors in a unique public database released by USA Today on Thursday.The local doctors were among 6,000 in 300 metro areas considered to be leaders in their communities in treating one or more of four key chronic conditions: diabetes, asthma, hypertension and high cholesterol. The database was created by Santa Fe-based Qforma for USA Today.”Unlike standard best-doctor lists compiled by opinion-based surveys, the Qforma analysis represents a national effort to track subtle differences in doctors’ practice patterns that reveal, on a local level, which doctors most influence their peers,” USA Today wrote, in its explanation of the database.The local doctors are: Bonnie Baswell, Eric Caplan, Stephen Fox, James Glass, David Greenberg, Susan Henley, Melinda Hockensmith, Deborah Jalowiec, Terry Johler, Charles Johnson, Russell Lee, Roger Mallory, William Munson, Robert Nathan, Yogesh Shrestha, William Storms, Christoph Tulin, Gregory Unruh, Richard Vu, and James Warren.To see the USA Today database, click here.
