At the beginning of every calendar year, Cincinnati Magazine runs a section in their January issue called "Top Doctors." I think this is a valuable tool to use as a starting point for finding a good physician, or for finding a physician in a specialty that you are unfamiliar with. The list works like this:
Cincinnati Magazine surveys 5,297 physicians in eight counties—Hamilton, Warren, Butler, and Clermont in Ohio; Boone, Campbell, and Kenton in Kentucky; and Dearborn in Indiana. They ask those physicians to tell us whom they would turn to if "you, a family member, or a friend needed medical attention." (And they are asked to refrain from nominating themselves.)
The results: 571 physicians in 42 specialties, each of whom received at least five votes from their peers. The final results are checked against state medical board records to ensure that the list does not include any doctors with formal actions against them. The list does not, of course, include every caring, knowledgeable, and responsible physician in Greater Cincinnati. Unless otherwise indicated, physicians on the list are accepting new patients. Also unless otherwise indicated, these physicians are M.D.s. Some physicians are listed in multiple specialties.
You do not need to subscribe to the magazine to view the list online. You can click on the link below. Note: the first page of the list is blank, so you will need to scroll down to get to the list.
