Choosing A Top Doctor: The Cure For A Failing Health System

A "National Scorecard on Health System Performance" report has spread alarm in the health care community. The report, by the Commonwealth Fund, gave the U.S. a questionable 66 out of 100. Part of the problem alluded to by the report related to consumer access to the best health care.

The good news is that it's now easier for consumers to find doctors and the hospitals at which they practice. Dr. John Connolly, publisher of "America's Top Doctors," a consumer guide profiling more than 5,000 of the nation's top medical doctors, is familiar with this recurring health care issue.

"The first step in finding the best health care is finding a top doctor," said Dr. Connolly, president and CEO of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. "Our books and online information about top doctors help consumers make the most informed decisions regarding their medical care."
