Have you heard of Super Doctors? Super Doctors identifies top doctors as selected by their peers and the independent research of Key Professional Media. Super Doctors is published online and also in print as a special advertising section in leading newspapers and city and regional magazines. We are thrilled to announce that RRC’s board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist has been named to this prestigious list! Congratulations, Dr. Celeste Brabec!
See for yourself; this is a very small list with only approximately 5% of physicians within the respective state or region being included. This should serve as further evidence of our culture of innovation. RRC’s high standards have resulted in enormous achievements in infertility treatment – and we’re eager to share our success with you!
As a highly-trained infertility specialist, Dr. Brabec and her staff at RRC offer an unprecedented experience base to treat infertility issues utilizing the best possible treatment and technology.
THE SUPER DOCTORS SELECTION PROCESS
In selecting physicians for Super Doctors, Key Professional Media employs a rigorous multi-step process designed to identify physicians who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Super Doctors is a selective yet diverse listing of outstanding doctors, representing consumer-oriented medical specialties.
First, a pool of candidates is created. Each year Key Professional Media sends out thousands of ballots to doctors asking them to nominate colleagues they know to be exceptional in their specified field. Physicians are asked to consider the following question: “If you needed medical care in one of the following specialties, which doctor would you choose?” Numerous safeguards are in place to prevent ballot manipulation and doctors may not self-nominate.
Key Media also contributes to the pool of candidates by searching medical databases, online sources, and publications for doctors who have attained certain credentials, honors or professional achievements. This process also includes physicians in less visible or highly specialized medical treatment areas.
Candidates are evaluated on 10 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement:
- Years of experience
- Hospital appointments
- Fellowships
- Professional activities
- Leadership positions
- Academic achievements/positions
- Board certifications
- Publications, lectures & presentations
- Honors and awards
- Other outstanding achievement
- Blue Ribbon Panel Review
The last step is to total the points received from nominations, research, and blue ribbon panel review. Only the highest-scoring doctors are included on the Super Doctors list. The Super Doctors list is approximately 5% of the physicians within the respective state or region.
