FIVE YEAR HONOREE PATIENTS' CHOICE AWARD Dr. Jeffrey Wint

Top Ten Doctor 2012

Dr. Wint has been chosen as a 2012 Top ten Doctor by Vitals the leading online physician information and ratings resource. Vitals has established the Top 10 Doctor award to help patients easily identify the highest-rated doctors in their neighborhoods, as well as to honor local specialists who've received the highest praise from their patients online.

Top 10 Doctors are chosen by patients who visit Vitals in search of a new doctor, totaling 120 million people each year. Vitals visitors also leave ratings and reviews for their current doctors on various components of care: bedside manner, follow-up care, ease of appointment setting, courtesy of office staff, and overall appointment experience.

Vitals analyzed these patient-provided ratings in order to identify those physicians within a certain specialty and neighborhood who are consistently rated highly.

Only about 20,000 doctors - less than 3 percent of all doctors nationally - met the criteria for Top 10 Doctor honors in 2012. The winners represent 39 specialties and more than 2,500 neighborhoods across the US.

Patients who see the Top 10 Doctor icon on a doctor's Vitals profile can feel confident that doctor has been vetted through the experiences of their fellow patients and neighbors, whose testimonials attest to the doctor's superior care.

Doctors who've been honored as a Top 10 Doctor for 2012 can look forward to being set apart from the crowd with an icon added to their profile in recognition of their accomplishment, increasing their visibility to prospective patients.

Top 10 Doctor is part of a suite of awards given by Vitals each year, including Patients' Choice and Compassionate Doctor.  and Dr. WInt has received both of these as well for the last several years
