Texas Monthly Super DoctorsTM and Best Doctorsâ Recognize ADC Doctors for Excellence in 2011


AUSTIN, TX— The Austin Diagnostic Clinic doctors have been recognized once again on two comprehensive surveys as some of the top peer-recommended physicians statewide and nationally.

A total of 34 ADC doctors were recognized as either “Super Doctors™” in 2011 by Texas Monthly, or as “Best Doctors in America®” in 2011-12 by the Boston-based group Best Doctors, Inc. There were 21 ADC physicians named “Texas Monthly Super Doctors,” while 23 doctors received the “Best Doctors in America” moniker.  Ten ADC physicians appeared on both lists.

The “Texas Monthly Super Doctors” list is based on a survey of more than 40,000 doctors who were asked to nominate one or more doctors other than themselves from specified medical specialties, based on the answer to the question: “If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?”  The full list is available in the November 2011 issue of Texas Monthly.

About 45,000 doctors were selected through a peer-review process to be on the bi-annual “Best Doctors in America” list. Physicians were asked to identify specialists who are considered to be the most skilled in their fields and most qualified for reviewing and treating complex medical conditions. Nationally, only five percent of doctors earned the designation.

ADC DOCTORS RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE

Those receiving both recognitions are allergist/immunologist Thomas Smith, M.D.; cardiologist Stuart Damore, M.D.; internal medicine specialists Laura Guerrero, M.D., Richard DeBehnke, M.D., and William Lockett, M.D.; neurologist Everett Heinze, M.D.; pediatricians Juan Guerrero, M.D., Beth Nauert, M.D., and Dick Worrel, M.D.; and rheumatologist James Crout, M.D.
