Majority of State’s ‘Best Doctors’ at UAMS

May 26, 2017 | Of the 308 Arkansas physicians named to the recently released 2017 Best Doctors in America list, nearly 200 are on staff at UAMS.

The list is compiled annually by Best Doctors Inc., a health care information service company headquartered in Massachusetts, and is published by the weekly newspaper Arkansas Times. Researchers at Best Doctors Inc. formulate the list through a polling method that gathers opinions from thousands of doctors across the country. Physicians cannot pay to be included in the database and are not paid to provide input.

Sara Tariq, M.D., practices internal medicine and serves as assistant dean for undergraduate clinical education in the UAMS College of Medicine.

Gallup, a well-known and respected research, consulting and public opinion firm, has audited and certified Best Doctors Inc. as using the highest industry standards survey methodology and processes.

The UAMS College of Medicine faculty physicians to make the list cover many specialties and practice at UAMS Medical Center, Arkansas Children’s and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System.
