Spring training is already underway, which means that opening day at your nearest ball field is right around the corner. Fittingly, Men's Health magazine features up-and-coming New York Mets slugger David Wright on its cover, and inside some of the game's best players are spotlighted. But, on page 122, you'll find an article on who are considered to be the best of the best -- not on the baseball field, but in the medical field.
Twenty different endocrinologists are listed as being among the best in this area of medicine. Taking top honors in the northeast is Dr. Martin J. Abrahamson, medial director at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. Quoting Dr. Abrahamson, "A 15-minute visit to a primary-care physician isn't enough to help someone self-manage his diabetes. You need a team of experts to help you as you implement a whole new lifestyle to treat the disease."
America's Top Docs from other medical fields are also mentioned: neurologists, psychiatrists, gastroenterologists, dermatologists, cardiologists/internists, urologists, etc. You can find this article in the issue of Men's Health on news stands now.
