New York, NY (1888PressRelease)
January 24, 2009 - Steven Lansman MD/PhD, Professor of Surgery at New York Medical College and Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Westchester Medical Center, was recently named to New York Magazine’s list of 2008 Best Doctors. This list profiles the top 1,434 physicians in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut areas.
The New York Magazine’s list represents about a quarter of the top 10 percent of New York-area physicians, as determined by Castle Connolly, a New York City research and information firm that publishes an annual guidebook titled Top Doctors: New York Metro Area. The guidebook lists the top 10 percent of the region’s physicians and profiles more than 6,000 in all. Doctors are selected through a peer-review process and the firm investigates each doctor’s credentials and disciplinary history. The list is also balanced based on geographic location and specialty.
Currently serving as Professor of Surgery at New York Medical College and Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Westchester Medical Center, Dr. Lansman of the New York Cardiothoracic Group has over twenty five years experience in the field of Thoracic Surgery and is honored, for the third consecutive year, to be chosen by his peers as one of the New York-area’s top specialists in Thoracic Surgery.
