In a survey of Texas medical professionals, 32 doctors from UTMB have been named Texas Super Doctors.

The doctors were selected by Key Professional Media Inc. and the publishers of Texas Monthly. More than 40,000 medical professionals were asked to nominate one or more doctors in specific medical specialties based on one question: “If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?” The findings are published in the December 2012 issue of Texas Monthly.

“This is a tremendous honor, especially when it comes from your peers,” said UTMB President Dr. David L. Callender. “That so many of our physicians have been honored by the Super Doc recognition is a testament to the commitment of our faculty to truly improve the lives of their patients through the exemplary care they provide every day.”
