| Posted On Jan 20, 2016 | By: Atrius Health
Atrius Health is pleased to announce that 41 of our physicians appear on the Best Doctors in America® List for 2015-2016. Only five percent of doctors in America earn this prestigious honor, decided by impartial peer review.
Best Doctors has earned a worldwide reputation for reliable, impartial results by remaining totally independent. Doctors cannot pay to be included in the Best Doctors database, nor are they paid to provide their input. The List is a product of validated peer review, in which doctors who excel in their specialties are selected by their peers in the profession.
The highly regarded Best Doctors in America® List, assembled by Best Doctors, Inc. and audited and certified by Gallup®, results from exhaustive polling of over 40,000 physicians in the United States. In a confidential review, current physician listees answer the question, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?” Atrius Health’s group of experts listed in the database includes world-class specialists in internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology, as well as physicians in 12 other specialties including cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and ophthalmology.

Comments
You forgot Dr. Peter Young, dermatologists in Quincy
And Dr. Sara Kelly, internal medicine Braintree.
I think there were so many overlooked
Thanks for your comment – we agree!
Congratulations Dr. Pupo! The Sweeney family has known for a long time that you are the best!
Congratulations. Dr.Roseto
Hey, I don’t see Dr. Sara Kelly, Internal Medicine Braintree on this list! Absolutely no one cares more about their patients than she does.
How could they overlook Dr Sara Kelly. One of your very best
I believe that Dr. Cheryl Warner should have been on that list.
A few doctors have been overlooked. Dr Barbara Peters , Concord
Really I have been going to Harvard for years in Quincy and there are many great doctors there. I do not know how they rate them but I know they are awesome in Quincy. And how about the gastroenterologist in Kenmore great there as well. Especially Dr Maier and Dr Post
Dr. Noor Roomi also is worthy of this recognition
Dr. Roseto is an amazing doctor from harvard vanguard kenmore! Exremely knowlegable, easy to talk to and very helpful!!
Any list such as this which does not include Howard Marton and Irena Maier, is an incomplete list. Period.
Julie Kaufman (Internal Medicine) Harvard Vanguard – P.O. Square Bosto should definitely be on this list! She retired the end of December 2015. To those of us who were her patients, she was a great doctor as well as always being personable. Dr. Kaufman really cared and should not have been overlooked.
What about Richard Galgano he is the best
They forgot Dr. Ross Reel, I have been with him for a long time. He has never be wrong yet. That really says something!!!
Yes, way too many overlooked!!! Medical care thru Harvard Vanguard is fabulous, and so are so many of the medical people…!!!
Thank you all for all you do!!!
Not a psychiatrist mentioned. I’m going to boycott the Oscars.
Congratulations Dr. Pupo! Well deserved. 🙂
Richardson Family
Dr. Aaron Levine (spine Unit) deserves to be listed
I would suggest that picking the BEST DOCTOR should come from the patient, don’t you agree? Well I have a Doc, my cardiologist, who I feel without a doubt should be added to that honor roll of the BEST! Dr. Sonya Viziri, Harvard Vanguard West Rox/Chestnut Hill. She is a great human being and a caring dedicated Doctor, and because of her, my health and quality of life has improved considerably! And at my age of 81 years, it took a lot of doctoring on her part, and I love her for all she has done for me! Not just one hell of a Doc, add in a sweet and beautiful person that makes us all feel good, because she makes the visit feel like a good day !
Definitely add Dr. Eric Sawitz, Braintree HV, to the list of best doctors for his infinite caring and patient listening. For the very rare times he did not know the best treatment, he made sure he found it and followed up on it. Dr. Sawitz certainly has a lot of “patience,” along with great tact and is always professional and polite.
He also has a great sense of humor!
I am very disappointed that Dr Susan Racine did not make this list.She is at Kenmore,
Dr. Eric Sawitz for caring, patience, tactfulness and finding the right treatment.
Congratulations Dr. Kim. Rose and I think your great.
They overlooked Dr. Penn0yer at Kenmore and Dr. Williams at Kenmore as he is ENT. They are excellent
It would be good to see more primary care doctors on this list. Our own, Dr. Holmes, in Braintree, is terrific. It’s no wonder so few medical school grads are now opting for specialties instead of primary care since internal medicine doctors earn less and get less recognition. In recent years, they are also often deprived by the system of referrals and specialists from fully managing their patients’ needs and care.
I really think many more deserve to be on the list!
Braintree has the most wonderfull Doctors and nurse practitioners (Paula Casford)!
I ave been goint toBraintree Harvard Vanguard for many years. I absolutly give high praise to all in the pharmacy also
We agree completely! Thanks for your comments about our great team at Braintree.
I certainly agree on Dr Garber
Congratulations to all of these physicians and thank you HVMA for providing us with excellent medical care. I agree with Deb, that so many were overlooked.
I would like to congratulate Dr. Jeffrey Garber and Dr. Nancy Kim! They’ve made such a difference in my daily life and I’m eternally grateful for their expertise.
I have had a number of wonderful doctors at the Peabody site. In particular, I would like to mention Dr.Mark Raizin, Internal Medicine. He is very thorough, caring and is a great communicator. He also manages to keep
to with my care from other specialists. In fact I know I have a wonderful team caring for me and our medical record and My Health assists them to coordinate with the others and myself. Thanks to all of them and the friendly support staff!
Breaking news…41 physicians from Atrius Health named Best Doctors in American has been revised by Bob Hession of Chelmsford to 43. They are…
Mrs. Raj R. Gupta, MD–Internal Medicine, Harvard Vanguard Chelmsford
Mr. J. Mathieu Massicotte,MD –Urology, Harvard Vanguard Chelmsford
Congratulations to the Doctors and their staff, well deserved.
Bob Hession and family.
I’m sleeping better already, seeing Dr. Roseto’s name on the list, and agree with the person who said Dr. Vaziri’s name should also be there. I’ve been a Harvard-Vanguard patient since 1971.
Dr. Eric Diamond at Post Office Square and Pamela Diamond in Cambridge were overlooked!!!!! They are the best! And take very good care of their patients!
Congrats Dr. Pupo! Your knowledge, your easy going personality, your communication & listening skills make you #1 in my book!
I agree, Dr. Nancy Kim is excellent. However, Dr Joanne Wilkinson, Wellesley, is also a fabulous primary care physician. kudos to all!
Dr Garber. I knew you were you are the best! Congratulations!
I have a very wonderful doctor at the Braintree Center. He is Christopher Teitleman, MD, and I feel he is very deserving of this honor. It is very telling that so many of us (who bothered to respond) would elect so many other docs! A feather in your cap, Harvard medical!
Congratulations! Dr. Jeffrey Zarin for being chosen as Best Doctor in America for 2015-2016!
I shoulda had Dr. Zarin, autograph my knee replacement! Every aspect of my knee replacement was excellent. A shout out to his staff for coordination and communication as I went through the preparation, recovery, rehab, and reconditioning.
Congratulations Dr Roseto. The honor is greatly deserved. I’m sure I am not the only one who knew it all the time.
By the way, I will be in Storres the weekend after next and will be thinking of you.
