Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 , Have you seen this report on the best hospitals of 2006? http://www.usnews.com/usnews/health/best-hospitals/honorroll.htm You'll be interested to see the rank of those two you recommend in each of your emails. s Hopkins is rated # 1, and also #1 in rheumatology. The Mayo Clinic is rated #2, and #2 in rheumatology. So perhaps you should reverse their order, LOL.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Ha, ha, Sue. Yes, I saw it. Since they rated the rheumatology specialty by asking 200 rheumatologists for the best top five (no hard data - on reputation only), and I've been to Mayo (and thought is was first class), but not s Hopkins, I'm still giving Mayo top billing. A couple of years ago, I pestered someone who used to be in our group to go to s Hopkins. She finally did and gave it a rave review. The beauty of both institutions is that they use the art of multidisciplinary consultation to arrive at the very tough diagnoses. Both also handle a high volume of patients and have a lot of data to work with. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

The Mayo Clinic is rated #2, and #2 in rheumatology. That's very interesting to see! Also comforting that 2 of the top 14 are close to me, (I'm 30 miles from Boston) and one was ranked 5th in Rheumatology, the other 8th. So, at least I've got good resources near by if I ever need them. I know my Rheumatologist, even though her practice is out in the 'burbs, near me, goes to a lot of conferences at the Boston hospitals. So she seems to be right on top of what's going on on the cutting edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
