Deborah Physicians Honored by South Jersey Magazine: A Distinguished Roster Selected for the 2009 Top Physicians List

Two of Deborah Heart and Lung Center’s surgeons have been honored by South Jersey Magazine in this year’s Top Physicians list. As well, four of Deborah’s doctors have been honored with a Readers Choice Award. Dr. Lynn McGrath and Dr. Arthur Ng have both been named as regional Top Physicians in Thoracic Surgery. Only three awards were provided in this category, and two of them were captured by Deborah surgeons.

The Readers Choice Awards were given to Dr. Konstantin Dateshidze, Anesthesiology; Dr. Betsey Schloo, Pathology; Dr. Kane L. Chang, Vascular Surgery; and Dr. Lynn McGrath in Cardiothoracic Surgery. The magazine selected the Top Physicians based on independent ratings research supplied by HealthGrades. The national
HealthGrades patient-preferred doctors list is compiled based on lack
of state and federal sanctions, no malpractice judgements, and holding required board certifications. In addition to the physician meeting all these requirements, each one must also obtain a “definitely yes” or “mostly yes” average score in reference to “Would you recommend this physician to family or friends?” on patient experience survey results.

“I am thrilled that five of our physicians have been recognized by South Jersey Magazine, with Dr. McGrath being recognized twice,” said Deborah President and CEO John R. Ernst. “We strive very hard to not only maintain the highest professional standards, but also retain the highest level of patient satisfaction scores. When our staff is recognized for these efforts, it reinforces the hard work and dedication that they put in every day.”
