INDIANAPOLIS — More than 350 IU School of Medicine physicians in over 60 specialties and sub-specialties were recently recognized as “Top Docs” in Indianapolis Monthly’s November issue.
“It’s an honor to be recognized alongside so many colleagues at the IU School of Medicine as one of Indianapolis’ ‘top doctors,'” said R. Michael Meneghini, M.D., an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at the IU School of Medicine, who is featured on the magazine’s cover. “I’m hopeful this honor will help raise awareness in the community about the many highly skilled medical specialists in our city, especially among the full-time faculty and volunteer physicians affiliated with the school.”
In addition to Dr. Meneghini, Indianapolis Monthly featured a story about Sharon P. Andreoli, M.D., Byron P. & Frances D. Hollett Professor of Pediatrics at the IU School of Medicine, an expert on kidney problems in children who serves as a physician at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. The issue also features short Q-and-A segments with IU faculty members Jeffrey O. Anglen, M.D.; Earnest Asamoah, M.D.; Naga Chalasani, M.D., and Theresa Rohr-Kirchgraber, M.D.
The list was compiled by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a health care research and information company, which selected this year’s honorees by asking physicians to recommend someone they would see themselves or suggest to a company member. Participants in the survey included about 700 licensed medical professionals in the Indianapolis area representing 60 specialist and hundreds of areas of expertise.
