16 Cincinnati Children's Doctors Named to Best Doctors List
Tuesday, April 03, 2007
Sixteen doctors at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center are featured in the April issue of Cincinnati magazine as being the best in the Tri-state.
The list was compiled by a survey mailed to 5,256 Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana licensed physicians in eight counties: Hamilton, Warren, Butler, and Clermont in Ohio; Boone, Campbell, and Kenton in Kentucky; and Dearborn in Indiana. The physicians were asked who they would turn to if "you, a family member, or a friend needed medical attention."
Cincinnati magazine highlighted 422 physicians in 42 specialties deemed the "best" in the Tristate by receiving five or more votes. Cincinnati Children's physicians include:
| Dermatology Ann W. Lucky, MD |
Reconstructive Plastic Surgery David A. Billmire, MD, FACS, FAAP Craniofacial and cleft lip and palate |
| Infectious Diseases Beverly L. Connelly, MD |
Thoracic Surgery and Cardiovascular Peter B. Manning, MD Pediatric surgery and critical care |
| Nephrology Frederic C. Strife, MD |
Urology Pramod Reddy, MD Curtis A. Sheldon, MD |
| Otolaryngology Robin T. Cotton, MD |
|
| Pediatrics (General) Christopher F. Bolling, MD |
|
| Pediatric Specialties Maria H. Alonso, MD Liver and kidney transplant Alvin H. Crawford, MD Orthopedics Kerry Crone, MD Neurosurgery Horacio Falciglia, MD Neonatology Murray H. Passo, MD Rheumatology Barbara B. Warner, MD Neonatology Brad W. Warner, MD Surgery |
Dr. Crone was featured in the issue and selected as one of the best in the field of pediatric neurosurgery. He explains his use of imaging technology to advance his surgical techniques, including endoscopic neurosurgery -- using small incisions and tiny instruments attached to fiber-optic viewing devices -- to repair cranial defects and to do biopsies on certain types of brain tumors and the opening of the BrainSUITE that combines image technology and traditional surgical procedures. However, the over 6,000 procedures and the patients affected are what drives him. He recently recalled a letter he received from a patient with an aggressive brain tumor who was 9 at the time of the operation. The letter stated that the patient had gone to college, was now a high school teacher, married and the father of three children.
