Results of the nationwide survey were published in a reference guide and, according to the publisher, Woodward/White, Inc; “Only those physicians who earned the consensus support of their peers were included. Listings cannot be bought.” Dr. Noyes said this selection is a significant honor. “SportsMedicine like the Best Doctors in America educate the public in the field of medicine,” said Dr. Noyes. “But what I’m especially proud of is our entire Center, as a whole, has earned a reputation worldwide as the physician’s choice for orthopaedic care. Each one of our physicians collaborate within our own practice, sharing information and knowledge regarding all areas of orthopaedics, truly making this a multi-specialty Center with top notch credentials.” Doctors from as far away as the Middle East, Brazil even Canada have been treated at Cincinnati Sportsmedicine for knee, shoulder and back problems.
