Two
From New Hampshire Oncology/Hematology Named "Top Docs"
HOOKSETT,
NH Two members of the regional group practice, New Hampshire
Oncology-Hematology, PA, have been named among New Hampshires
top physicians, as judged by other physicians in the state.
Denis
Hammond, MD, and Robert Friedlander, Jr., MD, are featured as "Top
Docs" in the area of oncology in Aprils edition of New
Hampshire Magazine. The distinction was the result of a survey sent
to 3,100 of the states physicians by the magazine. The survey
asked, "If you or a loved one were sick, which physician would
you choose?"
Thirty-five
physicians were nominated in the field of oncology, according to
the magazines assistant editor, Sheila Frost. "Dr. Hammond
and Dr. Friedlander were nominated by a wide margin. They received
30 percent more nominations than the next nominee," she explained.
Dr.
Hammond is a founding partner of New Hampshire Oncology-Hematology,
PA, which was established more than 26 years ago in Manchester.
He is a member of the board of directors of the American Society
of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Friedlander joined the group practice
in 1987. He is founder of Innisfree Cancer Help, a non-profit organization
whose mission is to help ease the distress of the cancer experience.
Both physicians see patients in greater-Manchester. Dr. Hammond
also sees patients in Exeter, while Dr. Friedlander provides cares
for patients in the Lakes Region. New Hampshire Oncology-Hematology
PA has five locations in New Hampshire Hooksett, Concord,
Laconia, Exeter, and Derry.
"Our
colleagues are well deserving of his honor, and being recognized
by fellow physicians makes the honor that much more meaningful,"
said Danny Sims, MD. "They have a great depth of experience
and knowledge, but most importantly for their patients, they have
a strong sense of caring. That gives patients and their families
confidence in them as physicians. Were so proud to be their
partners and colleagues."
The
magazine will publish the names of "Top Docs" in 42 specialty
medical fields.
