Fort Worth, Texas magazine sent more than 4,500 local physicians a survey, asking them to voluntarily rate their peers and name the best doctors in Tarrant County. Medical professionals willing to participate went online to cast their votes.

While Fort Worth, Texas magazine provided the fields of specialty, the physicians identified the professionals they regard as being leaders in those fields.

The final results were submitted to a select panel of physicians for review.

Process:
Sample ballot notifying the medical community of the voting process and the ballot Web site address were mailed to the members of the Tarrant County Medical Society and the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association. Voting took place online. Those voting had to supply credential numbers in order to be able to participate.

Our Purpose:
To provide useful information as a supplement for input from other sources. (If you have a good relationship with a doctor, do not let this cause an unnecessary change.) Physicians from the medical community selected these doctors. However, many highly regarded professionals do not appear on this list. We hope you will find these results useful when you find yourself in need of a physician. These are some of the best. Please join us in congratulating the physicians chosen for this honor. By including a doctor on the list, Fort Worth, Texas magazine in no way recommends or endorses his or her services.
