Top Doctors 2010
Our annual list of Portland's Top Docs in 73 specialties
Frequently Asked Questions
Who picks the doctors on the list?
The local medical community does. This year, we chose roughly 5,000 doctors and 2,000 registered nurses in the tri-county area and southern Washington at random and invited them to participate in our online survey. We asked, “If you or a loved one were in need of medical help, which doctor would you choose?” Each participant could nominate one doctor in as many as 76 specialties. Of course, there were a few ground rules: you could vote only once, and you couldn’t vote for yourself (yep, we checked). The doctors who received the most votes in each field made our top docs list.
Why doesn’t your list include doctors of podiatry or alternative medicine?
Portland Monthly recognizes the contribution acupuncturists, naturopaths, chiropractors, and other doctors make to Portlanders’ health (in fact, most of our staff members make regular visits to at least one of those specialists). But for the sake of standardization, we defined “doctor” as a licensed medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO).
I am a doctor and my specialty doesn’t
appear on your list. Why not?
We chose the list of specialties primarily from those certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties, in consultation with Dr. John Evans, president of the Medical Society of Metropolitan Portland. They are the ones most commonly used by patients. Space considerations also prevent us from publishing every specialty selected.
Can doctors pay to be on the list?
Absolutely not. Our top doctors are chosen based on the number of nominations they receive from the physicians invited to participate in the survey.
But how can you be sure doctors aren’t just voting for their friends?
Well, we can’t. Some bias is inevitable. While we hope that everyone is giving the question thoughtful consideration, we allow each participant one vote to cast however he or she chooses. We hope the large number of respondents (more than 1,000 this year) will eliminate the buddy effect.
If my doctor isn’t on the list, should I be concerned?
Not at all. Many good doctors don’t appear on the list. Doctors working in large hospitals, department heads, and physicians who have been practicing a long time may be better known than doctors in a small or private practice.
Do you check the doctors’ medical licenses?
Yes. Our research department independently verifies that each doctor’s license is active (at press time) and in good standing with the Oregon Medical Board.

I understand that you have limited space in your monthly edition, though I am concerned that you are not recognizing the many other alternative schools in the area. I don’t know what the motivation for the excision is, but if your survey (pg144, Jan 2010) is remotely accurate you should include alternative doctors in your review.
What’s “opthalmology”? I’m familiar with the medical specialty “ophthalmology” but not “op….thalmology.”

Top doctors? Dr. Parker and Theresa Devere? Well as for him, behind that smile is a very shrewd man who can not think out of the box or more likely does not want to.
He covered up a screw up by Dr. Devere 8 years ago as she could not count from 1 to 6, that would be potency thinking 4 is less then 1. 5 years and he never would answer a simple question, WHY? I was offered services after 4 hours of discussion that would take my money and offer treatment but the orders were " we can not talk about what we are treating you for" PEOPLE THEY TRAIN OTHER DOCTORS! OHSU is not here to do the right thing, the first thing is to protect the pocketbook and use the 800 lb gorilla tactic. It works so KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! they are different then the street. No 2 year statute unless you let them know you may sue them. That was my mistake so don’t let it be yours. I am in pain the rest of my life due to these people so this is why after 8 years and 20K I earned the right to say something unless this board is not about free speech.
By the way, this was confirmed by OHSU pain management top dogs. Nerve damage sir and you have been wasting your time with these folks. Now I feel a bit better……
Why do you limit the list on line – there are more than 2 or 3 drs per category in the physical magazine?
What is happening with Tony Carnavale now? and Why? do you review your choices?
are you aware that tony carnavale could not even muster one vote for him out of 48 emergency medicine doctors for chief. do you know that your great “doctor of the year” 2 years running was actually so reviled he was dumped as chief? are you aware of the mistake you made?
Found this mag at hair salon. Just happened to list best docs or 2010. My doc is top ten!
Also enjoyed the whole mag and decided to subscribe.
do doctors who have “advertisements” in the Top Doc issue,considered one of your Top Docs? I recently visited a doctors office who had a framed photo of her “ad” with the Logo from your mag." TOP DOCTORS 2011 " as if she was one of the docs who was voted a top doc……very misleading!
