Ensuring accessibility to care and education for Southern Arizona residents is at the core of our mission.
We are thrilled to share that over 50% of our physicians have been nominated as Tucson Top Doctors, by Tucson Lifestyle magazine, highlighting our dedication to excellence in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Additionally, our clinical research program is at the forefront of innovation and advancing patient outcomes. Many of our top doctors are principal investigators leading this program, setting the standard for clinical innovation.
Lifestyle magazines across the country partner with Castle Connolly to produce a list of top local doctors for their readers. Tucson Lifestyle is proud to be one of Castle Connolly’s partners in order to provide this compilation of our best of the best in the Old Pueblo.
