UH Physicians Named "Top Doctors" by Cleveland Magazine 2020

Cleveland Magazine’s annual “Top Doctors” issue includes 192 UH and 60 UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s physicians, highlighting clinical excellence across many specialties throughout the health system. Cleveland Magazine partnered with DataJoe to review physicians nominated by their peers for providing high-quality and innovative care. This year’s issue focused editorial content on COVID-19, and all the ways Northeast Ohio doctors have responded to the pandemic. Singled out in the magazine for their innovative work are Ray Onders, MD, Chief of General and Gastrointestinal Surgery at UH; Robert Salata, MD, Physician-in-Chief, UH; and Dan Simon, MD, UH Chief Clinical and Scientific Officer, and President, UH Cleveland Medical Center.
