Headlines from the Marin, California Independent Journal

Dr. Horace Newhard among 16 Doctors praised by magazine. The winter/spring 2006 issue of Bay Area Consumers’ Checkbook
magazine … singles out 16 of Marin’s primarycare physicians for their popularity among the magazine’s readership. The semi-annual magazine is published by the Oakland-based nonprofit Center for the Study of Services. Its new list of top doctors is based on responses to an annual readers’ survey. Checkbook readers throughout the Bay Area were asked to rate their personal physicians in a number of performance categories. “The physicians that received above-average scores on the survey compared to all other physicians in the Bay Area, not just in Marin County, are included on this table,” said the magazine’s managing editor, Kevin Brasler.
