Naples Orthopaedic Surgeon Chosen as One of the "Best Doctors in America" for 2009-2010 Survey

Naples, FL, August 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Robert J. Zehr, of the Zehr Center for Orthopaedics in Naples, FL, has once again been chosen as one of the Best Doctors in America for 2009-2010. The survey, conducted by Best Doctors, Inc. is the largest, continuous, peer-to-peer survey of the medical profession ever conducted. Best Doctors has developed a proprietary database of 50,000 expert physicians.

By harnessing the world-class medical expertise of the physicians in the database, Best Doctors brings the clinical knowledge of experts to the problems of people with serious medical conditions and injuries. No other organization brings to bear the significant medical expertise that has been built into this program.

This independent survey asks expert doctors questions like, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?” It helps to identify specialists who are considered by fellow physicians to be the most skilled in their fields and most qualified for reviewing and treating complex medical conditions. Only 5% of the doctors in any country are actually selected to become Best Doctors.

This is the third time in the past 10 years Dr. Zehr has earned this recognition from his fellow physicians and highlights his experience, skill and leadership in innovation as among the very best in America. Few surgeons have ever achieved this award once, much less three times in their career.

Dr. Zehr is the founder of The Zehr Center for Orthopaedics and a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with over 20 years of orthopaedic experience in complex joint reconstruction and rehabilitation. He specializes in hip, knee and shoulder replacement surgery, complex revision joint surgery, shoulder reconstruction, arthroscopy and skeletal tumor and trauma reconstruction. Dr. Zehr’s past posts include Head of Orthopaedic Oncology for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and Chief of Staff and Head of Orthopaedic Surgery at Cleveland Clinic Florida Naples. He has written extensively on skeletal reconstruction and has spoken across the U.S. and world-wide.
