University of Alabama at Birmingham doctors make up more than half of Alabama physicians named Best Doctors in America 2017-2018, with 350 from the UAB Health System peer-selected to the list. The Department of Urology is especially proud of six physicians that are included in the list.

Congratulations to Dr. Dean Assimos, Dr. James Bryant, Dr. David Joseph, Dr. Peter Kolettis, Dr. Keith Lloyd and Dr. Jeffrey Nix. 

Best Doctors in America recognized UAB doctors from 39 specialties and 179 subspecialties, with the total number of national physicians included reflecting only 4 percent of doctors in America. The only way for a physician to be selected is to be peer-nominated and voted in by current Best Doctors winners.
