New York Magazine Best Doctors Jun 5, 2011
Dr. Kamelhar was awarded Top Doctors: New York Metro Area award, which lists those whom Castle Connolly has determined to be in the top 10 percent of the region’s physicians—more than 6,000 in all. For the past fourteen years, Castle Connolly has been providing New York Magazine with a shorter version of this list for the magazine’s “Best Doctors” issue. Dr. Kamelhar made it on this list as well.
This is an honor for Dr. Kamelhar as it is based mostly on recognition from other colleagues. The best of the best, this shows just how much experience Dr. Kamelhar has.
