St. Louis Dermatologists Named 'Best Doctor In America' By National Organization

    CHESTERFIELD, MO, April 12, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Associates in Dermatology of St. Louis, MO are proud to announce that two of their doctors have recently been selected to appear on the Best Doctor's in America list. Drs. Richard Bell and James Donnelly, Chesterfield and St. Louis dermatologists, were awarded this prestigious distinction by Best Doctor's Inc., a national organization founded in 1989 by physicians associated with Harvard University.

Other physicians who consider them the top in their field nominate doctors that make the list. Nominees must then meet a long list of strict criteria to make the final roster. No one can pay to be on the list and Best Doctor's Inc. does not pay anyone to nominate a doctor. Those who are selected are considered the best of the best.

Associates in Dermatology now has the unique distinction of being the only private St. Louis dermatology practice to have two recipients of the Best Doctor's in America award. Receiving the esteemed acknowledgment humbled Dr. Bell, dermatologist in St. Louis and Chesterfield, stating "I am truly honored to have made the Best Doctor's in America roster. It is reassuring to know that my peers respect my accomplishments enough to have nominated me, and to have made it to the final list is a privilege I won't take for granted".

The popular practice is a full service dermatology office where St. Louis and Chesterfield area patients seek help for various skin disorders, including St. Louis rosacea treatment, eczema treatment, skin cancer screenings in Chesterfield, laser treatment, and even cosmetic procedures such as Juvederm and fillers. They were established in 1991 and have since opened several satellite offices in Missouri as well as one in Illinois.

Like Dr. Bell, Dr. Donnelly, dermatologist in Chesterfield and St. Louis, was equally grateful for the Best Doctors in America accolade and spoke of the importance of such distinctions when choosing a doctor. "I strongly support patient-advocacy groups and believe in the right for people to know all they can about the doctors they are trusting to make important medical decisions. Best Doctor's Inc. is a respected and esteemed organization that has been helping the public find good physicians for decades, and I am sincerely grateful to be a part of their list".
