For more than 20 years, UCI Medical Center has been ranked among the nation’s best hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. This is due to the fierce dedication our physicians and staff demonstrate daily to each other, to our patients and to our community.
This survey receives thousands of physician nominations, which are then analyzed and become part of the calculation to establish specialty and hospital rankings in the annual report issued each summer.
Doximity is the exclusive provider of the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals expert opinion physician survey. Physicians must be board-certified and credential-verified members of Doximity to participate in the online survey.
To be eligible for the online Best Hospitals Survey, physicians must meet the qualifications specific to each specialty, including medical licensure, board certification, specialty/subspecialty, and in some instances, Doximity specialty/sub-specialty. View the full eligibility criteria. Physicians may use the eligibility recheck tool to verify eligibility.
When the voting period opens, board-certified physicians with Doximity profiles may receive an email inviting them to cast a vote for a hospital that excels in their specialty.
Registered Doximity members are able to list up to five hospitals in their specialty. “UCI Medical Center” counts as a vote for our organization.
