Hopkins Urology--Number One

In April 1990, U.S. News & World Report published a survey of the best hospitals and best departments within hospitals in the United States. The magazine contacted 30 experts in 12 different fields and asked them to list, in no particular order, the 10 leading hospitals nationwide in his or her own specialty. Hopkins' Department of Urology was listed more ofter (71% of the time) than any other urology department in the country. Moreover, the publication highlighted shock-wave treatment for kidney stones and the Hopkins technique for radical prostatectomy as the two top advances in the field in recent years. Overall, the Johns Hopkins Hospital was mentioned as one of the top hospitals in 10 of the 12 areas studied. I'm please that U.S. News and World Report confirms the decision that you made before coming to us for your care.
