San Diego (Solana Beach), CA (PR NewsWire) July 9, 2012– A select few physicians were honored with the prestigious 2011 Patients’ Choice Award, and this year they include Dr. Melanie Palm. This is Dr. Palm’s second consecutive year in receiving this award, which highlights some of the most respected physicians in San Diego, California, and the U.S.

Only doctors who have received top scores by their patients and pass other quality measures are awarded the Patients’ Choice Award. In fact, of the nation’s 720,000 active physicians, just 5 percent were accorded this honor in 2011.
Every month, millions of patients across the U.S. access websites like Vitals (http://www.vitals.com) to share feedback about their experiences with their doctors. Patients rate various components of the care they receive, such as the accuracy of their diagnosis, the amount of time they spent with the doctor, and the doctor’s bedside manner and follow-up care. Patient’s Choice ranks the top reviewed physicians and looks at other quality measures to compile its yearly list.
Dr. Melanie Palm commented on the recognition: “This is quite an honor for me. I am very pleased to have been selected and grateful to my patients who went out of their way to rate me and give me positive reviews.”
