Each July, Atlanta Magazine recognizes Metro Atlanta physicians. The doctors were selected by the Professional Research Services (PRS).
PRS is a firm in Michigan that conducted online peer-reviewed surveys of all licensed physicians in the metro Atlanta area. Physicians were asked to nominate other physicians.
Those nominations were then screened through verification of licensing before selecting the honorees.
