With a population of approximately 400,000 people, the climate of New Orleans is humid subtropical with short, generally mild winters and hot, humid summers. In January, morning lows average around 43 °F (6 °C), and daily highs around 62 °F (17 °C). In July, lows average 74 °F (23 °C), and highs average 91 °F (33 °C).

  • The Best Doctors in New Orleans 599 Doctors in 78 Specialties in the Greater New Orleans Area
    Send to printer Close window The Best Doctors in New Orleans 599 Doctors in 78 Specialties in the Greater New Orleans Area GREG MILES PHOTOGRAPH Q&A There is nothing that we do that we take as seriously as presenting our readers with a list of recommended doctors. This is one area where we never want to be wrong. We know there’s no perfect way to determine the city’s best physicians, but we use a service that we feel is as good as possible. Before you make any decision about physicians based on this list, please be aware of the following: How were the Best Doctors selected? We partner with Best Doctors, Inc., a global health company headquartered in Boston, which serves more than 30 million members in every major region of the world, and works with the best five percent of doctors practicing in the United States to find the right diagnoses and treatment plans. Best Doctors surveys doctors nationwide, asking them for an assessment of the clinical abilities of their peers, and yielding highly qualitative insight into the medical profession. Each physician’s credentials and disciplinary actions are checked as well as their clinical activity. The Best Doctors in America® database includes doctors in 45 specialties and more than 400 subspecialties of medicine. www.myneworleans.com/core/pagetools.php?pageid=19461&url=%2FNew-Orleans-Magazine%2FAugust-2013%2FNew-Orleans-Best-Doctors%2F&mode=print 1/74 What question is asked of the doctors who are interviewed? Best Doctors contacts each doctor on the previous list and asks the same question: “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, and you couldn’t treat them yourself, to whom would you refer them?” Do doctors get a chance to respond to other names recommended? Every doctor has the opportunity both to comment (confidentially) on the other doctors included in his or her specialty, and related specialties, and to make additional nominations.
