Bascom Palmer Ranked No. 1 Eye Hospital Again

For the seventh year in a row, the University of Miami’s Bascom Palmer Eye Institute has been ranked the leading hospital in the country for ophthalmology in U.S.News & World Report’s 2010-11 Best Hospitals annual survey. Three other specialties at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center were also ranked as among the nation’s best.

“We are honored to receive this prestigious recognition, especially since our patients share in this special accolade,” said Eduardo C. Alfonso, M.D., professor and chairman of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. “At Bascom Palmer, we provide the best clinical care possible thanks to the expertise and compassion of our 1,200 ophthalmologists, vision researchers, nurses, ophthalmic technicians, and outstanding support staff.”

The three other University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center programs that joined Bascom Palmer in the rankings are neurology and neurosurgery, ranked 29; ear, nose and throat, ranked 30; and kidney disorders, ranked 49.
