ORANGE, Calif. (PRWEB) February 07, 2017 -- Award-winning medical group Allied Anesthesia announced today that Orange County Medical Association (OCMA) chose seven of the group’s anesthesiologists as 2017 Physicians of Excellence.

Last month’s issue is in print and online, and the complete list of doctors is on the Orange County Register’s searchable Physicians of Excellence database.
The OCMA, in partnership with COAST and the Orange County Register, manage the Physicians of Excellence program, which recognizes doctors who have demonstrated leadership in medicine through research and education, and who are have consistently delivered high quality care to patients.

Canton said of the honor, “We’ve had many of our physicians named to the list every year since Allied Anesthesia formed, and every year, this honor continues to remind us how important the physicians’ roles as leader, collaborator, researcher, educator and community member are. We couldn’t be prouder that, again, several of our doctors are being recognized for their excellent performance in these areas of practice. But the greatest part of the Physicians of Excellence honor is that it supports a culture of excellence in the Southern California medical community—it promotes the best quality care for our patients.”
