Marin Magazine conducted a 2015 survey that has resulted in this [415] Top Doctors list — top physicians practicing in San Francisco and Marin counties who received multiple independent recommendations from their peers. The list was rechecked again this year. The survey process started with a list of more than 4,000 licensed doctors across all specialties in both counties. All doctors on this list were both candidates and eligible voters in the peer-to-peer voting poll. Doctors were allowed to cast an unlimited number of votes across all specialties — they could vote for as many doctors as they wanted regardless of specific area of expertise — but they could only vote for the same doctor once.

Marin General Hospital is one of the main stroke centers in Marin county. We have a very aging population with stroke risk factors. We are diamond certified for our care of patients admitted to MGH. We take care of acute stroke patients by giving them TPA, admitting them for the full work up by doing MRI, echo and risk management. Then we refer them to rehab hospitals and follow up after their discharges till their fulll recovery. We have a close relationship with paramedic services, stroke awareness centers and provide all the information to our patients before they get discharged.
