TORRANCE (Dec. 4, 2008) In a statewide survey of medical professionals, 38 physician-scientists from the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA BioMed) are honored for being among Southern California Super Doctors, according to the December issue of Los Angeles magazine.

Key Professional Media, Inc. conducted a survey of more than 30,000 medical professionals to compile the 2008 list of Southern California Super Doctors for Los Angeles magazine. The medical professionals were asked: "If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?" Their answers, along with a review of Southern California physicians' accomplishments and recognitions, produced this year's list of Southern California Super Doctors.

The list includes physicians from 33 different specialties. LA BioMed researchers are represented in many of those specialties, including cardiology, neurology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, internal medicine, nephrology, neurology, oncology, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, psychiatry and urology.

"Congratulations to each of the LA BioMed Super Doctors for this well-deserved honor and recognition," said LA BioMed Interim President and CEO Carole Wagner Vallianos, Esq. "Each of these physician-scientists represents the wealth of expertise and dedication that are the hallmarks of LA BioMed. The institute has an abundance of talent, and it is gratifying to have it recognized by others in the medical profession."
