Only doctors who have received top scores by their patients and pass other quality measures are awarded the Patients' Choice Award. In fact, of the nation's 720,000 active physicians, just 5 percent were accorded this honor in 2011.

Every month, millions of patients across the U.S. access websites like Vitals (http://www.vitals.com) to share feedback about their experiences with their doctors. Patients rate various components of the care they receive, such as the accuracy of their diagnosis, the amount of time they spent with the doctor, and the doctor's bedside manner and follow-up care. Patients' Choice ranks the top reviewed physicians and looks at other quality measures to compile its yearly list.

Dr. Valerie Baker/Stanford Fertility and Reproductive Medicine Center commented on the recognition: "This is quite an honor for me. I am very pleased to have been selected and grateful to my patients who went out of their way to rate me and give me positive reviews."

About Dr. Valerie Baker/Stanford Fertility and Reproductive Medicine Center: a short profile by and about the honoree:

I believe that it is critically important to carefully review each person's individual situation so that we can provide the care that will give the best chance of having a healthy baby. Although I strive to provide clear recommendations about evaluation and treatment, I also provide information about available choices so that people can have input into making the decisions that are right for them. It is also very important to me that each person going through the challenge of infertility feel supported emotionally throughout the process.
