Exploring healthy living in St. Louis

April 2010

St. Louis is a city of medicine and boasts two first-rate medical schools, Saint Louis University and Washington University. These schools and programs can be credited for the excellent and extensive health care options that St. Louis has to offer. Every year, area hospitals are ranked among the nation’s best in publications, such as U.S. News & World Report, for their excellence in highly specialized fields. Residents of the Greater St. Louis area have a variety of options when it comes to heath care. 

 

Washington University Physicians
Washington University Physicians are the specialist doctors of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. They work with your primary physician in diagnosing and treating the full range of conditions that affect both children and adults. Many people prefer to choose their own specialists, such as a dermatologist, gynecologist, sleep specialist, allergist or ear, nose and throat specialist. Others rely on their pediatricians or primary physicians’ referrals for cardiology, neurology or childhood disorders, for example. It is reassuring that Washington University Physicians are listed by doctor-rated surveys, such as America’s Top Doctors and Best Doctors in America, more frequently than any other group in the Midwest. Most patients are seen at the Center for Advanced Medicine, the main location at Kingshighway and I-64/40. Another convenient location is at I-270 and Olive Blvd. in West County.
