Recently the New York Times published the highly awaited list of Super Doctors and Rising Stars in medicine. The list is composed of a roster of outstanding physicians from more than 40 specialties, recognized nation-wide for their achievements or a high degree of admiration from their peers.
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center’s ophthalmologists, Dr. Jonathan Kruh and Dr. Nicolas Biro earned two coveted spots on the Rising Stars list. To gain a place on the list is no easy task as candidates have to endure a rigorous, multi-step process to be selected. Some of the characteristics that gain physicians this recognition are: professional activities, academic achievements, hospital appointment and prior honors. After a thorough blue-ribbon panel review only 2.5 percent of physicians in each state are selected.
Dr. Nicolas Biro recently joined the Jamaica Hospital family and is fellowship trained in oculoplastics and neuro-ophthalmology. Dr. Jonathan Kruh, a graduate of our ophthalmology program is a core member of our faculty and clinical director. He is fellowship trained in cornea refractive surgery and uveitis.
As said best by Dr. Cono Grasso, Chairman of Ophthalmology “We are very of proud of our rising stars.” On behalf of Jamaica Hospital Medical Center- we offer our congratulations to doctors Biro and Kruh on this outstanding achievement.
