Destin doctor selected as “Houston Top Doc” and “Texas Super Doctor”

James R. Patrinely, MD FACS was named a “Texas Super Doctor” by “Texas Monthly” magazine. Doctors were selected through a poll of 38,000 medical professionals who were asked one question: “If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?”

In addition, “H Texas” magazine honored Patrinely as one of “Houston’s Top Docs for 2009.” The designation was compiled through a combination of peer voting and reader nominations and represents the top 2 percent of doctors in the Greater Houston area.
