Client News: Shannon Clinic Physicians Named Super Doctors

Source: Shannon Health Press Release

Three Shannon Clinic physicians were recently named Super Doctors® by Texas Monthly Magazine in its December 2010 issue. Ernest Charlesworth, M.D., Ty Hughston, M.D., and Denver Marsh, M.D. were recognized on the magazine’s annual list of physician specialists “highly recommended by their peers,” according to the magazine. Only five percent of the physicians in Texas were selected.

The list of 2010 Super Doctors was determined by a survey administered by Key Professional Media that polled thousands of medical professionals to nominate one or more doctors, other than themselves, from specified medical specialties based on the question, “If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?” In addition, the list includes other Texas doctors who have achieved special recognition from their peers or have demonstrated other indications of expertise in their specialties.

Dr. Charlesworth, a specialist in allergy and immunology and dermatology, has practiced at Shannon Clinic for eleven years and serves as chairman of the allergy/dermatology department where he combines the practice of both specialties.
