METHODOLOGY
TOP DOCTORS
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION is filled with incredible individuals who enter their fields with a genuine desire to help others. We are fortunate to have so many of these compassionate and skilled professionals serving our region. When choosing a medical practitioner for ourselves or our loved ones, we seek empathy, competence, and honesty—qualities that inspire confidence and contribute to our well-being.
One of the most exciting aspects of the medical field is discovering which practitioners have gained the utmost respect from their peers. This is the purpose of our esteemed SRQ Top Doctors | Peer Review program. Through this initiative, we identify the doctors who have received overwhelming support from their colleagues in the medical communities of Greater Sarasota, including Palmetto, Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Venice and North Port, Florida. The Colorado-based team at DataJoe Research facilitates all aspects of the online peer-voting process and conducts background checks through government references. We are honored to share the results of this program. We extend our gratitude to the doctors who participated by contributing their thoughtful nominations. Their insights allow us to provide SRQ Magazine readers with this prestigious guide to the most highly-regarded doctors in the region.
DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the “Top Doctors” list, DataJoe Research facilitated an online peer-voting process, also referencing government sources. DataJoe then tallied the votes per category for each doctor to isolate the top nominees in each category. After collecting nominations and additional information, DataJoe checked and confirmed that each published winner had a current, active license status with the state regulatory board. If we were not able to find evidence of a doctor's current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that doctor was excluded from the list. In addition, any doctor who has been disciplined, up to the time-frame of our review process for an infraction by the state regulatory board, was excluded from the list. Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments.

Heartattackpreventioncenter.com
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE. Having witnessed the erosion of quality care in medicine and a push by corporate and insurance industries toward a one-size-fits-all care model known as "protocol-based care", I knew I could deliver better personal care. So in 2010, I developed our current concierge practice which places the focus on the personal needs of the patient: not the insurance company. Our contract is between the patient and the doctor so we have been able to develop relationships with radiology centers, labs, pharmacies and specialists, etc. which allow much quicker access to service when needed. This is frequently achieved at a much lower price than it would cost through an insurance company without all the typical built-in delays and denials that people have become forced to accept through the traditional medical practice. We turn the standard medical practice of waiting until something is broken upside down by preventing our biggest health threats before they can strike. We actively look for and manage early stages of conditions to prevent diseases that can land you in the hospital which require invasive medical procedures and cost thousands of dollars to treat in an emergency. Our practice has been so successful that it has been at capacity for 8 years now.
WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? We deliver what is now missing from most medical practices and certainly in hospital based care: excellent personal service, prompt appointments, and direct evaluation by your physician: not a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant. We routinely refer to the top medical centers in the US when someone's health depends on it. One of our primary goals is to keep people out of the hospital: and it works. We are focused on teaching people how to achieve and maintain health through lifestyle changes that have been proven to prevent strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer and dementia.

CHAD MARRS, MD
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE. Marrs Ear, Nose, and Throat prides itself on being one of the most recognized, advanced and accessible medical practices in the region. We are on the cutting edge of medical technology with the latest being Inspire, a mask-free treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This innovative device truly gives patients the freedom to pursue their dreams. I am driven by a “patients first” philosophy and desire to listen. I have an exceptional team that provides personal and professional care from the very first phone call through their entire experience. We have a thriving audiology and hearing aid practice sta ed by the best audiologist I have ever worked with, Jennifer Duncan, AuD.
WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? Having grown up in a medical family and then being an advocate for many family members seeking medical care, I truly understand both sides of medicine. In medical school we are taught that the history a patient gives provides us with the best guide to their diagnosis, which is why I reiterate the importance of listening to my patients. I also cannot overstate how important my sta are to my practice because they truly are the backbone of Marrs ENT and many times what my patients rave about the most.
