Two staff physicians at the Roy L. Schnieder Hospital have been singled out for superior performance, Eugene A. Woods, hospital Chief Executive Officer announced Monday.
Recognized as one of the "best doctors in America," Dr. Margaret Sprauve, who specializes in high-risk deliveries, was commended by Best Doctors, Inc. Worldwide Healthcare Services for her "superior clinical abilities."
Dr Ruth Watson, medical director of the hospital staff, was recently re-certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Watson is also certified in internal medicine.
"These physicians are examples of why the community can have confidence in the quality of medical care the hospital provides," said Woods. He said in part that "these physicians' credentials would be recognized anywhere as evidence of highest caliber performance."
Woods also announced a new addition to the hospital staff. Board Certified Urologist, Dr. John Franklin, will join the staff Feb. 7. Franklin recently worked at the Harlem Hospital Center in New York.
