Drs. Scott Lampert, Michael S. Jacobson, and Jay Stallman Recognized as Atlanta’s Best Ophthalmologists
Three Georgia Retina ophthalmologists — Drs. Scott Lampert, Michael S. Jacobson, and Jay Stallman — were recently named Atlanta’s Top Doctors by Castle Connolly, the healthcare research company that compiles Atlanta magazine’s annual Top Doctors list. Drs. Lampert and Jacobson also appeared on the Atlanta magazine list, published in the July issue.
Dr. Lampert said the prestigious lists mean a great deal to him personally and to the practice as a whole. “All of our ophthalmologists strive to provide the best possible care to our patients, and it’s fulfilling to be recognized by our peers,” he said.
Dr. Jacobson said, “The Top Doctor list is among the most highly regarded listings in our region, and I’m honored to be selected.”
Dr. Stallman said he’s in great company. “Castle Connolly’s Top Doctor list is very respected, and I’m grateful to be included,” he said.
