Hour Detroit Celebrates the 2006 Top Docs 
 
  The October issue of Hour Detroit magazine, hitting newsstands Oct. 2, reveals the highly anticipated results of the sixth annual Top Docs survey, naming the best doctors and hospitals in metro Detroit. The doctors recognized in the annual bestseller — and biggest issue ever — will be celebrated in an hour-long special on WDIV Local 4 and at a private event at the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
 
Hour Detroit asked nearly 6,000 medical professionals to name metro Detroit’s best doctors in more than 70 specialties, and to select the best hospitals for 17 areas of treatment. The survey results are paired with seven stories of medical miracles, including a pre-birth fetal surgery and cutting-edge hypothermia therapy performed by members of the Detroit medical community.
 
At 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, the Local 4 & Hour Detroit Top Docs & Medical Miracles one-hour special will bring the pages of Hour Detroit’s October issue to life.
 
The Local 4 & Hour Detroit Top Docs & Medical Miracles program will introduce you to the people and technology that make medical miracles a reality in our region. Join us to hear the stories of metro Detroit's doctors who are saving — and changing — lives every day.
 
A private celebration to honor those doctors who made the list of Hour Detroit’s 2006 Top Docs will be held from 7-10 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
