Thank you, U. S. News & World Report
Three Renal Specialists of Houston (RSH) physicians have been named to U.S. News' Top Nephrologist list:           • Whitson (Pete) Etheridge, MD
          • Henry Muniz, MD
          • Katherine Timmons, MD
The highly selective list of America's Top Doctors includes 108 nephrologists, from across the nation who have achieved national recognition for outstanding work. They were selected from 619 nephrologists on the list of U.S. News Top Doctors based on a peer nomination process.
The U.S. News Top Doctors list is developed in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., publisher of America's Top Doctors® and other guides. The goals are twofold: to help consumers find doctors who best address their needs and to enlist doctors in sharing their awareness of respected peers. Physicians do not apply, nor do they pay, to be named to the list.
Thank you, U.S. News & World Report, for recognizing Renal Specialists of Houston physicians. We congratulate them and thank them for the care they provide for our patients.
