I believe you're referring to Steven Woodward Naifeh and Gregory White
Smith, writers and publishers of "The Best Doctors in America." Their
corporate entity (based upon their middle names) is Woodward/White.
"In 1989, after Smith successfully overcame a diagnosis of 'terminal'
brain cancer, Woodward/White began publishing The Best Doctors in
America, which was featured on the CBS newsmagazine, '60 Minutes' in
1998. Today, Best Doctors is a global medical information service that
helps people around the world find outstanding medical care...
Naifeh and Smith have been the subjects of profiles not only on '60
Minutes' but also in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los
Angeles Times, USA Today, the San Francisco Chronicle, The
International Herald Tribune, Esquire, The New Yorker, and Harvard
Magazine."

"The list of physicians in The Best Doctors in America® is compiled
through what is undoubtedly the largest peer-review based evaluation
of the medical profession ever undertaken. Woodward/White?s objective
is to identify the best-trained, most experienced and most skilled
specialists in the United States, regardless of where they practice.
It is designed to be a current reference work - a picture of the
medical profession at a given moment - not a monument to reputations.
Woodward/White conducts its survey annually. For each survey, it
contacts every doctor on the current list and asks the same question:
'If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty and you
couldn?t treat them yourself, to whom would you refer them?' At the
highest level, every medical specialty is a community of a kind, and
doctors know each other across state and regional lines. This makes
doctors uniquely qualified to objectively judge each other?s clinical
skill."

founded in 1981 by two Harvard Law School graduates, Steven Naifeh and
Gregory White Smith. In addition to Best Lawyers (see
www.bestlawyers.com), Woodward/White also created the original
database for Best Doctors, Inc., the most widely respected doctor
referral service in the United States and 27 other countries (see
www.bestdoctors.com).
Woodward/White's publications have been frequently featured in the
U.S. media, including highly favorable accounts on television programs
including the CBS newsmagazine '60 Minutes,' 'CNN Headline News,' and
'Today,' and in newspapers including the New York Times, USA Today,
Reader's Digest, and the Wall Street Journal."
