NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Dr. James A. Betti, son of Lois Betti and the late David Betti, born and raised in North Adams, was recognized in the April issue of the New Hampshire magazine as one of the top four urologist in the state of New Hampshire.  

The selection process was completed by Castle Connolly Medical LTD, a health care research and information company founded in 1991 by a former medical College Board chairman and president to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and hospitals. Licensed physicians are invited to nominate colleagues from any medical specialty through an on-line process.  

"I am so very pleased to be recognized by my peers," Betti said. "It is such a great honor."

Betti joined the Lahey Institute of Urology at Portsmouth in 2010, where he is currently practicing. His special interests include general urology, laser treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and stone therapy.

Betti is board-certified by the American Board of Urology and was educated at Drury High School, then graduated from Williams College. Following graduate school at UMass Amherst, he graduated from Dartmouth Medical School in 1985, completed his internship Albany Medical Center (General Surgery), Albany, N.Y., 1985-87, Albany Medical Center (Urology), Albany, NY, 1987-90, Chief Resident: 1989-90.

Castle Connolly's physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels.  The team does a careful screening of doctors educational and professional experience before the final selection is made of among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers.
