It may depend on the field of medicine. In my wife's case there were 2 surgeons at Brigham and Women's in Boston in the field she needed, one spent a lot of time writing and was "well published', the one we chose spent more time in the OR and teaching. Given the outcome we know we made the right choice.

YMMV
