I like to go to US News also to see who the best hospitals are, and see where they rank in the nation, in each category. A place that's ranks high in cancer lets say, may not be as high in ENT, or other specialties, but if they are in the top 50 for any specialty out of 7000 hospitals, they are very good anyway, and especially those on the "Honor Roll" being in the top 50 for 16 or more specialties. Thankfully I live where I have many to choose from.
Surprisngly, MSKCC is number 2 for cancer, but ranks 39 now in ENT, and one of the reasons I went to Mt. Sinai originally in 2009, which is now #11 in ENT. Md Anderson is #1 in cancer and #5 in ENT. John Hopkins is #1 for ENT, but there are other factoirs to consider, but this is one listing, but an important one many go by, including the hospitals bragging rights.
Then again, I chose to go where a top doctor was I looked into for my last treatmant, even if it wwasnt a top ranked hospital.
