MIDDLEBURY — The company Scholar GPS recently named Middlebury’s Dr. Andrew Haig as a “Top Scholar,” noting that his 197 scientific publications received a very high “H-rating” for their influence on other scientists and scholars, and scoring him in the top half-of-1% of all academics in the world.  Dr. Haig was rated top 10 in the world in his research area of spinal stenosis — a back pain problem common in older people.

Professor emeritus at the University of Michigan with academic appointments at the University of Vermont, Dartmouth College and the Medical College of Wisconsin, Dr. Haig also leads the not-for-profit International Rehabilitation Forum in its mission of building medical rehabilitation in low-resource countries around the world.  That volunteer work has garnered the advocacy awards from the American and global societies in his field.

Haig Physical Medicine PLC, his practice in Middlebury, serves Vermonters with his expertise in diagnosing and treating nerve disorders, spinal disorders and work disabling conditions.
