A thriving arts district, James Beard–recognized culinary scene, and the cultural energy of the University of Arizona give Tucson a depth and vibrancy that surprises most newcomers. With top-rated schools, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a genuine sense of community, Tucson is a place where physicians put down roots — and stay.
