You'd more likely hear:
He's the best cosmetic surgeon/psychiatrist/general practitioner/orthopedic surgeon/sports physician/etc. in Beverly Hills. (In this type of sentence the specialty would be specified.)

Thank you. Yes, I think so too. Is that because of 'in the whole of', which sounds a bit awkward to me?

Anonymous Is that because of 'in the whole of', which sounds a bit awkward to me?Yes. And I see no advantage in indicating the specialty. 'He's the best doctor in..' is fine and more common for most of us.
