Spa Coeur d'Alene named one of America's top spas
The Spa Coeur d'Alene has again been named as one of the leading spas in America by Conde Nast Traveler.
In the publication's 2013 Readers' Poll feature, appearing in the March issue, the spa comes in at number 57 of the Top 100 U.S. Resort Spas.
The survey is determined by readers who collectively log a number of visits to each of the properties, then thoroughly report their findings. The Spa Coeur d'Alene earned a score of 92.6 based on service, treatment menu, ambiance and amenities.
The Coeur d'Alene Resort, where the Spa Coeur d'Alene is based, also recently won in the coveted Conde Nast Traveler "Top 40 Resorts in the West" category.
"We sincerely thank the Conde Nast readers for this wonderful recognition," said Berni Campbell, director of the Spa Coeur d'Alene. "Now it's time to get back to what we do best ... taking great care of our guests."

Dr. Daryl MacCarter joins Coeur d'Alene Arthritis Clinic
Dr. Daryl MacCarter has joined Dr. Craig Wiesenhutter at Coeur d'Alene Arthritis Clinic and brings musculoskeletal ultrasound expertise to the clinic.
According to a press release, musculoskeletal ultrasound enables rheumatologists to better diagnose and treat various types of arthritis including tendonitis, bursitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Ultrasound guided injections are safer, more effective and are also associated with less procedure pain.
