ABOUT THIS LIST Castle Connolly Top Doctors, a health care research company, has been the official source for Top Doctors for over 25 years. The survey, research, screening, and selection process involves many hundreds of thousands of physicians as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional and community hospitals across the nation. The online nominations process, located at nominations.castleconnolly.com, is open to all licensed physicians in the United States. They are able to nominate physicians in any specialty and in any part of the country. Once nominated, Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team follows a rigorous screening process to select Top Doctors who meet the Castle Connolly standards. The research team also identifies Castle Connolly Rising Stars, peer-nominated doctors who meet most of the Top Doctor criteria but are earlier in their career. Careful screening of educational and professional experience is done before final selection is made of physicians most highly regarded by their peers. Castle Connolly identifies the top doctors in America and provides consumers with detailed information about their education, training, and expertise in its online directories and national and regional magazine Top Doctors features. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected. Physicians selected for inclusion in the list on these pages also appear at castleconnolly.com, or in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online or in print.
