It’s not hard to find a doctor. Your insurance company has lists of doctors. Your friends recommend doctors. The internet is full of lists of fully qualified doctors to choose from.
But when you’re looking for a neurosurgeon to take care of your brain, these lists can be overwhelming. How can you sift through them to find a doctor who is one of the very best?
Thankfully, one company does the legwork for you. Every year Castle Connolly reviews nearly 100,000 physician-nominated doctors for its Top Doctor guides. The result is a list of the best doctors nationwide and regionally, nominated by their peers and reviewed by experts.
How does Castle Connolly ensure that these doctors are the best of the best? They start by taking nominations—any doctor can recommend one of her peers, though doctors cannot recommend themselves.
These nominated doctors are then reviewed by Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team. This team carefully reviews every aspect of each nominee’s career, including education, training, board certifications, hospital appointments, professional achievements and disciplinary history, among many other factors.
The result is a list of doctors who exemplify the highest standards of professional achievement and patient care.
