Castle Connolly Top Doctor

There are over 850,000 practicing doctors in the United States and not all qualify to be a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. Unlike other ‘find a doctor’ services, Castle Connolly has curated approximately 60,000 board-certified US physicians for inclusion in their Top Doctor guide utilizing a combination of peer nominations and assessments. It is their goal to help patients identify the right doctors for their needs and highlight them and their affiliated hospitals.

After a doctor is nominated, Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team begins their work to screen each doctor and confirm whether they meet a strict set of standards. These standards can cover professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, and disciplinary history. Castle Connolly will also ask nominators to consider not only the training and clinical skills of the physicians they nominate, but also interpersonal skills such as listening and communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence.

It is important to note that Castle Connolly does not take payments from doctors to be included on their list.
