HOW THEY'RE CHOSEN

Castle Connolly's physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Using mail and telephone surveys, and electronic ballots, they ask physicians and the medical leadership of leading hospitals to identify highly skilled, exceptional doctors. Careful screening of doctors' educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers.

Note: Anesthesiologists (except those with additional ABMS board certification in pain management), emergency medicine physicians and pathologists are not included in this collection.
