Top Doctors - 2015
Welcome to our annual listing of the region’s most outstanding physicians, as nominated by their peers and compiled, vetted and verified by Castle Connolly Medical. The research firm’s extensive process starts with online nominations open to all physicians and includes screening of each doctor’s professional credentials and record.
You’ll also see some of the results of a survey we conducted to gain insight into our top doctors’ lives—their professional triumphs and personal achievements, patient pet peeves and healthy habits and guilty pleasures, along with their thoughts on insurance and evolving medical care.
It’s important to note that the best physician is the one who’s best for you, and that many physicians in Sarasota and Manatee who are not on this list also provide excellent care. Consider this list a starting point in your search for care in a region that’s building a reputation for outstanding medical professionals and facilities.
Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. is a healthcare research and information company founded in 1991 by a former medical college board chairman and president to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and top hospitals. Castle Connolly’s established nomination survey, research, screening and selection process, under the direction of an M.D., involves many hundreds of thousands of physicians as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals and regional and community hospitals all across the nation. Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nominations process—located at www.castleconnolly.com/nominations—is open to all licensed physicians in America, who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physician is, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Careful screening of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers. The result—we identify the top doctors in America and provide you, the consumer, with detailed information about their education, training and special expertise in our paperback guides, national and regional magazine “Top Doctors” features and online directories.
Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected and profiled as Castle Connolly Top Doctors.
Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” feature may also appear as Regional Top Doctors online at www.castleconnolly.com, or in a Castle Connolly Top Doctors® guide, such as America’s Top Doctors® or America’s Top Doctors® for Cancer.
