The U.S. News & World Report Top Doctors issue was developed in collaboration with Castle Connelly, a New York City-based company that has worked for nearly 2 decades to identify the nation’s top doctors. Castle Connolly bases its Top Doctors selections on nominations submitted by other doctors and then reviewed by its physician-led research panel.
