Since 1991 Castle Connolly has been the nation’s official source for identifying Top Doctors, relying on referrals from other physicians. Castle Connolly Top Doctors are evaluated on several criteria—one of which is years in practice. Our research team firmly believes in the value of experience as critical for this elite designation.
Every year, we receive thousands of nominations for outstanding and qualified doctors who have distinguished themselves, but do not have enough years in practice to be a Top Doctor. The Castle Connolly team is excited to start recognizing these best-in-class doctors with our new Rising Stars recognition.
