About Castle Connolly

Castle Connolly is a trusted and credible health care research and information company with over 30 years of experience researching, reviewing, and selecting best-in-class health care providers and institutions. Our mission is to help people find the best health care by connecting patients with top-tier providers. Castle Connolly employs a rigorous, physician-led team of researchers to select top health care professionals on both the national and regional levels.

The Top Doctor selection process is based on peer-to-peer nominations, open to all licensed physicians in the United States, allowing them to nominate peers in any specialty and region. The research team then thoroughly vets each nominee’s professional qualifications, including: education, professional reputation, research leadership, hospital and faculty appointments, disciplinary history, and outcomes data. Interpersonal skills such as listening, communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence are also considered.

The Castle Connolly Doctor Directory is the nation’s largest network of peer-nominated physicians. For more information, please visit castleconnolly.com.
