What is the US News and World Report: Top Doctors?

The following was obtained from the US News and World Report web site, from the Advisory Board Company Daily Brief of 2011 and other sources.

U.S. News & World Report “Top Doctors” in the United States, was originally created in with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. This extensive list features nearly 30,000 peer-nominated physicians across a wide spectrum of specialties found within the United States.

How Are Doctors Chosen?

To nominate doctors, licensed physicians United States can nominate up to 10 other physicians in their specific specialty as well as up to three per-specialty in other specialties. Each nominated physician is then extensively evaluated by a physician-led research team.

The listing was created so interested health care consumer could easily search the final list online by:

  1. Specialty,
  2. Hospital affiliation,
  3. Physician location.

They also can search for top physicians at hospitals featured on U.S. News’ “Best Hospitals” list. According to U.S. News, the “Top Doctors” list was created to

  1. Help consumers identify physicians who best meet their needs
  2. Encourage physicians to recognize their colleagues who are “most worthy of referral.

According to Castle Connolly’s president and CEO, “Given the unsettled future of the delivery and financing of health care and the changing nature of physician practices, it is critical that consumers have trusted sources of high-quality information about both doctors and hospitals.”
