So, when consumers peruse the list, they know they are choosing from among the best doctors in primary care or any specialty. Not every doctor reaches the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list: Of the more than 850,000 practicing doctors in the United States, about 60,000 - only 7% - are hand selected each year.

And, once nominated, a doctor can only be included on or added to the list after approval by Castle Connolly’s review board, chief medical officer, chief research officer and research staff. Candidates cannot nominate themselves, nor can a doctor pay to be on the list. That’s because - unlike other physician clearinghouse sites that simply list every physician from a city or regional database, or list only those doctors who pay to be included - each Top Doctor is nominated by peers, then undergoes a rigorous vetting process by an experienced medical review board.
