YOUR CHILD’S HEALTH is one of your top concerns. You don’t trust their care to just anyone, but it can be hard to find a physician you can rely on and trust. To that end, we have again partnered with Castle Connolly, which compiles a list of Top Doctors across the United States, to help you in your search. All the physicians in this directory were peer-nominated, screened and deemed by Castle Connolly to be among the best in the region or nation in their medical specialty. (Read the full methodology in “How the List Was Compiled” on Page 37.) The 2021 Top Doctors directory features 155 physicians practicing in 35 specialties. They are listed alphabetically by specialty, then last name. In addition to including all of Castle Connolly’s pediatric practice areas, we also list doctors who possess special expertise related to children, adolescents or pediatric care. All information in the directory was provided by Castle Connolly, which relies on doctors to keep their profiles up to date. Because of the size of the list, we did not independently verify physician information.

HOW THE LIST WAS COMPILED Castle Connolly Top Doctors is a health care research company and the official source for Top Doctors for the past 25 years. Castle Connolly’s established nomination survey, research, screening and selection process, under the direction of an M.D., involves many hundreds of thousands of physicians as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional and community hospitals all across the nation. The online nominations process—located at castleconnolly.com/nominations—is open to all licensed physicians in America, who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physicians are, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Once nominated, Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Careful screening of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers. The result: We identify the top doctors in America and provide you, the consumer, with detailed information about their education, training and special expertise in our paperback guides, national and regional magazine “Top Doctors” features, and online directories.
Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected and profiled as Castle Connolly Top Doctors. Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” feature also appear online at castleconnolly.com, or in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online on other sites and/or in print. Castle Connolly was acquired by Everyday Health Group (EHG), one of the world’s most prominent digital health care companies, in late 2018. EHG, a recognized leader in patient and provider education, attracts an engaged audience of over 53 million health consumers and over 780,000 U.S. practicing physicians and clinicians to its premier health and wellness websites.
