To make this list, doctors are nominated by their peers and vetted by an independent research firm. They cannot and do not pay to be included.

Health matters. And when you or a loved one are in need of a consultation, treatment, or ongoing medical services, so does quality of care. That’s why we partner with the physician-led research firm Castle Connolly to produce Palm Springs Life’s annual list of the Coachella Valley’s top practitioners.
The 134 individuals recognized here were nominated by fellow licensed physicians. Those nominations were then vetted by Castle Connolly’s team of researchers, who examine doctors’ educational and professional experience to screen and select the crème de la crème on both the national and regional levels. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected.
We recognize that this is just a sliver of the medical talent providing excellent care in Greater Palm Springs. If you’re satisfied with your physicians, stick with them. But if you need a referral for a specialist, consider this a reliable short list for your decision-making process.
About the Research Firm
Castle Connolly invites all licensed physicians in the United States to nominate their peers in any medical specialty and in any part of the country online at castleconnolly.com/nominations. The firm follows a rigorous screening process to identify the top individuals. Those identified here also appear online at castleconnolly.com and in conjunction with other databases.
Founded in 1991, Castle Connolly has been the official source for “Top Doctors” features in national and regional magazines like Palm Springs Life for more than 30 years. It was acquired in 2018 by Everyday Health Group (EHG), a leading digital healthcare company whose mission is to drive better clinical and health outcomes through decision-making informed by highly relevant information, data, and analytics.
EHG empowers providers and patients with trusted content and services delivered through its portfolio of brands, which include Everyday Health, What to Expect, MedPage Today, Health eCareers, Prime Education, and an exclusive partnership with MayoClinic.org. Headquartered in New York City, EHG is a division of Ziff Davis (NASDAQ: ZD).
