When you feel sick, suffer an injury, or receive a diagnosis that will require specialty care, you want the best doctors to help restore your good health. Finding those outstanding practitioners can be a daunting task, but every year, Palm Springs Life makes it a bit easier with its annual list of the top doctors in the Coachella Valley.
The magazine partners with Castle Connolly, a healthcare research and information company founded in 1991 by a former medical college board chairman and president, to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and top hospitals.
Castle Connolly’s nomination, research, screening, and selection processes involve hundreds of thousands of physicians as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional and community hospitals all across the nation.
The firm’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous process to screening and select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nominations process — visit castleconnolly.com/nominations — is open to all licensed physicians 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 or the nation in their medical specialty.
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: They identify the top doctors in the United States and provide us 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 as Castle Connolly Top Doctors.
Physicians selected for inclusion in this feature may also appear as regional Top Doctors online at castleconnolly.com, or in one of Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors™ guides, such as America’s Top Doctors® and America’s Top Doctors® for Cancer.
Be well.
