All doctors featured by TheTopDocs.US have been peer-nominated and selected by some of the nation's leading providers of information on Top Doctors. These sources follow stringent standards when choosing the physicians they name as Top Doctors in their field. A physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select Top Doctors through their established peer-based nomination surveys.
The nominating process involves a strict multi-step system. Doctors cannot nominate themselves, nor can they pay to be awarded Top Doctor status. Once nominations are collected, each doctor’s medical education, training, board certifications, hospital appointments, administrative posts, professional achievements, malpractice, and disciplinary history are reviewed before they can even qualify to be a Top Doctor.
