Americas Top Doctors Castle Connolly's physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Using mail and telephone surveys, and electronic ballots, this team asks physicians and the medical leadership of leading hospitals to identify highly skilled, exceptional doctors. Careful screening of doctors' educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers. Physicians selected for inclusion in PITTSBURGH magazine's "Top Doctors" feature may also appear in Castle Connolly's America's Top Doctors® or America's Top Doctors for Cancer and/or online as Regional Top Doctors. America's Top Doctors® (sixth edition) $29.95 (paperback) is available online or by calling 800/399-DOCS (3627), or at all major bookstores.
