Castle Connolly Top Doctors at University
of Colorado Hospital

Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. (CCML) is a nationally-recognized company dedicated to helping consumers find the best healthcare available. To that end, CCML publishes America ’s Top Doctors , an annual guide to the best doctors in the nation.

Among the physician criteria evaluated for inclusion in the guide:

• Education
• Professional qualifications
• Board certification
• Residency
• Fellowships
• Hospital appointments
• Professional reputation

A rigorous selection process

To get a list of nominees for its "top doctors" list, Castle Connolly sends nomination instructions to a pool of randomly selected doctors, who then nominate peers they consider to be clinically outstanding. Added to the nominee list are physicians recommended by hospital administrators.

A CCML physician-led research staff reviews lists of nominated doctors in different regions of the U.S., and then validates and verifies credentials. Each physician appearing on the preliminary lists is asked to complete and submit to CCML a comprehensive biography, which is also reviewed as a criterium. Finally, researchers cross-reference preliminary lists against multiple databases that include board certification, licensing, and disciplinary history.
