Unlike other information sources, we work only for consumers. We accept no fees from doctors or hospitals in exchange for a listing in our databases. Since 1992, we have had one purpose and one purpose only: to provide individuals with the quality information they need to find and access the best possible care. Each year we survey tens of thousands of leading specialists worldwide and ask them what doctors they themselves would go to for treatment in their specialty. We process more than one million individual evaluations of doctors by other doctors. Only 30,000 doctors in the United States, about 4% of all U.S. doctors, are selected as outstanding doctors by Best Doctors.
How do we find the Best Doctors?
We don’t. Our Doctors do. Because we believe if you want to find the very best doctors practicing today, you start by asking doctors themselves who they trust. That’s why all of our doctor surveys begin with the question, “Who would you go to, if you or a loved one needed medical care in your specialty?” We pour through almost two million evaluations and review as many as several hundred pertaining to a single doctor. Only those doctors rated the best by other doctors make our list. But we don’t stop there. Those doctors must pass not only review by their peers, but our own, which includes a check for licensing and certification requirements. A Best Doctor must then go through regular evaluations in order to stay a Best Doctor. Our methodology has set the industry standard since we invented it in 1992.”
