Sarasota Health: Top Doctors
Our exclusive listing of the Sarasota-Manatee doctors most recommended by their peers.
Topnotch physicians come to Sarasota not only because of the quality of life and demographics (older patients with the interest and income to invest in comprehensive healthcare) but because of the quality of the facilities and professionals who will be their peers. In addition to these Top Doctors, Sarasota's medical community includes award-winning hospitals, internationally significant medical research and two forward-thinking medical schools producing the next generation of Top Doctors.
Here we present 182 local doctors who have earned the admiration of their colleagues and, most importantly, the trust of their patients. These are the doctors other doctors look up to, and we're proud to have them in the community looking after us.
Top Doctors FAQ
Where does the list come from? Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a 20-year-old national healthcare research company, identifies top doctors throughout the country and creates national, regional and specialized lists that have been featured in a number of publications, including Money Magazine, Redbook and New York Magazine.
How are doctors chosen? Castle Connolly solicits nominations from a randomly selected group (about 50 percent) of board-certified doctors in the area (in this case, Sarasota and Manatee counties). Those doctors anonymously nominate their peers. They're asked to choose physicians to whom they would send members of their own family and to consider training, clinical skills and interpersonal skills. Physician-led Castle Connolly researchers also supplement nominations by interviewing hospital presidents, chiefs of staff, nursing heads and other leaders in local healthcare. A preliminary list of top doctors finalists is then thoroughly vetted, and their names are checked against a number of databases to confirm board certification, licensing and disciplinary history.
Can doctors buy their way in? No. Doctors do not pay Castle Connolly to be placed on the list, and there is no link between this list and advertisers in Sarasota Health.
Does Sarasota Magazine edit the list? Only to adjust addresses, etc. to fit into our magazine's style. Substantive changes to the list—such as removing a doctor—are rare and only made in consultation with Castle Connolly.
My doctor isn't named by Castle Connolly at all. Does that mean she's a bad doctor? No. Many outstanding doctors are not included on this list. The list represents only those physicians who have been nominated as top doctors by their peers and verified through Castle Connolly's research team. The company continually identifies and adds outstanding doctors to its database. However, Castle Connolly readily admits that it cannot list every excellent doctor practicing medicine today.
