U.S. News & World Report "Top Doctors"

Print Page A A A

U.S. News & World Report recently named fifty-two physicians from a variety of medical specialties at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to its Top Doctors List. Twenty-seven of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles physicians listed are listed as being among the top 1% in the nation in his or her specialty.

U.S. News teamed with Castle Connolly, a company that has worked for nearly two decades to identify the nation's top doctors, to build its list. Doctors are selected based on nominations submitted by their peers and reviewed by its physician-led research team. To be considered for inclusion on the list, any doctor may nominate one or more peers, but doctors cannot nominate themselves.
