14 OrthoNeuro Physicians Named to Castle Connolly’s 2025 Top Doctors List
OrthoNeuro is proud to announce that fourteen of our physicians have been recognized as Castle Connolly Top Doctors for 2025. This national honor highlights physicians who are regarded by their peers as the best in their field.
This distinction reflects each doctor’s exceptional clinical expertise, commitment to patient care, and leadership in the medical community. We are thrilled to celebrate this achievement with our team and the patients who entrust us with their care.
What Is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor?
The Castle Connolly Top Doctors® list is one of the most respected physician-rating systems in the country. Unlike many recognition programs, physicians cannot pay to be included. Instead, doctors are nominated by their peers and undergo a rigorous evaluation process conducted by a physician-led research team.
Selection criteria include:
- Board certification and medical education
- Hospital appointments and professional achievements
- Research and leadership roles
- Quality of care and outcomes
- Disciplinary and malpractice history
Only a small percentage of physicians nationwide are named to this elite list annually.
