The Castle Connolly selection process for the Top Doctors listing begins
with peer recognition through surveys that are given out to thousands
of physicians nationwide and other healthcare leaders. They are asked
to identify who they believe are highly skilled, exceptional doctors.
This peer-recommended list is then reviewed by Castle Connolly for standards,
including medical education, training, hospital appointments, professional
achievements and any disciplinary or malpractice history.
“Our commitment to clinical excellence at Boca Regional is evident
throughout the whole medical staff, but these 63 physicians deserve the
added praise that comes with such a notable accolade,” said Jerry
J. Fedele, President and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “It
is strong testimony to the quantity and quality of clinical expertise
we have at the hospital.”
