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.
“While Boca Regional’s entire medical staff is known for its
clinical excellence, we salute these 42 physicians for such a noteworthy
recognition,” said Jerry J. Fedele, President and Chief Executive
Officer at Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
