Connecticut Magazine partners with the national research firm Castle Connolly to distribute surveys to every licensed practicing physician in the state. Ranking is based on a regional peer-review survey. The physicians are asked to nominate specialists who they would recommend to friends and family for treatment. Those receiving the most nominations are named as the top doctors and represent leading physicians in their respective specialties.

The annual list of Top Doctors can be found in Connecticut Magazine’s June 2021 issue.
