Each year, Connecticut Magazine honors leading physicians across dozens of specialties statewide, based on an impartial peer-review process\u2014meaning these are the doctors other doctors trust and recommend.<\/p>\n
To compile the list, the magazine partners with Castle Connolly,<\/a> a nationally respected health care research firm. Castle Connolly\u2019s annual list highlights the top 7% of practicing physicians in the U.S., all nominated by their peers. Its rigorous selection process, led by a team of physicians, ensures that doctors are recognized solely for their clinical excellence, never through payment or sponsorship.<\/p>\n Over 50 UConn Health physicians have been recognized on the 2025 Connecticut Magazine \u201cTop Doctors\u201d list.\u00a0 The full list appears in the May 2025 issue of Connecticut Magazine.
