Summary

America's Top Doctors is essential to every health or reference section. In every community, large or small, there are people who want to find the very best doctors and hospitals to address their critical healthcare needs. Castle Connolly publishes the most trusted sources to find this vital information. A physician-directed research team uses an intensive survey and screening process to locate the nation's top referral specialists. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be included. Additional appendices and indexes allow you to search by name and specialty. "Given the public's natural desire to want the best when the need arises, the directory serves as a starting point, and public libraries will find it useful. It should be provided to patrons along with a suggestion to consult the local medical society, the ABMS directory, and their primary-care physicians,"--Booklist 12/01/2004.
