Castle Connolly Top Doctors is a publishing organization[1] dealing with healthcare research and information services in the US.[2][3] The organization publishes an annual list of Top Doctors[4] in the United States, recognizing the top 7% of physicians, based on important criteria including professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation and disciplinary history. [5][6]

The Castle Connolly Top Doctor™ selection process is entirely merit-based. Doctors cannot pay to be listed on the Castle Connolly website or in any other lists. Top Doctors must also first be nominated by a peer.

John K Castle and John J Connolly[7] while being the Chairman and President[8] respectively of the board of trustees of the New York Medical College,[9] founded Castle Connolly Medical in 1991.[10][11] Castle Connolly Graduate Medical, a separate organization that publishes books and guidebooks, was established in 1999.[12] A sister organization was established in 2006 with the name Castle Connolly Healthcare Navigation[13], to provide guidance in health and insurance.[14] The sister organization was later merged with Castle Connolly Top Doctors. Everyday Health Group acquired the organization in 2019.[15]

The publisher works in collaboration with different news media and journal publication houses.[16]
