Methodology

The Boston Magazine 2024 Top Doctors guide is based on research conducted by Castle Connolly as a part of Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors 2024 list. Therefore, discrepancies may exist. The list was developed based on peer-nomination of board-certified U.S.-based physicians and Castle Connolly’s review of nominee’s qualifications, appointments, outcomes, and reputation, among other factors.
