Expand each profile card to explore that physician's work, education, and areas of specialization. The Boston Magazine 2025 Top Doctors list is based on research conducted by Castle Connolly as part of [Castle Connolly's Top Doctors 2025](https://www.castleconnolly.com/) list. Discrepancies between these two lists may exist. The list was developed based on peer nomination of board-certified U.S.-based physicians and Castle Connolly's review of nominees' qualifications, appointments, outcomes, and reputation, among other factors. ### Anesthesiology ### R.
