Nearly 400 Yale Medicine Physicians Named ‘Top Doctors’

10 Minute Read

Nearly 400 Yale Medicine physicians were cited as “Top Doctors,” according to Connecticut Magazine’s 2026 list, released today.

The yearly list, created with the health research firm Castle Connolly, recognizes top physicians in Connecticut across many specialties as nominated by physician peers.

Castle Connolly researchers review nominees’ hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, and patient outcomes to create a final list representing the top 7% of practicing physicians in the U.S.

“We are grateful to have hundreds of our clinicians honored for their hard work and dedication,” said Margaret McGovern, MD, PhD, CEO, Yale Medicine, deputy dean for Clinical Affairs, Yale School of Medicine, and executive vice president and chief physician officer, Yale New Haven Health System. “Yale Medicine specialists strive to bring the very best in clinical care to each of our patients, every day.”

The full list of Top Doctors for 2026 is available at Castle Connolly and Connecticut Magazine.
