Each year, Connecticut Magazine recognizes exceptional physicians in its annual “Top Doctors” issue. The 2026 list features nearly 400 Yale Medicine physicians who were selected by their peers as the best in their fields, which includes 19 members of the Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation faculty.
The magazine partnered with Castle Connolly, a leading national health care research firm, to compile the annual list of the state’s top physicians. Castle Connolly’s online nominations process is open to all licensed physicians in the United States, who nominate doctors in any medical specialty and in any part of the country. Once nominations have been submitted, Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels.
The complete “Top Doctors” list appears in the May 2026 issue of Connecticut Magazine and in this Yale School of Medicine article.
