Top Doctors are selected based on nominations by their peers and are reviewed by Castle Connolly’s physician-directed research team. This research team carefully reviews credentials and screens all nominated physicians before selecting those most outstanding to be Top Doctors. Physicians do not and cannot pay to be selected as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. The Castle Connolly organization receives nearly 100,000 nominations annually and only a small percentage of physicians are selected.

The Castle Connolly 2015 Top Doctors of the Coachella Valley are listed in the July issue of Palm Springs Life Magazine.
