We were informed late last week that Dr. Silverman was once again named to the Top Doctors list by Castle Connolly! Moreover, this honor means that Dr. Silverman has been named to the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list for 10 straight years. Dr. Silverman is honored to have been named to the list for the last decade, and he plans to continue that streak in 2024!
According to Castle Connolly’s criteria, making the Top Doctors list puts a physician among the top 7% of doctors in the US. Dr. Silverman is also among the 4.8% of doctors who made the Top Doctors list from Minnesota! You can check out Dr. Silverman’s profile page on Castle Connolly by clicking here, and you’ll also notice he has a badge noting 10 years on their Top Doctors list! Congrats to Dr. Silverman and the team at Silverman Ankle & Foot!
Castle Connolly Top Doctors List
Here is how Castle Connolly works to curate their list of Top Doctors each year:
The first step to becoming a Castle Connolly Top Doctor is through the nomination process. Every year, Castle Connolly surveys tens of thousands of practicing physicians across the US by email and mail to ensure the list always reflects the latest in quality care. After a doctor is nominated, their physician-led research team begins their work to screen each doctor and confirm whether he or she meets Castle Connolly standards.
Castle Connolly evaluates several criteria when selecting Top Doctors, including:
- Professional qualifications
- Education
- Hospital and faculty appointments
- Research leadership
- Professional reputation
- Disciplinary history.
Where available, Castle Connolly includes outcomes data in their research. They also ask doctors in the survey to consider not only the training and clinical skills of the physicians they nominate, but also interpersonal skills such as listening and communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence. Physicians may be removed from the Castle Connolly list if, in the judgment of the selection team, that is warranted.
Doctors cannot pay to be selected as Castle Connolly Top Doctors. Our peer-to-peer nominations and rigorous research process ensure only the most qualified physicians are included. While many other sites may make the same claim, patients and physicians across the country trust that Castle Connolly always stands by this promise. Castle Connolly considers this core to the integrity of our listing and our mission to connect patients with the best care.
So congrats to Dr. Silverman, and thank you to all of our colleagues and patients who made this recognition possible. We strive to provide each and every patient with the highest level of care, and it’s great to see that we’ve been able to achieve this on some level. Thanks again, and we can’t wait to earn our place on the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list again in 2024!
