Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors: New York Metro Area, 16th Edition Castle Connolly's Top Doctors™ selection process begins with surveys of physicians and healthcare professionals. Each year, Castle Connolly surveys thousands of physicians and other healthcare professionals and asks them to identify excellent doctors in every specialty in their region and throughout the nation. When we began the research for the first edition of America's Top Doctors®, we surveyed over 230,000 of the nation's leading medical specialists, department chairs, residency program directors, vice presidents of medical affairs and presidents of the nation's leading medical centers and specialty hospitals. In addition to mail and online surveys, the Castle Connolly physician-led research team makes thousands of phone calls each year, talking with leading specialists, chairs of clinical departments and vice presidents of medical affairs, seeking to identify top specialists for most diseases and procedures. Building on years of prior research, thousands of top doctors included in earlier editions of our guides are invited to offer their nominations for Castle Connolly America's Top Doctors®. Beginning in 2011, and moving forward, the nomination process invited every licensed MD and DO across the country to participate. This involved contacting over 50,000 physicians and healthcare executives, a nationwide distribution of nomination notifications via various media channels and partnering with US News and World Report as a means of expanding our process to physicians across the country. more

Pre-surgery, Doc and staff kept me calm and relaxed. Surgery was about 15 minutes from entering to exiting the room. 10 minutes in the chair. Once the anesthetic eye drops wore off (about 20-30 minutes post-op), I started feeling moderate burning and itching. One hour later, it merely felt like I had dry contacts in. ONE HOUR!!! THATS IT!! Now, it is the next morning, and I am better than 20/20 according to Doc. The "halo" effect is minimal, and I am ready for work, Thanks Doc!!! more
