Over 200 Yale Medicine Physicians Make 2019 ‘Best Doctors’ List

June 14, 2019

Connecticut Magazine’s 2019 “Best Doctors” list includes 217 Yale Medicine physicians in 50 specialties who were selected by their peers as the best in their fields. The complete “Best Doctors” list appears in the June 2019 issue of Connecticut Magazine and on the Connecticut Magazine website.

The magazine partnered with the health care organization Best Doctors to compile the annual list of the state’s top physicians. According to Connecticut Magazine, "Best Doctors’ team of researchers conducts a biennial poll using the methodology that mimics the informal peer-to-peer process doctors themselves use to identify the right specialists for their patients."

The result is "The Best Doctors in America" list. In Connecticut, Best Doctors and Connecticut Magazine recognized 782 physicians in 78 specialties. Congratulations to all the Yale Medicine doctors who made the list!

Below are the Yale Medicine physicians on the 2019 “Best Doctors” List. For more information on an individual physician, click his or her name under “Related People" on the left.
