Founded in 1989 by Harvard Medical School
professors, Best Doctors, Inc. is transforming
and improving health care. The global company,
headquartered in Boston, serves more than 30 million
members in every major region of the world. The
company works with the best five percent of doctors
to find the right diagnoses and right treatments, and
seamlessly integrates its services with employers’
other health-related benefits.
More than a traditional second opinion, Best Doctors
delivers a comprehensive evaluation of a patient’s
medical condition – providing value to both patients and
treating physicians. By utilizing Best Doctors, members
have access to the brightest minds in medicine to ensure
the right diagnosis and treatment plan.
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. Using a
polling method and balloting software, that Gallup®
has audited and certified, they gather the insight and
experience of tens of thousands of leading specialists
all over the country, while confirming their credentials
and specific areas of expertise.
The result is the Best Doctors in America® List, which
includes the nation’s most respected specialists and
outstanding primary care physicians in the nation.
These are the doctors that other doctors recognize
as the best in their fields. They cannot pay a fee and
are not paid to be listed and cannot nominate or vote
for themselves. It is a list which is truly unbiased and
respected by the medical profession and patients alike
as the source of top quality medical information.
