Rhode Island Monthly asked Rhode Island licensed MDs and DOs to vote for doctors they would trust to to care for their family and friends in a range of specialties . Rhode Island Monthly contracted DataJoe Research to conduct the survey using an online ballot for collecting , vetting and tallying the votes . Any doctor who has been disciplined for an infraction by the state regulatory board was excluded from the results . Finally , DataJoe presented the tallied results to RIM for final review and adjustments . Rhode Island Monthly narrowed the list to doctors in the top 16 percent of vote-getters who received at least nine votes in each category . Doctors ’ hospital affiliations are provided for use as a point of contact and were provided by their staff or via health websites . Research assistance by Gabriella Boretti and Katherine Plotas . �
