“We are incredibly proud to see so many of our physicians recognized by Castle Connolly for the life-changing work they do every day,” says Dr. Marcos Mestre, senior vice president and chief clinical operations officer for Nicklaus Children's Health System. “Being the place where children matter most, our physicians are here to provide the very best care to our patients whether it's wellness visits for growing children to more complex cases.”
All Castle Connolly Top Doctors are nominated by their peers, after which the Castle Connolly research team evaluates specific criteria to determine who should qualify as a Top Doctor, including consideration of each nominee’s professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history, interpersonal skills, and outcomes data. The recognition methodology has been vetted and endorsed by the Castle Connolly Medical Advisory Board.
