UConn Health Doctors Make 2026 Top Doctors List

UConn Health physicians continue to be recognized among the best in the nation, with 60 physicians named to the 2026 "Top Doctors" list published in the May edition of Connecticut Magazine. Representing a wide range of specialties, the honored physicians were selected through a rigorous peer-review process conducted in collaboration with Castle Connolly, a leading independent healthcare research organization.

Doctors are nominated by other physicians, and researchers evaluate factors such as hospital and academic appointments, research activity, professional reputation, and patient outcomes. The final list represents about the top 7% of practicing physicians in the United States.

Congratulations to our Top Docs!
