"Our practice has among the most physicians on the "Top Doctors" list of any across the entire metro New York region," said Michael H. Brisman, M.D., F.A.C.S, CEO, Neurological Surgery, P.C. "This helps confirm that our patients get the best specialized care available anywhere."
Castle Connolly bases its “Top Doctors” selections on peer nominations. All licensed physicians are invited to participate in this online process. Castle Connolly directly contacts more than 50,000 physicians and health care executives nationwide in order to solicit these nominations.

Physicians can nominate other doctors they feel are the most outstanding in their medical specialties, in any area of medicine and any part of the country, indicating also whether they believe the physician is among the best in the region or the best in the nation. A physician can not nominate him/herself.

The Castle Connolly physician-led research team makes tens of thousands of phone calls each year, talking with leading specialists, chairs of clinical departments and vice presidents of medical affairs, seeking to gather further information regarding the top specialists for most diseases and procedures. Each year, Castle Connolly receives nearly 100,000 nominations via this process. The credentials of every physician considered for inclusion are also carefully reviewed.
