When it comes to finding a doctor for your child, nothing but the best will do. The latest Castle Connolly Top Doctors list confirms that the best are right here at CHoR.
The 2025 list names 35 CHoR physicians among the top doctors in the United States for pediatric specialty care. For more than 30 years, Castle Connolly has compiled this list to help patients and families find trusted, quality medical care. The physicians named to the list have been nominated by their peers, then thoroughly screened and vetted by the publication’s physician-led research team. They consider professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, reputation and, where available, outcomes data. Interpersonal skills are also an important component as physicians determine who gets their vote(s).
“Physicians from across our array of pediatric subspecialties have once again been nationally recognized for the clinical expertise and compassionate care that make them amazing experts in pediatric medical care,” said Karen Hendricks-Muñoz, interim physician-in-chief at CHoR and one of the top doc honorees. “I’m proud of these outstanding physicians, and all of our colleagues at CHoR, who embody what it means to provide the best care for kids and families when they need it most.”
