Los Angeles is home to many of the nation’s best healthcare practitioners and centers of excellence and this is our annual opportunity to shine a light on some of the finest.

For our Top Doctors profiles this year, we analyzed each of the many nominations received and pulled a few particularly outstanding medical professionals each from a broad array of disciplines of focus: Cardiology; Colon & Rectal; Ear, Nose & Throat; Emergency Medicine; Endocrinology; Family Medicine; Gastroenterology; General Surgery; Infectious Disease; Internal Medicine; Nephrology; Neurology; Obstetrics & Gynecology; Oncology; Ophthalmology; Orthopedics; Pediatrics; Plastic/Reconstructive; Psychology/Behavioral Health; Pulmonology; Radiology; Rheumatology; and Urology. Doctors were selected based on their good standing, reputation, thought leadership and success here in Los Angeles.

Methodology: The professionals featured in these pages did not pay to be included. Their profiles were drawn from nomination materials submitted to the Los Angeles Business Journal. Those selected for inclusion were reviewed by the editorial department and chosen based on a demonstration
of impact made on the profession and on the Los Angeles community.
