NAPLES, Fla. (December 6, 2022) — Three of Seaside Surgery Center’s physician-partners have been named to the prestigious Castle Connolly Top Doctors list.

Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. identifies top doctors in America and provides consumers with detailed information about their education, training, and special expertise in printed guides and online directories. It is important to note that doctors do not and cannot pay to be included in any Castle Connolly guide or online directory.
The exhaustive process of naming a Castle Connolly Top Doctor begins with thousands of interviews. Because the Castle Connolly honors are determined by their peers, surveys are sent to physicians and healthcare professionals. In addition to mail and online surveys, the Castle Connolly physician-led research team makes thousands of phone calls each year, talking with leading specialists, chairs of clinical departments and vice presidents of medical affairs, seeking to identify top specialists for most diseases and procedures.
