Dr. Charles K. Herman named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor again

Plastic surgeon Charles K. Herman, M.D., has again been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, extending a recognition streak that began in 2008. The honor underscores peer-reviewed physician selection in a field where fewer than 7% of reviewed doctors are chosen each year.

Why it matters: - Castle Connolly’s Top Doctor list is peer-nominated and vetted through a physician-led research process, which makes the recognition a credential used by patients looking for independent quality signals. - Dr. Charles K. Herman’s repeat selection puts him in a small group of physicians recognized year after year; the release says fewer than 1% of doctors nationwide have been selected for 18 years.
