Awards, Honors, and Grants

Boston magazine honored more than 250 Brigham Health physicians in its 2020 list of “Top Doctors.”

This year, the magazine highlighted 1,665 physicians in 66 different specialties as exemplary leaders in their respective fields. To prepare the annual list, Boston magazine partners with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a health care research group, and invites physicians and medical leadership of leading hospitals to identify highly skilled, exceptional doctors in the region. Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers rigorously screens the nominated physicians to select those most highly regarded by their peers.
