*U.S. News & World Report - Dr. Michael P. Lewko was recently added to U.S. News & World Report database of Best Doctors, derived from Castle Connolly's database of Top Doctors, which all were recommended for their clinical skills by other doctors and individually vetted by a physician-led research team. Consumers can search for a Top Doctor by location, hospital affiliation, and a full range of specialties and subspecialties.

"For decades, the Best Hospitals rankings have helped guide patients who need an especially high level of care to hospitals that excel in providing it," said Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. "Top Doctors has a similar mission. We want to help consumers find the doctors in their area who come highly recommended by other physicians."

Castle Connolly assembled the roster of Top Doctors by soliciting nominations from physicians in academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional hospitals and physicians in private practice. Its research team then reviewed each nominee's training, achievements, and appointments, among other credentials.

Castle Connolly guides are trusted and heavily utilized sources for finding the best healthcare. They are respected not only by consumers seeking healthcare information but also by doctors who use it to make referrals. There is no charge to physicians selected to be included in our guides.
