Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic is proud to announce that 16 of our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons have been recognized as Castle Connolly Top Doctors for 2026. This distinguished honor places these physicians among the top physicians nationwide and reflects their exceptional skill, dedication, and unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.
This recognition is a meaningful reflection of the expertise found across our practice and the trust our providers have earned from both peers and patients throughout the region.
What Makes Castle Connolly Top Doctors Recognition So Prestigious?
Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors list is one of the most respected physician recognition programs in the country. Physicians are selected through a rigorous, peer-nominated process and an extensive vetting review that evaluates clinical excellence, training, professional achievements, and patient outcomes.
Earning a place on this list is not something that can be applied for—it is earned through consistent excellence in patient care and the respect of fellow medical professionals.
A Team Committed to Advanced, Patient-Focused Orthopedic Care
At Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, our surgeons represent a wide range of subspecialties, including sports medicine, spine surgery, joint replacement, hand and upper extremity care, and more.
