Best Doctors Global Network
What is the Best Doctors Global Network
What does it mean to access Best Doctors network of 50,000 medical specialists? It means the right diagnosis, the right treatment options, faster recoveries and better medical outcomes.
Built over the past 20 years, our global network has grown to 50,000 peer-nominated specialists, including almost 2,000 Canadian physicians. Only current Best Doctors receive our survey to nominate and vote for Best Doctors. Our survey asks one simple question, replicating the way that doctors find the best care for themselves and their families: "If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, whom would you choose?"
To ensure the integrity of our network, we initiate the nomination process every 18 months.
Once nominated as a Best Doctor, physicians are then screened for licensure, certification and disciplinary actions. Best Doctors does not provide, nor accept fees for the privilege of inclusion in the network - physicians can only be accepted into the network through our peer-reviewed nomination poll.
Best Doctors does not employ doctors, but may call on the appropriate specialist in our global network to consult on cases in their area of expertise. It is the specialist’s choice as to whether he or she wishes to participate in the consultation.
Far from replacing the existing patient-physician relationship,
Best Doctors was created to enhance the healthcare system. While members are the most noticeable beneficiaries of Best Doctors, treating physicians can also benefit. We work collaboratively with our members’ treating physicians, offering them additional resources, education and support.
By conferring with the Best Doctors specialists, treating physicians have the opportunity to consult with some of the world’s top medical specialists regarding their patients.
"Experience has taught me that most treating physicians would welcome an outside expert opinion in the treatment of critically ill patients. Best Doctors provides the treating physician with a fresh view of the problem."
