When doctors and nurses, or their loved ones, are sick, to whom do they turn? That’s the question we’ve asked for the past 19 years in our annual peer survey, across 80 specialties, covering doctors from addiction medicine to wound care. We also ask about nurse practitioners, chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, and more.

Our list of top medical doctors and physician assistants was created in partnership with DataJoe Research. Search the directory here.

The nurse practitioners and the results of a companion survey covering acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, naturopaths, and physical therapists are below.

Our surveys are far from perfect: people who work for large medical groups where lots of coworkers are familiar with their work definitely have an edge, for example, and our list of specialties doesn’t capture everyone. But the names here are a great starting point for when you find yourself asking who you want to have looking after your family. 

Are you a provider hoping to take an online survey? Look for it here in spring 2023.
