Top Clinicians is a registered trademark and we make every effort to ensure that the term is used appropriately. Each of the clinicians on our list should not be considered a “Top Clinician.” Rather, they should be referred to as “selected for inclusion on the Top Clinicians ™ 2019 list.” This title is not intended to be descriptive, comparative or self-aggrandizing.
