Some of life’s most important moments happen at the doctor’s office. But searching for the right primary care provider or specialist can be a trying process. We know, we’ve been there. That’s why we partner with the physician-led research firm Castle Connolly to produce Palm Springs Life’s annual list of the Coachella Valley’s Top Doctors.
The 135 individuals recognized here were nominated by fellow licensed physicians. Those nominations were then vetted by Castle Connolly’s team of researchers, who examine doctors’ educational and professional experience to screen and select the crème de la crème on both the national and regional levels. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected.
We recognize that this is just a sliver of the medical talent providing excellent care in Greater Palm Springs. If you’re satisfied with your physicians, stick with them. But if you need a referral, consider this a reliable short list for your decision-making process.
Congratulations to this year’s Top Doctors. For all you do, we salute you!

About the Research Firm
Castle Connolly invites all licensed physicians in the United States to nominate their peers in any medical specialty and in any part of the country online at castleconnolly.com/nominations. The firm follows a rigorous screening process to identify the top individuals. Those identified here also appear online at castleconnolly.com and in conjunction with other databases. Founded in 1991, Castle Connolly has been the official source for Top Doctors features in national and regional magazines like Palm Springs Life for more than 30 years.
Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team thoroughly vets each doctor’s professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history, and if available, outcomes data. Additionally, a physician’s interpersonal skills such as listening and communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence are also considered in the review process. The Castle Connolly Doctor Directory is the largest network of peer-nominated physicians in the nation. Physicians do not and cannot pay to be included in the Top Doctors directory.
