In an era of informed decision-making, it is increasingly important for patients to make well-founded choices about which doctor to consult for their specific condition. To support this process, Statista and Newsweek have partnered to provide a comprehensive resource: America's Leading Doctors 2025.

Newsweek and Statista have ranked and awarded doctors in 15 different medical specialties based on four data sources:

• Physician Performance Data: Doctors' performance benchmark data sourced from Arcadia was used to evaluate a physician’s performed procedures against the state average based on the volume of episodes performed and five measures per procedure (e.g. complications by episodes, mortality rate).
• Recommendations From Peers: Thousands of medical experts (physicians, managers/administrators, and other medical professionals with knowledge in the respective medical field) in 20 US states were invited to an online survey.
• Quality Score: For In-State recommendations, participants were asked to assess the quality of care (e.g., treatments, follow-up care, use of most recent equipment) and professional expertise of the specific specialty.
• Certifications: Surgeons received 5% towards their total score if they have American medical and surgical certifications relevant to each specific medical field.

Based on the results of the study, Drs. Huang, Punjabi, and Saltzmann are honored to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Leading Doctors 2025.
