Our team would like to congratulate Dr. Neal Goldberg — our renowned board-certified plastic surgeon in Westchester — for his recognition as a Castle Connolly® Top Doctor, an honor he’s held for several years in a row. Not only is Dr. Goldberg included in the 2025 compilation of Top Doctors®, but he is also once again featured in publications like New York and Westchester magazine.
Whether you’re in the initial stages of the research process or you’re still considering whether aesthetic surgery is the right solution to your concerns, consulting a highly experienced and extensively qualified plastic surgeon is paramount. In order to simplify the process of finding the right plastic surgeon for you, consumer research company Castle Connolly, Ltd. makes an annual compilation of the most reputable and leading aesthetic surgeons in the New York metropolitan area, culminating in the coveted list of NYC Top Doctors®.
Narrowing down the Top Doctor® list starts with a nomination process, after which Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team carefully reviews each nominee’s credentials, looking at factors such as board certification, advanced training, hospital appointments, years of experience, professional achievements, and most importantly, the quality of care provided to patients. Only a small percentage of doctors across the country ultimately earn the title of Top Doctor®, making it a truly selective and prestigious distinction.
What Does the Top Doctors® List Mean for Patients?
The Castle Connolly® Top Doctors roster acts as a trusted guide for patients who want confidence in their choice of aesthetic surgeon. No matter if a patient wants to reduce excess fat with liposuction or is considering a more extensive procedure like a tummy tuck, those interested in aesthetic treatments can turn to this list for stronger patient education and awareness. Instead of relying on advertising or online reviews, which can sometimes be biased or inconsistent, this list is based on peer nominations and a lengthy physician-led review process. This means the doctors included have been recognized by fellow medical professionals, who generally know the difference between average care and exceptional expertise.
For patients, this helps narrow down potential options to surgeons who have been vetted for their training, board certifications, professional accomplishments, and patient care. Since only a small percentage of physicians nationwide make the list, it highlights those who are truly leaders in their field. In plastic surgery, where experience, precision, and safety are crucial, having access to a resource like the Castle Connolly Top Doctors® list provides knowledge and reassurance.
