The annual list is based on survey results from more than 5,000 questionnaires that are distributed to physicians across the state that asked respondents to name providers they would recommend, other than themselves, to whom they would send a loved one for “expert medical care.” Similarly, Connecticut Magazine’s list is compiled by recommendations from other doctors in the state.
