Top Pediatric Doctors in Columbus for 2019
Keeping children safe and healthy is a parent’s top priority. There are a lot of elements involved in making sure that happens, including the doctors who treat your kids when they’re sick or injured.
Finding the right practitioner can be challenging. So we’ve partnered with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which compiles a list of Top Doctors across the country, to make it a little easier. All the physicians in this directory all were nominated by their peers, screened and deemed by Castle Connolly to be among the best in the region or nation in their medical specialty.
On the following pages, you’ll find 145 physicians practicing in 34 specialties. They appear alphabetically by specialty, then last name. In addition to including all of Castle Connolly’s pediatric practice areas, we also list physicians who possess special expertise related to children, adolescents or pediatric care.
All information in the directory was provided by Castle Connelly, which relies on doctors to keep their information up to date. In a few cases where we knew an address was outdated, we have fixed that information. However, because of the size of the list, we were unable to independently verify every physician’s listing.

Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. is a health care research and information company founded in 1991 by a former medical college board chairman and president to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and top hospitals. Castle Connolly’s established nomination survey, research, screening and selection process, under the direction of an M.D., involves many hundreds of thousands of physicians, as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals and regional and community hospitals all across the nation.
Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select Top Doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nominations process—located at castleconnolly.com/nominations—is open to all licensed physicians in America, who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physicians are, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Careful screening of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers. The result: We identify the Top Doctors in America and provide you, the consumer, with detailed information about their education, training and special expertise in our paperback guides, national and regional magazine “Top Doctors” features and online directories.
Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected and profiled as Castle Connolly Top Doctors.
