Guide to Top Geriatric Medicine Physicians and Health Services in Kansas City

Geriatric medicine physicians focus on the health and care of elderly people and promote healthy practices to prevent and treat diseases and disabilities in older adults. To recognize excellence in this field, Kansas City magazine’s annual Top Doctors list is compiled by a trusted national health care research and information company, Castle Connolly.

Selection Methodology for Top Doctors

A physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors through a nomination process that is open to all licensed physicians in America. The results are then carefully screened to ensure only the most qualified professionals are included. It is a process based on merit, as doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected for the Top Doctors list.
