LA's Top Doctors 2025 featured in Los Angeles Magazine

Each year, Los Angeles magazine publishes a roundup of recommended doctors in a variety of specialties. The list is compiled and vetted by Professional Research Services, a firm specializing in conducting our annual countywide peer-to-peer survey. Practicing physicians were asked to nominate doctors they deem worthy of consideration. After cross-checking the California Medical Board’s license profile database and the Department of Consumer Affairs to ensure they had clean bills of health, the names were reduced to a manageable 1,300-plus to present a resource to some of the best doctors practicing in the L.A. area today.
