MSP Communications invites physicians to nominate colleagues whom they know are exceptional in their fields. They are asked to consider the question, "If you needed medical care in one of the following specialties, which doctor would you choose?" Physicians may not self-nominate.
The group’s staff also searches medical databases, online sources and publications for physicians who have attained certain credentials.
Candidates are evaluated on 10 criteria of peer recognition and professional achievement. Nominees are then grouped into specialties and their nominations are scored by a blue-ribbon panel of physicians from their respective specialties.
Lastly, the organization totals points candidates receive from nominations, research, and blue-ribbon panel review. The highest-scoring doctors land on the Super Doctors list.
