Rothman Recognized with 52 of America's Leading Doctors

An outstanding group of 52 Rothman physicians were recognized by Newsweek and Statista as America’s Leading Doctors in 2025. The award rankings are divided between 15 specialties and are compiled based on the underlying data analysis of four data sources:

1. Doctor performance data: Analysis of performance benchmark data based on Medicare Fee-for-Service claims and commercial data sourced from Arcadia

2. Recommendations from peers: Online survey of thousands of medical experts (doctors, managers/administrators, and other medical professionals) across 20 states with knowledge in the respective medical field

3. Quality assessment: Quality of care rating by peers

4. Certifications: Certifications from several American medical and surgical certification boards

Rothman physicians were honored in the following specialties: Foot & Ankle, Hand & Wrist, Hip, Knee, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Shoulder & Elbow, Spine, and Sports Medicine.

“While we try on a daily basis to lead and provide care to our communities, to have four-dozen of our physicians honored as Leaders in their fields, is an accomplishment that can only happen with the support of our patients.” says Dr. Alexander Vaccaro, Spine Surgeon and President at Rothman Orthopaedics.
