When choosing a plastic surgeon, patients often look for trustworthy credentials that go beyond online reviews. One of the most respected recognitions in the medical field is being named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor — an honor Honolulu plastic surgeon Dr. Shim Ching has achieved 11 years in a row.
What Is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor?
Castle Connolly is a trusted organization that helps patients find the best doctors in their area. Each year, they publish a list of physicians across the United States who are recognized for:
- Peer nominations from other doctors
- Rigorous credential checks by a physician-led research team
- Commitment to excellence, safety, and patient outcomes
Importantly, doctors cannot pay to be included — which means the recognition is earned strictly on merit and professional reputation.
