2022 Top Doctors: Recognizing some of the best doctors in Las Vegas

Health Care Quarterly’s Top Doctors recognizes some of the best doctors in Southern Nevada. These selections are made using a peer-to-peer review process, wherein we survey thousands of local doctors for their recommendation by specialty, to compile a comprehensive list for the public. With a wide variety of medical specialties represented, there is a Top Doctor for any need, disease or ailment. We also offer a selection of Reader’s Choice honorees, as nominated by patients and the general public, because we know how much a great doctor means—and how many people want to honor them. Next time you’re looking for a well-regarded, well-recommended doctor, look no further than this list.
