OUTSTANDING PHYSICIANS ACROSS THE METRO AREA
With over 30 years’ experience researching, reviewing, and selecting Top Doctors, Castle Connolly is a trusted and credible health care research and information company. Our mission is to help people find the best health care by connecting patients with best-in-class health care providers.
Castle Connolly's physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nomination process is open to all licensed physicians in America who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physician(s) is, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Then, Castle Connolly's research team thoroughly vets each physician's professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history and if available, outcomes data. Additionally, a physician's interpersonal skills such as listening and communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence, are also considered in the review process. The Castle Connolly Doctor Directory is the largest network of peer-nominated physicians in the nation.
In addition to Top Doctors, Castle Connolly's research team also identifies Rising Stars, early career doctors who are emerging leaders in the medical community.
Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine's “Top Doctors” and “Rising Stars” feature may also appear online at www.castleconnolly.com, or in in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online and/or in print.

Dr. Bhooma Aravamuthan
CHILD NEUROLOGY
Washington University Physicians
For Aravamuthan, one of the joys of her vocation is balancing research with medicine. “With cerebral palsy research, everything I do in the lab is informed by the work that we do in the clinic,” she says. “I try to make sure that every single one of our research questions, if answered, helps a family.” Recently, Aravamuthan has been interested in learning more about a movement disorder called dystonia, which causes painful, involuntary muscle contractions. While studying the condition, she recognized that she needed to view the disorder in context. “It made me shift my research from a pure mouse-based animal model to combining community-focused research, clinical research, and a mouse-model lab all together because of the things I was hearing from the clinic,” she says. “That was all because I had the privilege to see families in the clinic and learn about how they experience dystonia.”

Dr. Robert G. Medler
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
Signature Medical Group
Youth sports are supposed to be fun. That's the message Medler continually stresses to families. Unfortunately, he sees plenty of grade school and high school athletes who are being pushed too hard. “The No. 1 injury I see is overuse,” Medler says. “I constantly remind the students and their parents that rest is important for the overall health of the athlete.” The good news is the field of orthopedics is ever evolving. Over the course of his career, Medler has seen remarkable advancements in arthroscopic equipment. It's now possible to perform complex procedures through a scope, and there have been incredible developments in the engineering of total joint implants and fracture care implants. “It likely won't be long before we can return athletes to unrestricted sport participation in half the time after ACL reconstruction,” he says.
