Dr. Alexandre B. de Moura and Dr. Timothy T. Roberts have received the 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor designation. This marks the first time both orthopaedic spine surgeons have earned this peer-nominated recognition.
Selected from a pool of licensed physicians, the honorees represent the top seven percent of practitioners in their field. The selection process involves rigorous evaluation by a research team, focusing on medical training, hospital appointments, and professional history.
Both surgeons practice at the New York Spine Institute, where they manage complex spinal conditions ranging from degenerative disc disease to vertebral tumors. Their practice integrates advanced diagnostics and rehabilitation to support patient recovery.
The Castle Connolly designation highlights a growing emphasis on peer-reviewed quality metrics in the medical industry. As healthcare becomes increasingly specialized, patients and providers alike rely on independent, research-driven lists to identify clinicians who meet high standards of education and clinical practice.
This trend reflects a broader shift toward transparency in medical credentialing. By excluding paid listings and focusing on objective data like disciplinary history and board certification, such rankings serve as a tool for navigating the complex landscape of specialized surgical care.
