November 2024: Top Doctors

Consider this issue your annual checkup of the doctors in your area. New Jersey Monthly’s Top Doctors issue comes out every November and includes the best practitioners in the state, as chosen by their peers.

This year’s list includes 1,022 doctors in 74 specialties, ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics, cardiology to internal medicine.

Use this list as a starting point to find a doctor. Always do your own research and get as much information as possible before making any decision about your health.

We have made a point here at New Jersey Monthly to include in our November issue not only the annual list of Top Doctors, but also a number of stories that speak to the health and medical issues that New Jerseyans are facing right now. You’ll find four such articles in this issue.
