elcome to the second iteration of the Alaska Business Top Docs, a directory of the best doctors practicing in Alaska as nominated by their peers.

To gather this information, we invited local, licensed doctors to tell us which of their peers they think excel in providing healthcare to Alaskans through an online survey. Once the survey ended, Alaska Business vetted the gathered information through both a third-party and internal verification process to ensure all nominated doctors are currently licensed and practicing in Alaska.

The result is approximately 250 doctors in a variety of fields who have demonstrated their passion for providing quality healthcare to Alaskans. This list is not intended as a directory of doctors that are currently taking patients, though many undoubtedly are. It is instead a way to highlight excellence in the healthcare industry in Alaska.

The Top Docs are Alaska’s best doctors as nominated by their peers. In July and August, local doctors were invited through an online survey to nominate those that they believe excel in their area of practice. The nominated doctor’s eligibility (must be licensed and practicing in Alaska) was verified through third-party DataJoe Research and an internal verification process. We recognize that there are many excellent doctors who are not shown in this list. This is only a sampling of the array of talented healthcare professionals in the state. Inclusion on the list is based on the opinions of responding doctors in Alaska; inclusion on the list cannot be purchased. We acknowledge that the results of the survey are not an objective metric, and we do not discount that many quality, effective doctors may not appear on this list.
