In 2020, infectious disease doctors found themselves in the spotlight: These specialists study infectious diseases, which range anywhere from a mild common cold to pneumonia to COVID-19. They’re always continuing to train in the field to help understand diseases better since there are constantly new discoveries about infectious diseases.

Kansas City magazine’s annual Top Doctors list is compiled by a trusted national health care research and information company, Castle Connolly. A physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors through a nomination process that is open to all licensed physicians in America. The results are then carefully screened. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected for the Top Doctors list.
