New Jersey's 1,117 top doctors represent 73 medical specialties. New Jersey Monthly commissioned a survey by Leflein Associates, a research firm in Ringwood. Leflein Associates mailed a questionnaire to every doctor licensed in New Jersey for at least five years.

After a preliminary list was drawn up, doctors on a panel were chosen from among the top vote-getters in last year's survey to make the final selections for this year's list.
