Aldea was repeatedly recognized by his fellow doctors as one of the BEST PLASTIC SURGEONS in the USA by the prestigious U.S. News and World Report and Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. since 2012 Dr. Aldea has been repeatedly named one of the nation’s Top Doctors in Plastic Surgery by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. The honor is given to the top 1% percent of Plastic Suegeons and is based on nominations submitted by other physicians and reviewed by Castle Connolly’s doctor-led research team. Dr. Aldea has been recognized as a TOP Doctor by U.S. News and World Report and Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. every year since 2012. Dr. Aldea has been honored as TOP DOCTOR for OVER 11 continuous years and was also nominated by his patients for the Patients’ Choice Award for several years running. U.S. News and World Report partnered with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which specializes in identifying the nation's top doctors and publishes America’s Top Doctors® and put together a list of excellent medical specialists which non- medical people and doctors can rely on, use and refer patients to. Doctors (or their groups or hospitals) cannot apply, nominate themselves, or pay U.S. News and World Report or Castle Connolly to be listed. The Castle Connolly physician-led research team based their selection after carefully reviewing the qualifications and credentials of the specialists of the most heavily nominated doctors across the country whose trusted colleagues felt they were the most worthy of their referrals.
