Doctors take care of many needs, from putting people under anesthesia before surgery to calming young ones before being injected with immunizations to repairing vericose veins. Medical professionals of all types have been front and center of many people’s minds for many months, and this list, curated by Data Joe, lets readers know about the premier physicians in many areas of medicine. With this list, Omahans are in good, caring, hands. Throughtout the list, readers will see the terms "Legacy" and "Rising Star." A doctor with the designation of Legacy has practiced for more than 30 years; one with the term Rising Star has practiced for less than 5 years.

Summary. DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the "top doctors" list, DataJoe Research facilitated an online peer-voting process. DataJoe reached out to medical groups and individual doctors to facilitate participation. DataJoe also referenced other government and Internet sources to establish credibility/eligibility of doctors. DataJoe then tallied the results,  to score doctors in each category. DataJoe confirmed that each winning candidate had a current, active license status with the state regulatory board. If we were not able to find evidence of a doctor's current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that doctor was excluded from the list.  In addition, any doctor who has been disciplined, up to the time-frame of our review process for an infraction by the state regulatory board, was excluded from the list.  Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments.  

Final note. We recognize that there are many good doctors who are not shown in this representative list. This is only a sampling of the huge array of talented professionals within the region. Inclusion in the list is based on the opinions of responding doctors in the region and the results of our research campaign. We take time and energy to ensure fair voting, although we understand that the results of this survey nomination are not an objective metric. We certainly do not discount the fact that many, many good and effective doctors may not appear on the list.
