With over 30 years’ experience researching, reviewing, and selecting Top Doctors, Castle Connolly is a trusted and credible healthcare research and information company. Our mission is to help people find the best healthcare by connecting patients with best-in-class healthcare providers. 

Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nomination process is open to all licensed physicians in America who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physician(s) is, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Then, Castle Connolly’s research team thoroughly vets each physician’s professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history and if available, outcomes data. Additionally, a physician’s interpersonal skills such as listening and communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence, are also considered in the review process. The Castle Connolly Doctor Directory is the largest network of peer-nominated physicians in the nation.

In addition to Top Doctors, Castle Connolly’s research team also identifies Rising Stars, early career doctors who are emerging leaders in the medical community. 

Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” and “Rising Stars” feature may also appear online at www.castleconnolly.com, or in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online and/or in print.

Orthopedic Surgery
The Orthopaedic Center, Ascension St. John Health System
Tulsa

Rather than listen to music or a podcast during his morning commute, orthopedic surgeon Yogesh Mittal, M.D., contemplates surgeries and prays to “bring my best self into every patient room.”

Mittal says he chose orthopedics “because of the hands-on nature of the specialty. I get to take an active role in placing implants, manipulating joints and using state-of-the-art tools to craft a patient’s outcome to their anatomy and their lifestyle. Orthopedics also feeds my passion for implementing robotics and AI technology for joint replacements, joint revisions and injury repairs.”

Mittal, known as the top robotically assisted hip and knee joint replacement surgeon in the world, trains other surgeons around the country on computer-assisted navigation and robotic surgical techniques. 

“I am fortunate enough to have been in top level discussions about this technology and how it can better serve the surgeon and, ultimately, the patient. Surgeons are uniquely positioned into peoples’ lives for a very short, yet very impactful amount of time. We are there to be a solution for a problem, but we are in an industry that has to make the pain temporarily worse for it to get better. Walking alongside a patient with the heightened emotions that are involved in the pre-op and post-op process gives us a deep understanding of our patients, and a bond that can last the rest of the patient’s life.”

With so much new technology in the works, Mittal says the future is bright for those with bone issues.

“The customization of implants to the patient’s anatomy is improving outcomes exponentially, and we have only scratched the surface on what possibilities are out there.” – TL

Obstetrics and Gynecology
INTEGRIS Health 
Oklahoma City

Andrea Miller, D.O., says she’s always had an interest in maternal care and women’s health – and it’s this passion that led her to become an OB/GYN. 

“I love caring for women as they are expanding their families and helping women stay healthy and well while they navigate the different stages of their lives,” she says. 

She received her medical degree and training through Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and has been with INTEGRIS Health since 2013. Her typical work day can include surgeries and deliveries as well as seeing patients in the clinic, and may also involve being ‘on-call’ during nights and weekends. 

“My schedule is often fluid, and being able to pivot is necessary,” she says. “For generalist OB/GYNs, we take care of a wide variety of issues including pregnancy, some fertility testing and treatment, and a wide variety of gynecologic concerns including hormone therapy.”

She says areas where there have been new developments in treatment include more therapy options for vaginal bleeding and endometriosis – conditions that can greatly alter the quality of a woman’s life. 

When asked what part of her career is the most fulfilling, for her, it’s difficult to say.

“Every time I deliver a baby, it is rewarding … and every time I can help someone feel better or fix what needs to be fixed, it is rewarding,” she says. “It’s very hard to actually come up with a most rewarding part.” – RF

Cardiology 
Saint Francis Health System
Tulsa

With more than 40 years experience, cardiologist Tho Dinh Le, M.D., says he’s always found the heart to be a fascinating organ and was particularly drawn to the field of cardiology due to his family history. 

“There is a higher incidence of heart disease in Southeast Asians, and my father passed away at an early age, in his 50s, because of a heart attack,” he says. 

During his career, Le has seen many new advancements of therapies and technologies for cardiology treatments that have allowed people to live longer and have a better quality of life. Coronary interventions, cardiac catheterization labs and valve replacement without open heart surgery are just a few examples. 

“In cardiology, there’s certain things we can do that make people better very quickly – like putting in a stent or a pacemaker when needed – and in 24 to 48 hours, there can be a 180 degrees turn around in one’s clinical condition,” he says, adding that it’s rewarding to be able to diagnose conditions, help people improve their health, and experience the longevity of patient care.

“If someone’s had a heart attack or has a heart condition, you see them for the rest of their life to monitor their heart, so it’s a long-term relationship with patients,” says Le. “When you’ve seen a patient for 10, 15 or 20 years, that relationship is invaluable, and I think those are the things that are most rewarding over time within cardiology.” – RF

Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 
W Aesthetics
Oklahoma City

At the forefront of plastic surgery’s advancement, Ivan Wayne, M.D., is pioneering innovative techniques as medical science transforms the specialty – with remarkable breakthroughs seen recently. His educational background includes medical school at the University of Iowa, followed by a residency in New York and a prestigious facial plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Miami. After receiving this extensive training, he established W Aesthetics in Oklahoma City – a practice devoted exclusively to surgery of the face and neck.

“The evolution of facial rejuvenation has been a big deal in the last couple of years, with many people turning away from fillers and lasers and opting instead for a more natural result from a deep plane facelift,” says Wayne. 

He and his team have refined this technique, developing an innovative procedure called the “W lift,” which delivers a more natural outcome with minimal bruising and a faster recovery period.

Wayne’s passion for his specialty stems from its complexity and its long-lasting effects. 

“I always found the detailed anatomy of the face and neck fascinating,” he says. “The ability to impact a patient’s life by restoring facial appearance, whether from an injury, cancer, surgery or simply reversing some of the effects of aging, is incredibly rewarding. As my practice has matured, I have narrowed my focus to aesthetic concerns of nose, face and neck.” – TL

Hematology and Oncology
OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center
Oklahoma City

Wajeeha Razaq, M.D., says nothing brings her more joy than seeing her patients return to their normal routines after navigating the challenges of chemotherapy and breast cancer treatment. 

“Some patients I treated during their pregnancies, and seeing them back with their kids, planning their soccer or basketball games, is priceless,” she says. “I also have very fond memories of patients who passed away, and I still hold on to the cards they wrote for me. I love what I do and always come to the clinic with a positive attitude.”  

Drawn to the opportunity of building a comprehensive breast program and advanced research with OU Health, Razaq joined Stephenson Cancer Center in 2012 and has since led numerous clinical trials, secured research grants and established a thriving practice in Oklahoma City.

“It’s fascinating to collaborate on brand new ideas to develop leading-edge treatments for the future,” she says. “This field is ever changing with new and improved medications and procedures. As an oncologist, I have to be up-to-date on all the new research so I can provide the best plan to my patients.”

She says every year, the FDA approves new and refined medications; surgical and radiation techniques are becoming more targeted; and proton therapy is being introduced. 

“There are many potent drugs in the pipeline, and I’m hoping they will get approved in the next year or so,” says Razaq. “I have a number of clinical trials open at Stephenson Cancer Center and have access to these new drugs that are waiting to be approved by the FDA.” – RF

Urology
SSM Health St. Anthony
Oklahoma City

In medical school, Mohammad Ramadan, M.D., discovered he had a penchant for surgery, an interest that led him to the field of urology for its blend of both medical and surgical patient management and its long-term patient care.

“There are a wide variety of disease states and procedures to help patients in urology, and the field is often at the forefront of technology and innovation in medicine,” he says. “I have a passion for minimally invasive surgery, particularly robotic surgery, and have been very fortunate to introduce single-port robotic surgery to the state of Oklahoma and to SSM. I am also passionate about the management of malignancy in urology.”

Ramadan says the gratitude he receives from helping patients is the reward for long days – and it never feels repetitive or mundane. 

“Patients come to our clinic or hospital in a vulnerable state and look to our team to help them with something that they can’t otherwise fix themselves or with their [primary care provider],” he says. “I often get to help treat a diagnosis of cancer, aid a patient through a urologic emergency, or help improve their quality of life. It’s a blessing to be able to impact people’s lives in a positive way on a daily basis and I am blessed to be able to do so with a great team.” 

He also notes that the field of urology is comprehensive – providing treatment for the genitourinary tract, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, penis, testes and adrenal glands. 

“It’s more than just treatment of kidney stones and prostate issues; we treat cancer in all of these organs,” he says. “Also, we treat men and women. It is a common misnomer that we only treat kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.” – RF

Having a stressful day or week is a normal part of life. But when it becomes long-term, known as chronic stress, it can impact one’s health. 

Physical reactions to stress can include headaches, stomach problems, poor sleep and difficulty concentrating. Learning ways to cope with day-to-day challenges can help manage symptoms. Seek out ways to care for your mind and body. Simple breathing exercises, a walk outdoors or a pause from social media can provide mental breaks. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day can support healthy sleep patterns, and adults should try to reach seven or more hours per night of sleep. Regular exercise along with a balanced diet also goes a long way in managing and relieving stress.

– U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports approximately 48 million cases of foodborne illness in the United States each year. The most common causes are bacteria (salmonella, listeria and E. coli) and viruses (norovirus, clostridium perfringens and campylobacter). 

Symptoms of an upset stomach, vomiting and/or diarrhea can begin within hours or several days after consuming the contaminated food. While most people have a mild case, some can be severe. It’s estimated about 128,000 Americans are hospitalized and 3,000 die every year from foodborne illnesses. To avoid a foodborne illness when cooking at home, it’s recommended to wash your hands and surfaces often, separate raw items to avoid cross-contamination, cook foods at the correct internal temperatures and promptly refrigerate leftovers.

According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, also called hypertension. Hypertension occurs when the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels is consistently too high. 

If left untreated, hypertension can lead to life-threatening problems such as heart attack and stroke. Known as a ‘silent killer,’ high blood pressure typically has no signs or symptoms. Instead, it’s necessary to have your blood pressure measured by a healthcare professional to record your systolic blood pressure (the upper number) and diastolic blood pressure (the lower number). Current recommendations for an ideal or normal blood pressure is 120/80.

A common cause of chest pain, costochondritis is inflammation in the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone or sternum. It’s estimated that one third of patients who seek medical attention for chest pain or rib pain have costochondritis. 

There’s no single cause for the condition but it may develop from repeated stress or microtraumas on the ribs. These may occur from chest or rib injuries, chest infections, coughing or vomiting too hard, or intense physical activity. 

While both children and adults can develop costochondritis, it most commonly affects adults aged 40 to 50. Fortunately, most cases resolve after a few weeks of resting the chest and ribcage.

As the largest internal organ in the body, the liver is an unassuming superhero, as it performs more than 500 vital functions while also being the only organ to regenerate itself after damage. 

The liver filters the body’s blood, removing toxins and waste, makes bile that helps the body digest food, and produces proteins and hormones the body needs. 

To support a healthy liver, the American Liver Foundation recommends maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains as well as maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise. It’s also essential to limit your alcohol intake, vaccinate for hepatitis A and hepatitis B, and know the risks of liver damage associated with certain medications as well as herbal and dietary supplements.

For first-time parents, caring for a newborn can be a mixture of joy and fear. The first few days, weeks and months can feel overwhelming. While learning how to care for your baby, it’s also important to recognize potential health issues. 

That’s why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies receive checkups at birth, three to five days after birth, and then checkups at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months, followed by regular checkups throughout the toddler stage and childhood. 

Concerning symptoms to speak with your doctor about can include a poor appetite or vomiting, a decrease in urinating and/or bowel movements, as well as inconsolable crying and/or changes in sleep patterns. Parents should seek immediate medical attention if their baby has a fever, fast breathing or makes wheezing, grunting or whistling sounds, which indicate breathing difficulties.
