Since men don’t see doctors until it’s absolutely necessary, it’s crucial that we find a good doctor when we’re finally looking for one.

Now Men’s Health comes to the rescue. They’ve decided to make an annual list of “America’s Top Doctors”, and this year’s list is the first. Check it out if you will. Me? I don’t need a doctor. I’ll just bookmark the list for now.

Men have had a rocky relationship with doctors since day 1. Don’t remember? There you were, bobbing in a sea of amniotic security, when a masked man suddenly yanked you out, smacked your butt, and then, right before your traumatized eyes . . . cut your lifeline. Next time you saw the sadist, he was holding a scalpel and reaching for your penis.

Today, the indignities of the relationship remain (digital rectal exam, anyone?), though at least now you decide whom to trust with your life. But how exactly do you decide? How does a guy tell all the whitecoats apart, distinguish the merely competent doctors from the truly talented? Leave that to Men’s Health and Castle Connolly Medical, a research firm that asks physicians whom they would go to and then exhaustively screens the results. Together we’ve compiled a directory of crack practitioners in the most vital specialties for men, from psychiatry to urology.
