Frequently Asked Questions

How is this national list of palliative care specialists built?
This page includes physicians in Convene Health's public directory whose profile lists Palliative Care as a clinical focus area, ranked by composite score (research output, peer recognition, frequency of care, and outcomes signals). Each profile is sourced from the NPI registry, peer-reviewed publication data, board certification records, and the physician's own bio where available.
What should I look for when choosing a palliative care specialist?
Start with clinical fit — the right specialist for palliative care depends on the specific subtype and severity of your condition. Compare credentials, hospital affiliations, years of experience, peer-reviewed publications, and how the profile describes their approach. Many top specialists are concentrated at academic medical centers; if you have flexibility on location, the top of this list is a strong starting set.
Are these palliative care specialists accepting new patients?
Profile detail on availability and accepted insurance varies. Open a specific provider profile to see what they've published about new-patient access, insurance accepted, and typical wait times. Coverage details can change — confirm directly with the practice before your visit.
