Dr. Diana Ponsky Named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 2026

This marks Dr. Ponsky's 11th consecutive year receiving this honor

Dr. Diana Ponsky of Ponsky Facial Plastic Surgery in Beachwood was named a Top Doctor for the eleventh year in a row, holding the honor since 2016. Castle Connolly is a peer-reviewed directory of doctors and hospitals which releases a yearly list of Top Doctors, a recognition that only goes to the top 7% of the 1 million US board-certified physicians, 37% being women. Those on the list are nominated by their peers and validated by Castle Connolly’s research team to ensure they deliver the highest quality patient care.


“Receiving this award is both humbling and motivating,” said Ponsky. “My team and I work exceedingly hard to deliver exceptional care, so earning a Top Doctor award is both a fantastic reflection of our success and a great way to drive us to outdo ourselves in the future. I would also like to congratulate the other nominees – It’s an honor to be in such distinguished company.”


Dr. Ponsky is double board certified in facial plastic and head and neck surgery, carrying certifications from both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology. She has over 12 years of experience in cosmetic surgery of the face.
