Dr. Kelly Sennholz of Symtrimics named as Top 25 Celebrity Doctors on Twitter Worth Following

What makes a physician popular on Twitter? Celebrity status might be gained through television shows, authorship or simply by being accessible to patients and to other medical professionals in the comfort of their homes.

In the our list of the top 25 celebrity doctors on Twitter who are worth following, you may learn that 'celebrity status' might be a combination of what that doctor knows as well as how he or she presents that information.

The following list is divided into two categories entitled, "Instantly Recognizable" and "Gaining a Name." The first category includes doctors who have over 75,000 followers.

The second category includes doctors who have 10,000-50,000 followers. Notice the gap in numbers between the two categories…we could not find doctors who had between 50,000 and 75,000 followers.

This gap might show that success is viral. After this list makes its rounds, a few of the doctors in the second category may end up in the first category. Some, like Dr. Andrew Weil - who has been on the cover of Time and is instantly recognizable outside Twitter - may work their way into the Twitter 'hall of doctor fame' with over 75,000 followers once people realize that he Twitters.

Each doctor on this list is worth following, as they all offer information to the medical profession as well as to patients. No matter if its in the field of nursing or in the field of social media, each doctor can show readers how to gain some popularity (and responsibility) for helping others.

The links within each category are listed alphabetically by the doctor's Twitter name and the links lead to their Twitter pages. From there, you can learn more about the doctor, including links to each doctor's Web site(s) and other specialties.
