UMMS Physicians Named 2019 Top Doctors by Baltimore Magazine

Over 200 doctors who practice at affiliated UMMS hospitals were recognized as "Top Doctors" in the November 2019 issue of Baltimore magazine. This issue marks another strong showing for the Medical System and the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

The results are based on Baltimore magazine's annual survey of roughly 14,000 physicians in the Baltimore region who were asked to name the best doctors in 129 subspecialties. Nearly 20,000 names were submitted, and only those who received the highest number of recommendations by their peers made the list, according to the magazine.
