Baltimore Magazine Announces 2020 Top Doctors

Baltimore Magazine recognized 155 physicians providing care at the University of Maryland Medical Center Downtown and Midtown campuses as "Top Doctors" of 2020.

The magazine's roster is notable because it's based on a nine-month-long survey of thousands of physicians in the Baltimore metro region. Physicians were asked where they would send members of their own family for specialized care. The list encompasses the best of the best doctors in 129 specialties. Only about six percent of all physicians in the area receive the peer support to make this list.

Our "top doctors" are listed below by specialty. Click on their names to learn more about them or to make an appointment.
