Top Doctors 2008: The List

We're Back with the 17th annual edition of Baltimore's Top Doctors survey

By Edited by Ken Iglehart |

Just when you thought it was safe to pick your physician by closing your eyes and pointing at a name in the Yellow Pages, we’re back, with the 17th annual edition of Baltimore’s Top Doctors survey. It’s a gargantuan project for us, but one we’re confident includes the names of the most highly regarded doctors in the greater Baltimore area.

Highly regarded by whom, you ask? By their peers is the answer. Because, after all, who would want journalists picking their docs?

Alert readers will notice a difference this year: While we’ve been doing this for a long time, we have partnered in the past couple years with national polling firms that specialize in doc surveys, and which are used by other city magazines.

This year, we went back to doing it ourselves, because we wanted to be more hands-on and selective. So, instead of seeing 10 or 15 names under a specialty, you’ll see just the top 1, 3, or 5 leaders in peer referrals.

You’ll also read about some of the latest trends in medicine, from boutique practices to the phenomenon of patients trying to diagnose themselves over the Internet.

The process of determining who the region’s top doctors are in dozens of specialties and subspecialties was made a lot smoother by the assistance of our five medical advisors, who were especially helpful in fine-tuning the surveys we sent to physicians in the Baltimore area, as well as reviewing our list of finalists.

Of course, just for the record, the advisors agreed not to be included on the list of finalists, no matter how the peer polling turned out.

If you’re sick, we want you to get well fast. The good news, though, is that Baltimore is one of the luckiest places in the world to be sick. See for yourself. Oh, and break a leg.

How We Compiled The List

Using names chosen at computer-random from medical association mailing lists, we surveyed more than 2,000 physicians in the region to find out where they would send a member of their family in each of 69 specialties.

Then we ran their names by the doctor policing folks, the Maryland Board of Physician Quality Assurance, to look for legal problems. (Yes, a couple were eliminated in that step.)

In every case, we insisted that docs on the list be accepting new patients, at the very least by referral, because our readers are not served otherwise.

Why are there four or five docs listed in one specialty and only one in some others? In cases where several physicians were running neck and neck in the number of peer referrals,
we included them all.

Meet The Dr.
