Washingtonian Magazine & Consumers' Checkbook Top Doctors

Many patients want to know, "Is my doctor really one of the best?" Well if they're asking about one of our doctors, the answer is likely, yes.

Many of Washington Adventist Hospital's physicians are recognized as Top Doctors on lists compiled by Washingtonian Magazine and/or Consumers' Checkbook. We'd like to congratulate each and every one of them and thank all of our physicians for the high-quality and compassionate care they provide our patients and the communities we serve.

As Washingtonian Magazine points out, "the doctors on this list are not necessarily the area's 'best' doctors and certainly not the only good doctors. Many first-rate physicians are not on the list."
