About the Awards
Through a comprehensive survey, Washingtonian Magazine surveyed over 13,000 doctors in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, ensuring that each physician could only submit one ballot and could not vote for themselves. The results of this rigorous process identified the top vote-getters in 39 specialties.
Additionally, Bethesda Magazine's Top Doctors issue showcases exceptional physicians spanning 61 specialties in Montgomery County and Upper Northwest D.C. These outstanding practitioners were meticulously chosen by Castle Connolly, a renowned healthcare research company, after undergoing a meticulous screening and selection procedure.
