BALTIMORE (October 16, 2023) – The University of Maryland Medical System is once again well-represented in Baltimore magazine's annual "Top Docs" feature, with 220 physicians in 65 adult and 18 pediatric specialties recognized. Of the doctors recognized, 115 practice at the System's flagship academic hospital, the University of Maryland Medical Center.

"Having 220 physicians included as Top Docs and being recognized by their peers is a true example of our System's commitment to excellence and compassion," said Mohan Suntha, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of UMMS. "Our clinicians take great pride in providing world class, high-quality health care for the tens of thousands of patients we serve across Maryland and it is a high honor to receive this recognition from peers."

The results across 129 specialties are based on nominations from physicians to the Baltimore magazine website, where they had the chance to nominate their peers. The more than 600 doctors who received the highest number of recommendations from their peers are included.
