Congratulations to the 150+ GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences faculty members, including Jeffrey S. Akman, M.D. ’81, RESD ’85, vice president for health affairs, Walter A. Bloedorn Professor of Administrative Medicine, and dean, who were recognized as Washingtonian “Top Doctors.”

Every other year, Washingtonian Magazine releases this prestigious listing, which includes some of the most highly respected physicians in the area. The list includes 1,900 area physicians, across 39 specialties, all chosen by their peers.  While other lists charge providers for inclusion, Washingtonian Magazine only accepts peer nominations. This means doctors included on the list are not only respected by their patients, but by their peers, as well.

The Top Doctors Database is a flexible resource for patients seeking providers and can be searched either by specialty, location, zip code, or the doctor’s last name. To view the full list, please visit the Washingtonian.
