| Hi all-does anyone have a source for good recommended docs in the area? I saw the Washingtonian list, but it was heavy on the dermatologists and light on other specialties, and also didn't include Johns Hopkins/Baltimore doctors. Happy to pay for it if access is required... |

| Washington consumer's checkbook, available at many libraries. Just be aware that some of those named are really busy. |

Popularity does not a good clinician make.
Get rec's from people you trust, or at least people you know. Failing that, a post to a local listserv might be a decent bet. Or even Yelp/zoc doc reviews or healthgrades/ratemds A lot of those "DMV's best docs" lists are pay for play anyway. |

Which ones can be bought into, do you know? Washingtonian and Washington checkbook claim they are based upon surveys of physicians. But I always wonder what kind of horse trading goes on behind the scenes with that process. |

"best of" lists. |

Which ones? Don’t guess. Is it correct t that you have to receive votes from other physicians to get on it? |

| As far as I know you only need one other physician to vote for you to be on the Top Doc list of the Washingtonian. Completely meaningless. |

Did you read where the prior poster says “don’t guess?” Washingtonian surveys 13,000 local doctors and selects the “top vote getters ” in 39 categories (which results in about 300 selectees). |

| I didn’t guess, this is what a friend who is a physician told me. One that actually is on that list. |
