Top Doctors 2015: Listings
From allergy specialists to X-ray experts, we've listed the physicians who their peers believe are the best in their respective fields.
Edited by Ron Cassie and Ken Iglehart - November 2015
Welcome to the results of our 2015 Top Doctors peer survey, the most selective such list in the region and a resource our readers have trusted for 29 years. In more than 100 specialties (some of which you may have to Google to fathom), we’ve listed the physicians that their roughly 12,000 peers in the greater Baltimore region believe are the best in their respective fields. But there’s more to this feature than just a string of names: We tell the chilling tale of a prominent University of Maryland physician who was quarantined for suspected Ebola after serving on a volunteer medical team in West Africa, and we check in on the progress of a 10-year effort at The Johns Hopkins Hospital to perfect an artificial heart. The diagnosis: The medical expertise within a 50-mile radius of Baltimore is really extraordinary.

Featured Top Doctors
Neil B. Friedman, M.D.
AGE: 55. Hospital affiliation: Mercy Medical Center. Training:
Medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, residency at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Specialty: Breast cancer surgery. What convinced you to pursue a career in medicine? It’s the only thing I wanted to do since I was 16 years old. I’m the first one in my family to become a physician. I literally told my parents, ‘I’m going to be a doctor, a surgeon, that’s what I want to do.’ I’ve always liked helping people and it fit my personality. What sorts of moments tell you that it was the right career decision? When patients come back after treatment and you see the relief in their faces, the gratitude, and they give you a big hug. What was the most difficult case you ever handled? I think the most difficult cases are when I’m facing a young woman I know has young children, and she ends up having multiple positive nodes, and I know her prognosis is not terribly good—those are always the hardest ones. What do you see as the biggest challenge facing American health care in the coming years? The cost of medicine continues to go up and up, in particular, cancer drugs. We are getting better and better at identifying the different characteristics of tumors and developing drugs that treat those particular tumors based on those characteristics. The problem is, these drugs are extremely expensive. If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? I would probably run a construction company. I love big buildings. When Mercy’s Bunting Center was under construction, I’d watch the work every day. The foreman let me put on a hard hat and I was climbing ladders, checking out the progress of the work.Dominique Wilmot Allen, M.D.
Age: 48. Hospital Affiliation: Greater Baltimore Medical Center. Training: Medical school, Georgetown University Medical School, residency at GBMC. Specialty: Obstetrics & gynecology. Why did you choose medicine as a career? I was inspired by two generations of nurses in my family as well as my strong desire to serve the community. What do you recall as the most difficult case you ever handled? One of the most difficult involved a young woman I’d had the pleasure of caring for since before she was married. I delivered her two children and then, a few weeks after the birth of her second child, I gave her the diagnosis of her fatal colon cancer. I still think about and pray for her and her family daily. What do you do in your free time? The majority of my free time is spent with my family. I have two young daughters and an equally busy husband. We enjoy skiing, tennis, and taking long walks through Robert E. Lee Park. I also carve out volunteer time with the Links and Girls Empowerment Mission organizations. What do you see as the biggest challenge facing American health care in the coming years? Health care costs vs. health status compared to other developed countries in the world. Would you consider Obamacare a qualified success or a mistake? Obamacare has accomplished many successes in the OB/GYN specialty. For example, it has allowed women 26 and younger to remain insured under their parents’ insurance, provided coverage for annual office visits with no co-pays, and increased coverage for many contraceptives, breast-feeding support/supplies, and mammograms. If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? I would probably be teaching, which is why I enjoy being on the resident teaching service for gynecologic surgery.
Gabriel Soudry, M.D.
Age: 54. Hospital affiliation: MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, George Washington University Hospital.Training: Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine, Harvard Medical School. Specialty: Nuclear medicine, internal medicine. What convinced you to become a doctor? I had a very caring, personable, charismatic family physician as a child. I wanted to become just like him. What’s the most satisfying aspect of being a doctor? The challenge of earning the trust of my patients and referring physicians every single day. What is nuclear medicine? Nuclear medicine is a sub-specialty of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive materials, administered to the patient, to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease, and several other medical conditions. What’s the most difficult case you ever handled? As a young intern, a patient threatened to kill herself if I would not prescribe her excessive amounts of pain medication. What do you do in your free time? I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting friends, cooking fusion food, studying comparative religion, and riding my motorcycle. What do you see as the biggest challenge facing American health care in the coming years? Convincing people to take care of themselves and live healthier lifestyles. Would you consider Obamacare a qualified success or a mistake? Too early to say. If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? A musician.
Virginia Keane, M.D.
Age: 59. Hospital affiliation: Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital. Training: Graduate of the City College of New York Sophie
Davis School of Biomedical Education and State University
of New York at Buffalo, internship and residency at University of Maryland. Fellowship in general academic pediatrics, The Johns Hopkins Hospital.Specialty: General pediatrics, primary care for children with complex medical conditions. Why did you choose a career in medicine? I loved science and wanted to help people, and I wanted to do something that not many women were doing, and that was true for medicine in 1974. Only 20 percent of my medical school class was female. Medicine fit all three bills. Most difficult case: I take care of the most sick children—who are home with ventilators, tube feedings, neurologic problems, and multisystem disease. The hardest thing is when a family loves their child but just can’t take care of him or her. The only option we have is to place the child in medical foster care. What do you do in your free time? I spend time with my husband of 33 years, and my sons, 28 and 25. I love to garden, read, visit museums, and go to movies. And I love to travel: This fall, we are going to Egypt, with a few days in Paris. If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? My first ambition was to be the first girl to play with the New York Yankees, but I had to give that up when I stopped growing just shy of 5 feet. I also thought about being an paleoanthropologist or archaeologist (think Mary Leakey and Jane Goodall), an urban planner, or a forestry and ecology professional.Our Survey Advisors

METHODOLOGY - To arrive at our results, our annual online poll surveyed thousands of physicians in the region to find out where they would send a member of their own family in dozens of specialties (participating physicians had to identify themselves). And it seems most doctors agree on who is the best: The survey revealed clear standouts in nearly every specialty early in the process. Assisting us with the survey were our three physician advisers (see related biographies, above), who were not eligible to be included on the list.Newsletters
