More than 100 ‘Top Docs’ recognized in Washington state

SEATTLE — Kaiser Permanente in Washington congratulates its more than 100 clinicians who were recognized in this year’s regional “Top Doctors” lists. The annual “Top Doc” lists are featured in Seattle Magazine and Seattle Met magazine and highlight clinicians from specialties such as oncology, pediatrics, family medicine, cardiology, emergency care, and infectious disease.

In each publication, those awarded top doctor status have been recognized through a peer-nomination or publication process for the passion, expertise, and commitment they bring to the care they provide. Working alongside each recognized Kaiser Permanente physician is a dedicated team of nurses, medical assistants, pharmacists, technicians, and specialists — all digitally connected to support patient care.

“It’s an honor to work among so many talented Kaiser Permanente Washington clinicians, and it is especially rewarding to see our providers recognized across so many specialties and locations,” said Linda Tolbert, MD, executive medical director of the Washington Permanente Medical Group. “We congratulate our Kaiser Permanente ‘Top Docs,’ and thank all of our practitioners for delivering the highest quality, patient-centered care.”
