Seventeen School of Medicine Faculty Make the Grade in Baltimore Magazine's 2009 Top Doctors Survey

Seventeen University of Maryland School of Medicine Doctors have made Baltimore Magazine's 2009 "Top Doctors" List.

Dr. Anthony Gaspari, professor and chair of the Department of Dermatology was highlighted in a special profile in the Top Doctors feature called "Saving Tree Man: A University of Maryland doc unravels the mystery of an Indonesian villager's bark-like skin."

The results of the Top Doctors cover story are based on a Baltimore Magazine survey of more than 2,000 randomly selected physicians in the Baltimore area -- including Baltimore City and the surrounding five counties -- asking where they would send a member of their family in each of 76 specialties.
