TOPDOCTORS
Each year, in our annual Top Doctors issue, Pasadena magazine honors the outstanding physicians in our community. Whether you’re stuck with the sniffles or suffering a more serious ailment, the Pasadena area is one of the best places to be as chances are there’s a world-class care provider just minutes away.
In this issue, leading physicians in various specialties from A (Adolescent Medicine) to V (Vascular Surgery) are recognized for their superior medical care. And who better to decide who has the best
bedside manner, among other qualifications, than their peers? Practicing physicians submitted their nominations for those they felt worthy of the title 2023 Pasadena Top Doctor.
In partnership with Professional Research Services, who conducted the peer-to-peer survey, we compiled a listing of those medical professionals for recognition. All Top Docs are vetted through the California Medical Association to ensure they are currently licensed and under no investigation or sanction. All qualifying doctors with unblemished records become a Pasadena Top Doctor. ➝
