Kaiser Permanente among top doctors in Washington state

Seattle Met and Seattle magazines recognize more than 90 ‘Top Doctors’ from Washington Permanente Medical Group.

Kaiser Permanente Washington proudly celebrates its more than 90 clinicians recognized in this year’s regional “Top Doctors” lists, published annually by Seattle and Seattle Met magazines. They highlight doctors and nurse practitioners from specialties such as infectious disease, cardiology, dermatology, pediatrics, family medicine, and oncology.

Top doc status is awarded through a peer-nominated or publication process, acknowledging the passion, expertise, and commitment these clinicians bring to patient care. More than 400 Kaiser Permanente clinicians in Washington state have received this honor — many multiple times — since 2011.

“More than 90 of our physicians being named Top Doctors speaks to the level of skill, care, and forward-thinking practice our medical group brings to every patient interaction,” said Taejoon Ahn, MD, CEO and executive medical director of the Washington Permanente Medical Group. “Across a wide range of specialties and backed by advanced clinical tools, our physicians continue to set the bar for outcomes — ensuring our patients receive nothing less than exceptional care.”

“When our physicians hold themselves to such a high bar, our members feel the difference,” said Cynthia Dold, regional president of Kaiser Permanente Washington. “With our model for coordinated care and coverage, our members aren't just getting great individual care. They're getting a connected and consistent experience that supports them at every stage of their health journey.”

Congratulations to the Kaiser Permanente clinicians who received Top Doc recognition in Washington state magazines in 2026.
