Seattle Met announces Top Doctors 2022

Each year Seattle Met magazine creates a list of the best healthcare professionals in the region. The list includes doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners in more than 80 specialties. From preventive care to life-altering procedures, the right specialist makes all the difference.

For this year's poll, Seattle Met magazine once again partnered with Professional Research Services to conduct the 17th annual peer-review survey in the Seattle area to determine 2022′s Top Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants. For the survey, medical and nursing professionals were asked to nominate up to five physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants per specialty that they deem the best within King, Snohomish, Kitsap and Pierce counties. (Note: practitioners are not allowed to vote for themselves.)
