Photos From Washingtonian’s 2024 Top Doctors Reception

Guests gathered at The Vault to celebrate the physicians on our 2024 Top Doctors list.

On February 26, 2025 three hundred guests gathered at the Watergate Hotel’s new space, The Vault, to celebrate the magazine’s 2024 Top Doctor honorees. Attendees enjoyed music, tasted decadent desserts and had the opportunity to appear on a faux digital custom Washingtonian magazine cover, courtesy of Washington Talent Agency.

The reception provided the opportunity for several of the region’s best physicians to network with peers, to reflect on their medical achievements, and to support the medical humanitarian assistance non-profit, Doctors Without Borders.
