Photos From Washingtonian’s 2025 Top Doctors Reception

On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, medical professionals from Washingtonian’s 2025 Top Doctors list gathered with colleagues and friends to celebrate their dedication to the DMV community. The annual list recognizes many of the Washington area’s top physicians, as selected by their peers.

This year’s lively cocktail reception, held at Barbouzard, featured French Mediterranean bites, cocktails, and a live DJ from Mixing Maryland, who kept the energy high throughout the evening. A highlight for many guests was capturing their photo at Washingtonian’s highly sought-after Top Doctors cover photo station.

Washingtonian President and CEO Cathy Merrill shared brief remarks, thanking the doctors for their continued commitment to the region and recognizing the evening’s sponsors, The Embassy of the State of Qatar and UnitedHealth Group. She also acknowledged the event’s support of Doctors Without Borders, a global humanitarian organization that delivers medical care to people in crisis based solely on need.

Thank you to our sponsors, The Embassy of the State of Qatar and UnitedHealth Group, for making the evening possible.
