Two Meritus doctors, including one based in Hagerstown, were recently named among Washingtonian Magazine’s Top Doctors for 2024, based on recommendations from other physicians.
Seemal Awan, M.D., with Meritus Allergy & Asthma Specialists in Bethesda, and Arish Noor, M.D., with Meritus Hematology & Oncology Specialists in Hagerstown, were among more than 2,100 doctors on the D.C.-area magazine’s annual list.
The magazine creates the list based on expert referrals. It sent ballots to more than 13,000 physicians and asked which of their peers they’d choose for their own family’s healthcare. The physicians were not allowed to name themselves or their practice partners.
“It is an honor to be selected by my peers as a Top Doctor,” Awan said. “This is a reflection of the quality care we strive to give at Meritus Allergy & Asthma Specialists.”
“This distinguished listing means a lot, knowing other doctors nominated those on the list,” Noor said. “I believe it is an example of living out the Meritus mission, which is to improve the health of the community.”
Washingtonian compiles the annual list as a “resource to help make any medical odyssey a little easier to navigate.”
“If your husband needed back surgery or your child suddenly had allergies or you noticed a suspicious mole, you’d want a good physician you could trust,” the magazine staff wrote in an introduction to the list. “To find that person, you might ask your primary-care doctor for a recommendation. After all, physicians see one another’s work and hear feedback from patients.”
