RISING STARS: 13 HOT DOCS UNDER 40
Eighteenth-century author Dr. Samuel Johnson once wrote, "Men are wise in proportion not to their experience but to their capacity for experience."

In that spirit, we asked some of Baltimore’s most respected physicians to name the up-and-coming practitioners who will be at the top of their chosen specialties in the next 5 to 10 years. The result: 13 new kids on the block, ages 40 and under, who are making names for themselves in a range of fields, from family medicine to pediatric ophthalmology.

If you’re in the market for a physician, you might give these rising stars a try. For one thing, they can age with you (if you’re going to a 65-year-old physician and you’re 40, you’re going to be changing docs soon). And the young docs will definitely value your patronage. After a decade of borrowing to pay for schooling, they need the money.
