Christiana Care ‘Top Doctors’ recognized across Delaware and the Philadelphia region

More than 240 physician members of Christiana Care’s Medical-Dental Staff — from about 60 specialties and subspecialties — were recognized in Delaware Today magazine’s 2017 “Top Doctors” issue published in October and in Philadelphia Magazine’s “Top Doctors” issue published in May.

“We are grateful to have many of the most extraordinarily talented, dedicated and skilled physicians in the country serving together at Christiana Care,” said Ken Silverstein, M.D., MBA, chief clinical officer at Christiana Care. “These recognitions reflect the positive impact they’re having on our community, and I know that there are so many more outstanding physicians here at Christiana Care who deserve to be on these lists.”

Gracing the cover of Delaware Today’s “Top Doctors” issue is Barbara Albani, M.D., medical director of Christiana Care’s Department of Neuro-Interventional Surgery. Also featured with profiles inside are Ray Blackwell, M.D., chief of cardiac surgery and W. Samuel Carpenter III Distinguished Chair of Cardiovascular Surgery, and Patricia Curtin, M.D., FACP, CMD, chief of  Geriatric Medicine.

The list below combines all of the physicians recognized in the Delaware Today and Philadelphia Magazine “Top Doctors” lists. No asterisk denotes Delaware Today, a single asterisk denotes Philadelphia Magazine, and two asterisks means that the physician appeared in both lists.
