Philadelphia magazine recently published its annual list of the region's "Top Doctors." The list of physicians, who were chosen by their peers, can be found in the May issue of the magazine.
The issue also features essays by two Drexel University College of Medicine faculty members. Assistant Professor of Medicine Kevin F. D’Mello, MD, writes about the need to be honest about making mistakes, and Assistant Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology Damien Croft, MD, MPH, writes about the need to have empathy for the realities patients are facing.
