Proud moment for Tufts Medicine — Boston Magazine released its Top Doctors™ 2026 list, and it’s amazing to see Tufts Medicine physicians recognized across so many specialties.

What makes this personal for me is during my externship at MelroseWakefield Hospital, I had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Alla Goldburt, Dr. Patricia A. Sereno, and Dr. Lieu T. Tran. Seeing their impact up close reminded me why great medicine is never just clinical excellence. It’s clinical excellence plus the operational foundation that supports it.

The biggest thing I’m grateful for is what I learned from watching strong physician leadership in action.

One, how trust is built in the smallest moments: tone, clarity, follow-through, and consistency.

Two, how patient-centered care depends on “invisible systems”: scheduling flow, communication loops, documentation discipline, and team alignment.

Three, how the best leaders raise the bar without making people feel small. They teach, mentor, and keep the room calm.

This experience reinforced why I’m passionate about healthcare operations. When workflows are designed well, teams can focus on care, patients move through the system with less friction, and quality becomes easier to sustain, not harder.

Congratulations to all the physicians recognized on the 2026 list, and I’m especially grateful for the chance to learn from the kind of leadership that sets the standard every day.
