Once again, Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute cardiologists, Dr. Mark Urman and Dr. Arash Nayeri have been named Top Doctors by Los Angeles Magazine. This special recognition for our cardiologists appears in the April 2025 issue of Los Angeles Magazine.
Since 2018, Los Angeles Magazine partnered with Professional Research Services (PRS) in conducting a peer-review survey of all practicing and active physicians within Los Angeles county to vote for doctors they deem best in their field of practice. Dr. Urman has been named as one of the top cardiologists every year since this survey started in 2018.
For over a decade, Dr. Urman has been named by his peers to the Super Doctors® list which previously had been published in Los Angeles Magazine prior to the magazine doing its own separate Top Doctor list. Dr. Urman was listed in the Super Doctors® list for Southern California in a separate publication distributed with the Los Angeles Times in January every year since 2018. He has been named one of only 3 “industry favorite” cardiologists by The Hollywood Reporter, a U.S. News & World Report Top Doctor and has been a Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2011.
Since starting in practice in 2022, Dr. Nayeri has been quickly recognized in the community as a thoughtful, caring and exceptional cardiologist by his colleagues. Thus, it is no surprise that he has been named by his peers to the Southern California Super Doctors® Rising Stars list in 2023, 2024 and 2025, as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor Rising Star in 2024 and 2025 and as a Top Cardiologist in the Los Angeles Magazine Top Doctors list for 2024 and 2025.
