Board-certified dermatologist recognized for excellence in patient care and leadership in dermatology
BEND, Ore., March 17, 2026 – Joshua May, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Bend Dermatology Clinic, has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, a prestigious national recognition awarded to physicians who demonstrate outstanding clinical expertise and are highly respected by their peers.
The Castle Connolly Top Doctor designation is determined through a rigorous and independent selection process. Physicians are nominated by fellow doctors and healthcare professionals and are then carefully evaluated by Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team. The review process considers a physician’s education and training, professional achievements, hospital and academic appointments, research contributions, leadership in their specialty, and professional reputation. Only a small percentage of physicians nationwide are selected each year, making the recognition a trusted indicator of excellence in healthcare.
Dr. May provides comprehensive dermatologic care at Bend Dermatology Clinic’s East Bend Main, Redmond, and Klamath Falls locations, treating a wide range of medical skin conditions and helping patients maintain healthy skin throughout every stage of life.
Dr. May’s interest in medicine began early, growing up in a family of physicians with both his father and brother working in the field. His passion for dermatology developed during his college years when he worked alongside a dermatologist in his hometown and discovered how the skin can serve as a window into what is happening within the body. That experience sparked a lasting fascination with dermatology and the science of medicine.
Today, Dr. May is known for his commitment to both patient care and advancing the field of dermatology. He has been invited to speak at multiple national dermatology meetings and has authored several publications focused on dermatologic diseases and treatments.
His perspective on patient care has also been shaped by international volunteer medical work. Through medical mission trips to Kenya and Guatemala, Dr. May gained valuable insight into the importance of listening carefully to patients and tailoring treatment plans to their individual needs.
Dr. May’s selection as a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor reflects his dedication to clinical excellence, research, and compassionate patient care for communities across Central and Southern Oregon.
