Virginia Business: Virginia's Top Doctors
By Richard Foster
Peers recognize 2024’s top physicians across 60 specialties
There are certainly many professionals who help people through personal or family crises, but no other provides direct aid to us from cradle to grave in the same way as medical doctors.
Whether it’s to deliver your first child or treat a loved one with cancer, choosing a doctor can be a monumental decision. And with four major medical schools statewide, Virginia is home to a host of talented physicians deserving of recognition for their achievements in research and treatment.
In compiling this inaugural edition of Virginia’s Top Doctors, Virginia Business contacted more than 10,000 medical professionals through a variety of outreach methods, including via health systems and medical associations. Virginia Business contracted with Colorado-based media research and analytics firm DataJoe to conduct balloting. Casting their ballots on a website that was available only during a monthlong voting period, physicians were asked to identify which of their peers were the top doctors across 60 categories of medical specialties.
This year’s Top Doctors specialty categories include a total of 1,163 doctors, 18.3% of the 6,366 doctors who were nominated by their peers this year. Additionally, Virginia Business’ editors chose representatives from 15 medical specialties to highlight in brief Q&A profiles. Based on input from physicians and health systems to this first balloting, Virginia Business plans to expand categories for next year, including a wider range of pediatric specialties.
