More than 200 VCU Health clinicians voted Top Docs in Richmond

Richmond Magazine has published its annual list of top providers in the Richmond area. Two hundred eleven VCU Health clinicians have been named to this year’s list – with 18 listed as Top Docs in multiple specialties. This recognition is a testament to the compassionate and quality care our clinicians provide to our patients, even as they battle a deadly pandemic.

The below 211 providers were chosen by their peers and provide care across a wide range of specialties, including at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, Massey Cancer Center, Hume-Lee Transplant Center and Pauley Heart Center.

The VCU Health language services team was also featured for their lifesaving work, particularly as they adapted and navigated barriers during COVID-19.

Congratulations to this year’s Top Docs!
