181 U.Va. Doctors Selected for ‘Best Doctors in America’ List

The University of Virginia Health System had 181 physicians honored in the 2014 “Best Doctors in America List” by Best Doctors Inc., announced Monday.

The list is based on a survey of more than 45,000 U.S. physicians who have been named to previous editions of Best Doctors in America. Participating doctors are asked: “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?” The survey results are then reviewed by Best Doctors Inc., before the final list is assembled.

“Being selected for this honor by experts from across the country is a reflection of the expert care our physicians provide collaboratively with clinicians from across the Health System,“ said Dr. Richard P. Shannon, executive vice president for health affairs at the U.Va. Health System.

The U.Va. physicians named to the 2014 list are featured below in alphabetical order. U.Va. Health System’s Find a Doctor directory includes more information about the doctors named to this year’s Best Doctors list.
