CHoR providers named top medical providers throughout Central Virginia 

What doctors would you recommend to family and friends? Ever wonder what your own doctors would say? Each year Richmond magazine asks this question to medical providers throughout Central Virginia and, once again, they named CHoR providers at the top of the list.

A record 93 CHoR providers made this year’s Top Docs list – a testament to the caring expertise they devote to each child they serve.

“The medical professionals at CHoR are without a doubt among the best. I could not be prouder of the family-focused care they deliver, life-changing research they conduct and hands-on education they provide the to the next generation of pediatric experts,” said Elias Neujahr, CHoR CEO. “This year they had the extra wrinkle of a global pandemic – and they didn’t miss a beat.”

The VCU Health language services team was also featured for their important work, particularly during the pandemic.

See below to find out if your CHoR favorites made this year’s list. Pick up the April issue of Richmond magazine to find out all the area providers who were named tops in 2021.
