Richmond magazine asked doctors throughout Central Virginia which medical professionals they would recommend to friends and family members and they answered loud and clear. They turn to the experts at CHoR for pediatric care.

An overwhelming 90 CHoR physicians made this year’s ‘2020 Top Docs’ list – some who have just started their careers in medicine and others who have been caring for kids for decades.

“Whether a child has a medical emergency or a chronic condition, families and providers throughout our region know they can count on our team,” said Elias Neujahr, CHoR CEO. “I’m grateful that these compassionate clinicians choose to share their passion and expertise with us, and I’m honored to work alongside them every day.”

Did your favorite doc make the list? Take a look below, or view the full list by picking up this month’s issue of Richmond magazine next time you make a grocery run.

We’re especially grateful for the exceptional skills, compassion and bravery of our entire team during these unprecedented times.
