Congratulations to our 138 MAPMG physicians recognized in the April 2019 “Top Doctors” edition of the Virginia Living magazine.
Virginia Living’s Top Doctors 2019 is a comprehensive guide to over 1,000 of Virginia’s best medical professionals, nominated by their peers in the field. After partnering with a software and research company specializing in data collection, a research campaign was conducted consisting of a peer-voting process, and the referencing of various government and public sources. From this, Virginia Living created a composite score for each doctor, factoring in frequency of nomination, years of experience, and Board certification.
Your representation of Kaiser Permanente is inspiring, and your skills and care is recognized throughout the region, including by your peers. We would also like to thank every MAPMG physician and staff member for their relentless dedication to providing care to our members. As a result, we are able to boast of countless public recognitions, including that by Virginia Living magazine.
Our 138 physicians recognized this year is a substantial increase from 2018 when 18 MAPMG physicians were named as Top Doctors. See the full list below.
