Top pediatric doctors practice at CHoR

The Top Docs in Richmond for 2024 have been named by Richmond magazine. The list is published each year, highlighting the providers across the gamut of medical specialties that Central Virginia doctors would recommend to their own family and friends. Once again, CHoR is well represented!

“Thousands of families turn to CHoR each year to care for their children’s common and not-so-common health care needs, and for good reason. Our pediatric specialists have the extensive training, experience, passion and compassion needed to help kids heal, recover, grow and thrive,” said Dr. Shari Barkin, physician-in-chief of CHoR and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at VCU School of Medicine. “Congratulations to the 95 CHoR physicians and advanced practice providers, and all of the providers, who were named to this year’s Top Docs list. Richmond is a flourishing medical community thanks to experts like these leading the way.”
