When it comes to pediatric specialty care, Central Virginia turns to CHoR
Richmond magazine’s 2026 Top Docs issue has hit the newsstands – and it’s full of familiar names. To be specific, 93 CHoR physicians, advanced practice providers and specialty nurses were voted by their peers as the ones they’d recommend for care in their areas of expertise.
Our physician-in-chief and chair of the Department of Pediatrics, Dr. Karen Hendricks-Muñoz, has been a long-standing top doc in New York and a Richmond magazine Top Doc honoree since her arrival in Virginia 15 years ago.
“Wherever you turn at CHoR you’ll find outstanding physicians, spectacular in their specialties and benevolent at the bedside. We are committed to each other every day, and collaborative and caring with colleagues throughout the region and beyond to make sure we all are providing expert care in the best way possible for the children and their families who need us,” she said. “I’m in awe of the knowledge and compassion that comprise CHoR and thrilled to extend my deep congratulations to my Top Docs colleagues.”
