CHoR physicians, advanced practice providers and nurses named among Richmond’s best in 2025

95 CHoR clinicians listed in Richmond 

magazine’s latest Top Docs issue

Richmond magazine has published their annual Top Docs list and a whopping 95 of the honorees care for kids right here at CHoR! Doctors across Central Virginia were asked to name the medical providers they’d recommend to friends and family. For most pediatric specialty care, they turn to CHoR.

“CHoR’s representation on the annual Top Docs list is a reflection of the knowledge, passion and commitment our experts bring to kids each and every day,” said Dr. Karen Hendricks-Muñoz, interim physician-in-chief of CHoR and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at VCU School of Medicine and annual Top Doc awardee since 2012. “In addition to physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, this year’s list includes a nurse anesthetist and several nurses whom I’m privileged to work alongside in our NICU. I’m honored to call each person on this list a colleague and teammate in providing outstanding care for families and educating future pediatric physicians who undoubtedly will be difference makers for generations to come.”
