38 OrthoCarolina physicians named to 2021 Top Doctor List

July 26th, 2021

Nominated by their peers, dozens of OrthoCarolina doctors were recognized as Charlotte Magazine’s Top Doctors for 2021.

Charlotte magazine published their annual Top Doctors list based on a survey by Castle Connolly. Castle Connolly surveys and evaluates each nominated physician on their professional qualifications, education, research leadership, professional reputation and more.

The physicians you encounter at OrthoCarolina are leaders in their field. At OrthoCarolina Research Institute (OCRI), it’s our mission to facilitate orthopedic research that advances patient care alongside care providers at OrthoCarolina. So, it’s no wonder so many of them were honored with the distinction as a Top Doctor.

Help us in congratulating the 38 OrthoCarolina physicians who made Charlotte Magazine’s 2021 Top Doctors List.
