We approach our new year knowing that our first great undertaking will be our Top Doctors list. As you well may know, this list is our opportunity to call out the medical professionals in our community doing an exceptional job taking care of their neighbors. They work tirelessly in service of others, and it doesn’t always get recognized in the way it should. Cityview’s Top Doctors list is a chance for them to get the credit they deserve. In turn, it helps you, our readers, know who in the community you can turn to in times of need, who you can count on for excellent medical care.
To build this list every year, we call upon the doctors in our community to vote for their peers. They choose amongst themselves the ones who most deserve to be recognized each year. After all, they are the ones who know the medical community here the best.
Certain names show up year after year, a testament to their unending service to the community, but also a reminder that they’ve proven themselves to be trusted experts in their fields. Alongside them are new doctors who are stepping up to stand beside their mentors.
As always, we publish this list without rankings within each category. All have earned a place on the list, and you can be confident that any one of these doctors will take good care of you or your family.
Our sincere thanks to all of the doctors who voted in this year’s Top Doctors poll. We understand how much you already have on your plates, and the fact that you found time to help us make this list speaks volumes, both of you and the people you voted for. We could not have done this without you.
With that, Cityview presents the 2025 Top Doctors of East Tennessee.
