More than 240 physicians from VCU Health have been honored by Virginia Business in their 2025 Virginia's Top Doctors list, and we are proud to announce that three of them are from Family Medicine!

Dr. Giancarlo Pierantoni and Dr. Michael Pitzer, both physicians at VCU Health Primary Care at Mayland Medical Center in Richmond's West End, and Dr. Mark Ryan, a physician at Hayes E. Willis Health Center in Richmond's Southside, were nominated and chosen by their colleagues. Virginia Business compiled a list of almost 9,100 nominees from across 87 different medical specialties, and just 15.6% of these nominees made the final list of 1,423 honorees.

We'd also like to congratulate Dr. Bill Kerns, a faculty member at the VCU Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency and member of our Family Medicine Research Team, and Dr. Mike Petrizzi, a founding partner and residency director of Hanover Family Physicians, for their Virginia's Top Doctors honors as well.

Congratulations, Drs. Pierantoni, Pitzer, Ryan, Kerns, and Petrizzi!
