Today Lifespan announced that 194 physicians affiliated with its hospitals were among those honored in Rhode Island Monthly’s annual Top Docs list published in the magazine’s May 2023 edition.

The annual recognition highlights physicians from myriad specialties such as neurosurgery, cardiology, gynecological oncology, emergency care and infectious diseases. Those named as "Top Docs" were nominated and voted on by their peers.

“The fact that Lifespan has a ‘Top Doc’ in almost every one of the 48 medical specialties speaks to the talent and caliber of the physicians across our organization,” said Lifespan President and CEO John Fernandez.  “I am grateful for the amazing team of physicians at Lifespan and the outstanding care they provide to their patients.”
