At World Pediatric Project, we pride ourselves on the quality of care we provide to our pediatric patients throughout both domestic and international service areas. That care is largely performed by amazing medical volunteers who help to make medical miracles happen in the face of great adversity. These volunteers not only evaluate and diagnose complicated cases and perform life-changing surgeries, they also train local healthcare workers, develop healthcare infrastructure, systems and processes, and strengthen global networks and relationships. This level of capacity-building is vital to furthering our mission of improving the quality of life of children in under-resourced regions. It takes great communication, international collaboration, innovation, and expertise.

We are ecstatic to share that 21 of WPP’s volunteer physicians have been nominated by their peers and recognized as 2022 Richmond Top Docs, as published in Richmond Magazine’s prestigious annual list. Some were nominated in multiple categories, while others were top picks in their respective specialties. Our Top Docs represent 11 medical specialties, ranging from plastic surgery to orthopedics, urology to sports medicine, and cardiology to anesthesiology, to name a few. It’s safe to say that we have quality pediatric care covered because of the exceptional doctors who are generous with their time and talents, and who desire to make a difference in the lives of children in need. We look forward to sharing more about Richmond Mag’s Top Docs in the months to come.
