More Resurgens Physicians Named in Respected Reference Guide Than Any Other Metro Atlanta Practice

Six Resurgens Orthopaedics physicians were recently named among Metro Atlanta's Top Doctors in the third edition of Consumer Checkbook's Consumers Guide to Top Doctors, one of the top medical reference guides in the country.       

Drs. Steven Wertheim, Lawrence Bircoll, David Covall, Kenneth Kress, Drew Miller, and Byron Rosenstein were featured.

The guide named a total of 27 doctors, giving Resurgens nearly a fourth of all top orthopaedic physicians in the area. 

"Our physicians are committed to giving patients the highest quality of care," said Resurgens co-president Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick. "It's nice to have that commitment to excellence recognized by other physicians."

Consumer Checkbook surveyed roughly 340,000 physicians nationwide, including in Metro Atlanta. All active, office-based doctors on the American Medical Association (AMA) mailing list were included in the survey. The AMA list is a comprehensive list, which includes both AMA members and doctors who are not AMA members.

Each doctor surveyed was asked to choose one or two specialists, in each of 35 different specialty fields, that he or she "would consider most desirable for care of a loved one."

The list of doctors contains the names of physicians who were mentioned multiple times by other physicians in their communities.

Resurgens Orthopaedics, Georgia's largest orthopaedic practice, has 20 offices and six surgery centers throughout metro Atlanta. With 90 physicians, Resurgens provides specialized expertise and broad experience in the areas of sports medicine, joint replacement, neck and back surgery, foot and ankle surgery, non-operative spine care, general orthopaedics, hand surgery, arthroscopic surgery, epidural steroid injection, and trauma care.
