Seventeen Georgia Urology physicians receive Top Doctors honors in Atlanta

ATLANTA, July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Seventeen physicians from Georgia Urology ­– the largest urology practice in the Southeast­ – rank among metro Atlanta's Top Doctors in Atlanta magazine's July issue. Half of the physicians in the publication's urology category and all of the physicians in the pediatric urology category come from this one practice.

Those physicians are: Drs. Roosevelt Allen, David Banks, Carl Capelouto, Darrell Carmen, Bert Chen, Walter Falconer, Allen Futral, Lawrence Goldstone, Mark Haber, Charles Kaplan, Andrew Kirsch, A. Keith Levinson, Scott Miller, Hal Scherz, Fred Shessel, Edwin Smith, and Barry Zisholtz. These doctors represent approximately 40 percent of Georgia Urology's practice.

Atlanta magazine uses a database of top doctors compiled by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., an established healthcare research company based in New York, to assist in its annual effort. This year, the publication honors 720 physicians. Doctors are nominated for consideration through both a nationwide survey and a peer nomination process open to licensed physicians in metro Atlanta counties. Castle Connolly's physician-led team of researchers then select the Top Doctors through a rigorous screening process that includes an evaluation of educational and professional experience.

According to Dr. Haber, Georgia Urology's managing partner, the significance of the honor provides both confirmation and motivation.

"At Georgia Urology, we always set our sights on forging a reputation as a top-tier practice in the region," Dr. Haber said. "The fact so many of our physicians are on this list really speaks to that. At the same time, it's incredibly inspirational to receive this type of recognition. It only fuels our passion to take patient care to the next level."

Georgia Urology is the largest urology practice in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast. Georgia Urology has 30 locations and six ambulatory surgery centers. The practice is comprised of more than 43 physicians, many of whom are fellowship-trained and hold advanced specialty training in oncology, laparoscopy, infertility, incontinence, and pediatrics. Georgia Urology's physicians use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and advanced treatment techniques, including robot-assisted technology and minimally invasive procedures, to manage all urological problems in men, women, and children. It is the practice's mission to deliver the highest possible quality of care to all patients and to be the preeminent urology practice in the region.
