Dr. Edward H. Holliger IV of Resurgens Orthopaedics named a Top Doctor by Atlanta magazine for fourth consecutive year

Dr. Edward H. Holliger IV of the Cumming office of Resurgens Orthopaedics — Georgia’s largest orthopaedic practice — was recently honored with a prestigious award for medical performance both locally and nationally. Atlanta magazine named him a 2015 Top Doctor in its July issue.

Twelve additional Resurgens Orthopaedics physicians joined Dr. Holliger as Top Doctor honorees: Erroll J. Bailey, Douglas W. Lundy, Milan Patel, Robert A. Kelly, Yvonne E. Satterwhite and Steven B. Wertheim were named to Atlanta magazine’s list while Drs. Roderica E. Cottrell, Tapan K. Daftari, Robert T. Greenfield, Scott A. Kelly, Philip G. Ploska and Byron D. Rosenstein were included in the prestigious physician listing by Castle Connolly healthcare research company.

The Top Doctors listing is compiled annually by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. — an established healthcare research company based in New York. The organization also compiles Atlanta magazine’s list of Top Doctors annually. Doctors are nominated for consideration through both a nationwide survey and a peer nomination process open to licensed physicians in DeKalb, Fulton, Cobb, Clayton and Gwinnett 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.

Dr. Lundy, Resurgens Orthopaedics’ Co-President, said the practice is honored to have so many of its physicians recognized as Top Doctors.

“It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized by our medical peers as a practice that provides its patients with an exceptional level of care,” Lundy said. “Our physicians — both those honored as Top Doctors and those who are not — consistently demonstrate their commitment to excellence through their outstanding individualized patient care. The fact that we had more doctors recognized this year than last year shows the increasing respect that our practice continues to gain in the medical community and beyond.”

Resurgens’ board of directors and colleagues recognize these physicians for their continued dedication to the practice and for their superb patient care.
