June 17, Fairfax, Virginia: Virginia Cancer Specialists announced that 21 of its physicians had been named to the Washingtonian “Top Doctors” Hall of Fame.
The announcement says the honor is reserved for physicians whom their peers have consistently recognized as among the region’s best. Each of the 21 has earned repeated recognition on the magazine’s Top Doctors list.
Ann Miner, the practice’s executive director, called the recognition “remarkable” and said the practice was “incredibly proud.” In her words, the honor reflects the trust and respect the doctors have earned from peers and patients. She added that every day, physicians and staff are committed to “advancing cancer care through innovation, research, and a deeply patient-centered approach.”
Rankings and research
The practice describes itself as the largest private cancer practice in Northern Virginia. Castle Connolly Top Doctors has ranked it first among Virginia physician practices, in cancer care and across every medical specialty, for three years running (2024-2026).
Its research arm, the Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute, anchors what the practice says is the largest clinical trials portfolio in the Mid-Atlantic. A joint venture with Fairfax’s NEXT Oncology provides a dedicated research facility for Phase I trials and later-stage studies.
Network ties
Virginia Cancer Specialists belongs to The US Oncology Network, which is supported by McKesson. The network brings together more than 600 sites of care in 31 states, 2,700 affiliated physicians, and data from thousands of patients in cancer clinical trials nationwide.
In 2024 the practice formed a partnership with the Sara Cannon Research Institute. The practice says that opens access to hundreds of additional clinical studies, extends care to more patients and has played a role in more than 100 FDA-approved cancer therapies.
The practice offers medical oncology, radiation oncology, musculoskeletal tumor surgery, breast surgery and thoracic surgery. Patients can also use genetic counseling, financial counseling, telehealth and a nurse advice line, plus an onsite laboratory and pharmacy.
