Twenty-one physicians at Virginia Cancer Specialists have been named to the Washingtonian “Top Doctors” Hall of Fame. The practice announced it from Fairfax on June 17.
The Hall of Fame is for doctors their peers have picked as among the region’s best, again and again. Each of the 21 has appeared repeatedly on the magazine’s Top Doctors list.
“We are incredibly proud of our physicians who have achieved this remarkable recognition,” said Ann Miner, the practice’s executive director. She said the honor reflects the trust and respect the doctors have earned from colleagues and from patients. Miner also pointed to the staff: “Every day, our physicians and staff are committed to advancing cancer care through innovation, research, and a deeply patient-centered approach.”
The practice behind the doctors
Virginia Cancer Specialists is the largest private cancer practice in Northern Virginia. Castle Connolly Top Doctors has ranked it the number one physician practice in Virginia, in cancer care and across all medical specialties, for three years running, from 2024 to 2026.
It runs its own research institute and says it holds the largest clinical trials portfolio in the Mid-Atlantic. A joint venture with NEXT Oncology in Fairfax supplies a dedicated facility for Phase I trials and later-stage studies.
Patients can get medical oncology, radiation oncology, musculoskeletal tumor surgery, breast surgery and thoracic surgery there. The practice also lists genetic counseling, financial counseling, an onsite laboratory and pharmacy, language services, telehealth and a nurse advice line.
The practice belongs to The US Oncology Network, which links more than 600 sites of care in 31 states and 2,700 affiliated physicians. A 2024 partnership with the Sara Cannon Research Institute opened access to hundreds of additional clinical studies. That institute has played a role in more than 100 FDA-approved cancer therapies. McKesson supports the network.
Anyone weighing treatment options should talk to their doctor about which specialists and clinical trials fit their own diagnosis.
