“Being named to the Hall of Fame speaks not only to their clinical expertise but also to the trust and respect they have earned from their peers and patients alike.” That is how Ann Miner, executive director of Virginia Cancer Specialists, described the news that 21 of the practice’s physicians now sit in the Washingtonian “Top Doctors” Hall of Fame.
The practice, based in Fairfax, Virginia, made the announcement on June 17.
So what does the Hall of Fame mean in plain terms? Washingtonian publishes a Top Doctors list built on recognition from other physicians. Doctors who show up on it repeatedly earn a place in the Hall of Fame, which the practice describes as an honor reserved for an elite group whom peers consistently rank among the region’s best.
Miner gave the credit to the whole operation. The acknowledgment, she said, is “a testament not to any one individual, but to the dedication of our entire team.”
A large practice with a long list of services
Virginia Cancer Specialists calls itself the largest private cancer practice in Northern Virginia. Castle Connolly Top Doctors has named it the number one physician practice in Virginia, for cancer care and across all specialties, three years running from 2024 to 2026.
It also runs a research institute and reports the largest clinical trials portfolio in the Mid-Atlantic. Through a joint venture with NEXT Oncology in Fairfax, it has a dedicated site for Phase I trials as well as later-stage studies.
The services list is long: medical and radiation oncology, musculoskeletal tumor surgery, breast surgery, thoracic surgery, genetic counseling and financial counseling. On the practical side, there is an onsite lab and pharmacy, language services, telehealth and a nurse advice line.
The practice is part of The US Oncology Network, which ties together more than 600 sites of care across 31 states and 2,700 affiliated physicians. Its 2024 partnership with the Sara Cannon Research Institute opens the door to hundreds of additional clinical studies and has played a role in more than 100 FDA-approved cancer therapies, according to the announcement.
