The Perfect Prescription

CMM readers select doctors known for expertise and compassion

When you’re feeling ill and want to see your doctor, the last thing you need to worry about is staying safe at the doctor’s office. You just want to explain your problem, answer questions, and hopefully find relief. The relationship between doctor and patient is one of trust that is seamlessly supported by a host of dedicated staff members, all playing a role in taking care of you.

In these days since COVID-19 reared its ugly head, your doctors and their staff have an added job of keeping you safe from exposure to the virus. As in hospitals, this protection comes with a myriad of safety measures, from taking temperatures at the entrance to medical buildings and offices, to spacing appointments to allow extra cleaning, to providing care through online or livestream options.

The Midlands is blessed with many fine physicians dedicated to providing the best of patient care in the safest manner possible. Columbia Metropolitan Magazine is pleased to provide Premier Physicians™ in this issue — the second time our readers have selected the ones whom they consider to be the finest doctors in the Midlands. Rather than using a list compiled by outside resources, we believe you, our readers, as patients, are the ultimate experts in this field.

We requested that our readers choose doctors based on quality of overall care, skill and expertise, convenience, availability for appointments, as well as bedside manner and compassion. Through this list, our readers are expressing their appreciation for the level of care they have received from our area’s doctors. 

Premier Physicians is intended to be a valuable resource for those in search of a doctor. This list is based purely on patient selections. Advertising in CMM is in no way connected to the selection of doctors listed in this issue. In addition to the many fine physicians listed, other excellent doctors in the Columbia area are not included. Make note of any doctors you would like to see on the 2021 list, and be sure to participate and voice your opinion when the Premier Physicians ballot is posted on ColumbiaMetro.com in April 2021.
