“It’s encouraging to know that so many of our physicians are highly regarded by their peers,” said Dr. Greg McCarty, Chief Medical Officer, Pardee UNC Health Care. “This recognition is a great privilege, and our community is fortunate to have these wonderful doctors who are committed to improving the lives of the people we serve.”

It also gives those seeking medical services a place to find trustworthy and highly regarded providers in their community.
