East Cobb Resurgens Orthopaedics Physician Named Top Doctor by Atlanta Magazine

Dr. Steven B. Wertheim of the Windy Hill office of Resurgens Orthopaedics (2550 Windy Hill Road, Suite 317) — Georgia’s largest orthopaedic practice — was named to the 2013 list of Top Docs in the July issue of Atlanta magazine.

Seven additional Resurgens Orthopaedics physicians joined Dr. Wertheim in the prestigious listing: Drs. Erroll J. Bailey, Pallavi R. Cherukupally, Edward H. Holliger IV, Kenneth J. Kress, Robert A. Kelly, Douglas W. Lundy, and     Yvonne E. Satterwhite.

Resurgens co-president Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick said the practice is exceptionally honored to have eight physicians included on Atlanta magazine’s Top Doctors list. “It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized by our medical peers as a practice that gives its patients the utmost quality of care. Our physicians — both those honored as Top Docs and those who are not — come to the office each day with a commitment to excellence and individualized patient care,” she said.
