The UNC Department of Urology is proud to announce that 14 of its faculty members have been named to the 2024 Castle Connolly Top Doctors list.

The Castle Connolly Top Doctors list is compiled through a rigorous screening process that involves peer nominations and assessments, followed by a thorough review of each physician’s qualifications, education, professional reputation, and disciplinary history. Castle Connolly’s goal is to identify the top physicians in each specialty and to provide patients with a reliable resource for finding the right doctor for their needs.

Kristy Borawski, Timothy Bukowski, Katherine Chan, Brad Figler, Matthew Nielsen, Mathew Raynor, Sherry Ross, Angela Smith, Richard Sutherland, Ray Tan, Davis Viprakasit, and Eric Wallen.

In addition to the faculty members, eight Joint/Adjunct Faculty members from the UNC Department of Urology also made the 2024 Castle Connolly Top Doctors list: Drs. Ethan Basch, Lester Borden, Matthew Coward, Cynthia Denu-Ciocca, Scott Macdiarmid, Matthew Milowsky, Tracy Rose, and Young Whang. These physicians work closely with the department to provide specialized care to patients and are recognized for their expertise and commitment to excellence.

The UNC Department of Urology is proud to have so many of its faculty members recognized by Castle Connolly as Top Doctors for 2024. Their dedication to providing exceptional patient care and advancing the field of urology is inspiring, and we congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition.
