UVA Medical. Teaching hospitals have the edge. Top 100? There is a company that will sell you the banners, etc, to make you a top 100 in whatever field you like. UVA ranks far higher than that. UVA attracts patients from all over the world. I would consider it a strong selling point for the area…
I have to say, I have never been to Augusta Medical Center – my previous surgeries have been done at UVa by staff from the Digestive Health Center, which is excellent.
