NEW LONDON, CT (May 2, 2022) Lawrence + Memorial Hospital affiliated physicians have been named among the state’s “Top Docs” in Connecticut magazine’s annual survey reported in its May 2022 issue.
Patrick L. Green, president and CEO of L+M, said the annual roster of the top physicians is always a chance to acknowledge the fine work of the hospital medial staff.
“Each year, it’s a source of pride to see so many of our doctors represented on the list,” he said. “We commend this year’s honorees. These outstanding doctors are examples of what I believe all L+M employees strive to give our patients – quality care and excellence.”
