Every year, physicians are asked to nominate peers who they believe are the best, most trusted doctors in the region.We are proud to note that more Premier Orthopaedics physicians were named to the list than any other orthopaedic provider.

Two of the 61 physicians were named tops in Rheumatology, and eight were voted #1 in their specialty: Chester Simmons, M.D. – Hip & Knee; Larry Chou, M.D. – Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation; Charles Odgers IV, M.D. – Shoulder & Elbow; Mark Tantorski, D.O. – Spine; Kevin Walsh, M.D. – Sports Medicine, Non-Surgical; Michael Birns, M.D. – Sports Medicine, Surgical; R. Bruce Lutz, M.D. – Trauma; and Jennifer Kwan-Morley, M.D. – Rheumatology. David Yucha, M.D., was a Top Doc in two separate categories – Hip & Knee and Surgical Sports Medicine.
“I am proud that our organization is home to the most orthopaedic top docs on the Main Line,” says Jeffrey Malumed, M.D., President of Premier Orthopaedics. “Our physicians pride themselves on their dedication to their patients and the communities we serve. I appreciate that my colleagues across all medical specialties recognize our commitment to orthopaedic excellence and took the time to vote for us. This result is a team effort and I’d like to congratulate our clinical staff on such a good showing.”
