Congratulations to the following National Spine & Pain Centers (NSPC) physicians who were recognized as “top doctors” in a recent issue of Northern Virginia Magazine:
- Dr. Virgil A. Balint, Reston office
- Dr. Abraham A. Cherrick, Arlington and Alexandria offices
- Dr. Marina G. Protopapas, Reston and Centreville offices
All three pain doctors were awarded the distinction for the third year in a row.
