nationally and internationally recognized quality
Dr. Mitchell Shiffman, our liver specialist and expert on the treatment and care of liver diseases in Virginia and his medical team have an extraordinary reputation for helping patients living with hepatitis C, hepatitis B, fatty liver disease, liver cancer and primary biliary liver cirrhosis, as well as other diseases of the liver.
As an internationally recognized authority on liver diseases and liver health, Dr. Shiffman is ranked among the top liver specialists in the country by his peers. He was recently selected by his peers as one of the 2011-2012 Best Doctors in America. This distinction honors him as one of the top clinicians in the Hampton Roads and Richmond area and as one of the top hepatologists in Virginia. In addition to this recognition, Dr. Shiffman was ranked among the top 1% of gastroenterologists in the United States by U.S. News & World Report peer-endorsed rankings.
Physicians are not the only ones with praise for the Liver Institute of Virginia. Dr. Shiffman was recently honored with a "Patients' Choice" award from MDx Medical, Inc. due to his near perfect scores on online patient review websites. Patients gave Dr. Shiffman outstandingly high scores for his delivery of care, including his bedside manner, the amount of doctor-patient face time received, the quality of follow-up care, ease of appointment setting, and the courtesy of the Liver Institute's office staff. While physicians generally receive positive feedback from patients, only a select few consistently receive rave reviews, and only 5% of the nation's 720,000 active physicians received this recognition in 2011.
