United Digestive, the nation's largest gastroenterology-focused provider platform in the Southeast, proudly announces that 59 of its physicians have earned a combined 85 individual "Top Doctor" and "Best Of" accolades for 2025, a record high for the organization. This recognition spans prestigious awards from Castle Connolly, Atlanta Magazine, Naples Illustrated, Savannah Magazine, and numerous other regional and community publications.

United Digestive's largest partner practice, Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates (AGA), was also named, based on the number of Top Doctor recognitions awarded, the third-highest ranking physician practice for gastroenterology in the U.S. by Castle Connolly and first in Georgia. Additionally, AGA received eight "Best Of" practice, clinic, and ambulatory surgery center awards from Newsweek, U.S News & Health, and local publications such as My Alpharetta, My Druid Hills, Best Self Atlanta, and Best of Gwinnett.

Fellow United Digestive partner practices DeKalb Gastroenterology Associates and The Center for Digestive & Liver Health also tied for third place in Castle Connolly's Georgia rankings, highlighting the consistent clinical excellence across United Digestive's regional footprint.
