Eighteen physicians from Eye Consultants of Atlanta –the largest ophthalmology practice in Georgia– rank among metro Atlanta’s Top Doctors in Atlanta magazine’s July issue.

Eye Consultants of Atlanta is the practice with the most physicians awarded in the ophthalmology category.
Atlanta magazine creates its list from a roster of doctors selected by Professional Research Service (PRS). More than 1,200 physicians appear on the publication’s 2024 list. These doctors represent the following counties in Georgia: Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, and Rockdale. PRS creates its list by conducting an online peer-review survey of physicians in the metro Atlanta area. Physicians are asked to nominate fellow physicians they deem the best in their field of practice. Many votes were cast honoring excellence in all fields of medicine. The featured doctors were screened and selected through the verification of licensing and review of any infractions through applicable boards, agencies, and rating services.
“We congratulate our exceptional physicians for their outstanding achievement in being recognized on Atlanta magazine’s Top Doctors list,” says Dr. Evan S. Loft, president of Eye Consultants of Atlanta. “Their recognition highlights their expertise, dedication, and commitment to delivering top-tier care. We are privileged to collaborate with such esteemed professionals who consistently pursue excellence and provide a positive impact on the community.”
