Dr. David M. King and Dr. Jennifer Shu Appear in Atlanta Magazine’s July Issue
Two physicians from Children’s Medical Group, the oldest and largest privately held pediatric group in Georgia, rank among metro Atlanta’s Top Doctors in Atlanta magazine’s July Issue. The list, which annually honors notable physicians among the area’s healthcare landscape, features Dr. David M. King and Dr. Jennifer Shu.
“Our team’s commitment to high-quality, compassionate pediatric services and innovation remains unwavering,” says Dr. Kevin Colton, President of Children’s Medical Group. “This recognition echoes that dedication and inspires us to do the best we possibly can for little humans in need of trusted medical care.”
Atlanta magazine creates its list from a roster of doctors selected by Professional Research Service (PRS). More than 1,000 physicians appear on the publication’s 2026 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.
Dr. David M. King and Dr. Jennifer Shu are now accepting patients at the Atlanta and Decatur locations, respectively. To schedule an appointment, visit cmg-pc.com.
