Two doctors from Málaga have been selected by the organizers of the Top Doctors Awards as members of the list of the top 50 doctors in private medicine in Spain for 2025, a highly prestigious recognition because it is the doctors themselves who assess the specialists in each area based on criteria of excellence in the development of their clinical activity at both national and international levels, as well as clinical, research, educational, and outreach skills.

Thus, the selected individuals are cardiologist Emilio González Cocina, who ranks number 10, and Dr. Gonzalo Sanz Pérez, a specialist in Urology.
