Dr. Ravi Named a 2019 Castle Connolly Top Doctor

Dr. Ravi Somayazula's 2019 Top Doctor's Award
March 29, 2020

Dr. Ravi Somayazula, founder of Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Houston, has been named a Top Doctor® by Castle Connolly, the publisher of America’s Top Doctors®. This distinction is awarded to doctors who have been selected by their peers and thoroughly vetted by Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team, which reviews all nominee’s “medical educations, training, hospital appointments, disciplinary histories – and much more.”
