TOP DOCTORS THE MEDICAL PROFESSION is filled with incredible individuals who enter their fields with a genuine desire to help others. We are fortunate to have so many of these compassionate and skilled professionals serving our region. When choosing a medical practitioner for ourselves or our loved ones, we seek empathy, competence, and honesty—qualities that inspire confidence and contribute to our well-being.

One of the most exciting aspects of the medical field is discovering which practitioners have gained the utmost respect from their peers. This is the purpose of our esteemed SRQ Top Doctors | Peer Review program. Through this initiative, we identify the doctors who have received overwhelming support from their colleagues in the medical communities of Greater Sarasota, including Palmetto, Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Venice and North Port, Florida. The Colorado-based team at DataJoe Research facilitates all aspects of the online peer-voting process and conducts background checks through government references. We are honored to share the results of this program.

We extend our gratitude to the doctors who participated by contributing their thoughtful nominations.

Their insights allow us to provide SRQ Magazine readers with this prestigious guide to the most highly-regarded doctors in the region.

METHODOLOGY DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the “Top Doctors” list, DataJoe Research facilitated an online peer-voting process, also referencing government sources. DataJoe then tallied the votes per category for each doctor to isolate the top nominees in each category. After collecting nominations and additional information, DataJoe checked and confirmed that each published winner had a current, active license status with the state regulatory board. If we were not able to find evidence of a doctor's current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that doctor was excluded from the list. In addition, any doctor who has been disciplined, up to the time-frame of our review process for an infraction by the state regulatory board, was excluded from the list. Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments.

JOHN LOURIÉ, MD

HONOREE Cardiology SPECIALTIES Cardiology: General and Interventional Internal Medicine Nuclear cardiology

Having lived in Charleston, SC as a child and then moving to the Midwest for high school, college and medical school, Dr. Lourié was always drawn back to the ocean. He graduated from DePauw University in Indiana in 1981 with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in biology with a minor in physics.

He completed his internal medicine internship and residency at Emory University in Atlanta in 1992. He specialized in interventional cardiology and nuclear cardiology, graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in 1995 where he met his wife. They then moved to Bradenton that same year. At age 32, Dr. Lourié was one of the youngest to be accepted as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology in 1996. He has been board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, interventional cardiology and nuclear cardiology. He has served on the local board of the American Heart Association and the Manatee Medical Society as well as numerous medical committees at both Manatee Memorial and Blake hospitals. He was the director of the cardiac cath lab at Blake Hospital for 12 years and was listed in Strathmore's Who's Who in America in 2000, named Doctor of the Year in 2004 and Consumers’ Research Council of America's Top Cardiologists in 2010.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE. Having witnessed the erosion of quality care in medicine and a push by corporate and insurance industries toward a one-size-fits-all care model known as "protocol-based care", I knew I could deliver better personal care. So in 2010, I developed our current concierge practice which places the focus on the personal needs of the patient: not the insurance company.

Our contract is between the patient and the doctor so we have been able to develop relationships with radiology centers, labs, pharmacies and specialists, etc. which allow much quicker access to service when needed. This is frequently achieved at a much lower price than it would cost through an insurance company without all the typical built-in delays and denials that people have become forced to accept through the traditional medical practice. We turn the standard medical practice of waiting until something is broken upside down by preventing our biggest health threats before they can strike. We actively look for and manage early stages of conditions to prevent diseases that can land you in the hospital which require invasive medical procedures and cost thousands of dollars to treat in an emergency. Our practice has been so successful that it has been at capacity for 8 years now.

WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? We deliver

what is now missing from most medical practices and certainly in hospital based care: excellent personal service, prompt appointments, and direct evaluation by your physician: not a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant. We routinely refer to the top medical centers in the US when someone's health depends on it. One of our primary goals is to keep people out of the hospital: and it works. We are focused on teaching people how to achieve and maintain health through lifestyle changes that have been proven to prevent strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer and dementia.

We are on the cutting edge of medical technology with the latest being Inspire, a mask-free treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This innovative device truly gives patients the freedom to pursue their dreams. I am driven by a “patients first” philosophy and desire to listen. I have an exceptional team that provides personal and professional care from the very first phone call through their entire experience. We have a thriving audiology and hearing aid practice staffed by the best audiologist I have ever worked with, Jennifer Duncan, AuD.

who specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of adult and pediatric ear, nose, and throat problems.

He graduated with distinction with his Grayscale Bachelor Color of Arts and medical degree at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine in 1997.

He then completed a general surgery internship at St. Louis University Health Sciences Center and an otolaryngology residency at the University of Tennessee–Memphis Health Science Center in 2003.

After residency, he practiced as an otolaryngologist in Kansas City before he and his family moved to sunny Sarasota in 2013. Dr. Marrs always aspired to open his own private practice. Family, friends, and patients were thrilled as dreams became reality with the opening of Marrs Ear, Nose and Throat in the summer of 2023. In just a matter of months Dr. Marrs realized his practice had outgrown his new space due to his patient base covering the entire Gulf Coast. He is excited to announce that Marrs Ear, Nose and Throat will be relocating in late 2024 to a beautifully designed office at 5310 Clark Rd, Suite 102, conveniently located just west of I-75 at the crosssection of Clark and Honore. In his spare time, Dr. Marrs enjoys spending time with his family exploring the sun and sands of Forida after spending his life landlocked. He enjoys smoking meats harkening back to his Kansas City days, watching his favorite sports teams, collecting animation art, and enjoying some fine dark chocolate.

family and then being an advocate for many family members seeking medical care, I truly understand both sides of medicine.

In medical school we are taught that the history a patient gives provides us with the best guide to their diagnosis, which is why I reiterate the importance of listening to my patients. I also cannot overstate how important my staff are to my practice because they truly are the backbone of Marrs ENT and many times what my patients rave about the most.
