It’s time for our annual look back at the 10 most-read stories on PotomacLocalNews.com.
This year, we’ve got everything from The Washington Redskins, er, The Washington Football Team, multiple stories about the town of Dumfries’ conversion of a pass-through place to a gaming destination, and a tale of a woman who sued the DMV over what she called a misleading letter.
From my point of view, the list is impressive, covering a diverse number of topics that affected our region this year.
The most-read list contained mostly stories and shootings and car crash in years past. While we’ve seen our fair share of those in 2021, unfortunately. However, this year’s list shows us that you value the critical community reporting are at PLN.
I wish you and your family all the best in 2022. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and productive New Year.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up.

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
