NEW YORK, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Mikhail Varshavski, the New Jersey-based family medicine physician and social media influencer known as "Dr. Mike," was honored on Tuesday with four Webby Awards, the top international awards for Internet excellence:

• Webby Winner: Social, Education & Discovery
• People's Voice Winner: Social, Education & Discovery
• People's Voice Winner: Social, Health & Fitness (Series & Campaigns)

Varshavski also received three People's Voice Awards, voted upon by viewers, for his YouTube channel and "Coronavirus Truth" playlist.

"It legitimizes the work we've been doing as a team, to put out accurate information during the most needed time -- this pandemic," Varshavski said of the awards, which were first presented in 1996. "With the rise of misinformation, people needed to hear a clear, honest voice on the subject, and I think these awards signify that not only the people believe in us, but the Webbies as well."
