If you’re looking for top-notch care, here’s a great place to start: Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s 2019 Top Doctors list.
Each year, the magazine publishes a comprehensive lineup of top doctors in the Twin Cities as voted on by their peers. And year after year, our doctors continue to rank among the best.
This year, we’re proud to announce that 151 University of Minnesota Health doctors representing 44 specialties were included in the list.
Top Doctors are nominated by fellow physicians, who are asked which doctors they would choose if they or a loved one were seeking medical care. From there, candidates are grouped into 45 specialties and evaluated on many factors including peer recognition, professional achievement, extensive research and disciplinary history. Each year, the doctors who acquired the highest total points from the surveys, research and the expert physician review panel are named Top Docs.
“This is a tremendous honor for each of the physicians selected by their peers as Top Doctors,” said Badrinath Konety, MD, MBA, CEO, University of Minnesota Physicians and Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs, University of Minnesota Medical School. “We are proud of this recognition as a reflection of our commitment to provide the best possible care and continue to be a healthcare leader across the region.”
