2023 “Top Doctors for Women” list recognizes 50+ M Health Fairview physicians
Healthcare that puts you first. We’re honored to announce that over 50 of our physicians were recognized by Minnesota Monthly on its annual list of “Top Doctors for Women.”
From gynecological oncology to family medicine to reconstructive surgery, our physicians are rising to meet the needs of patients, providing equitable care to all genders while tailoring their care to each person’s unique background and goals.
This year Minnesota Monthly recognized 57 of our physicians across 13 medical specialties as “Top Doctors for Women.” Our honorees include doctors from both Fairview and M Physicians who see patients at M Health Fairview clinics and hospitals.
“We’re proud to see these physicians’ dedication and compassion recognized,” said Mark Welton, MD, chief medical officer for Fairview Health Services. “Our Fairview and M Physicians doctors work tirelessly, treating each patient as an individual, not a condition, and taking the time to listen and understand before partnering on care.”
This year’s “Top Doctors for Women” honorees were chosen from among Minnesota Monthly’s 2022 “Top Doctors” list and were included in its January/February issue on Women’s Health and Wellness.
Each year, Minnesota Monthly asks thousands of licensed physicians from the 11-county Twin Cities metro area and Olmsted County: “If you or a loved one needed medical care, which doctor would you recommend?” Respondents can nominate up to three doctors other than themselves. The providers who are named most often by their peers are recognized as “Top Doctors.” In 2022, our system was home to more than 250 “Top Doctors,” more than any other health system statewide.
“Our goal is to bring responsive, high-quality, and accessible care to Minnesotans of all genders,” said Taj Mustapha, MD, chief equity strategy officer for M Health Fairview and associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at University of Minnesota Medical School. “It’s an honor to work alongside this year’s honorees and see the passion they bring to their work.”
