300 M Health Fairview physicians honored as doctors that doctors would trust

Each year, Minnesota Monthly asks Minnesota doctors who they would go to—or send a loved one to—for their own healthcare needs. The results inform the list of Minnesota’s Top Doctors.

We’re excited to announce that 300 M Health Fairview physicians across 87 medical specialties are included on the 2024 list. Our honorees include doctors from both Fairview and University of Minnesota Physicians who see patients at M Health Fairview clinics and hospitals.

“I am incredibly proud of the physicians who have been recognized as Top Doctors by their peers and by Minnesota Monthly,” said Jaya Kumar, MD, MBA, chief medical officer with Fairview Health Services. “Being trusted and recommended by fellow physicians speaks volumes about the expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence and providing excellent patient care. We are truly fortunate to have such outstanding professionals representing our organization.”

To compile its annual list, Minnesota Monthly asks thousands of licensed physicians from the 11-county Twin Cities metro area and Olmsted County who they would recommend if a loved one needed care; respondents can nominate up to three doctors other than themselves. The doctors named most often are selected for inclusion.

"These remarkable physicians care for patients from across our state, region and country," said Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, CEO of University of Minnesota Physicians, “Patients deserve the latest treatments and therapies, a kind and careful hand from the exam room to the operating room, and a healthcare home for life. They find all of it with these talented doctors, who provide an essential service to Minnesota.”
