Nearly 70 University of Minnesota Health physicians recognized as "Top Doctors: Rising Stars" in 2018

March 14, 2018 | By Staff Writer

Nearly 70 University of Minnesota Health physicians have been honored as “Rising Stars” this year by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine.

On Wednesday, the magazine released the 2018 edition of “Top Doctors: Rising Stars,” an annual list of up-and-coming physicians who are making a mark in their fields. This year, 67 University of Minnesota Health doctors across 23 medical specialties were included in the list. Three doctors affiliated with University of Minnesota Physicians were also recognized. 

Scroll down for a complete list of our doctors named “Rising Stars” this year. 

To be selected by the magazine, “Rising Stars” candidates must be fully licensed and have been practicing in their specialty area for 10 years or less. Each physician named to the list was nominated by their peers in the field. All candidates are then evaluated on a variety of factors, including professional achievement, review by an expert physician panel, and individual disciplinary history.

This year, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine highlighted a total of 378 local physicians across many health systems. See the full list of University of Minnesota Health and University of Minnesota Physicians honorees below. Pediatric physicians are noted with * following their names.
