Our 200+ Top Doctors bring world-class care to Minnesota communities
Compassionate care. Clinical innovation. The best in academic medicine. Our Top Doctors bring this and more to the communities they serve.
Mpls.St.Paul Magazine named 206 of our physicians across 60 specialties to its 2022 Top Doctors list, the most of any health system statewide. Our honorees include doctors from both Fairview and M Physicians who see patients at M Health Fairview clinics and hospitals.
Top Doctors are nominated by their fellow physicians, who are asked which doctors they would choose if they or a loved one were seeking care. Candidates are then evaluated on several factors including professional achievement, peer recognition, research, and disciplinary history. The physicians who perform best on the survey, research, and review by a blue-ribbon panel are named to the list.
“Our Top Doctors were honored after rigorous review and have stood out as some of the best physicians in the state,” said Fairview Chief Medical Officer Mark Welton, MD, MHCM. “This recognizes the fact that our doctors are bringing world-class care to the countless communities we serve, from downtown Minneapolis to greater Minnesota.”
“These physicians, with their commitment to bring leading, academic medicine to Minnesota's patients, embody what it means to care for a patient– the whole patient,” said Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, Vice Dean of Clinical Affairs at the University of Minnesota Medical School and CEO of M Physicians. “It's part of what helps us to recruit the best from all corners of the country to practice right here in Minnesota.”
