Recognizing Excellence: Department of Medicine Faculty Named Top Doctors

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine has released its 2025 Top Doctors list, honoring exceptional physicians nominated by their peers. The magazine surveys doctors across the Twin Cities, asking who they would trust for their own care. A panel of physician experts then rigorously evaluates nominees based on merit, peer recognition, professional achievements, research contributions, and disciplinary history.

We are proud to congratulate the 36 Department of Medicine faculty members recognized across ten specialties this year. In total, 200 MHealth Fairview doctors received this prestigious honor.

“The people doing this [vaccine research and development] are... some of the most dedicated people I’ve ever worked with.”

This year's edition also spotlights Dr. William Stauffer, a distinguished professor in the Department of Medicine’s Division of Infectious Diseases and International Medicine. Dr. Stauffer shares his expert insights on the transformative power of vaccines, the serious public health risks posed by vaccine hesitancy, and the vital importance of sustained support for vaccine research, education, and advocacy.
