Each year, Minnesota Monthly releases its list of Top Doctors, who are chosen based on medical expertise and peer nominations.

The Minnesota Monthly 2019 Top Doctors list includes 189 University of Minnesota Medical School faculty members.

Minnesota Monthly surveyed 10,000 licensed Minnesota doctors, who were asked to name three doctors other than themselves in each specialty category, and the doctors’ names that appear most frequently are recognized in the magazine.

“We are incredibly proud of our faculty who made this year’s list. They are a reflection of the outstanding work we are doing at the Medical School,” says U of M Medical School Dean Jakub Tolar, MD, PhD. “It is an honor to be acknowledged by our colleagues from across the state as the physicians to turn to for excellent care.”
