This year, Minnesota Monthly Magazine has listed 236 University of Minnesota Physicians (M Physicians) doctors as Top Doctors for 2023, spanning 70 different specialities. 

Every year, the magazine asks each physician in the Twin Cities and Rochester areas, “If you or a loved one needed medical care, which doctor would you recommend?” Peer physicians vote on the top responses, who are then honored on the list. 

"The commitment of these outstanding physicians to connect patients with academic medicine is something remarkable," said Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, CEO of M Physicians and Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs at the University of Minnesota Medical School. "They are the ones who study, investigate and innovate care and treatment at every turn, and they bring it right to each patient in their care."

Over one in four of the 842 doctors named to the 2023 list care for Minnesotans with M Physicians.
