Every year, Minnesota Monthly Magazine asks physicians across Minnesota, “If you or a loved one needed medical care, which doctor would you recommend?” These physicians may nominate up to three of their peers in each specialty, and the top responses are honored on the magazine’s Top Doctors list.

Minnesota Monthly’s 2024 Top Doctors List recognizes 280 doctors with University of Minnesota Physicians (M Physicians) across 86 specialties for their professional expertise and exceptional care.

"These remarkable physicians care for patients from across our state, region and country," said Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, CEO of University of Minnesota Physicians, “Patients deserve the latest treatments and therapies, a kind and careful hand from the exam room to the operating room, and a healthcare home for life. They find all of it with these talented doctors, who provide an essential service to Minnesota.”

This year, over one in four doctors nominated to the Top Doctors list care for Minnesotans with M Physicians.

“It's one thing for peers to recognize our people as among the best at what they do," said Holly Boyer, MD, M Physicians' Chief Clinical Officer, "It's another for them to train the next generation of Minnesota's doctors with that expertise, so that our communities will always have access to the best kinds of care.”
