Mpls.St.Paul Magazine has released its 2026 list of Top Doctors, which recognizes physicians across specialties who have earned the respect and confidence of their patients and peers.
This year, the magazine honored 201 University of Minnesota Physicians (M Physicians) doctors across 61 adult and pediatric specialties.
“This recognition comes from fellow physicians, people who understand the skill, judgment and dedication required to deliver exceptional care,” said Greg Beilman, MD, CEO of University of Minnesota Physicians. “Our partnerships with Fairview and 49 clinical partners across Minnesota allows patients to benefit from academic medicine that is focused on people, families, and communities. Together, we are helping more Minnesotans access the expertise they need, where they need it.”
To be considered for inclusion on the list each year, doctors must be first nominated by their physician peers. The magazine asks physicians in the Twin Cities who they would go to for care they may need, and then a panel of physician experts vets the list of nominees based on merit, peer recognition, professional achievement, extensive research and disciplinary history.
“Collectively, these M Physicians doctors represent over three thousand years of experience caring for patients, training others, and researching innovation for Minnesota,” said Holly Boyer, MD, Chief Clinical Officer for M Physicians. "Strengthening care for our community is at the center of it all.”
Meet the 201 M Physicians doctors named as Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s 2026 Top Doctors below.
