Children’s Minnesota physicians named Top Doctors by Minnesota Monthly

Children’s Minnesota is proud to congratulate 196 physicians who have been recognized as 2025 Top Doctors by Minnesota Monthly magazine. The 2025 list features more than 1,000 physicians across dozens of specialties, all of whom were nominated by peers.

The annual list was determined by a survey of thousands of licensed Minnesota doctors, based on a list provided by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. Physicians are asked to name three doctors they would recommend if a family member needed medical care. Physicians who received the highest number of votes comprise the list.

The 2025 Top Doctors list can be found in the Sept./Oct. issue of Minnesota Monthly magazine.
