Children’s Minnesota physicians named Top Doctors by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL (July 10, 2024) – Children’s Minnesota is pleased to have 174 physicians recognized by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as 2024 Top Doctors. The 28th edition of the list includes hundreds of local physicians from across the Twin Cities in 46 specialties.

Research for Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s Top Doctors list began by asking metro-area physicians to nominate one or more doctors whom they would choose if they or a loved one were seeking medical care. From there, candidates were grouped into specialties and evaluated on myriad factors, including peer recognition, professional achievement, extensive research and disciplinary history. Doctors who received the highest total points from the surveys, research and blue-ribbon panel review were selected as 2024 Top Doctors.

The complete list of 2024 Top Doctors appears in the July issue of Mpls.St.Paul magazine and online.

Congratulations to all The Kid Experts^® honored as Top Doctors and thank you for putting kids first in all you do.
