Children’s Minnesota physicians recognized as 2024 Top Doctors by Minnesota Monthly

Children’s Minnesota is proud to congratulate 178 physicians who have been recognized as 2024 Top Doctors by Minnesota Monthly magazine. The 2024 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.

New in 2024, Minnesota Monthly has introduced Top Doctors – Legacy of Excellence to recognize physicians who have been nominated for eight years or more (denoted with an * below).

The 2024 Top Doctors list can be found in the Sept./Oct. issue of Minnesota Monthly magazine.
