Children’s Minnesota physicians recognized as Rising Stars

Children’s Minnesota is pleased to congratulate the 64 kid experts recognized by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as 2024 Top Doctors: Rising Stars.

The 10th edition of the Top Doctors: Rising Stars list highlights up-and-coming physicians who have been fully licensed to practice for approximately 10 years or less and are recognized for their achievements by peers. This year’s list includes doctors in dozens of specialties, who were selected after a peer-nomination process. Candidates were evaluated on myriad factors, including peer recognition, professional achievement and disciplinary history. Physicians who received the highest total points from peer nominations and evaluations by independent researchers appear on the list.

The Rising Stars are listed in the April issue of the magazine and online.
