Are you looking for a doctor? How about one who is up-and-coming? You’re in luck! Mpls.St.Paul Magazine named more than 60 of our doctors to its 2018 “Rising Stars” list. And they represent 24 different specialties!

The recognition is for top doctors in our area who have been practicing in their specialty for 10 years or less. Doctors were nominated by their peers and then graded on a points system. Research and a panel review also helped select doctors. Those who were awarded the highest point totals were named Rising Stars.

HealthPartners has had a great showing in this annual list since it debuted in 2015. Each year, our Rising Stars have come from all across our organization. They practice at HealthPartners, Park Nicollet, Stillwater Medical Group, TRIA, Regions and Methodist Hospitals and more. Congratulations to each and every one of them!
