The Twin Cities is fortunate to be home to many medical experts in a number of specialties. But it can be overwhelming to find the right doctor for you. If you’re looking for top-notch care, here is a great place to start.

Mpls. St. Paul Magazine has released its ‘Top Doctors’ list, and 133 physicians spanning 34 specialties at HealthPartners, Park Nicollet, TRIA, Stillwater Medical Group, Methodist Hospital and Regions Hospital have been included in this annual recognition program. The complete list of ‘Top Doctors’ can be seen in the July issue of Mpls. St. Paul Magazine.

Physicians who are included on the list were nominated by their peers and selected based on their medical expertise. It’s fantastic recognition for some of our many great physicians and reflects the tremendous work being done across the organization to improve health and well-being in partnership with our members, patients and community.

Scroll down for a complete list of our ‘Top Doctors’. And, congratulations to all of the doctors who were recognized this year!
