Staying healthy is key to living your best life, and that’s why having the best care team is so important. At HealthPartners, you don’t need to look far for incredible care providers – our organization is home to hundreds of excellent doctors.

This year, more than 100 HealthPartners doctors have been named Top Doctors by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. Included on the list are more than 50 Rising Stars – physicians who are being recognized for making a significant impact to medicine within the first decade of their career as fully licensed doctors.

How are Top Doctors selected each year? Doctors are nominated by their peers. The nominations are then evaluated and scored by an expert physician review panel. Only doctors with the highest total points are named Top Doctors.

If you’re looking for your own “top doctor” to be part of your care team, you want someone you’re comfortable with and trust to help you reach your health goals. And checking out their ratings, reviews and profiles can be a great start.

Below, you’ll be able to meet this year’s Top Doctors and explore doctors across a variety of specialties.
