Top Doctors are nominated by their fellow physicians, who are asked which doctors they would choose if they or a loved one were seeking care. Candidates are then evaluated on several factors including professional achievement, peer recognition and disciplinary history. The physicians who perform best on the survey, research and review by a blue-ribbon panel are named to the list. In the end, only doctors who acquired the highest total points from the surveys, research and the blue-ribbon panel review were selected as Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s 2026 Top Doctors.
