You want the best health, so it makes sense that you want the best health care team, too. At HealthPartners, we have hundreds of incredible care providers, giving you many choices when looking for a doctor who fits your needs and care preferences.
Our doctors are often recognized for providing the highest level of care. In fact, more than 120 of our doctors were recently named to Minnesota Monthly’s 2022 Top Doctors list. For some, this is a repeat honor, having made the list of Minnesota Monthly Top Doctors in 2021 or previous years. Some are also among those named 2022 Rising Stars and Top Doctors by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine.
To create their yearly Top Doctors list, Minnesota Monthly contacts thousands of doctors in the Twin Cities metro area and Olmsted County. Each doctor is asked to share three doctors within each specialty area that they’d recommend to others. The Top Doctors for the year are those with the most votes.
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. Below, you’ll be able to meet this year’s Top Doctors and explore doctors across a variety of specialties.
