University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital, Fairview applauds 43 of its doctors for being named to the Mpls. St. Paul Magazine 2008 Top Doctors list. The magazine survey was mailed to 5,000 randomly selected licensed doctors and nurses in the Twin Cities metro area who were asked to nominate two doctors in each of the 71 specialties by answering the question, “When your loved ones get sick, to whom do you send them?”  Physicians receiving approximately the top 15 percent of the votes in each specialty are named 2008 Top Doctors.

With more than 40 specialties and one of the nation’s top 15 pediatric research programs, the pediatric specialists at University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital help make us one of the leading children’s hospitals in the nation. And this is why we are particularly proud of the 43 physicians listed below.
