Afshan Anjum, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist at M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital, was named a 'Top Doctor' this year by Minnesota Monthly.

250+ physicians honored as 2022 ‘Top Doctors’ by Minnesota Monthly

“If you or a loved one needed medical care, which doctor would you recommend?”

Minnesota Monthly asks thousands of licensed physicians this question. The providers named most often are selected for inclusion on the magazine’s annual “Top Doctors” list.

This year Minnesota Monthly recognized 257 of our physicians across 70 medical specialties as “Top Doctors,” the most of any health system statewide. Our honorees include doctors from both Fairview and M Physicians who see patients at M Health Fairview clinics and hospitals.

Minnesota Monthly has published its “Top Doctors” list since 2014. To assemble the 2022 list, the magazine asked physicians from the 11-county Twin Cities metro area plus Olmsted County who they would recommend if a loved one needed care. Respondents can nominate up to three doctors other than themselves.

“Our physicians are committed to bringing world-class care to Minnesota, shaping the future of medicine and bringing leading-edge care directly to our clinics and hospitals,” said Fairview Health Services Chief Medical Officer Mark Welton, MD. “We’re honored and grateful to see our doctors’ commitment recognized by their peers.”   

“Minnesota is consistently regarded among the top states in the nation for healthcare,” said Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, CEO of University of Minnesota Physicians and Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs at the University of Minnesota Medical School. “To have 230 physicians leading as top doctors in one of the overall top states for healthcare is remarkable.”
