Mpls.St. Paul Magazine announces this year’s Top Doctors
That’s why, each year, Mpls.St. Paul Magazine invites thousands of Minnesota doctors and registered nurses to identify the medical experts they would go to for medical treatment. And each year, when the results come in, Summit is honored to have numerous Summit specialists recognized among those chosen as Top Doctors. We are especially proud that almost all of these Summit specialists have been honored as Top Doctors for multiple consecutive years.
Summit Top Doctors in orthopedic surgery
With surgical specialties ranging from hands to hips, Summit’s Top Doctors in surgical care bring fellowship training and years of experience to your care.
Peter Daly, M.D.
Daly’s specialties include knee, shoulder, hip, sports medicine, and joint preservation and restoration. Because shoulder arthritis has prompted him to adjust his own activities, he brings personal perspective as well as medical expertise to his patients who are dealing with the same kinds of issues.
Jack Drogt, M.D.
Drogt’s specialties include knee, hip, joint preservation and restoration, arthroscopy, and knee and hip arthritis. His expertise lies in knee and hip reconstruction. Dr. Drogt is attentive to each patient’s goals and works with them to address their expectations and help them meet their personal objectives.
Michael Forseth, M.D.
Forseth’s specialties include hand, wrist, and elbow, complex reconstructive surgery of upper extremities, and microsurgery. In addition to serving our Twin Cities community, Dr. Forseth volunteers his medical services in Haiti, Colombia, and Honduras.
James Gannon, M.D.
Gannon’s specialties include knee, shoulder, sports medicine, arthroscopy, and joint preservation and restoration. He has practiced in St. Paul for more than 20 years; in some cases, he has cared for three generations of the families who place their trust in us.
Andrew Derek Thomas, M.D.
Thomas’s specialties include hand, wrist, elbow, carpal tunnel, and hand and wrist arthritis. He brings expertise from hand fellowships in Switzerland, Germany, and the Indiana Hand Center to his compassionate care of patients with hand diseases and injuries.
