Summit Orthopedics congratulates the Summit physicians included in 2018 Minnesota Monthly Top Doctors list.
Summit’s expert teams of physicians, surgeons, physician assistants, certified athletic trainers, and therapists are committed to providing comprehensive orthopedic care to the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. For this reason, we are honored every year to have our physicians recognized among the Minnesota Monthly list of Top Doctors in the Twin Cities.
The Top Doctors selection process
The Summit physicians and surgeons named to the 2018 Minnesota Monthly Top Doctors list were nominated by their peers and selected for their expertise. Why does this matter? Because research tells us that skilled care by acknowledged specialists can measurably improve the success of medical outcomes.
The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice provided a list of 10,000 licensed Minnesota doctors. These doctors were invited to submit their Top Doctor nominations in each specialty category. The physicians receiving the most nominations are included in Minnesota Monthly’s 2018 list of Top Doctors. Summit Orthopedics applauds the Summit specialists named this year. With their medical teams and colleagues, these physicians embody Summit’s commitment to provide every patient with the highest quality of orthopedic care.
