We are pleased to announce that Dr. Silverman was once again selected to Minnesota Monthly’s Top Doctors list for 2023!
We said we’d work hard to earn this distinction again after being selected to the list in 2022, and we’re happy to see that our efforts paid off. We didn’t get into this line of work for recognition, but it’s always nice to feel appreciated by your peers and your patients, so we want to say thank you to everyone who helped us earn a spot on this list.
Here’s a look at Dr. Silverman’s profile page on the Top Doctors list:
Minnesota Top Doctors 2023
In an effort to help doctors and prospective patients understand the Top Doctors selection process, the team at Minnesota Monthly put together this short Q&A. Here’s some more information on how the Top Doctors list is created each year:
Who picks the doctors?
Their peers. Professional Research Services contacts thousands of licensed doctors in the 11-county metro area, as well as Olmsted County, based on a list provided by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. Respondents are asked to log on to a secure website and name up to three doctors (other than themselves) in each specialty category. Physicians who received the highest number of votes are reflected by specialty in the Top Doctors list.
How were the specialties selected?
The American Board of Medical Specialties recognizes 24 member boards that grant certification in specialized areas of medical practices. Some of those member boards grant certification in specialties as well. Our staff used those specialties and sub-specialties as a starting point for creating physician categories, though board certification was not a requirement for being named.
Does advertising affect the poll?
No. Doctors are not added to or removed from the list based on their or their employers’ advertising history with the magazine.
Thank You
We want to say thank you to all of the doctors and colleagues who took time to nominate Dr. Silverman for recognition on the Top Doctors list, and we also want to thank the patients who speak highly of the team. Our line of work brings us in contact with some incredible doctors and healthcare professions, and it’s amazing to see Dr. Silverman’s name alongside so many wonderful providers here in Minnesota. So thanks again to everyone who felt compelled to nominate us for the award, and like last year, we’ll work hard to make the list again in 2024!
