We are pleased to once again announce that Dr. Silverman has earned the distinction of “Top Doctor” from Minnesota Monthly for 2024!
As we said in last year’s blog when Dr. Silverman was named to the list, we had no intention of giving up our spot in 2024, and we followed through with another great year of patient care! We don’t do this job for the recognition, but every once in a while it is rewarding to see that others view the work Dr. Silverman does in such a positive light. Thank you to our patients, colleagues and the team at Minnesota Monthly for this honor, and you can bet we’ll do everything we can to pen a similar blog in 2025!
The full list of doctors who made the Top Doctors 2024 list will be published in the Sept/Oct issue of Minnesota Monthly.
How Doctors Make The Top Doctors List
Here’s how the Top Doctors list is whittled down to a final list:
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.
