Best Doctors for Women 2010

Our annual guide to the best physicians in the Twin Cities

 How do you take the measure of a medical doctor? It’s not easy. Board scores, bedside manner, cost of care, sense of caring—all these yardsticks provide only part of the picture. That’s why we asked the people who do the job daily—doctors—who they believe measures up when it comes to excellent care for women. We asked them to name the doctors they’d recommend to their wives, partners, sisters, and daughters—the women who were most important to them. Now, the results are in, the votes are tallied. Here are the doctors who stand head and shoulders above the crowed, as chosen by their peers: Minnesota Monthly’s 2010 Best Doctors for Women.

METHODOLOGY

In December, we sent postcards to more than 10,000 doctors in the seven-county metro area and Olmstead County. Respondents were asked to log onto a secure online polling site and name up to three doctors in each specialty, based on the criteria they would use to make recommendations to female family members, friends, and loved ones. We asked them to list doctors, either male or female, who were attuned to the specific needs of female patients (the instructions stated we were not looking for only female doctors). More than 1,000 doctors were named, and exactly 238 of those nominees received enough votes to meet the threshold established by our staff. The list of specialties is not comprehensive. Instead, the survey sought to highlight specialties that are often of interest to women.
