North Memorial Health is honored to have three physicians named to Minnesota Monthly’s 2024 Top Doctors list, ranging in specialties from cardiac and thoracic surgery to endocrinology.
To create this annual list, the publication asks licensed doctors across the state one question: “If you or a loved one needed medical care, which doctor would you recommend?” The most frequently named doctors are recognized, highlighting their expertise and esteemed respect within the physician community.
This year, Dr. Mark Solfelt, a thoracic surgeon at North Memorial Health, received additional accolades as he was recognized as a Legacy of Excellence in Health Care – a designation reserved for physicians who have been named to Minnesota Monthly’s Top Doctors list for eight or more years.
“This group of physicians, all of whom have been recognized consistently as Minnesota Monthly top doctors over the years, highlight the immense level of healthcare excellence throughout our system,” said Carolyn Ogland, MD, President and Chief Medical Officer at North Memorial Health. “We take incredible pride in the exceptional and compassionate care these physicians bring to each patient they serve and look forward to the continued impact they will have within the community.”
North Memorial Health is honored to celebrate with our top doctors recognized with this award. Thank you for the difference you make in the healthcare community!
