Denver area magazine 5280 recently published its list of best doctors for 2022. In this year’s list, faculty members from the CU School of Medicine continue to rank among the best. We are proud to congratulate the 192 CU College of Medicine faculty members honored with the title “Top Doctor.”
The list is compiled from a survey of Denver-area physicians that asked them “whom they would trust to treat themselves or a loved one” in a variety of specialty-based categories. This year, the list includes 343 doctors in total in 100 specialties.
