138 CU Faculty Recognized as 5280 Magazine Top Doctors

Each year, Denver-area magazine 5280 publishes its list of top doctors. On this year’s list, which came out last week, CU School of Medicine faculty members continue to be ranked among the best. We are proud to congratulate the 138 CU School of Medicine faculty members honored with the title Top Doctor.

The list is compiled from a survey of Denver-area physicians asking who they trust to treat themselves and their families in a variety of specialty-based categories. This year, the magazine lists 340 total doctors in 100 specialties.
