Received tremendous care here after getting into a pretty serious rental scooter accident in Duluth…read moreon Labor Day. From start to finish, the team at Essentia Health made my stay not only comfortable but really took care of me. Whether it's being wheeled down the hall into an X-ray room or just getting ace bandaged up, the team was able to get me in and out within less than a 2 hour period, which is impressive! If I'm ever in a pickle and have another incident, I'd be happy to come back to Essentia for care.

However, their billing department and reception staff - not so much. In order to make an appointment for nasal surgery - which I still had lots of questions about - they made me write out a check to "hold my place" this check was for the remainder of my deductible. AKA a lot of money! This check that was going to "hold my spot" was deposited after I explicitly asked if it was going to be and was told it was only going to be cashed AFTER the surgery. The whole process was very confusing. You actually need to go into the office to make the appointment and to drop of said check. So I needed to take PTO to do this - the whole process took 1.5 hours! Each time I asked a question of the reception staff they made me feel like an idiot for not knowing the answer and acted like I was questioning them - I was just confused, nervous and scared. They also had the wrong insurance card stapled to my paper work - when I asked them to confirm they called the correct insurance I was very rudely answered that they already have called and I just needed to give her the check and sit down. Finally I got to sit with a nurse for 30 seconds where she told me I couldn't have the surgery for a couple months OR next week - my choice. No questions were answered and I walked out of there dazed and confused. So I'm out a bunch of cash, my nose hurts and I'm patiently waiting for my surgery date.
