Thankfully no surgery was required, however Mom still needed a hospital stay and skilled nursing home services for a few weeks. This was expensive. Shareese James who is an outstanding care coordinator at Northwest Family Clinic was able to save my parents thousands of dollars. She truly cares for her clients and advocates for them. Utilizing her expertise in the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) process and the Medicare rules she coordinated with the hospital and skilled nursing center to significantly reduce costs. It is difficult for patients and social workers to navigate through the complexity of Medicare rules and ACO steps. That is why it is so important to have a care coordinator like Shareese who understands these processes and is persistent in networking with other medical partners. My parents and I are very grateful for her support!

They will not disclose much information to you. You will think it is a sample but you will get charged big time. I contacted the Dr. office and billing department.

They charge 3-4 times to over the counter supplies.

My split is about 90% with Dr. Erin and 10% with Dr. Amy. For that reason, my review will focus on my visits with Dr. Erin since her constant work on me has kept my body grounded and in-tact since we have developed a plan together. My adjustments have helped with the stress of work and school. Finding a chiropractor has been a journey for me and as a result I have moved around and am pleased to have found a chiro that is working with me to correct my alignment. As I study for the bar exam we have begun a corrective care plan where I visit 3x a week for 8 weeks then 2x a week for 6 weeks and then once a week for 3 months. Dr. Erin has a different philosophy than other Chiros and I appreciate the fact that I will be able to review my pre X-rays and then review my progress at different check points. Liz is a great scheduler, greeter and resource for figuring out the best plan for your needs. Plus they cater to the kids with the cute play area, chalk wall, assorted toys and coloring supplies!

I have been to High Pointe three times now: for two spinal shots and one spinal surgery at C5-C6…read more All three times, the experience has been exceptional - from the welcome I received upon check-in to my departure. The nursing staff and medical team are collectively well-qualified, compassionate, and professional. They thoroughly explain the procedure, what to expect, and the proper after-care at home. For my most recent procedure, the spinal surgery, I was impressed with how well the IV was inserted. Normally, phlebotomists have difficulty with IVs and drawing blood since I have rolling veins. Not so in this case! It was probably one of the easiest times I've ever had one done and there was little pain. The anesthesiologist asked a comprehensive number of questions and ensured that I felt comfortable going into surgery. Since I was having surgery on my neck and the normal way to put in a breathing tube would have cause additional stress on my neck (and ultimately pain, even if I couldn't feel it during surgery), he went out of his way to determine a way to insert a breathing tube effectively and without causing pain. I didn't ask that he do this. He did this on this own which shows his commitment to compassionate care and doing no harm to patients. The surgeon did a phenomenal job on the spinal surgery! After I had been dealing with a pinched nerve in the C5-6 region for 11 months, he was able to correct it during the surgery! He removed part of the vertebrae and noted that the nerve "popped up" immediately - exactly the result that was needed. Immediately after the surgery, I had NO PAIN OR NUMBNESSS in my left arm and hand. After living with the pain and numbness for 11 months, it felt surreal to go about the rest of my day without even a minutest amount of pain in my left arm or hand. The pain in my neck (where the surgical site was) is sore, but that's expected and I was told to expect it since muscles and tissues would be moved around, and part of the vertebrae removed. The appropriate amount of medication was prescribed and is able to address the pain. High Pointe followed up with me the day after my surgery to check on me. I gave an update and had a couple of questions for the nurse. She was able to answer my question quickly. I would high recommend High Pointe for anyone considering surgery by one of the providers. The experience far exceeded my expectations!

If a surgery center receives anything but a five star rating, you should be scared. Very scared. Fortunately, I didn't have to be. Being clean and well kept for a medical facility goes without saying. But the staff was very friendly and put you at ease. I wasn't very scared of going into surgery, but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't at all apprehensive. It is surgery after all, even if it is miles away from any vital organs. Any number of things can go wrong. And the staff there was all smiley and joked around with me to help disperse some of that apprehensiveness. (One of the receptionists was a Vikings fan and made a comment about my Vikings sweatshirt. We had some fun poking fun at our next door rivals.) You had a private stall to get ready and whoever was there with you was allowed to see you just before they took you away. I remember being sprawled out on a surgery table with arms out much like Neo was in the last Matrix movie. It was kind of surreal and very Holy-like. I don't remember much of the recovery area as I only woke up briefly to mumble that I felt nauseous. I didn't feel like I said it very loud, but I heard some nurses scrambling to page a doc to see if they could give me some medicine for it, so either I said it louder than I thought, or the nurses were very attentive. Surgery didn't turn out to be that big of a deal to me other than not reacting well to general anesthetic. With that said, I don't care to repeat it anytime soon. But if I end up back at High Pointe, I'll certainly feel better that I'm in good hands.

I opted for PT and after a couple weeks of no results I went searching and came across MN Disc Institute. Meeting with Dr. Jamy was the best thing that could have happened. First off I cannot thank him enough for giving me the flexibility with everything going on in my life when we 1st met with the different pay options, etc. Without the treatment he provided me, I would not be where I am at today. I think its been about a year or so since my last treatment and I can say I am still pain free. I have been able to complete a couple rounds of P90X one as a super modified version as more of rehab and core strengthening and another where I was able to go at it and get back in shape. I am just finishing up my 1st round of P90X2 in preparation for Tough Mudder (Google it if you don't know what it is). Again, a big thanks for everything he did to help me get back to living normal again.

This may work for others but if you rate this based on results I have to give it this rating.

I have used them exclusively (minus specialists such as sports rehab, surgeons, etc.), and have persuaded my family and friends to do likewise. They all like it as well. Please also note that this is a "teaching" practice, meaning that before you see the "actual" doctor, you will probably see a student finishing their residencies (I have seen the same at my regular doctor, if only a little less frequently). If this doesn't work for you, you could probably ask to see Dr. Vollersten specifically. He knows his stuff, and if he doesn't (against, speaking of area specialists), he will let you know and refer you to only the best. Their walk-in care is always prompt, their staff is always friendly, and the doctors/residents are knowledgeable and helpful. The only problems I have had were with a bill, but that ended up being an issue with my insurance company. Note that if you have questions about a bill from MD Care, you need to call during their regular working hours (M-F, 9-5 I believe). I highly recommend MD Care, especially if you need to see a doctor on short notice.
