One of the best hospitals that actually seem to still care! I have an illness that most Dr have…read morezero clue about. I'm so thankful that they are willing to listen and not treat me like a number...

NO SERVICES RENDERED!…read more At the advice of Poison Control we came urgently to this nearest so-called "urgent care" with an emergency for our 1-year old son who had been accidentally poisoned. Due to his age we were immediately turned away because they were apparently not equipped to handle his emergency due to his age/size. We were instead instructed to go directly to Children's Hospital in St. Paul - which we did. We had no desire to leave a medical facility on our volition; we wanted medical care provided to our son immediately who was in a serious situation. However, we were nevertheless told that nothing could be done for him there and that we should quickly move along elsewhere. As we were leaving, having only been there for roughly less than 5 minutes in total, we asked if there was anything further required of us as we headed for the door. In response, we were told (I am paraphrasing) "no, just get moving as quickly and safely as possible to Children's". That sounded quite appropriate to us, and onward we went. So now imagine our shock when we received a very large bill in the mail from these people! The bill nearly exceeded the one we were required to pay to Children's Hospital for ACTUAL life-saving medical services rendered! The bill also had no itemization on it whatsoever to help us determine what, in fact, we could possibly be charged for. We initially thought it surely must have been some type of mix-up because surely they would not charge us for simply sending us away. In following up and disputing the charge, we have received a total runaround. The billing department suggests that they somehow have no authority over the matter and that we must work it out with the specific clinic in Blaine. Nevertheless, we have been back into the office in Blaine repeatedly and each time we get "sorry, the manager isn't here". We finally were able to discuss the issue with a lesser-tier supervisor and she, in-effect, claimed she understood our dispute but also had no authority to do anything about it. We were told we would receive a follow-up email from someone with greater authority, but that never happened. So I ask, who has the authority within your organization to do the right thing here and drop the charge? No services were rendered to us and Minnesota has strict laws on such matters. You cannot charge us for simply being told to go away. If the claim is that it is a "service" for the doctor to tell us that your clinic cannot provide service, we reject that claim. Who else could be qualified to make that determination apart from a doctor? How can it be justified to charge us hundreds of dollars to make that determination? All the man did was come into the room and tell us he was too young for the clinic to help him. Is it really a service to tell us you cannot provide service?! The obvious goal here appears to be to get us to capitulate and just suck it up and pay the bill because we have insurance. They know it's wrong to charge anything under such circumstances (the whole office was embarrassed and shocked when I came back in there with the bill - you could see it in their eyes), but management knows they can get the money anyway, so why not? Well, on principal we will not give it to them. It's outrageous, grotesque, and shameful. And so indicative of the state of healthcare in the US. We live abroad (we were back just for a summer visit) and cannot fathom a circumstance in which this would happen in any other country we have ever lived in. We will file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office and retain a lawyer. In the interim, we recommend that people avoid this place AT ALL COSTS!

This is a good place to see a doctor yesterday on a football Sunday. I checked online to see the…read morewait time which was 1.5 hours while the others were at least 3 hours. I made an appt. By the time we got there we were close to 1.5 hrs and after checking in we were the next ones up. I was able to see doctor who was very thorough and suggested that I get x-rays which we reviewed and she saw what was causing my pain. She then told me that needed to control my pain and prescribed the perfect combo. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to type my review. It was very first time at any Allina facility and I was treated with respect by everyone who I encountered. Thank you!!!!!

what a disappointing experience for my sick 10 yo son and I. i called to make an appointment today…read moreand was told there is nothing until tomorrow and to check urgent care. She did not say to make an appointment/que in line online prior to arriving we arrived at urgent care (w/out an appointment bc isn't that the point?) only to be told my son, who has a 103 degree temp and sore throat, would have to wait 3-4 hours to be seen. meanwhile a young women with a sore foot but walking fine gets to be seen 30 minutes after she arrived. the women at the front desk was at first combative, then she put on kind of a fake, placating attitude. gross. i thought maybe the long wait was due to short staffing but the woman at the desk said that was not the issue but rather out of towners and people making online appointments but then not showing up is the problem. Please revisit your scheduling protocol so that those who are sick can actually be seen in a reasonable amount of time. Or when you are swamped, triage the patients!!
