SmartCare by Park Nicollet offers much lower prices, but dramatically limits you to providers within the Twin Cities metro area. Even then, many physicians (including my long-time primary care physician) who work for Park Nicollet are not part of the SmartCare program, which tends to rely on Physician's Assistants (PAs) for primary care needs. I've never been impressed by doctors with diplomas, at least outside of specific surgical expertise. I know many PAs whose expertise rivals those of general practitioners. For 90% of us, you don't need a doctor to diagnose your sore throat and prescribe meds. (In fact, an increasing amount of primary care is *finally* being made accessible through virtual visits.) It's been an active year for me, medically at least: two total knee replacements; a few asthma complications that required medication adjustments; a fun visit to the foot doctor to see if he could help level out my leg lengths after the first knee surgery; pre-op and PT visits for the TKRs; a lovely colonoscopy; and a few other visits I think. All within 10 miles of my Plymouth residence. Next year I probably won't go interact with the healthcare system more than a few times. Only nitpick: The appointment scheduling lines are consistently understaffed to handle call volume, so wait times of 30 minutes are not unusual. Ideally you can use the website to schedule an appointment, but sometimes you need more assistance.

I checked into the Urgent Care at Park Nicollet, where a very helpful person asked if I'd like to check out Smart Care. She said it was a new service and virtually no wait (v. the long line at Urgent Care). I thanked her and trudged a short way down the hall. Honestly, that moment likely changed my life, or at least my health. I was treated quickly and expertly and have since made Smart Care my primary provider. I've stopped in for vaccinations, treatment for muscle strains, more stupid sinus infections and have always felt that I received the best care possible. I can easily reach out to them through the MyChart website or with a quick phone call to see if an office visit is necessary. The whole team is friendly and knowledgeable. I always feel as if my concerns are heard and acknowledged. I recommend that anyone looking for a primary care team check this out!

My child's patner is also seen here because she has an extreme reaction to needles. Family Tree is the only resource (after 7 other facilities) to supply the accommodation necessary for her anxiety control so a blood draw could be accomplished. The clinic has gone beyond any normal standard of care. Lastly, when visiting, I appreciate the calm attitudes, the unique waiting room, and the educational materials available. It is a SAFE PLACE for all.

I have been coming to this Park Nicollet since I was little. The quality of care here seems to…read moresurpass anything else I've experienced. The doctors are highly knowledgable (besides the urgent care doctors) and the nurses are always so very friendly. I usually go to family medicine, as my primary Doctor is an absolutely god send (he knows just about everything and is will to try everything to make sure you're doing well). My only complaint, is that their urgent care doctors are absolutely horrible. They always seem to be in a hurry and act as if you're bothering them. I went in for an infection in my hand after being bitten by a cat (if bitten by a cat visit a doctor immediately, they can be life threatening), the doctor came into the room and had the audacity to say "it's infected, put some antibacterial soap on it." That was it, he left. I then visited a different urgent care, in a different network, and got the appropriate care needed (ended up being a level 4 infection that needed to be drained and pumped full of antibiotics). So, will I be back? Yes, because although urgent care here is awful, I rarely visit that side of the clinic anyway. Everything else is absolutely phenomenal!

So 3 weeks after the 1600 miles he drove in 3 days ( fl to Mn), he had a MASSIVE heart attack right in the office ( 5 minutes fr HCMC ER) of our 25 year primary care doctor! WHAT luck! So in 10 minutes of the EKG test, he was in the ER!!! After 3-4 hours in surgery, one surgeon came out and said," his main artery in the rear of heart was 95% blocked and he would have survived for only 90 minutes... we put in two stints". HCMC ER is nationally rated as " the top ER Level One trauma center and number one in the entire Midwest ". Level one means they can handle anything - - gun shot wounds to head, chest, stomach the most deadly spots, falls out of buildings, MASSIVE car crashes, etc etc. My father taught biochemistry 40 years in a NYC med school and taught us how to care for all others in any situation. My husband post surgery, was hospitalized in HCMC for 4 days and entered their special Cardio Physical Therapy Program = 3X a week/full hour/for 3?months!! The hospital stay was outstanding in ALL respects. The nurses were attentive, and the post heart attack education done by a special doctor was SO excellent... my husband who has been a heavy smoker for 68 years... COLD TURKEY stopped smoking immediately. HCMC's post cardio physical therapy program is Rated NUMBER 1 in the Twin Cities. We agree 100%. First the 4 physical therapist's take your blood pressure and sugar/ glucose level every 15 minutes during the hour session. All of them are joyous, effervescent enthusiastic warm caring GENUINE folk! Just love them all! They play low, any kind of music you want and LIFT your spirits with their laughter. This is a major major reason why my husband recovered so completely. (And he contracted the same deadly pneumonia that killed the famous race car driver after just 5 weeks in physical rehab) We are most most grateful for this rare rare team of great folk.

I made an appt for a physical and was never asked to gown up or sit on the exam table. Doctor never examined me-instead spent my appt telling me how AI has helped them cut their work in half and talked to me about a medicine I don't want or need. Clearly she gets a kick back if I go on it. At the end of my appt she told me there wasn't enough time for my breast exam. 2. Same doctor takes weeks to respond to prescription refills and referrals for pediatric eye care 3. Other OB doctor took several weeks to respond to my daughter's potential health concern regarding her pregnancy. They finally called back after several pleas for results. Causing undue stress on a pregnant mother. 4. Makes no difference if you have been their patient for 20+ years-you can't get in to see your doctor My family and I are now shopping for new doctors.

I may be biased because it is also close to home for me (*perk*) so there's that. I was seen by Bradley Bastian, PA and he was approachable, practical, down-to-earth, yet very knowledgeable and respectful of my own awareness about my own health. Nor did he jump to over-medicate and he validated me for the things I was already doing to help my condition and sent me with a list of instructions to follow which I liked (when I'm sick, I don't have the best comprehension and/or memory skills, and they seemed to get that). I think they are able to see more patients at a lower cost due to most of the practitioners are either nurse practitioners (N.P.s) or physicians assistants (P.A.s) which I actually prefer to see for common ailments since I think they are sometimes more approachable and pragmatic than those full-fledged M.D.s - just a personal opinion on the subject formed by many discussions and experiences with friends who are P.A.s/N.P.s. As others have mentioned, I also liked the unique layout and welcoming decor. Another perk of the way that the exam rooms are set up is you get to have your height and weight taken in the exam room (yay!). No more awkward "Hi, I'm in the hallway trying to unload my coat, boots, and purse so that I don't weight 900lbs!" moments. And, as others have mentioned, the practitioner enters from one side of the room and the patient from the other. Very convenient and private. I had a really positive experience there and while I will probably stick with my primary care physician for my more complicated needs, I will definitely use this clinic again for what ails me in a more acute basis.
