Medical Clinics near Cottage Grove

“I really like this clinic. I’ve been to quite a few and they’re one of the very best. came here for the first time with a number of concerns and every single one of them was addressed, and continued to be addressed as my symptoms progressed. I was a big baby doing some tests but the nurses were very kind and they laughed at my jokes. I’ve never been to a doctor for anything more than birth control in probably 13 years bc I didn’t feel like my current clinic would take me seriously, but I’m very comfortable here!“

“I have been going for years. This places is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have gotten such useful information and great tools to use. I wouldn't be able to ride in vehicles without a barf bag and grocery trips would be so much worse. I now can do art on the computer with lots of fast rotations because of their help. Not everyone will need to go for years. I just so happened to need it longer. It is worth it. I did both PT and OT.“

“I appreciate, respect, and like my doctor, Doctor Simon Fenton.

Doctor Fenton continues to be the most proficient, professional, caring, personable, and competent Physician or any type that I have engaged in the last 60+ years.

I began seeing Doctor Fenton after he quickly and correctly diagnosed a serious problem that my wife had when others simply ignored her symptoms.

My then current PCP left the area, so I endeavored to become his patient.

I continue to use Allina because of my consistently positive experiences with him for years.

I especially appreciate that he is analytical, and strives to get to the bottom of things rather than going through the motions as other physicians used to do.

Over that last 30+ years, I have noted that the professional and support staffs at various United and Allina facilities have improved greatly. (From indifferent robots to engaged, professional, and caring healthcare partners.)
I love my doctor, but find some procedural aspects of Allina and the United Hospital organization are less and less effective. My personal experiences note that year by year, the Doctors and Assistants work hard to keep me well, but have less time to address real issues due to new policies and practices instituted by "the home office". I get 20 minutes of my PCP's time, which he spends mostly "checking boxes" in order to stay off the clinic's "naughty list".

FORTUNATELY, Doctor Fenton is a great multitasker and provides excellent care.

He and his support staff are forced go through unnecessary steps (like sending in extra prescriptions (to fill when requested) to avoid calls from a pharmacist, which affects his review - even though it's the dysfunctional pharmacy. United and Allina need to work with and pharmacies or their professional organizations to fix this structural problem

At reception, I get forms asking if I have a good home life and a place to stay, but never ask how my actual health is, or what might might be troubling me.

Both organizations need to get back to basics, rather than marketing metaphorical "Underwater Birthing Centers" and such. They should let their professionals practice, and quit micromanaging them. Also no more remodeling while milking a 30 year old imaging machine.

Thank You!“

“I have a great care team at this location. They really listen to you to try and meet your needs.“

“They are very thorough with their care and we needed a catscan and they got us in right away the same day“

“I have been going to this clinic for many years now. The staff is so friendly and they are so efficient every time I visit. I found the best doctor I've ever had. 5 stars“

“They are kind people and they Accept you at any situation times. They are welcome family clinics care.“

“I felt like they wanted to work with me and took me seriously at this location. Our nurse, the staff and the doctor were all courteous, knowledgeable and fabulous. It is a longer drive to this clinic but we will return to have excellent care and communication. I wish I could say the same about the Fairview clinic in our area. Thank you for your professionalism.“

“Really like this peds office. The convenience is amazing, offering appts on weekends, always getting us in as soon as we need to be seen… in my experience, the more you can see and build a relationship with one doctor, the better. We love our main doctor who we’ve seen for 2+ years. Don’t always love our experience with whoever is on-call for the sick visits, but usually it’s due to not having a relationship with the on-call doctor, not that they are providing poor treatment.
The service over the phone with the nursing staff and the quickness to answer questions asked through the portal on the app are also appreciated.“

“Super friendly staff and they are very helpful. Dr. Slots is amazing and has been my primary for 7 years.“

“Best patient experience I've ever had at an ER! Every Staff person I came in contact with was kind and efficient at their task. I felt listened to.. and they helped my presenting concerns“
