Medical Clinics near West Saint Paul

“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!“

“Synapse is easy to recommend. The doctors truly care and want to find the root cause for whatever ailment you are dealing with. They are all extremely knowledgeable and spend countless hours on every person that walks through their doors helping them to heal physically, mentally, and spiritually.“

“I have had several massages over the past 20+ years and Sarah at Crocus Hill Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine is the VERY BEST!! She asks how you are feeling that day and if anything is new or has changed. Sarah knows just how much pressure to apply on both sore and stiff muscles. She is friendly and kind. After my massage I feel so relaxed like I am floating, so peaceful, and less soreness and stiffness. I highly recommend Sarah at Crocus Hill Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine for your massage needs.“

“Easy to make appointments, friendly and attentive team and great medical professionals.“

“Very clean exam room, friendly and understanding, simple and manageable instructions, kind, friendly and very helpful staff. Very happy with my experience“

“The staff at Allina Eagan have been very good to work with. I appreciate the professionalism and knowledge of Dr. Krummel. She is outstanding.“

“Another pleasant visit in the books with Allina. This was my first time at this particular location, and the experience was a good one from start to finish. Right away, I was greeted by Nurse Julie, who had great energy and made me feel welcomed. She got me checked in smoothly and set the tone for a positive visit. I was scheduled to see Dr. Dahlberg--a provider I chose somewhat randomly based on some positive reviews, and I'm happy to say those reviews were spot on. Dr. Dahlberg was thorough, approachable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I appreciated that he didn't seem rushed or irritated by my questions and took time to go through my asthma test results with me. It turned out we uncovered some underlying issues, and I feel confident moving forward now that we have a plan in place following some baseline testing. In today's healthcare environment, where care teams are under constant pressure to do it all with a smile, it can sometimes feel forced--but both Nurse Julie and Dr. Dahlberg came across as genuinely engaged, and that made all the difference. Grateful for this level of care and professionalism.“

“Today’s visit was fast and great especially Ronnie was and is magnificent. Upbeat, straight forward attitude.
Thank you.“

“I did hyperbaric oxygen therapy here for sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This clinic was so accommodating and helpful in getting the treatment underway promptly and frequently. The staff is professional and friendly, and I attribute a big part of my hearing recovery to doing hyperbaric.“

“I saw Dr Elze today for painful ingrown toenails. She was wonderful! Kind, personable, knowledgeable with terrific support staff that were constantly smiling! Thank you Dr Elze, for taking care of something that has been bothering me for a long time! ❤️“

“This clinic was thorough and really spent time with my son in diagnostics and complete in their follow up from the clinic appointment.“

“Inclusive clinic with absolutely amazing staff. Especially the nurses, and Dr. Darnell. They are compassionate and dedicated. They treat everyone as an equal. I got my full hysterectomy here when I was 24. Best decision of my life. They helped me do what was best for my body. Darnell took it as seriously as I did. Other doctors tried to gaslite me into thinking a nine month long "period" and blackouting out due to pain were "normal women things". This clinic saved my life and I am forever grateful. Do not listen to the man who gave this woman's clinic a one star review.“

“Excellent care here! Had my surgery & out the same day! Kudos to the Surgical Staff!“
