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!

Frustrated with the cost of healthcare insurance? Me too, and I worked in the industry for 40…read moreyears. 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.

The doctor came 10 minutes later. All in all, it took about an hour. I did not feel rushed, as they offered for me to stay longer until I felt better. I thought this place was clean and efficient. The nurses and doctor were knowledgeable in my opinion, and had answered all of my concerns. Not sure what the negative reviews are all about, but I would recommend coming here vs going to an emergency room.

I'm so upset about our experience with Edina Urgent Care. My husband went in on a Sunday with awful…read morethroat pain. He is immuno-compromised so we were trying to avoid ER due to Covid. He went in and was never looked at by a dr but was given a strep test and a Covid test- they promised to follow up with test results and a treatment plan before closing on Sunday. We've never heard back from them. He was rushed to the ER the next morning because his throat was so swollen, he couldn't swallow. The ER Dr confirmed someone should have provided him care. At the bare minimum, provided him with the test results. They provided him with absolutely zero care or direction and in turn this ended up being so much more serious than it needed to be. If your seeking actual health care, i'd encourage you to go elsewhere.

Spoiler: it was more like starring in a low-budget horror film, minus the Oscar nomination. The nurse, with all the urgency of someone microwaving leftover fish, jabbed me with the so-called numbing solution. "You'll be fine in a minute," she chirped, as if pain receptors were instant-off switches. One Mississippi, two Mississippi... oh look, the scalpel was already out. I didn't even have time to blink before the doctor decided, slice. The pain was immediate, cosmic, like my soul was being evicted through that incision. I felt everything, down to the tragic soundtrack of my own internal screaming. When it was finally over -- which felt roughly three centuries later -- I staggered out, clutching my dignity. The drive home was an out-of-body experience where I nearly blacked out at every stoplight, but sure, it was all "routine." If Yelp had a section for medical trauma reviews, this one would read: Five stars for efficiency, zero stars for waiting five seconds for the numbing to actually work.

However, prospective patients need to be aware of potential outrageous prices. I visited M Health Fairview for a very simple test and a less than five-minute consultation. Two weeks later, I received a bill for $730, which, after the insurance discount, was $471. I have PPO insurance, so all urgent care facilities are in network. In the last two years, I've visited other urgent care facilities for the exact same issue. The bill was $150, and after the insurance discount, I paid $50. I was so astounded by this bill that I appealed it twice with no change. Since prices are not posted upon arrival at the clinic, I encourage all new patients to ask for a quote before receiving services. I am extremely disappointed and will never use this clinic again.

Highly recommend!

Pros: close to my house, fairly easy to schedule online, and everyone there was really nice…read more Cons: there is nothing urgent about this place. I was the first one there on a Sunday morning and didn't see the provider for 45 minutes. Biggest con though was they misdiagnosed me, sent me home with some ear drops, two days later after all my symptoms had gotten worse, a different urgent care concerned I had strep. In the meantime I went to two very social events and spent quality time with little kids. Fingers crossed they don't have strep in two days. I won't be back, the pros don't outweigh the cons.

The doctor said she would call us with the results on Tuesday even though they were closed (which she said). Tuesday, no call. Wednesday I waited until late morning, still not hearing anything, and called in. The receptionist said she would have someone call me right back. Didn't hear anything into the afternoon so I called in to the nurse's line thinking I could get the results that way, but the receptionist answers that line too. She was very rude and said I'd have to wait for them to call me back. I'm still waiting to hear from them. We ended up going somewhere else on Thursday and found out he did still have pneumonia. I will never go to Blue Crescent again or recommend them to anyone. Shoddy service and care!
