This is an addendum to my prior review. I got a letter from Dr. Bevan announcing the closing of…read morePinnacle Foot and Ankle Clinic in Edina. Just in the past couple days. Sorry to say it, but I am not surprised. I will be following him to another clinic. Hopefully, his office manager won't. Noticed about Yelp-- they make you sign up for the app to read unfavorable reviews. Seems to be contrary to its implied mission of informing the consumer.

Dr. Bevan is knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that is easily understood. My insurance was not going to cover my procedure and Dr. Bevan and the staff went to bat for me and got them to cover what I needed. The wait time is minimal, and the front desk staff is very nice.

Maybe we (both?) just got unlucky but based on this I wouldn't recommend their toenail laser treatment.

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.

I went in for a certain type of stent and apparently the hospital didn't use that brand anymore, so the dr. put in a whole different design and brand that didn't even work the same way without even consulting me beforehand. It ended up failing and I had to get the right one put in at a different hospital. In my other foot; the dr. put the smallest wedge they make in one of my foot bones that came up way short of correcting the issue. When I asked why such a small wedge? He replied "your bone was hard to split open." I don't feel like any effort was given to my surgery and now I either have to live with the results or have a different dr. fix it right.

I called to interview a couple pediatricians while pregnant with our first child. He called me back right away and was genuinely interested in being our child's physician. Best decision we ever made. Our son is now 15 months and we wouldn't even consider changing his care. In fact, we like Dr. Salita so much that we begged him to be our physician as well. Although he was not taking new adult patients as the time, he still agreed. We would highly recommend him!
