The vet who was assigned to us was new and had to run back and ask her supervisor answers to our questions. Important information got lost in the communications. We told them exactly what we wanted done. She came back and recommended a 5 day hospital stay for $6000. We asked about accessing their financial assistance program and she said that she wouldn't put our names in because she was new and couldn't ethically say that our dog wouldn't die.

I've seen 4 physicians and numerous staff in Neurology and I've had very good experiences so far…read more After 2 1/2 years of dealing with idiotic physicians at a neighboring health network (3 syllables, a county name that starts with the letter H), the experts at the U of M discovered that many of my severe problems walking isn't necrotic hips...or my thyroid...or vitamin D...or MS. It's my BACK and some severely pinches nerves! They figured it out in about 5 minutes and they had it medically confirmed within a week. The whole setup at 909 Fulton is awesome. It's ultra modern, high tech, and efficient. It reminds me of the building in the movie "Men In Black" minus the aliens. Everything seems to run well including: efficient valet services, a beautiful building, concierge staff, fast check-in with RFID tags, professional staff, high tech lab and technical services, and painless scheduling. My only complaint is the Dr. Dahlquist is retiring. I hope that, before he leaves, someone brings him to the genetics and cellular biology department and they make 10 or 12 clones of the doctor before he leaves. -Daddy Maxx Retro

My father has been a patient of Dr Minette for many years, and the care and treatment he has…read morereceived as his symptoms and diagnosis have become more complicated, has become shockingly poor. The clinic's inability to manage his care; for example, recently cancelling an appointment at the doctor's request (an appointment he had waited months for) only to offer the next available in OCTOBER. My mother spent :30 minutes on the line with the appointment setter (the number given to her when the appointment was cancelled), and was told no other option was available. A week later, when my dad's new internist raised concerns about the lack of diagnostic detail or care plan in his neurology file, I called to speak with his care team. The nurse I spoke to was lovely and explained we should never call appointments and only call them (something that is very confusing to follow considering the instructions they provide say something different) and also helped get my dad in to see the doctor four days later so his increasing challenges could be addressed. To my total disappointment, my mother returned from the appointment and said Dr Minette was dismissive, told her she should have figured out his current med mix was causing some of his issues by googling it herself, asked her where she had come up with the questions she was asking, seemed to be openly annoyed that I had voiced my concerns about the care he was receiving, and referred my mom to the Alzheimer's Association for any further questions. I work in geriatric care and know how difficult memory care and cognitive decline can be to treat, but nothing is more difficult than watching your loved one disappear and seeing their caregiver show a lack of empathy and curiosity about how they can try to help. My father has been resistant to changing his doctor, but this most recent series of incidents leaves us with little other choice. If you are looking for a provider who can support complicated presentations of Alzheimer's, I urge you to look elsewhere.

Sleep neurologist I'm seeing seems great. Dr Dang on the other hand used to be a great doctor but…read morequite literally no longer can perform his job functions and was deflective and insensitive and straight up lied when i just asked him to document my concerns and symptoms I had repeatedly reiterated previously and calmly expressed my frustration with his actions and untrue words as he raised his voice to speak over me knowing (at least he should've as it's the only thing he ever brought up to me or treated despite numerous other concerns) that I had a migraine. Like read the room and document important things in my chart as it could've been that simple.

There is not enough time or words to express how wonderful, professional, kind, supportive and…read moregrateful I am for my time with Minnesota Head & Neck Pain Clinic. Everyone I interacted with from the person on the phone, the people who checked me in for my appointments, to my physical therapist Kyle, Dr. Varun and all the nurses I met, were the most welcome, kind, and supportive people I have ever met. They made every appointment impactful for my health. I went 2-3 times a week for a couple of months before I moved for a job. When I told everyone that I was moving, they went out of their way to make sure I could get in for as many physical therapy sessions as possible with Kyle and Dr. Varun did everything in her power to help me manage my pain. I've had TMJ for as long as I can remember. I've tried different types of night guards, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and none of these gave me anywhere near as much sustained relief than going to MN Head & Neck Pain Clinic. Kyle created a therapy plan for me that would give me the most relief and was flexible for my life. Dr. Varun expedited my care so I could try trigger point injections. They changed my life and gave me the first sustainable relief I have ever experienced. I wish I had found MN Head and Neck Pain Clinic sooner. As my upcoming move got closer, every time I went in for an appointment, everyone asked me how I was doing, gave me endless kindness and words of encouragement and support. I have never felt so care for by such high-level professionals. The last day I saw Dr. Varun, I was getting nervous about my move, and she spent extra time with me to let me talk about my fears of moving and starting over. She was so encouraging and supportive and kept saying how strong and brave I was for moving. I will be forever grateful for Dr. Varun's compassion, kindness, and care. The time I had with MN Head and Neck Pain Clinic changed my life both physically and emotionally. Even though I couldn't take them with, everyone kept reminded me that they will always be there and willing to help.

Unfortunately they cater to the egos of their neurologists and let them get away with treating their patients horribly. Dr. Zubkov is a great example. If you're 4 minutes late he'll make you reschedule (even if you've waited 6 months to see him and you're late because you rushed from a family emergency in order to see him), he doesn't bother to read his patient's medical notes, makes arrogant and false claims, he made me race to get a surgery to remove a medical device during the pandemic (which was incredibly difficult to get done) because he felt that I was in the middle of a potential medical emergency and then, when he found out that I don't eat the foods that he thinks I should eat (I have gastroparesis and have very few foods that I can tolerate) he told me that until I get my gastroparesis "cured" (it isn't curable) that he couldn't help me and dropped me as a patient. I'm pretty sure that his real aim was to make me follow his diet in order to lose weight in spite of the fact that I was there for something unrelated. Oh and he dropped me before he tested me for EDS which was one of the main goals of the appointment. He's rude, nasty, obsessed with trying to get his patients to follow an extreme and expensive diet and when they refuse to follow it, he drops them. People have been complaining about him for years but they keep him on. I can't respect a company that would continue to employ someone like him and would recommend staying far away from them.

After living in multiple cities from coast to coast, finding physicians who are medical intellectuals has become next to impossible. Corporate medicine has had an effective coup, and American health care is now mostly about money. The Mayo Clinic is the exception. The physicians at Mayo in Rochester that I have encountered are deep thinkers who find templates demeaning. They see their patients as individuals, treating each one separately from the thousands of others they see. Their support staff absorb this attitude and treat patients with respect. At least, that's what I observe. Sprinkle in "Minnesota Nice," and I always feel a level of security at the Mayo Clinic. I now live in Minneapolis, but for most of my medical needs, I will travel to Rochester.

I first visited to discuss a surgical procedure for my facial nerve. Even with me traveling here from across the country, everything was a well orchestrated symphony. The electronic check in systems gave me exactly what I needed to know, and told me precisely where to go. When I arrived, they even told me where I needed to sit for when I'd be called back. The care team took their time with me and I had all my questions answered and we agreed on next steps. They even got me in, same day, to talk to a physical therapist, since I was from out of town.

He was odd all the way around; specifically that he was socially awkward and did not know how to communicate. So while he might be book smart, he should not be patient facing.

Pretty rude if you ask me. Additionally, the staff sounds miserable on the phone and unmotivated. When in person with the staff in the office, it was under-whelming but nothing extraordinary.
