For approximately the same price as the high-end iPhone (including a case and apple care), you can get personalized concierge medicine. Dr. Burgeson has made a form of medical care that was previous exclusive to the rich -- i.e. concierge medicine -- and made it available for everyone. One of the many things I love about Dr. Burgeson is that I can visit with him via Skype, text message him when I have questions, or just send an email (I usually hear back within an hour or two). Finally, I love that he really makes the time for his patients. My first visit with him was 1.5 hours, and most of that visit was us just chatting about my health goals. And because of the way he runs his practice, when you visit him you're usually the only patient there. I wish I had found Dr. Burgeson earlier. His practice is the anthesis of everything wrong with our current medical system. Finally, I wanted to comment on the 1-start review left on this page. I'm pretty sure that review was intended for a Dr. in Memphis Tennessee and not Dr. Stephan Burgeson in St. Paul, Minnesota. Everything about that negative review is just plain wrong. Especially the part about Dr. Burgeson "only caring about the money." Indeed, if someone were only in it for them money there's no way they'd choose to independently growth this kind of business from scratch; it's much faster to grow a medicine practice within the existing system, with insurance payouts, etc. P.S. I should also mention that the Dr.'s assistant, Jenni, is also fantastic. They make a great team.

My loved one walked into Gianna's on his own 2 feet (an important distinction), with the idea that…read morehe was going to get more focused attention and individual care because of a smaller ratio of residence to staff. Our family was told there would be active interaction with the residence, music therapy and other therapeutic methods that would be used to achieve the proposed individualized/focused care. The actual result is that NOTHING could be FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH! The REALITY is that immediately after moving in, while our loved one was getting adjusted to a new place, people and surroundings in the first few days, the immediate course of action from the Gianna's staff was to medicate him to the point of extreme sedation, so that he did not disturb the staff! This sedation was to the point of him being asleep in the chair all day every day and not moving, not eating and inability to be mobile when he had just walked into the place days earlier. At the direction of the Gianna's nurse, the staff issued PRN meds (as needed med's) automatically when they were not needed. He was in the chair asleep in the chair, and they continued to issue sedating medications. This was so severe, that one time I walked at dinner time and our loved one was laying on the floor with the staff walking around him, like nothing was wrong. Not helping him up or attempting to help him. The staff did not exhibit any compassion or attempt to find alternative solutions. This continued. Simultaneously NONE of the therapeutic methods promised happening. I am not saying this lightly as someone who was hearing this from afar. I witness this firsthand as I was there 22 of 28 days he was in Gianna's. This persisted and he did not come out of nor was able to recover from the extreme sedated state the Gianna's nurse and team put him. He paid the ultimate price died 28 days after entering Gianna's. Save your loved one! DO NOT believe what they tell you! DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE IN GIANNA'S. They too may pay the ultimate price like my loved one did! PS: As someone who was there nearly daily, I observed that of the following: Of the 14 residents at Gianna's ONLY 1 person was mobile on her feet and verbal. ALL others were confined to a wheelchair, nonverbal and appear to be sedated with no movement, verbal or physical interaction with staff. This was observed throughout many different shifts. Would give less than zero stars if I could! Signed: Extremely Heartbroken loved one

My dad lived at Gianna for only 28 days: from the first day when he walked in on his own 2 feet…read more(able to ambulate, eat, and interact) to the day he passed away. We moved to Gianna because we were promised low staff to resident ratio, more individualized care, a "medication last" approach, experienced staff and a warm environment that treated residents like family. While the ratio was as promised, I felt the care, staff competency and medication approaches were not. Often, I found my dad sitting alone, in the corner, unable to move or open his eyes from sedation. With drool down his cheek and leftover food on his face. He would often have globs of liquid medicine in his mouth from staff trying to give medication while he is unresponsive to verbal commands and touch. I would often find him in this state with no interaction from staff leaving me to advocate for his needs. We felt like outsiders and an inconvenience. This was not the care I was promised. We had multiple instances of their staff not following hospice medication orders. We witnessed staff administer anxiety medication labeled for as-needed use when my dad was already so sedated that he was unresponsive. I was able to intervene while present, but who knows how much extra, unneeded medication was given when I wasn't. It was also administered incorrectly. Instead of administering sublingually (as stated on the medical order), they were dissolving the meds and shooting them down his throat with a syringe. This is incorrect and can be very dangerous especially if the person cannot swallow as medication can be forced into the lungs. I believe this was occurring as my dad would often cough after being given medicine this way. There was an instance where the doctor ordered a stop to a medication, yet staff continued to administer it for four days! For four days my dad was given discontinued medication IN ADDITION to the medication that replaced it. The head RN at Gianna locked the medication in a cabinet in her office to prevent staff from continuing to administer it. Apparently, she was not confident enough in her staff to be able to verbally tell them not to give this medication. When my dad was bedridden at end-of-life stages and NEEDED this medication, it couldn't be accessed. This caused a 2.5-hour delay while we waited for the medication to arrive. If that wasn't bad enough, once the medicine arrived, staff administered the medicine incorrectly. My dad began vomiting and choking after a few doses. We immediately alerted staff. There was no urgency by them to help which is VERY alarming in this type of situation. I would hate to see what would have happened if he was alone during this episode. After alerting the hospice nurse of what occurred, she had to call Gianna's staff to educate them on how to give medication sublingually as written in the medication orders. After the medication was given correctly, relief was seen almost immediately. I believe that none of the prior doses were effective due to incorrect administration. All this to say there was so much prolonged and unnecessary suffering that took place because of mistakes that should never have happened at a facility of this caliber. Sublingual medication at end-of-life stages is extremely common. It was shocking to me that their "experienced" staff were not familiar with how to give medication this way. These events support my experience of lack of competence and compassion within the staff and lack of proper RN oversight/direction. Medication mistakes are unacceptable and can be life threatening. This was far from the end-of-life experience I wanted for my dad and family. It certainly was not the experience I expected given what was advertised to me and the price that came along with it. While I should have been focused on enjoying what little time I had left with my dad, I felt forced to monitor staff to ensure they were performing care properly, giving the right medications, and administering medications correctly. I feel robbed of this time. The only silver lining is that my dad and family didn't have to suffer through the poor care and experience of this facility for long. Although our stay was brief, the damage caused by this facility was large. If you care for your loved one and the end-of-life experience you have with them, I recommend you steer clear of this facility.

Ever since I began my treatments with Dr. Erhardt in December 2022, It's clear that he lacks…read moreempathy for individuals dealing with chronic pain. The initial therapies with him resulted in some improvement, but regrettably, the progress was short-lived. I decided to put my Nucca treatments on hold, so I contacted Dr. Erhardt to inquire about receiving a refund for the remaining balance on my account. He agreed. The credit was promised, but months passed with a series of excuses. It would have been nice if he had been honest and transparent with his refund policy. Despite not getting a refund, I proceeded to see him, as the adjustments provided some relief. I also wanted to continue because I had recently purchased a package. The moment that made me realize he lacked compassion was when I reached out to him about my back pain. I wanted to see him for an adjustment before leaving for out of town. I reached out via text to inquire about scheduling an appointment. He replied, "You were in alignment yesterday. I don't think you will be out today unless you messed yourself up." I brought up this text to him in December 2023, and he dismissed it as lighthearted banter. In the same month, he suddenly ignored my attempts to see him. Update: On January 30, 2024, I received a text message from Dr. Erhardt inquiring about my well-being. Are you serious? It's been over a month without any response, and now he's contacting me. I reached out to him after he made contact, expressing my frustration about investing a whole year of care with him, only to have him suddenly stop all contact with me. He said he takes all the blame for getting distracted and failing to return my calls. I believe he contacted me because of a review I had written. A few patient reviews on his Facebook page from December 2023 show that he was not distracted. He doesn't care about my well-being, only his reputation. The appointment scheduling at Reconnection Chiropractic needs significant improvement too. I called Dr. Erhardt's office for a same-day appointment and promptly left a voicemail at 9 am on several different occasions. He would wait until the end of the day and text me a sudden response, saying he had an appointment in twenty minutes. This would require me to drop everything and quickly rush from St. Paul to Woodbury. I found this very stressful. Looking back at my time with Dr. Aaron, it's clear that he had no intention of continuing the doctor-patient relationship with me and wanted to make my interaction with him difficult so I would go away. Well done, Dr. Aaron!

My family has…read morereceived nothing but phenomenal, compassionate, and deeply excellent medical care here - we've had wonderful experiences with Dr. Macdonald, Dr. Golden, and Dr. Nelson - and have switched several friends and family to receive care here. I really feel like the staff (everyone from reception to nurses to the docs) cares deeply for you as a patient and finding the best outcome that you feel comfortable with (not the kind of experience you'd have at a Fairview or a HealthPartners). They are super accessible and have urgent appointments if you need, there is always a doctor on call 24/7, and we've never had an issue getting in. This clinic is how primary care should be!!!

They use some sketchy person from somewhere in her basement now. She never returns calls either. They use to have 5 very experienced doctors for the first 15 years I was there. Then Dr Nelson went part time to golf and play footsie with Fairview corporate. ALL the rest of the stable doctors all quit or retired. I was forced to change doctors 3 times the last 2 1/2 years. The facility now has 2 PAs, which isn't a huge thing but you now have 1.5 doctors running 2 PAs. And both PA quit after several months. And the one full time doctor slot changes every 18 months. So you have 1/2 a physician with more than 10 years experience. The nurses rock though and total angels. After 18 years it made it hard for me to switch clinics but I CANNOT bear their incompetence any longer. Avoid this clic and just find another Fairview Clinic because RMG is a Fairview offshoot anyway. AVOID at all costs.
