I received pre-natal care with this clinic a few years ago while pregnant with my third kiddo. I was never able to see the same doctor more than once and I was high risk with a complicated pregnancy. My prenatal care was incredibly negligent; gestational diabetes not monitored, inconsistent care, etc. At one point, I was told I HAD to have an ultrasound every 72 hours until baby was born otherwise my "baby could die." No explanation about why, just that I had to have these ultrasounds. Juggling 2 other kids and a job, I managed to make this work. Each ultrasound tech that I had said they had never heard of such a thing, ultrasounds every 72 hours was something they'd never experienced in their career. Long story short, my insurance didn't cover these ultrasounds because they were totally unnecessary. After my son was born, our 2 year old contracted lead poisoning from our home so we had to move quite suddenly. Upon moving my health declined to the point of not being able to work. I was mostly bed-ridden for two years. Happy to say that I fought my way back to health and am now working fulltime. We are desperately trying to dig out of debt incurred by my daughter's illness and my health issues. Yesterday I received a letter of garnishment of wages from this ridiculous and heartless clinic. I am willing to bet that this clinic spent more resources and money chasing us down than is actually owed to them. Horrible, horrible clinic with absolutely heartless and incompetent folks running it. I might also mention that I've tried numerous times to get my medical records from this clinic to no avail. I've been told that they'd be mailed, never were. I was just straight up denied one time when I called and mentioned that the clinic was suing me and I wanted documentation pertaining to aforementioned ultrasounds. The operator told me that since lawyers were involved, she couldn't release my records. It is just all so bizarre that it's hard to believe. Now... we are struggling to get by after illness and a pandemic rocked our family and left us homeless and living in a tent for 9 weeks with small children, and now that I'm finally well enough to work again, my wages are being garnished. Well played, fairview... Well played. Good to know that you continue to show care and compassion for your patients. That's what it's all...
   Read moreHad our 3rd surgery there today. First one went fine. Second one we were asked where we wanted our home prescriptions sent to and I told them where due to coverage and pricing. While my daughter was having surgery, I drove to pick up her prescriptions which is just down the street at the outpatient hospital. When I arrived there I was told no prescriptions were sent there. I drive back to Fairview Maple Grove and went to their Fairview pharmacy and it was sent there. So I had to drive all around which was so annoying. Donât ask me where we want our prescriptions sent to if youâre just going to send it to your own pharmacy anyways. Anyhow, we overlooked this incident since our surgeon does a lot of surgery at the FMG surgery center. The third surgery was today. It was just an easy little local surgery at 7am. Daughter was awake for it. Told it would take about an hour or so. Waited for 20 min then left to go buy coffee at Daily dose. While I was driving back the nurse called and said that the surgery is all done and that she came out to the waiting room looking for me, but I wasnât there. She asked me where I was and I told her and that I would be there is less then two mins. She proceeded to be very rude and practically yelled at me saying that âI shouldnât have left because my daughter who is 16 is still a minor and but that that is neither there or here!â I was supprised that someone could be that rude. Again, our third surgery and have had okâs to leave before without any problems. Did not think this time would be an issue just to go get a cup of coffee. If she would have spoken nicely, I would have just said that I didnât know that because we were allowed to leave in the past. Iâm also a nurse and no matter how mad or upset you are, you do not speak to your pt and family that way. We will not be returning to that surgery center. There are many places that offer a peaceful, calming, non-rude environment especially since weâre paying a lot of money for the useage of their beds and equipments and nurses. Thereâs a multitudes if competition out there that would better fill...
   Read moreI had to see a new endocrine doctor for my diabetes during my pregnancy in 2014. The whole time (2 months) I had diabetes care there, the doctor was trying to calculate my doses and was trying to understand what and how much medication I was already taking. During the time she (doctor) was giving me an attitude like it was my fault that I was a diabetic. She was making remarks like I should've, could've, would've attitude. Making me feel like I was stupid. I was trying to understand how much to take and not to take. I was trying my best to understand her and follow her directions. She was too much. Maybe dissappointed that my diabetes wasn't up to her standards? I know she wanted to understand my health issues during my pregnancy, but she (doctor) didn't need to be rude about it and make me feel like I'm stupid with diabetes. That being said I was so uncomfortable that I asked to transfer to see another endocrine doctor in the cities.
During my diabetes care in the cities some of the doctors was the same. Being pregnant is hard alone. Having diabetes is even more challenging. Doctors should be more caring/sensitive to us cause we choose them and their staff to have great care. Any care. Even with doctors mistreating me, I always give the respect. Why am I giving a review now and not 2 years ago? Because I didn't really care then. Now that I need the continued diabetes care, my primary doctor is referring me back to the same endocrine doctor. I'm rethinking to change clinics because endocrine doctor's are...
