Report
I have been a patient at this hospital for the last twenty years. I am a veteran and all of my health care is contract paid by the veterans administration. Never had a problem until in 2020. They have billed me as self pay, instead of billing the va. I have told them over and over again, and the VA has sent them letters. I also provided the hospital paperwork for billing when I checked into my appointment as I was instructed and was told it was all taken care of. Then months later the harassment began when they started calling me. They have not provided me with any explanations as to why the VA

The worst clinic i have ever been to. Why even have a building if you can't see a doctor in person? No you can't come in the building if your sick! Well why do you think I am here? I'm bored? This was at the Lindstrom clinic. Thank goodness they let me in at the St Croix Clinic were they gave me a chest x ray and I found I have pneumonia. May as well set up a drive thru like McDonalds. I had better service at a CVS Minute CLinic

Report
Had a stressful family emergency that resulted in an er visit in the middle of the night. When I was able to go was confronted by a rude nurse in the er department. Not saying all of the people are difficult but the way she acted was not even remotely professional or appropriate given the circumstances. Oh and who ever reads these at the hospital don't bother answering back. There is no sorry that will make what happen ok.

Full of incompetent people. They violate HIPPA laws just for one thing. Know someone went in for a pfo because of a stroke and they mis judge the size. They said it was 1mm go to regions to get it fixed and turns out to be 9mm. Seems like their doctors are okay with eh good enough. Nurses seems high and cant even do her job. Havent heard any good things about this place.
