I have been nothing but impresses with the professionals at Cannon Valley Vets. My cats are difficult to handle and hate the vet, but the employees at Cannon Valley Vets always do an excellent job in caring for the animals they treat. Their facility is clean, the service is consistent and their prices are reasonable.

Being in college, the occasional illness is something that is fairly commonplace. In my worst bout (in the realm of not walking, talking, eating, or sleeping) I decided to go to Allina to try to figure out what was wrong with me. The waits to get in for an appointment were quite long, and they required several return visits (when the effort of walking across campus to get on Northfield Transit was enough to completely exhaust me) in an attempt to diagnose me. In addition, the doctor I got (started with a V, sorry I can't remember it) was very creepy, just came in to the examination room, sat down across from me, and just stared for a couple of minutes...getting answers from him was like pulling teeth. On top of this, they never figured out what was wrong with me (it passed in about two weeks) nor did they bother to even contact me to let me know about test results (I had to keep calling them to badger them). The only positive was that they are fairly easy to deal with as a new patient...getting set up with insurance and whatnot is not overly difficult. I would say avoid Allina though except as a last resort.

My family has been going to Northfield's Allina Clinic for about 10 years. For the most part, I've had good experiences, although there are one or two doctors that I warn friends away from. On the other hand, my kids see a great general practitioner, Dr. Baumgartner - she takes a lot of time with them and they like her a lot. My husband also goes to Allina for his annual physicals (he sees Dr. Reitz, who is also good). Drs. Runzheimer and Labinski are also good choices.
My main problem with this Allina clinic is their problem with keeping specialists on staff. They replaced two excellent OB/GYNs with at least one that I didn't like (like many other Northfield women, I switched clinics to follow the doctor I'd had for years) and another one I didn't ever meet. Now all the OB/GYNs are gone, replaced by a general practitioner who specializes in women's health. I'm sorry, that is not the same thing. I have a complicated reproductive history and a family history of ovarian cancer. Women need to have OB/GYNs available to them. This Allina has also had trouble retaining doctors in other specialties, including pediatrics.
Allina is a fine clinic to go to for basic healtch care, but for complicated problems requiring specialists, I'd look elsewhere.
PROS: some good doctors
CONS: some doctors not so good, management makes bad decisions
