I was told last year that I had to come in person for my medical cannabis recertification. I live 3 hours away, and had to make a 6 hour round trip for a 15 min appt. I'm disabled and it's difficult to make that kind of long trip. I ended up doing it, but was told I would be able to do virtual appts after. Well guess what? It's that time again this year, and Michelle is trying to get me to drive that long distance again for an in person meeting. Unacceptable! There's one thing I absolutely can not stand, and that's a liar. Now my medical card will expire on the 20th of this month and I won't be able to get my medicine for ptsd.. Thanks for treating disabled folks like dirt.
I was referred here for my child with behavioral problems. I have NEVER been to a Dr that makes me feel so heard in my life. I told her what was going on and not only did she listen she helped! She interacted with my kid in such an amazing way making sure to talk to him mainly and also make him feel heard. We've only had one Dr appointment here but I will be switching both my boys to Gretchen. She is absolutely AMAZING. I can tell l she has a heart of gold, cares about the kids and truly wants to help.
Michelle is an absolutely wonderful doctor. She always tells you about all your options, helps you understand the benefits and risks of each choice, and makes sure you have a say in the matter. I always feel informed after speaking with her. She has a kind heart and truly personally cares about her clients. Cannot recommend her enough The nurses at the office are also very friendly and I've only had pleasant experiences being there.
Dakota Child and Family Clinic is excellent. Their patient care is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I felt that the doctor listened to me, gave me options, and was extremely empathetic and kind.
I wouldn't go here if I were you. They assure you one thing, then turn around and take it back. It's wrong on so many levels.
I use Dakota Child & Family Clinic for my children and myself for our primary health care. The staff and clinicians are the best. Both my kids are on the ASD spectrum. Gretchen really understands kids with all needs. Michelle really understands the parents that are managing these kids. It is a win win situation. In addition, knowing this clinic helps the community with a variety of needs no matter the financial situation makes me feel good about going there.
I refer families with complex children to DCFC all the time, especially children with a history of complex trauma and/or Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. I also refer young adults and adults with trauma histories. And I also recommend that parents of complex kids get their primary care at this clinic, as I do myself. They understand us and our kids. There is no better place in the Twin Cities to get comprehensive care. Is the clinic a shiny dazzling facility? No, it is a real place that serves some of the toughest patients out there and they place value on relationships, care and support, not fancy artwork and waste of money amenities that many larger clinics value over relationships. It is where I get my care, and where I recommend the families I work with get care. I time and time again, get emails/texts/phone calls from my families, almost in tears that they finally feel understood by a medical professional. Make the switch, it is well worth it.
We love Dakota Child and Family Clinic. We have been patients for 11 years and would not go anywhere else. All if the providers and staff treat each person with care and compassion. The commitment to community is amazing. Our family trusts Dakota Child and Family Clinic to keep us healthy and feeling great! DCFC is committed to beyond excellent care and we are so thankful! If I could give 20 stars I would!
DCFC has always been there for my family. We will not take our kids anywhere else. Our girls love going to their appts to see Dr. Gretchen Moen. We love that we can all get our care in the same clinic. Michelle Christian is awesome and we always feel like we are recieving the best care! Our family appreciates that DCFC is dedicated to teaching future providers and have always had great experiences seeing students.
This place is not a good fit. We have seen this nurse practitioner for 3 weeks and the first time she puts my daughter on a bunch of medicine. She doesn't come in to her appointments and just sends her student to give results and what the plan is. She doesn't listen to what my daughter and I have to say. Gretchen moen is not a good nurse practitioner!
