Clinic: Fairview Apple Valley or Fairview Burnsville?

kris_kelsey

A friend of mine recently moved to Apple Valley from TX.  Since she has Fairview insurance she needs to pick one primary care clinic.  She feels like she needs Family Practice (and maybe OB later) as well as Peds.  Any experience at these two clinics?

Does she mind seeing a male?  I like Dr. Balgobin at Fairview Cedar Ridge (Apple Valley).  My cousin sees Dr. O'Neill and likes her as well. Both physicians are Family Medicine who do OB.  FWIW, my cousin switched from Ridges OB/Gyn to Dr. O'Neill because of the wait at Ridges.  But I know there are some good physicians at Ridges Ob/Gyn as well.  I'm assuming if she'd have to designate one primary care clinic then she'd have to use Ridges Peds and IM.  She probably won't go wrong with either choice.  I work with both clinics.

I LOVE Southdale OBGYN - Dr. Meshke. (female) And Southdale Pedis Dr. Anderson. (Male) They are located right next to the Ridges hospital in Burnsville.

We love them both! They are so wonderful! Highly recommend them both.
