It was a good experience.

The visit was exactly as I anticipated.

The doctor was so kind, gentle and respectful. The one thing was I had to ask multiple times for a diagnosis. He was very thorough with the X-ray - showing me there was no break anywhere, etc. But then, he just sent me off with bandaids and antibiotic cream for the topical wound. I asked why my finger was numb and swollen and painful deep inside, and he just told me it would go away on its own. I asked again what the actual diagnosis was, wondering if it was a sprain? He agreed it was. I also asked what symptoms I should monitor that might mean I should come back to the doctor, which he answered. I didn’t love having to ask for a diagnosis and follow up steps. Apart from that, everyone was lovely. Thank you!

Dr. Wegener listens and believes me. He is very patient centered.

The doctors and care team were great. Friendly, welcoming, and exuded kindness. The system used to remind me of the appointment was obnoxious. I don’t need repeated texts and emails, especially after I completed the online check in and confirmed the appointment. It was borderline harassment.

I always have a good experience at this clinic.
I wasn't a great experience with my doctor joel wagner , i trust what he says to me. I tell him everything every question I've brought to him, which are many he answers and most of the time, I should say all of the time we come to a resolution of the outcome of what we should do I like that he listens to my input and we go from there. And then I listened to him , and then we decide.

Construction in the area made it a challenge to find the clinic.

Everything was really great. I went into urgent care and the person at the desk was really friendly and I got taken care of. And then fortunately, the wait wasn't too long this time and the person who saw me first was really great. And yeah, again, really friendly, knowledgeable, answered all my questions. And then when the provider came in, same thing. Couldn't have been better. And was able to then get my medication, you know, a little bit later at the pharmacy they sent me to. And yeah, great top to bottom. Couldn't say better things. So I appreciate everything.

The young sir who was the receptionist helping my son get check in was pleasant and patience. That starting experience made the appointment better.

The biggest problem is scheduling. It took months to get in to see Dr. Wegener. There were two postponements, one caused by you and one caused by me, and each of them was for months. And so you have to continue to work on the issue of providing prompt service. A doctor you can't see isn't worth much. Thank you.

I'd like to compliment the entire staff over there from the doctor to the anesthesiologist to the nurse anesthetist to the nurses that prepare you to the nurses that transport you. Everybody is top of the line, extremely professional. Really appreciate going over there when I have to have some procedure done. Thank you.

The assistant who roomed me was very good about giving me the information I needed to navigate to the lab and back. Dr. Wegener sought my input about treatment and gave me good information to make a choice.

Way too much paperwork.

Urgent Care is an almost definite choice these days. Not like the good old days when you could have your primary care doctor, see you. Now, they make appointments way ahead of time, and then change whenever it's convenient for the doctor. Point in case, I was to have an annual exam on Jan. 26. Now Ican't get in until March 23. Customer care with a personal doctor has long gone out the window.

Why is the front door locked? There’s only one entrance in or out of the building. It’s very inconvenient and there are no exits marked other than the one that I came in, but if there was a fire or if there’s an emergency the building, sometimes it’s kind of scary cause it doesn’t show you how to get out if you need to

Thank you!

This was a very positive experience considering the circumstances. Dr. Wagener was kind and compassionate and took his time to listen and explain. The front staff and nurses and X-ray tech were all pleasant and patient. Thank you all.

Both Dara and Dr. Wegener were warm, compassionate professionals, which I deeply appreciated after the pain I had experienced in the previous couple days. They both were active listeners, and answered all my questions. I am very thankful that my friends insisted that they take me to Urgent Care post haste.

I had a productive and pleasant visit to see Dr. Wegener at M Health Fairview Uptown clinic. Getting into the building was a bit confusing, as it took me a minute before I found the signs directing me to the right entrance. The receptionist was very pleasant and courteous, and helped me get checked in quickly and effortlessly. The phlebotomist at the laboratory was excellent at her job and followed procedures to a T. The nurse who took my vitals made sure I understood what was happening at each step. I appreciated his cheerful but soothing demeanor. Dr. Wegener as always is a thoughtful and experienced and a great resource for understanding my condition. He laid out a number of options and I felt fully in control of my healthcare choices. I felt both better educated and reassured about starting the next phase of my treatment. Thank you to everyone at Fairview Uptown.

I very much appreciate all the Fairview Uptown staff who read my request on MyChart and made sure I could meet with a doctor the same day. It was above and beyond on everyone’s part
