Reviews of Allina Health Forest Lake Clinic (Psychiatrist)

Juliet H

Very Happy with Dr. Kammer. She was great with my Granddaughter. I felt like she truly cared.

Anthony Brindamour

Friendly staff, not a long wait at all.

Sarah Buchner

My father spent over a year complaining about stomach problems , and Dr. Salek ignored them and pushed them off as something else . My sister finally found a different Dr. and they sent him in for tests and found out he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer . If Salek would have listened to him sooner when he started complaining about his pain he might still be alive today. Instead he had a horrible ending and bleeding out in his sleep . Also this same Dr. treated my mother who also died from a stage 4 aggressive breast cancer . He had been her doctor for sometime and he never caught this one until it was too late either. Not sure that this person has the qualifications to be a doctor , and beware of his poor listening skills ........

Dr. Julie Kammer is the BEST pediatrician around! We see her for our 3 children. Every office visit, and after not seeing our children for a few months or more, she always remembers their history (which is typically uneventful). She always is so nice and cares about her patients. She listens to any concerns and makes my children feel comfortable. Thank you Dr. Kammer!

Dr. Semmler was a misogynistic creep. He dismissed all my symptoms as psychosomatic, and then asked me if I was dating anyone! He tried to prescribe me psych meds instead of putting any effort into resolving my tachycardia and fainting. Went to an actual doctor to get help. Plus they way over-billed me. Looking at other reviews, it sounds like a lot of the “doctors” here are dismissive quacks looking for an easy buck.

Rachel Welsch

I really like my doctor and the front staff are always quick. The nurses are awesome too.

Caro Bogel

Great place, great care

Michael Oftedahl

Very friendly staff and minimal wait times.

It's been over two weeks and we can't even get my son's inhaler prescription refilled. Their internal communication must consist of two tin cans and a piece of string.

I was blessed to find the most caring Dr at this clinic after moving back to MN from TX after having the same Dr for 22 yrs . Dr Kelsey Lynch is amazing. She truly cares about her patients.

They treat you like like an infant and if you question them they get very rude

Had a deer tick attached. Sent it to a lab. Results came back positive for Lymes Disease. Called my Dr, she put me on 20 days of Doxycycline immediately. My son also had a deer tick from our hunting trip. He noticed his a day after mine. Went to Allina Forest Lake and saw Dr Jeffrey Dahlquist. He wouldn't give my 26 yr old son, who I have power of attorney over, any meds after explaining our situation. He insisted on doing lab tests. My Dr said that labs would not show anything unti months have passed. I told him that but he disagreed and was very insistent of lab tests. They would give him meds after labs, but time is crucial when Lymes is involved. We had to walk out. This is not the first time I've had bad experiences with Allina. They wouldn't see me when I had a cancerous looking spot on my back, due to covid they wouldn't see anyone. Had to find a Dr that was not affiliated with Allina. They only care about profits, not the patient. I hope this helps anyone looking for care after a tick bite.

Allina health in itself isn’t bad, bAllina health in itself isn’t bad, but Dr. Benjamin Lambertson is horrible. Not very personable and just seems to be there to do “his time” before he can move on back to North Carolina. All he did was type in his computer the first time I told him what the problem was.... he was more interested in just getting through the “check the box” than listening to this actual patient. And then after all his typing, he just gave me a couple pills and left. He didn’t listen in the first place with the history and background of my issue nor did he seem to care. “Here are some pills. Bye.” ????‍♂️ Probably the worst doc I’ve ever seen in terms of caring for patients and prescribing the correct means of going forward. Thumbs down. ???? ut Dr. Benjamin Lambertson is horrible.

When calling into clinic for a appointment, am on hold listening to a recording for over 20 minutes, without anyone taking my call.... Called multiple times with same outcome! Not my choice of customer service! Never got to schedule appointment either!

Monique Gillen

After years of struggling with symptoms the team of staff here got me back to feeling well.

Tracie Ripley

I like the staff and have had a great great experience with this clinic. Dr O is one of the most caring and intelligent doctors I have ever dealt with. She really took the time to help me get better. Her non judgmental approach helped me to accept the meds and changes that I needed to make. I will always be grateful for the care I have received.

Hockey is Life

Went and saw the doctor on a Monday for a popping sound on the bottom of foot. Hurt to walk. Took x-rays and placed me in a boot. Scheduled me to see podiatrist which is only there certain days. Friday was the soonest I could see the doctor. Do to traffic I was 15 minutes late for the appointment and the the doctor had left. I chose not to reschedule and will go to a different provider. I can’t count on 2 hands how many times I had to wait for an appointment. Now I have to find a new podiatrist plus be miserable all weekend and try and make an appointment on Monday. Very disappointed. I will be taking my family to another clinic from now on.

Jay Frenning

terrible communication.

Patti Murphy

I am very grateful to Dr. Brett Salek. I completely trust him with my care and know that I will be heard. He listens with compassion and treats with expertise. I changed insurance plans this last year and I had the option to see any provider from any network I want; there was no other provider that I would want or trust with my care or my families care. Also kudos to the front desk staff and to nurse Leah. Everyone I come in contact with has compassion, professionalism and expertise. I highly recommend this Provider and this clinic!

Sean Michel

Got a call two hours before my appointment and they just said your provider isn't going to be in the office today? No explanation you just have to reschedule through our general hotline? I go on MyChart and the appointment is gone as if it was never even scheduled w/ no notes or anything. Seriously Allina? This is how you deal with this stuff? I get emergencies happen, but wow leaving your patients in the dark here, when they might be shifting around work schedules as it is. I wish I could not show up for work with zero explanation needed.
