"I left my appointment with Joy E. O’Donnell feeling disappointed, frustrated, and honestly dismissed. ... Any question I asked was met with silence, followed by her handing me a printed flier and asking if I needed anything else."
— LocalityBiz (Review for HealthPartners Clinic St. Paul Como)"Since Health Partner's took them over, they have been run into the ground. For an in-person visit, I have to wait 4 months to see my primary care physician."
