I have been with Burnsville family for many years, Dr Laura Scherf was my primary doctor and I loved her, she gets me and have helped me in many ways. She recently retired and I am very sad but very happy for her.

Went in for having some abnormal chest pain and was able to get the proper care for my pain. The staff and doctors where all so knowledgeable and friendly which all made me feel so welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. I will absolutely be going to BFP for all my health care needs!

I see Stephanie Brandt PA, and she's really great! Everytime I've been in for a visit it is quick, friendly & professional! I've never seen any of the other doctors but the staff are all really friendly :

My wife went in for a routine BioMetric Screening. My company offers a discount on premiums if done annually. I've done it for the last 10 years and have never been billed a cent for the screening. Because my Dr Office coded it correctly as a Preventive visit when ordering the lab work. At BFP, their Dr submitted it as a screening for a Disorder. My assumption is they didn't know how else to code it for Lab work so they just picked something to get it done.

Lack of education in my opinion. I'm strongly considering filing a Fraudulent complaint (Over Billing) with my company, which is the insurance company our insurance is with. My wife will not be going back here. I go to Fairview clinic, and they code it correctly. She will be going there from now on.

I was told in order to get a note for my husband's high risk health condition for work and me isolating it would require an office visit of myself. I felt taken advantage of. Multiple employees were aware of what I needed. Once I completed my visit the note I was given was vague and got returned immediately. Rathburn contacted me stating she wouldn't provide what I needed and laughed that everyone would not be working if she approved a note.

She was unprofessional and we won't be patients here moving forward. Everyone I spoke with including the doctor knew what I needed and still made me do an office visit I will now be charged for. Right away I should have been told they don't honor that note. Instead they took advantage and will now be charging me for a visit I didn't need at all. It's fraud. Beware.
