These preventive visits help identify potential health issues early while establishing baseline wellness metrics for growing children.

Patients receive timely care through walk-in visits or scheduled same-day appointments at both clinic locations.

We had a fantastic experience with this group. Easy scheduling, kind staff, and so kid friendly. They have little kid sized tables and a little toy on the table to help kiddos feel comfortable. We came here for our COVID vaccine when this was the only group in the broader Twin Cities was able to tell us anything about vaccine availability and the timeline. I SO appreciate their transparency and communication to parents with this process. I would recommend them to everyone.

I would (and do) recommend Michelle Ohnstad to anyone looking for a caring, calming and knowledgeable provider. She's helped me with numerous questions from infancy to toddler years, and I've appreciated her insight and support greatly. The staff is also lovely, and the environment is fun and friendly.

Report
Very convenient hours. The staff is friendly. We found the practitioners not very experienced. i.e. Prescribed eardrops for an ear infection, but failed to mention we should get the fluid out first. When I called a couple times for advice, the practitioner was audibly clicking away on her computer and reading verbatim for the advice. Note: providers are pediatric nurse practitioners vs pediatricians

I would HIGHLY recommend Grow Pediatrics for anyone with children looking for care that is intelligent, compassionate, and reliable. Very easy to connect with nurses, schedule same day appointments and meet with incredibly well educated and talented pediatricians.

We love this place! My family moved to Richfield last year, but were still seeing our doctor in St. Paul. I found out about Grow Pediatrics on Facebook and loved that it was so close! We did a booster shot in June and then a 2-year-old appointment last week. I love the toys in the waiting area for my son, as well as the books. I also love the bright colors throughout the office. We were able to have a nice long appointment and ask lots of questions with our pediatrician and never felt rushed. The quality of care is fantastic!
