I'm not sure what's up with all the bad reviews on here, but I've got nothing but great things to say about this clinic! Love the drop in service they provide. The staff is friendly and it's rarely busy. I would recommend PIP Maple Grove if you are looking for a clinic for your child!

I have NEVER had to deal with such rude customer service in my life. They informed me that I owed them $113 and yet the refused to say who was treated or what it was for. INCREDIBLY rude and disrespectful. WE WILL NEVER USE THIS GROUP AGAIN!

Usually happy with the care. August 7, 2018 with Dr Laura Woodbeck and nurse Michelle was not one of those days. Brought in 19y/o for physical. Part of that was removing ear wax. It was BAD! My son was crying and telling nurse to quit and she kept blasting water/ peroxide mixture into his ear from a large spray bottle with a tiny tube on top. Appt ended with clueless MD handing me a card for an ENT and telling us to use Advil for pain.
My child was screaming in pain and had blood running out of both ears! The nurse and MD both were ashen and definitely CYA. I called the ENT and we got in within the hour. ENT was concerned about burst ear drum etc. In the end, I called PIP to ask to be reimbursed for $218 bottle of ear drops, two office visits to ENT and an audiology hearing test because if the PIP people did their job right, none of that would have been necessary. The verdict is = they did nothing wrong and " regret" the inconvenience. Seriously? Very poor care and even worse patient concern. When they say they love kids etc. it's a crock.

I have mixed feelings about this clinic. We have had really great experiences with two doctors and some not good experiences with another doctor. Pros include ease of making appointments, especially at the last minute though it's usually not with the doctor we like. Their walk-in option is nice and convenient. Nurses are also super friendly and helpful. Cons are old facilities from the waiting room to the patient rooms and this is the case for the Maple grove and Brooklyn Park clinics. Also, maybe this is the norm but we have a hard time getting anyone to tell us a weight on our baby in pounds- it's always in kilograms. Lastly, there is a doctor at the BP clinic that has poor communication skills. He has made me (mom) cry twice- we will NOT see that doctor again.

Calling in to get results of a 24 hour strep test was painful. I called about my very sick child and had to repeat my story, insurance information and symptoms checklist to three different people. An hour later, they still couldn't get me the information I asked for.
