Pediatrics through seniors · Minneapolis

Primary care that remembers your name.

Willow Creek Family Medicine keeps Minneapolis households on one chart—from kindergarten vaccines to Medicare wellness visits. Same-day sick slots open at 7 a.m., chronic conditions get quarterly labs scheduled before you reach the parking ramp, and nurse navigators return portal messages within one business day instead of hiding behind a phone tree.

Interpreter services for Somali, Spanish, and Hmong on request.

Women's health

Pap and contraception counseling, prenatal handoffs, and menopause visits with same clinician continuity.

Behavioral health

Collaborative psych visits embedded in primary care with warm handoffs—not a separate phone number.

Patient questions

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes for families and adults; we cap panel size so visit times stay unhurried.

Do you offer video visits?

Follow-ups and some sick visits can be virtual when an exam is not required.

Which hospitals do you use?

We admit to Abbott Northwestern and coordinate with Children's Minnesota for pediatrics.

How do refills work?

Request through the portal; chronic meds include a yearly visit check unless your plan allows otherwise.
