Family Practice near St. Michael, MN

“My personal experience at the Allina Clinic in Elk River is and has been absolutely excellent in every way.. from the front desk - check in - to the nurse to the doctor and including the lab.. It can be nerve-wracking to have a visit.. but not here! And sitting amongst other people waiting - everyone seems at ease...it's absolutely worth the travel from Mora to the Elk River Clinic. I worked in a hospital for 7 years.. I know great service - at a professional level - combined with the human level .. I am never disappointed! Thank you! For excellent experiences consistently...”

“We are not a family who goes to the doctor for every little ailment and have had some negative experiences at nearby clinics that have really made me hesitant to seek care. Yesterday my 17 year old daughter has been dealing with cold symptoms for at least a month, if not longer. Her right ear has been continually plugged up and is affecting her hearing. So we thought we better rule out an ear infection. Dr Stephannie was the doctor on staff when we went to the Urgent Care. Urgent Care waits are normally long and I can only imagine the stress on the doctor trying to help all of those patients. Stephanie was present for us during our visit, we didn't feel rushed, even though we knew the long line waiting behind us, we felt heard. She didn't make us feel shamed for waiting so long to come in, she didn't try to diagnose something that wasn't there, leading us to an Rx we didn't need. In short, both my daughter and I immediately upon getting outside of the clinic said "I really like her!" Thank you Dr Stephanie for giving me a little more faith in the health system. You possess all the important traits that a patient wants in a doctor. You are knowledgeable and balance that with a true care and relateability to your patient. THANK YOU!”

“Great group all around – very nice, professional, and efficient. I’ve consistently had a positive experience here. Dr. Nabeel Ailabouni is especially awesome – he listens, responds to my needs with care and precision, both in person and through the MyChart system. It’s reassuring to know I have a provider who’s not only skilled but also attentive. Highly recommend!

Update (Nov 30, 2025): Still a great team—friendly, efficient front desk and nurses. Dr. Nabeel Ailabouni continues to be outstanding: listens, explains clearly, and follows up fast on MyChart. His team has really helped me overcome some insurance challenges as well. I always feel heard and well cared for. Big Lake’s lucky to have this clinic.”
