Essentia or Aspirus for speciality docs?

I know they are good and bad for each place. But I wanna hear from real patients on who chooses which one and why. I I live about an hour away from Duluth and go to a small independent clinic for my primary care. It’s a clinic that does have to refer out for specialty doctors. I’m always ask where I want to go and I never know where to go. My insurance covers both places.

I’ve been going to Essentia… but I’m kind of starting to get a bad taste in my mouth. I get every place is understaffed for medical professionals but it’s constantly feeling like I am being blown off because I am a woman in my early 40s and I am just having a midlife crisis and it’s all just in my head. I saw a cardiologist that completely blew off the fact my primary wanted a test run. I’m seeing a neurologist next week and I just have a feeling that again I’m going to be blown off.

So, I’m debating on switching over to Aspirus. But I want to hear from other patients with real life experiences between the two.
