Southdale OB/GYN Consultants

Dr. Swigert is great..shes very honest and up front...I didnt care for her right away but once I got to know her she was great. Unfortunately, she wasnt available when my son was born. Also Dr. Tweedy is WONDERFUL, she was the doctor on call but didnt make it in time for the birth, she was either getting married or going on vacation for our birth and she actually came and visited us and welcomed Max into the world. She is great. I usually rotate doctors there because the DR's are always booked and I cant get the same doctor every time.

I think Dr. Davenport who delivered my son is excellent. Dr. Louie is great too. I have never had a bad experience with any doctor there-- I go to Burnsville office-- and I've seen most of them... I also really like Michelle who's a nurse practitioner.

I actually have dealt with almost all of the doctors there and think they are phenomenal. But I try and see Dr. Tweedy if at all possible. She somehow manages to make an uncomfortable visit absolutely comfortable. She always really listens, reviews charts beforehand and is never in a hurry. I highly recommend her! She wasn't able to deliver either one of my children but again, all the doctors are great so it is a good clinic to belong to!

Dr Torres is nice; however, I did change her because when I asked her if she can assure me that she will be with me during my delivery she said "I will IF I am in call".....
For me it was important to build a relationship with my Doctor.....so I changed to another one, who assured me that will be with me BUT in the end, he wasn't either....so....
I guess that Dr Torres was good and honest.

I saw around 4 doctors during my delivery, what I didn't like is that they made me wait 28 hours of pain... In the end Dr Curran help me during my delivery, and he was good doing my C section...my husband told me that he was very nice with us and with our family, but I was really tired to feel his kindness…

I hope this helps...

Dr. Swigert has delivered both of our children, and has been GREAT to us. Dr. Torres-Dedecker helped us through a miscarriage and was very sweet. Dr. Curran (a male) is FANTASTIC...I think he was voted best OBGYN in Minnesota magazine a few years back. He is very easy to be around, even if you are not normally comfortable around male doctors. I've had Dr. Crandall before too, and I like her as well, although I haven't had as much experience with her.

I'm not a fan of Dr. Noonan (a male) or Dr. Mackay. But that's just a personal preference to their bedside manner.

Oh, and Edie, one of the nurse practictioners is AWESOME!!! I've seen her a lot when I didn't need a doctor for an appointment. Great sense of humor, listens and answers all questions, etc.

Overall, it's been a great clinic. We've delivered two babies with them, and will go back if we ever have more.

Good Luck!
