Civil Surgeon in Minneapolis area?
All,
I know USCIS website can show a list of civil surgeons by zip code, but I'm hoping anyone here can recommend someone in the MSP area that they've used.
I recently read of a case elsewhere of someone whose civil surgeon purposely left portions of the medical form incomplete, so he could gain from repeated visits from the applicant. The poor guy received RFEs, delaying his case (and at the same time his visa number retrogressed
). Not saying this will happen to us, but I'd rather go by recommendations.
Thanks,

I haven't heard of anything like that in the Mpls area. I've had several friends go through the process and they haven't had anything negative to say about the CSs they used.
My husband went to a Russian guy at TexaTonka Clinic (or something like that) in St. Louis Park. It was his first US doctor's visit and he hates doctors - but it went just fine. The only thing he had to return for was a lung xray (couldn't do it at the time because he had a cold?). Pretty straight forward.
Good luck!

We used one close to home in Downtown, but it was kind of rough 
An immigration lawyer friend recommends Dr. Yohannes Gebre at the Midway Family Clinic .
Don't forget that if you have been vaccinated against TB, you should ask the civil surgeon for the TB blood test, rather than the skin test as the skin test will show a positive result.
