Looking for a New General Practitioner/Family Practice Doctor

I would like any recommendations people have for a good GP/family doctor in the Arden Hills, Roseville, or Shoreview area. I currently use the Allina clinic in Shoreview but since my doctor left over year ago, I haven't found anyone I connect with. I feel every time I find someone I like, they move away so I'm looking for someone a little more established. I prefer a female doctor, but am open to a male doc that comes highly recommended. I would like everyone in our family to use the same clinic (and dr. if possible) eventually, so anyone who can tell me where to try or even who to avoid, would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all for your suggestions. I really appreciate the input and will use the info to find a new doc. I'll try one more at the Allina clinic (who depends on their schedules) but at least I feel I have some good options and am not just guessing who I should see. It helps to have a clue - thank you again!!

I'm at the Allina Shoreview clinic as well.

We see Dr. Casement and we're really happy with him. My daughter, husband, and I all have him as our primary (I don't see him for OB/GYN care, though). He answers all our questions and doesn't rush us at all (we're first time parents and tend to have a lot of questions) :)

Dr. Schwartz started last year sometime, and we've seen her when Dr. Casement was not available and she was really nice, too. Her specialty is pediatric, but I think she does general practitioner care, too.

We have been working with Dr. Jane Hess, DO (Osteopath). She trained in MI where there are many Osteopath.
She works in Roseville at the Rosedale Medical Clinic in the Twin Lakes building., Corner of Fairview and Co Rd E
###-###-#### for scheduling. When she had not been available we had appts with a colleague (female) whose name I am not remembering. We were also pleased with her.
If/when I finally get around to having/needing a physical, she'll be who I see. We plan to work with her for non-specialty things.

I am at Allina-Shoreview as well and have seen a lot of the docs there. Elting-Ballard is our pediatric doc and basically our GP. But if you want a female, I have seen Anne Campbell a few times and she is great! I really connected with her (and may try to see her for myself instead of E-B when I need something). She is really warm and helpful and knowledgeable, it seems. So, those are my thoughts!

I go to the Shoreview Allina clinic as well. I am thinking you had Dr. Lee since she was my Dr. too and left for China. I am now seeing the new Dr that replaced Dr. Lee. Her name is Dr. Schwartz. She is a great Dr. My kids all see Dr. Dennison there. Dr. Glasow is the best Dr. there at that clinic, but he is not taking new patients that I know of. Good luck on finding a Dr. you like. I understand how important that is!
