About Madeline Emlaw
In my free time, I enjoy running, baking, reading, playing with my cat Tibbers, and watching the Vikings and Milwaukee Bucks. My husband and I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, and playing board games. I grew up in the Rogers/St. Michael area and am excited to serve this community as a Physician Assistant. I earned my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies from Marquette University, which has prepared me to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to my patients.

February 11, 2026Christine A.Verified patient
We need more than a “might be a viral infection, have her drink fluids and rest” diagnosis. Really tired of no tests being done at this clinic and then not actually caring for their patients.

I had an appointment to get treatment for a persistent cough, however during the check of my vitals it was determined that I had a very rapid heart rate. An EKG was done in the office and it was highly recommended that I go to the ER by ambulance! They called the ambulance where I was taken to the ER and I was admitted to the hospital where I stayed for 4 days until the problem was resolved! I am grateful this was caught. I had no symptoms so had no indication there was a problem with my heart! I am so grateful this was caught.
November 12, 2025Cathleen P.Verified patient
I was nervous for my appointment but this doctor listened to my concerns and looked at previous information to be make the best next step for my health journey
October 28, 2025Emma G.Verified patient
Staff very friendly and helpful. Madeline took time to explain everything to me and the nurse very helpful to. Would definitely recommend the doctor and nurse. Reason for half hour wait for my appt.
Clinic had a couple of emergency people come in guy who cut his hand open and elderly woman ready to pass out. Staff quickly ushered them into rooms and I was impressed the compassion everyone showed to these two walk-in patients. Surprised I only had to wait half hour.

Zocdoc is awful.
September 4, 2025Ellen S.Verified patient
I have been with Northwest family clinics for 59 years. Went through all the changes and still wouldn’t go anywhere else. Absolutely love my Dr and definitely don’t wanna have to find a new one. Office people are very friendly. Appointment schedulers could use a little more patience and a little more nice.
August 9, 2025Grace W.Verified patient
Definitely knew what she was talking about! She diagnosed me right! And I agreed. Which means a lot coming from me! Thank you!
