    Dr. Ringstrom was great. I appreciated his very straightforward approach to the care that he provided. He was seen in follow up to an urgent care visit and he moved my original appointment with him up by several days after reviewing the urgent care notes which was most appreciated in light of the problem that I was having. His nurse and he also followed up with me on the day following my appointment with him to see how I was doing, which included a change in the medication that I had originally been prescribed at urgent care that was causing me difficulties as well as telling me to contact him directly if I had any further issues or concerns. Based upon the care provided I would not hesitate to contact him in the future should the need for his expertise arise.

    Everyone in the waiting room was waiting at least 30 minutes before being called. The doctor seemed very tired and said that he does not eat lunch because he would get even more tired. Everyone looked stressed. I normally go to Winona Health. The atmosphere at Winona Health is very positive and I never have to wait to be called for my appointment. I think you should do something to improve the situation at the Winona Gundersen Clinic. No one seems happy there.

    The care team took my daughter's needs into account and did her appt and treatment accordingly. We went in for an audio appt, but when the audiologist looked at her ears she wasn't sure that putting her through a hearing test was the right step because of what her ears looked like. She asked who our ENT doc was and she knew he was in the building and went to chat with him and his team to see if they could see my daughter before deciding if the audio test should be done. The next thing we knew his MA, was in to get my daughter and did an evaluation. She was able to clean out the ear of a tube that was in there but not doing it's job. She looked at the ear we were there for and found that it looked like it had an infection. Dr. Ringstrom came in, confirmed that and cleaned out her ear, prescribed meds and will follow up in a couple of week. This all happen to fall into place because the audiologist, and Dr. Ringstrom's team were exactly who and where we needed them to be

    Dr. Ringstrom is a very knowlegable doctor. He listens and explains what's going on. I had seen a couple of family practice doctors before I could get in to see him. They did not catch the ear wax buildup that was causing severe pain in the ear. I questioned them about possibly wax buildup, but they said no. When I saw Dr. Ringstrom 2 weeks later, he pulled out a huge wad of wax from my left ear where I was having all the issues. Thank you for Dr. Ringstrom. Emplify needs more doctors like him. Doctors need to be more knowlegable, caring, understanding, listen and explain what's going on to their patients. Thank you Dr. Ringstrom for being my ENT.
