    I don't mind the reminders for sure, but they are a bit over the top with numerous text and email messages about an appt. Not a bad thing necessarily but I think two would be sufficient.? Thank you.

    Dr. Butler really listened to me, he shared my x-rays and MRI results with me, and he provided a 3-step process going forward. He was funny, personable, and very educated about the knee. I have the utmost trust and respect for him.

    I left my appt feeling more informed than I ever have. The Dr listened to me, answered my questions and I felt "seen" as a person, not just a number! It was a positive experience even tho it wasn't the outcome I wanted, I have actually considered changing clinics.

    My experiences at Tomah Gundersen Health have been extraordinary. Everyone is courteous, professional, welcoming and helpful. Dr. Butler is the BEST. My husband had him several months ago and I requested a referral to him for my shoulder issue. I have 100% confidence in his diagnosis and treatment plan moving forward. Thank you for providing such excellent care so close to home.
