    I sent in a concern in the morning and was offered appts within the hour, but they were able to accommodate me and see me in the afternoon. They asked questions prior to booking and I felt relief after being seen. Great work!

    The only disappointing part was I couldn't see the contact specialist right away after my appointment like I always do. I live an hour away and had to schedule another appointment to come back to see her. Never had to do that before. I hope that isn't charged as another appointment.

    Once I got put in a room and the 1st technician did what she needed to do, I waited 30 minutes for the doctor. Would have been nice if somebody had stuck their head in to say she was running late. Or at the very least to see if I was ok, hadn't fallen or needed anything. I think 30 minutes with no contact whatsoever is not right.

    I felt that the Optometrist did a good job but the assistant did not. The optometrist did not know that I wore bifocals, a failure of the assistant. Plus, the assistant wasn't listening that I could hardly see anything she was presenting for my new prescription. My visit was almost over with the Optometrist before I could make her understand-she was ready to end my appointment with a prescription that I wouldn't have been happy with. Finally she recommended further evaluation for cataracts. I believe that this was a result of a failure of the assistant to listen

    The merge with Emplify doesn't seem to be going well, based upon our experiences with a significant number of appointments lately. For example, staff time appears to have been cut even shorter and they seem to be rushing through appointments as fast as they can. Also, referrals have not been followed up on. No explanation as to why this is an issue. The great care that was provided previously by Gundersen is in danger of being compromised. In our opinion, Emplify does not appear to be based upon good client care; but rather, on saving money for the organization.

    The team was really flexible when I couldn't get an appointment immediately upon running out of contacts, and they were able to help me get contacts until my appointment. And the only thing that I would say would be good to improve would be if they had a machine that I'd used at other clinics that could look at your eyes so you wouldn't have to use the dilating solution, but still get everything done that way.

    Checking into MyChart has gotten difficult because a 4 digit number is sent to me and you have very little time to see it and send it back! Before your password and birthday were sufficient. So it's very hard or impossible to pre register. A lot of the older generation are not tech savvy or have a land line.
