    Chad Rudie is great! He took the time to listen and explain everything- answered all my questions and told me my options. Gundersen is lucky to have him!!

    Chad was very knowledgeable, personable, listened to me, reassured me I'm doing well and things will continue to improve. He spoke directly to me and didn't keep looking at the computer and entering information.

    Chad Rudie is an excellent health care person. He has great people skills and very good at doing injections in my knees. He could give workshops on how to relate with patients and make the clinic visit a very pleasant experience. Give him a raise.

    Having several appointments including PT I'm asked to fill out the same forms repeatedly with the same information. It gets very redundant and time consuming. Maybe even once a week or month should be enough for confirming my meds, allergies, etc.

    I feel I was definitely listened to but, would have appreciated the provider having knowledge about additional areas of post hip replacement therapies. As someone who has had a yoga practice for 10 plus years I was very disappointed to hear " I really know nothing about that" ( so don't do it) and with the slow turnaround with insurance approval, I also have not scheduled any therapy appointments dealing with weights or other activities ( other than walking). I would have appreciated clear guidelines with healing activities and the timeline they could occur. Thank you
