I have trusted Dr. Thurman with my care for many years. He listens and responds to my concerns with empathy and thorough knowledge. He uses diagnostic information and data to support his counsel. I trust his advice more than any other medical professional I have encountered.

Everyone was friendly and efficient. Dr Thurman always makes me feel good about my health while also giving me some goals to work on. Overall, it was a reassuring and encouraging experience.

Dr. Thurman was thorough in the care he provided for my son and continued to build rapport with him throughout the appointment - not just me, as the parent. Very appreciated!

Dr. Thurman is an excellent provider. He listens and provides recommendations while allowing you to be part of the process.

Dr. Thurman, Chad Thurman, and his staff is outstanding. You'd never get me to go to anybody else. I've been with him since he came to work there. And I appreciate all that he does and your staff.

Dr. Thurman is excellent, and he provide me with excellent care. My issue is with the scheduling and wait time. I had to wait for over 30 minutes to see Dr. Thurman. That is too long for someone who has taken time out of their work day for an appointment. Perhaps you need to provide doctor's with more buffer time between patients, so other patients do not end up waiting so long.

Very happy with Emplify and in particular Dr Thurman. His manner, concern, attention to detail and knowledge are exceptional. He is a great asset to Gundersen.

Every member of the clinic was great and super friendly. Makes a clinic/doctor visit more relaxing.

I like that Dr.Thurman and the rest of the staff are very professional and Dr.Thurmans bedside manor should be commended.

Dr. Thurman is fantastic!! Easy to talk to and very understanding. ?????????? The nurse I had before Dr. Thurman came in was awesome. Very sweet and did a great job. Thank you very much ?

I feel fortunate to have Dr. Thurman as my primary doctor. He is always well prepared and has the experience and expertise to advise a multitude of patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/15/2025
Very impressed with the doctor that had never seen me. He took time to listen, he listened to my heart, and he ordered a heart monitor and then told me to check with my provider. I was very impressed with getting in and everybody was very efficient and good. And yes, I always would recommend our doctor and I always say Gundersen Lutheran, but anyway, I was very, very happy.

Really like how Dr. Thurman takes the time to explain things about my health!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/19/2025
I was able to make this appointment online by myself and everything after was perfect! Hard to hear the check in staff as she had a soft voice which made us have to ask again what she said multiple times. Very friendly and professional but not efficient as it took a few more minutes of asking her to repeat herself multiple times. Dr. Thurman and staff are always extremely nice and efficient. That's why we keep coming back!

If you would check back & see I have used same DR. for well over 20 years.

With having both a doctor and an intern offer conflicting evaluations, it was a somewhat unsettling appointment, given the stakes of the differing evaluations. I did not feel that at ease during the appointment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/24/2025
You can keep Dr. Thurman. He's outstanding. He's unbelievable. He's better than my VA doctor. He's always attentive, outstanding. If you get more like him, you're better off. Everybody at your place is excellent. And I'm going to let you go. Bye.

You need to hire more Providers like Chad Thurman. You have a winner with him.

Dr Thurman was wonderful. Was very thoughtful and listened to me. I have a very good feeling that the decision to find new care will be very worthwhile.

Many thanks to everyone involved. I really appreciate everything.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/13/2025
My opinion is that the hospital works the doctors too hard. My doctor was 40 minutes late for the appointment, and I know he couldn't have been in dereliction of duty. He was trying to give a "little empathy" and there was no flexibility in his schedule.

Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Thank you Dr Thurman and your team for giving great care, listening and giving me the control to choose options versus pushing things on me. I appreciate this. Thank you for your care and concern and may God bless you.

Dr Thurman is one of your best providers, I am aware of many providers because I worked for gundersen for over 30 years and have had all my Medical care at gundersen, his demeanor, professionalism, listening skills and approachability are the best . Thanks

I was not impressed with the check in person saying, your co-pay today is $75.00 how would you like to take care of that? I didn't realize you now demand payment before even receiving service.

I have seen Dr. Thurman for about twenty years now. I am very thankful for this long term relationship and the amazing care I have received.
