This referral was a waste of time and money. All he did was say they needed to refer me to LaCrosse. I should of been referred directly there. With my heart history, this was a waste.

His explanation and treatment options were thorough and all encompassing. My mind was put at ease with his explanation. I felt better just talking to him. All my questions were addressed immediately . Skillful surgeon. Near immediate improvement in my condition .Quite a blessing. His staff was compassionate, caring and exceedingly accommodating.

I enjoyed my visit & getting to know my doctor & my opinions. Took lots of time explaining things to me. The specialty doctors I have met through Gunderdersen & Emplify have been very patient, caring, & knowledgeable. I feel good about what I decide to do.
