    I have been extremely impressed with the professionalism, courtesy and competence of the clinic and hospital staff in Viroqua. From the lab, exray, reception, nurses to the physicians. They truly have made the process of knee replacement smooth and as comfortable as possible. I am very grateful.

    Colin really took his time with me - pulling up my x-rays, explaining the mechanics of the new knee implant, going over complications that can occur following two total knee revisions, answering my medication questions, etc. He didn't sugarcoat anything but was very realistic in terms of long-term outcomes.

    Colin was excellent. I've seen him for past care and have comfort and trust . I found the person who took us to the treatment room rather out of touch . Abrupt and patronizing in her manner . Not a problem just an out of touch person ,felt very impersonal . Didn't give me confidence but I wasn't there for her care .

    When checking in for the X-ray prior to appointment, check in person was very rude demanding a co-payment of $85, I asked to be billed and she said it was mandatory to pay the co-pay. I requested to be billed again, she still wanted the co-payment. The problem with this is my co-pay is not $85 and is only $10. I wasn't going to go thru the hassle of getting the difference paid back to me and insisting again to bill me. This is not the first time having this issue! Hopefully you can get this resolved.

    Was the best experience i had, not knowing what to expect as i had a knee done years ago and could only go off that. The pre appt for the knee to be less pain and shots before the surgery to have less pain Helped immensely. And I would recommend this team to anyone going in for surgery.

    He was very considerate and caring and listened to all my questions. He actually had them print out what we had talked about during the day, what to do if I had more concerns, what to do if my incisions started weeping or I had concerns about things. So I felt really good that I knew what to do if something changed in my situation and numbers I could call. And so it was a great experience and my surgery has gone really well and the recovery is going very well. Thank you.

    I ended up getting, um, uh, what do you call it, a rash, and the doctor first didn't know if he should give me the shot in my knee, and then he suggested another way that he could do it. So, he did it the other way, and he did it, it worked fine, he did a good job with that. So, anyway, it all worked out okay. Alright, bye.
