Care Philosophy
I always aim to understand and improve the healthcare system for my fellow colleagues and my patients. Additionally, I am honored to care for adults as they go through life, and I am committed to helping my patients achieve their life goals.
Personal Statement
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and our children, getting outside, reading fiction books, working out at the YMCA, cheering on Husker football, camping and golfing. I find joy in all of the experiences and excitement that having two sons and a dog bring.

My last DR retired and Dr Hupp took over for him and I think he will be a good fit for me. He listens well and understands my thoughts.

My old pcp retired. Had 6 months during which my new pcp was assigned but I hadn't seen him yet. MyChart would not let me send the new provider a message.

Everything at Emplify Health System is Great But I I Do Have A Complaint That No One Refuses To Deal With And That Is Patient Parking At The Main Clinic. Every Single Time My Mom Drives Me To Emplify Health It's Been Hard To Find A Handicapped Parking Spot Due To Ne Being In A Wheelchair. I Do See Staff Parking In Some Of Those Spots And Believe Me I Have Made Several Complaints To Staff But Nother Never Ever Gets Done ! All Gundersen Health System Staff Has Their Own Parking Lot And Why They Are Using Patient Parking is Beyond Me ! Something Has Got To Be Done! Imagine If One Of Your Loved Ones Came In For An Appointment And They Were Elderly or Disabled And Couldn't Find A Parking Spot Because Staff Is Parking In A Handicapped Parking Spot. Come On Gundersen Health System Now Emplify Health Used To Be Such A Great Hospital Vut In The Last Couple of Years Or So Emplify Health Formerly Gundersen Health System Has Drastically Gone Down Hill !! Time For The Administrator To Wake Up And Wake Up And Walk Around Emplify Health And See What's Going On Instead Of Sitting Up In Their Big Fancy Offices With Their Doors Shut Not Knowing What Is Really Going On !

Communicating through MyChart is still a little clunky, but it's improving.

Some on line check in seems repetitive or not pertaining to me at all

I struggle with being told to get and fill a script online. I understood the explanation but my care suffers due to the provider's choice to not prescribe my medication.

1) I have already referred friends to this doctor. 2) Modern healthcare is something I call half care. You can't get what you need in 15-20 minutes. Staff are in a rush to get to the next patient. It's not their fault, it's the system. 3) It makes me feel sad and frustrated.

Dr. Hupp told me that if anything changes or comes up let him know right away. Scheduled my next wellness visit and got help and questions answered about a billing and got the bill paid. Doctor visit, prescriptions, bill paid, and out the door. Thank you.
