    I needed to make a follow up appt. The appointment girl at side desk in Winona was irritated with the elderly gentleman before me, which carried over to me. She was having a bad day I guess.

    The Ma was so professional and made an awkward situation less embarrassing. She was teaching a new employee, but still made me feel like I was the most important person in the room.

    I like that a person can make their own decision to see a specialist and not need a Drs referral. Making a phone call to explain what my concerns were; the staff made it easy to make an appointment. The staff gave details on getting to the hospital and the correct floor. Very satisfied!

    Doctor was great. When I had to preregister, information on my past history was on there and it was all dated for 2023 and I didn't understand what a lot of it was so I didn't do anything with it.

    Dr. Sanderson is a very compassionate gynecologist. He listens carefully when I have questions so he can understand what I need to know and how I need to have it explained. I have a really hard time doing medical things because of childhood experiences, but he helps me feel calm enough that I can get through whatever needs to be accomplished.

    I feel like my doctor's visit was very thorough, but I feel a little bit like I was a number with the doctor. I know he does this every single day, and it's just routine for him, but it's a unique situation for me, and I've been very uncomfortable because of it and such, and I just felt like I was really kind of rushed through, although he did explain things very well. Thank you.

    This was my first visit with Dr. Sanderson. He explained my options, the issues in our visit were caused mainly by my difficulty in selecting an option. I have a follow-up appointment to pursue the option I (reluctantly) chose. If this doesn't work, on to another option...
