Heather D Stief, MD

Dr Stief is amazing, she took her time to explain things in a way I could understand and partnered with me to make a plan. I was a little nervous and overwhelmed going into this appointment but she immediately made me feel so comfortable to ask questions and honored which treatment route was best for me. I am simply blown away at her level of expertise and the kindness she brings along with it. Thank you so much, Dr Stief!

Dr. Stief is wonderful and personable. I was told before that I couldn't schedule with her but when she did my surgery, she was able to switch me back to her. I'm very satisfied with her care.

They were alittle behind so I had to wait while but they very very apologetic and polite

I didn't end up meeting with the provider so I do not fault them as they had to go to the OR but I would have liked to know that I was going to sit in a room for 35 minutes and then still have to wait even more if I wanted to see her. This was not an appointment. This was a squeeze in with a doctor that was not in clinic and didn't have a scheduled time to meet. I would not have taken this "appointment" if they told me this. I am very upset with how I have been treated in the OB department at Gundersen. If I had the option to go somewhere else I would.

The amount of pre-visit check-in questions are overwhelming and redundant.

Everyone is very professional and attentive. I have absolutely no negative comments. Thank you.

She took the time to listen to my concerns and was very helpful.

I had to go to the ER in a different city for an excruciating abscess, and afterwards the next day I was still in horrific pain and I called gynecology, left a message for the nurses, and was called back within 30 minutes by a nurse who was so kind and empathetic, listened to everything I told her and asked detailed questions, and she reassured me she will talk to the providers ASAP about my pain call me back right after. They were able to get me in for an appointment that same day, early afternoon. Dr. Stief is the most caring, validating and empathetic provider I have EVER encountered in my life. She could tell how much pain I was in and validated my feelings that I should definitely not be in anywhere near this kind of pain. She immediately put my personal comfort and pain relief above all else. She tried to do a small exam, but immediately stopped from my pain. She said she's going to schedule an outpatient surgery that same day for me in order to do a proper in-depth to see what needs to be properly done for the abscess, and she would not let me go home in such horrible pain and with an infection. She got me into the post-op room ASAP even though my surgery wasn't scheduled for several hours because she wanted me to have pain relief immediately. I'm so unbelievably grateful for Dr. Stief. She truly is so compassionate of a provider that I can't put it into words. I cried tears of relief when I met with her because she took my pain very seriously and her most important concern was addressing my pain before doing anything else. She was so thorough in describing to me everything that was going to happen and would happen after surgery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Stief.

I appreciate specialists coming from La Crosse, so I don't have to drive up there. Thank you for providing that service for us!!!

The doctor made a scary day a lot easier

Dr Stief and her assistant are exceptional. I greatly appreciate both of them for the knowledge and care they provided during my visit.

She was great. She listened to my concerns and put me at ease and got the procedure done in a snap.

I am absolutely in good hands with Dr. Stief. She is a wonderful provider and kind person.
