    My experience with this provider was and has been extraordinary, I can not express how grateful I am to have been moved to Ms Kirschner for care, she is amazing and totally dedicated to her patients and she has a brilliant mind to go with it, without a doubt Gundersen best provider.

    I don't like that when I email my provider, it goes to a nurse and I have to waste time trying to bring them up to speed with my situation. It was nicer in the past when I could have commutations with my provider. Now if want to talk to them, I have to make an appointment which ties up more of my providers time. Need to figure out something else.

    The Mychart has an issue with requesting refills that need to go through the provider first. The question of what day and time related to the pharmacy need to be eliminated. I am needing to select YEARS in the future for the system to submit my request to the provider to review.

    This has been the most impressive provider I have had by far. I didnt feel like she was in a hurry to move onto the next patient. I was given time to ask questions and was provided the answers I needed to move forward. This provider is top notch and I'm very happy having her take control of my condition. Well done!
