    I have been a patient of the Gundersen Health Care System since 1965/now Emplify and trust the care that I have received over those many years. My parents, siblings, in-laws and my husbands siblings were also served by Gundersen. Quite a few went through various health issues prior to their deaths. We all had faith in the care received. I am not used to the name "Emplify" but eventually, it will become familiar to me.

    My regular doctor wasn't available so I had to change to a different doctor for this appointment. However, I felt he had reviewed my chart and was very knowledgeable and helpful. As far as your chart goes, it's not easy to use.

    My provider and the nursing staff are top notch. A little confused with the My Chart notification process. It did not make clear to me what the purpose of the appointment. I assumed my first visit was for lab work, which was not stated by My Chart. I had to call the office to make sure of the first visit's purpose. My Chart also didn't make clear if my visit with my provider was the same day as the phone call from the nurse.

    The Dr. looked tired and had had a bad day. He did look at my hip and told me that I was on the best meds for my MS. Keep taking my meds! I have another appointment with my regular doctor to look at my swollen right arm, and he said it is definitely swollen and he would let the regular Dr. deal with it.
