Felt a little rushed. As I forgot to ask questions about pain management during the wait time before surgery.

I am not a computer friendly user and prefer phone contact but I also know this is computer age so I go with it as I can and ask for help when needed.

Dr. Topolski was great as always. My X-ray technician was great as well.

If you are seen in the year by providers, you should not need to do the pre check, information has been submitted before

Every single person I met at Gunderson Health was exceptional, professional and efficient. Dr. Topolsky answered my questions and offered solutions along with listened to me! I trusted him and his staff with my care and future care. I couldn't have had a better experience and really appreciate the Gunderson system. Thank YOU all.

Excellent care

The medical assistant was awesome. So friendly and personable. The best one since the beginning of seeing Dr. Topolski.

The care here is excellent and the GUNDERSEN NAME is known and well respected here and nationally. I think it is totally disrespectful to the Gundersen family and all of your patients and staff by changing it! Just think of all the money it will take just to change the name on buildings and written material alone, at a time when there is such great concern about the spiraling cost of health care already!

Dr Topolski is one of the busiest humans I have ever met. In seeing so many people, I feel like he gets a little desensitized to the news he often has to tell his patients. But then again, I am sure he assesses each person and how they should be spoken to. We've got an amazing doctor/surgeon in him. Thank you!

Dr. Topolski is great, he treats you with respect. He always has our business, and will be our 1st pick for a surgeon. We miss him in Whitehall Gundersen.

Was disappointed that it took so long to get surgery scheduled but everything else was way over the top. I could not imagine getting better care

I checked in online. But when I got to the clinic I wasn't able to let them know I was there without going to the desk.

Am very pleased with the card I received from Dr. Topolski and his team.

I like the advantages of MyChart and the ability to make appointments and/or discuss with staff concerns. I do feel the asking of same questions each visit is cumbersome. I realize the importance of the questions, however, when appointments are week to week maybe there could be a way to say all answers the same as posted yesterday!!
