    Your check in reminders through My Chart are annoying and useless unless I am actually able to skip the check in & check out process, which no one has ever explained to me. Would be nice to see financial quotes Emplify has sent me within My Chart. Would always like to be asked if it is ok to have a student attend any appointment.

    The specialist I saw was dismissive of my concerns. I felt that I was not heard. While she acknowledged my personal distress regarding physical symptoms, she suggested that perhaps I should see a therapist. I felt that the appointment was worthless.

    I had never been to OB/GYN before, it was a positive experience although I had to wait nearly a month to get the appointment set and accomplished.

    The Resident was friendly, reassuring and listened carefully to my history. The MD explained things well, was reassuring about my condition, and also gave me positive feedback on my self-care, which felt good and validating.

    First time meeting Dr Heinlein and I absolutely love her. I am so glad I took the dive and went with her because I felt totally heard and comfortable. Excited to see the results of our decisions.

    Dr. Heinlein dismissed most of my concerns and didn't not answer my questions thoroughly. When I brought up a condition seen on my last ultrasound she appeared shocked and scrambled through my chart then stated it was no big deal and will be addressed at the next appointment. A patients chart should be review prior to appointments especially if there is a chance of a rare condition. Ms. Heinlein also shared parenting advice without being asked or prompted by me. She shared her own experience with a twin pregnancy and was very negative and not encouraging about the process. I am aware of the struggles this pregnancy will bring. I appreciate a provider who is realistic and personable, however this interaction did not feel this way. It felt unprofessional and dismissive. I would like someone to reach out to me about this feedback.

    I came to Gundersen for an alternative after a poor experience with a provider at another facility. After seeing Dr. Heinlein, I felt confident in the decisions we made about my care together. Thank you!

    The provider didn't seem to take me seriously and told me that my symptoms were in my head and "the media" is to blame. I didn't feel like my personal experience was taken appropriately
