Dr. Ricky and the Nurse were very nice and knowledgeable! I felt like they cared how I was feeling and answered any questions I had. I had a pleasant experience.

Good experience as always but the Emplify name stinks

I had to explain all of the symptoms to the lady on the phone when I called to make the appointment. Then when I got to the clinic for appointment, the registration nurse asked me what symptoms I had. Seemed very much like little communication wasn't taking place within the clinic.

Dr. Waniger really listened and explained everything I needed. And he was so NICE and genuine. He could right a book on how to treat patients. Thank you!

Reception desk had several people there talking and it felt distracting. I felt I was intruding on their conversation. Not a favorable first impression.

The doctor came in prepared. He actually read my chart and knew my medical history without me having to tell him. This was not my previous experience at gunderson physical exams

It is extremely difficult to use the phone for any reason with Gundersen. If someone calls me, I can't call them back for example. I can't just reach the Winona Gundersen Clinic, either. It's getting much harder to make an appointment with a particular doctor. Lots of waiting once you do make an appointment. So the idea of having "a doctor" of your own is fading. I had an appointment with a Nurse Practitioner but she cancelled at the last moment and so I saw a "floater" who was fine. This is not like having a doctor who knows me.

The CMA wasn't friendly, she acted as if I was a bother. This was my 1st time at this clinic & she definitely was not welcoming. The provider, however, was excellent, I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Very nice doctor

It's very hard to get in an appointment. It took me a week to get in there. And I would, two days, I guess. Anyway, somehow they should be available to get an appointment a little bit easier than what it is.

Everyone here was very nice and friendly. The provider helped with an issue with one of my medications in addition to the reason for my appointment.
