GREAT!

We were there at 10:38, due to company before we left for the appointment. Were told we might be able to check in because we were 1 minute passed the time allowed. Finally got checked in. Called back right away. The fire alarms started going off. Loud speaker kept saying wait for further instructions. Finally quit going off. No explanation. Just said all was ok. It was a stressful appointment.

Haven't used my chart yet otherwise everything was impressive.

My experience with my chart hasn't been that good lately. Having trouble for it except in my information to log in

I am very happy to have Dr. Funk and the team there providing care and advice with my eye problems. As a senior citizen, sometimes I get a bit confused. Dr. Funk has been very patient and kind in getting me on the right path again. All the people from opening the door to the facility to checking in/out, and everyone in between are very helpful, kind, and informative.

Had to do a walk in and we were very happy to get in in a very timely manner
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/27/2026
Dr. Funk explained a lot in a short period of time. I know I need to return for my measurements (that couldn't be done at the same time because patients were backed up?) but giving a handout with the details of the different lenses and their pros and cons would have been extremely helpful. I did read his clinical notes and that has helped. I can now get some information from medical websites and can come with more questions when my measurement appt gets scheduled.

Thank you for prompt walk in service.

Happy with all of it.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/3/2026
There was little interaction with Dr. Funk so I do not feel qualified to evaluate. I understand the nature of the procedure
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/29/2026
Hello, I felt very that Dr. Funk was very competent. I appreciated his work with my eye and the injection he gave me. It was, he did it flawlessly. It was, it was not, it was not hurtful to me at all and I appreciated the aftercare. It was very, very convenient and carefully done. Thank you for his work.

Dr. Funk was very personable and professional. His expertise and kindness to me and his support staff were exceptional!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/15/2026
Apparently clinic called me about the appointment but I never the message. Luckily I checked with my local eye doctor to find out if they had made the referral. Also the checkin on my chart wouldn't let me go past the first page.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/13/2026
My total experience was excellent
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/9/2026
I didn't know I had a website I could go to to check my appointments or nothing with. So that's all I got to say. Goodbye.

Dr. Funk did amazing and helped me during the holidays when there were a lot of other appointments and he was able to fit me in and assist with being able to provide care, which was definitely needed at the time.

Fast, friendly and helpful. Good experience overall.

Have better signing on where to park and where patients are to enter the building. We entered in the door closed to where we parked and we were in the wrong area and there were two individuals that were extremely rude to my wife and I upon a very first visit to this location. I could have gone smoother if there was proper signing.

Dr Funk is a very good Doctor

They were running 15 minutes late, if running late ,it would be great if they would announce that to the waiting room. Things happen, so I don't mind waiting if I know.

Yeah, I don't know how to use my chart. I don't know.

Dr. Funk and his assitant had to get down on the floor to hold a power cord in place so Dr. Funk could do the lazer procedure. The deserve additional compensation.

Quick, efficient and personable
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/30/2025
During my recent visit, I was placed along with others into several different waiting and sub-waiting areas as things moved along, due to a shortage of rooms available. Overall, my appointment took longer than is typical due to the room situation. (Just an observation, not a criticism. I was treated very well!)
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/28/2025
Always a good experience when dealing with staff,Dr.'s,nurses.

Made me wait for 1 hour. Screw up with check in. Checked with person at desk. Too lazy to follow up. Second time I checked person helped. They were very apologetic.

Dr. Funk was amazing! I would have LASIk over and over again with him!

Everything went very well. I was treated with courtesy
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/26/2025
He was great helping me focus my questions & responses and his better understanding in the same manner. Instead of "provider" use the doctors name making this more personal & his/her recollections. ?????
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/19/2025
I'm happy with all treatment that I've received so far with Gunderson.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/18/2025
I spent almost 2 hrs for my appointment. I was left in the waiting room longer than necessary. I ended up needing to find a bathroom, and didn't know where to go to get back to my room. By the time I left, I was very upset. I don't want that to happen again!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/18/2025
staff was very helpful i have a thing about my eyes and they were very patient with me

Always great!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/7/2025
I understood the procedure. I would have appreciated more information about what to expect after the surgery. Everyone involved was pleasant and helpful. Also, about the digital experience. Overall, I get tired of filling out the same information online over and over. It seems way too repetitive and unnecessary.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/30/2025
Very gracious care 10

i don't like the changes in the MyChart procedures. It is difficult finding thing and today, it took a while to log in as it did not have my info to check in automatically. I had to go into passwords and find it again. Getting to where I can send a message to my GP is confusing also. Please remember that sometimes upgrading is not the best thing to do for the people who are on this end.

The only thing I wasn't surprised with was on the way home that they dilated my eyes and put some iodine in one drop and then two of them for dilating it. My eyes, they were blurry all day. I should have been told that to bring a driver with. I would have felt much better because the traffic in La Crosse was construction all over. Other than that, it

I worked in HealthCare for over 35 years. This is my third experience with Gundersen, and I am amazed at the care and compassion received by them. Every HealthCare sys should take a lesson from them.

All good. Thank you
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/3/2025
Although our first experience with Emplify staff was welcoming and positive I was disappointed with all of the wait time between each test/ exam. The building was very , very cold to the point where a few patients asked for blankets. I also surprised when each time I was asked if my mom could transfer from her wheelchair to an exam chair it felt like we were the first ones to need accommodations for her inability to transfer out of her wheelchair. Thank you for reading my comments

It was excellent! The questionnaire was tedious.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/1/2025

I don't use your digital stuff, so that's why you got a zero for that.

I was nervous about getting LASIK as I'm sure most people are. Dr Funk and all of the nurses were so knowledgeable, calming, and kind. They made me feel much more at ease and comfortable. They explained everything each step of the way so I'd know what to expect. I would highly recommend Dr Funk and his staff for any eye procedure.
