All good

I wanted to mention that the front desk ladies are always very pleasant and helpful. The My care team was very friendly and made sure that I was taken care of just right. It was also great to be able to have an x-ray at their location instead of having to drive somewhere else.

Doctor Escher was wonderful and listened to all of my symptoms. He did a complete exam and made recommendations for me to do. Recommended follow up after therapy.

My daughter was seen for a post hospital stay followup appointment, and we had a wonderful experience! The front desk staff were very welcoming and prompt to address us, we didn't have a long wait, the medical assistant was kind and inviting to my daughter, which helped her feel comfortable. The environment was clean, so there must be amazing housekeeping staff on the regular. Dr. Escher had great bedside manner, and my daughter really took to communicating with him. He spoke directly to her, which really helped in this case. He was also willing to listen and provide feedback which felt like a natural conversation and not just "check the box". Nice to see medical staff who are truly in it! I will/would absolutely continue to bring my family to this provider and clinic. A big thank you to you all for making small-town care a priority. It matters!

As a woman I often feel like male doctors have been some what dismissive of symptoms. Dr. Escher was so nice and made me feel comfortable explaining my pain.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/10/2026
It would be helpful if updates to medications registered in My Chart. We update before appointments and when verifying, the updates aren't always there even after a member of the medical team makes the change. It seems to be a clerical thing
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/8/2026
Once we got there, the staff was amazing. It's just the length of time in order to get an appointment. That is what I rated you lower on. So anyway, just that. Thanks.

great doctor to talk to.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/23/2026
Dr. Escher and all of the staff that assisted us with asking questions, doing checks, and tests were all very polite, professional. They took the time to answer all of our questions. They were very patient with us. They explained things in ways that we were able to easily understand, and they were all very efficient, and they really took their time with us to make sure that my son was getting an accurate diagnosis, and we were getting all of the information we would need for his care and follow-up. Thank you.

Dr Scott Escher was really nice and funny, easy to talk to. Didn't feel rushed at all even though he had to do minor procedure that was not planned. His nurse was super helpful
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/14/2025
Dr. Escher was absolutely AMAZING. He listened carefully to the problem I was having and the impact it was having on my ability to be a caregiver for my husband. He was EXTREMELY thorough in his assessment and evaluation. How fortunate for me that Dr. Escher happened to be seeing patients at our local clinic that day. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Escher for the expert and compassionate care delivered to me.

Scott was very helpful in my case. He was there when I needed it and did a temporarily relief in my knee pain management. HE understood what I was going through and helped me as best as he could in the conditions that were given. He listened to everything thing that I had to say and listened to my body too.

My care at Gundersen is always so good. Dr. Escher was wonderful-he listened carefully and did a very thorough examination. I cannot even think of a way that my experience could have been better.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/10/2025
I'm not a fan of male doctors or going outside of my primary dr, but Dr. Escher was very kind and knowledgeable. I appreciated his concerns. He seemed to actually care rather than push me out the door/got more patients to see style which was nice.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/31/2025
Nothing regarding the provider or care team, they were great. MyChart/DUX, way to many reminders, notifications, etc. about an upcoming visit even after all tasks were completed for visit, then continuing to get info after the visit was completed... very annoying.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/26/2025
I was really in pretty bad shape and I called in the morning and I was afraid I wouldn't get in anywhere. And they got me in like two hours later. And everybody was good. Reception, the doctor was excellent. And I would definitely, definitely go back to them. Thank you.

Dr Escher was fantastic. Listened to my situation very well. Answered my questions in a concise manner. Explained his examination of my shoulder. Following my X-Rays , he reviewed my findings. Explained options and gave recommendations in a clear manner with my input. Excellent care. I have schedule PT appointments and a re-exam at this time. Highly recommend Dr Escher and his staff.
