    I really appreciated the information that I got on the aftercare and how I go back assessing being able to see Shelby again. She explained all that very well as to who I see, when, what, and what permissions I need to do to get to different departments. The explanation she gave on things was great. Thank you.

    I expected to receive more advice on how to manage my condition, such as a pamphlet or online video. I feel I have to research on my own and am not sure I'm finding the most accurate information about knee issues and whether or not to have a replacement.

    Shelby showed me my xrays, carefully explained them, and I learned so much that was incredibly helpful. She offered some recommendations of what I might want to try to help myself. She was very personable and interested in me as a whole person, not just a patient with a specific concern. Summing up .... she was terrific!

    This was my first visit to the new Gundersen Hospital, I did not like the old location that was behind Home Depot - that is where I had and appointment and where I got an infection.

    I was ordered an MRI and I can't get in for 2 months and 2 weeks. As far as I am concerned, this is unacceptable. When a person is in pain, they need to know what is wrong with them and get treatment, not wait for over 2 months.

    It doesn't seem reasonable that the patient is required to be 15 minutes early when you don't see the provider until 30-45 minutes from the scheduled time. Is my time not important?

    My visit with Dr. Bernard was very positive. I was nervous about getting cortisone injections in my knees, but she made me feel more comfortable about it. And after it was done, I actually didn't mind the experience at all, so I would very positive if I had to see her again, which I think I'm probably going to have to. So that's about all I have. Thank you.

    The entire team was very knowledgeable and friendly and helpful, and Shelby walked me through the computer screen so that I could see just exactly what she was talking about during the exam. And this was very beneficial and helpful to me. I really appreciate it. She was very kind and knowledgeable, and we had a good rapport. Thank you for letting me contribute to this. Goodbye.
