Dr. Fehrenbacher was very easy to communicate with and took my medical concerns seriously. She is by far the best doctor I have seen in many years.

Dr. Fehrenbacher is knowledgeable about the various medication options and is always friendly and helpful. Listens to my situation and has good ideas to help. Much appreciated!

Dr. Fehrenbacher obviously had reviewed my chart and lab prior to my appointment and made very appropriate recommendations. she does an excellent job of involving the patient in decisions and is very open minded. It is important to me that she responds promptly to lab results and patient messages. She is an excellent primary care provider.

My wife and I just moved here but we were felt like we've been here along. Felt like family members instead of strangers. Very different then where we moved from.

Follow up appointments recommended by Doctor not timely available for issue experiencing. So I am to remain in pain for two months until I can see a Doctor to find out what is causing the pain. Ridiculous!

My wife and I are new to the area, having just moved from another part of the state last fall. I'm so impressed with everyone from the staff on the phone, the front desk, back desk and especially Dr. Kelly Fehrenbacher and her staff. I hope to be coming back for a long time!

The provider and the person that checked me in were very friendly and knowledgable. The CNA and check-out staff could have been more friendly and professional. I spoke to the CNA and didn't get any responce more than once. The 2 women working at the check-out desk were both on the phone for quite some time and never even looked up to acknowledge that I was standing there, which was difficult for me.

I am rarely unhappy with my treatment at Gundersen. Have no intention of changing providers.

I was able to see Dr. F. on short notice since I wasn't able to get an appt. with my regular doctor for 3 weeks out. She was caring and concerned and suggested treatment for my issues. I had seen her once previously prior to starting prolia treatments.

I'm so happy to have found a physician who listens and takes the extra time to reach out to peers for additional answers!'

As a world traveler, I have had exposure to a large segment of doctors. I have found my doctor at Sparta to be among the highest caliber and attentive. She did not cut me off when speaking and ensured that my concerns were addressed. She is among my top 3 favorite physicians ever.

The doctor indicated the name of his the person she was referring me to would show on my visit summary. IT DID NOT. I had to call back upon arriving home and reading the summary. Just inconvenient!

The Medicare Wellness Exam visit encompasses a lot of details and then there is always a list of acute and subacute problems. Dr. Fehrenbacher manages this beautifully including a strong follow-up plan.

Good

She very much listened to my concerns and I had multiple concerns. I would like Gundersen to provide handouts or resources for whole Food plant-based doctors ,nutritionist etc. including cardiologist that use whole plant-based lifestyle in their practice. I believe many people would prefer to use lifestyle changes as a source to change their medical situation, instead of masking their health condition with medications. These type of resources are very much needed in health facilities. Not your traditional standard American pyramid plan. Thank you.
