      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 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.

      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.

      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.
