      Dr Thurman has been my family Doc for over 20 years. He starts and ends the visit with a smile. He sincerely listens. He acts on what he hears. He works "with" me, but, also acts in my best interest. He passes on new knowledge. It's a relationship built on trust. He has always been there for me through thick and thin. I've never felt alone on this part of my journey.

      It took 3 months to get a physical appt. I called as soon as I got the letter, and the first available was 3 months later. That was frustrating, but otherwise Dr. Thurman is great, which is probably why it takes 3 months to get an appt.

      My daughter is very picky and particular about her care and treatment, and she has not liked who she has seen in the past. She has had very good visits with Dr. Thurman and prefers to see him because he listens to her concerns, takes time explain things, and addresses her issues. Dr. Thurman has managed to get my daughter on birth control which has been a struggle for me to try to get her on in the past. My daughter thinks very highly of him and says she doesn't want to see any other provider because she thinks he is the best provider, and he knows everything and he "gets her".

      Dr. Thurman has been my primary doctor for 6 years. I was fortunate that he accepted me as a client after being highly recommended to me by a former student, [patient information removed]. To say that Dr. Thurman is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and totally competent is an understatement. He is most articulate in explaining my health concerns. As a consummate professional, he has always treated me with the utmost respect, patience, and compassion. He is truly the crème de la crème at Gundersen Health.
