      The only negative thing is there are WAY TOO MANY reminders of upcoming appointments. In the past, I have tried to discontinue those but they started again for this appointment. Letters, emails, phone calls etc. I asked the receptionist to cause those to stop and she said it will only be a letter in the future. Gundersen is still way behind the times in communications from patients. Gundersen sends out loads but does not allow the patients to send anything in like blood pressure reports, ECGs etc. Have complained about this in the past to no avail. Also, on-line registration asks for "health history" all over again. Will not be using that in the future either. I deal with two other health providers and they have dealt with these issues but Gundersen just lets them go on and on. Time to catch up with the times. Have agreed to be part of feedback community in the past but am told "they don't need me". I'm sure you don't want to hear what I have to say as things are not going to change anyway.
