    "Told to return the next day for a chest X-ray as lung was not fully reinflated. On return no one knew about it and would not order a chest X-ray for 2 weeks when lab results were released. This appt was to check re-inflation. Lab not needed. Sent me home without expected treatment. I live in Platteville so was NOT happy to have made the trip in vain. Staff need to get their act together."

I found him to be rather cold, not very personable and just a bit condescending...certainly not qualities that I experience with other health care providers. We'll see how things go when I see him in 6 months."

    "First off, I thoroughly enjoyed that automated check-in that you have set up. My son keeps telling me that I am the most technologically challenged person on the face of the earth. And even though I understand very little of modern technology, it was still able to set up that automated check-in process and it worked extremely well. Then, it is nice to be listened to. I mean really listen to. It not only shows an interest but a deep respect for the person whom you are listening to. And that makes the experience that much more enjoyable. It also leaves the patient walking away with a sense of accomplishment. Knowing that the doctor actually listened and proceeded according to not what they thought necessarily, but based on your needs as well."

    "Last year Dr. Powers let me make my CT scan and my doctor appointment the same day to save me a trip to Dubuque. This year when I went to make an appointment for next year the reception is would not let me make them the same day. I explained to her that I was able to do it for this year's appointment and she still would not schedule me for the same day. I do realize I need to get a CT scan earlier in the day and see the doctor later so the results are there when I have my doctor's appointment. I think that they should be able to let me make it the same day."
