Anyone love their primary care doctor enough to recommend him/her to Derek DeVries and I? We need to declare one for our new insurance. Prefer GR based.

I don't go to this one any more - but he is great. Mark Spoolstra. And i Know his specialty says "Geriatric Medicine" but I saw him when I was in my 20 s. http://www.advantagehealth.org/physician-search-results/physician/90

April G. replied:
Totally not what you asked for as its not a PCP but for GYN, I can't recommend Dr. Roger Edvenson at GR Women's Health enough. Wonderful bedside manner, treated me as an equal in decisions regarding my care and held my hand while I cried, sent cards and personally performed emergency surgery at 6:30 in the morning and called to check on me multiple times on his day off. Best doctor I've had in my life.
Kristin M. replied:
Gerald Witherall, Advantage Health. He truly cares.

Have you tried grandville medical specialists? We use dr. Bultje. He's wonderful! Sees our whole family and their NP does my girly stuff. They have their own pulmonologist, rheumy nd everything in their practice. We use the group over by metro hospital. Southwest clinic (part of metro) also has a peds group inside. I'm only familiar with them on a professional level tho. .not a a patient.
Heather K. replied:
ABC Pediatrics
Maija H. replied:
Also- Dr Thomas Bilisko is a fantastic adult doctor. He works above and beyond to diagnosis, will do whatever testing you want him to order, and will refer. I know many doctors who you have to argue with to get what you need. He is not one of them. He will call himself other doctors and you and research until he gets answers. I highly recommend
Maija H. replied:
I second Dr John Koetsier at Western michigan Peds.. However I have to say I don't care for his colleague Dr Vanzee (sp?) as she blew off my daughter's infantile spasms seizures and wouldn't admit her into the hospital EVEN when an expert seizure neurologist at children's hospital in Detroit watched a video of her and was very concerned. I'm still peeved about it!
Kim D. replied:
Another vote for Brookville Pediatrics...love it there!

Sorry my doc is no longer seeing new patients, Whenever I see this question come up on FB, I always see people who absolutely love this doctor, Dr. Michael App. He is Susan Zarzecki's brother. I only hear fabulous things about him. Worth a try. Cindy Pointe, Michelle Ludge can you both comment on this thread?
Looking for a great primary care Doctor that is accepting New patients. If you can help me out comment on my post. Must be in Wyoming or General area.
Shannon S. replied:
Dr. Pell is good. She's on 44 th near Byron in the Metro Health facility. Not sure if she's accepting new patients, but you can call and find out. http://metrohealth.net/find-a-doc/doctor/marypell/
GP recommendations? I’m unhappy with Metro health, can anyone recommend a general practitioner they like? Doesn’t matter where in the city.
SecularRecluse replied:
I go through Mercy Health, but my job's insurance is also part of Mercy.
SmokeWeedRunMiles321 replied:
Spectrum on the beltline is who I go to and I'm really pleased with them.
PokeyPicard replied:
I’m in the opposite position. Tired of Spectrum and looking to switch, leaning towards metro.
lclaxvp replied:
Can you share what you’re unhappy with? And maybe what you’re looking for? PCP? Peds? Internal med? Specialist? It may help to make recommendations. On the flip side, I use Metro and found it to be better than other docs I’ve visited at spectrum or mercy in the past.
I need to get a Primary Care Physician/Internal Medicine doctor for myself. Does anyone have anyone they would recommend?
Deborah M. replied:
Kara Krol or anyone in her office at Spectrum on E. Beltline near 5 mile. She's great!
Kay J. replied:
Advantage Health on Wilson & Leonard has very good doctors. I go to Dr, Jamie Halverson and I really like her. Not sure if she's taking any new patients but there are other Doctors there, and it's close to home.
Sandy J. replied:
Jodi, Trey, the kids and his parents go to Dr. Michael App. He is great. He has been so awesome with all the the health situations and getting Eloise diagnosed. He is on the E.Beltline now but moving into 1959 E. Paris soon. He is going into the office...See More
Michele H. replied:
One last recommendation- I agree with Dr Krol or anyone in her office Dr Maskill, Dr Barnes, Dr Weirich. Next year they will be moving into the new Spectrum Building being built at E. Beltline and 3 Mile. Since I work in the same building with them and my daughter goes there I know you would be getting a very good office.
Allison H. replied:
Jennifer Cory at the Metro complex is great. She is my dr., neighbor and friend:)
Dawn D. replied:
Dr Michael App MD is the best!! He does pediatrics and internal medicine. I HIGHLY recommend him!:)
