I have been going here for a couple of years and have nothing but great experiences. The staff if very friendly and kind. You can tell that the nurses and doctors genuinely care. I also love that you can get in within a day depending on what your appointment is for. This has saved me many times!

I do not live in Ottawa County. According to what I've heard in the media no specifics are given. Now the Commission wants one person to be able to hire and fire. No vote needed. That sounds so illegal. Usually there's a process for firing where a person is given a warning, etc. What did Hambley do?

Every staff member from reception to nursing has provided outstanding care! I highly recommend using this Ottawa Co service for short wait times, quick phone responses, knowledgeable and compassionate nurses, and easy to find building. Thank you all for strengthening my faith in the medical community.

Did not bill my insurance correctly. even though they asked for it twice. When I try to speak to anyone from billing I get no answer, and no call back. Seems like the people working here don’t take their clients seriously anymore. Be very cautious when it comes to billing and insurance or you can end up with an outstanding bill you didn’t know about.

I’ve been on hold for 2.5 hours trying to call the health department for an appointment. I was at caller #2, and stayed at caller #1 for the remainder of my time on hold. Your health department closed at 5:00 while my call was just hanging out in the que. Terrible.
