My 2-year-old son has been sick (runny nose, cough, fevers) for 4 months, and our regular doctors…read morein Chicago basically ignored us. During this time we made 4 separate visits, and were always sent home without answers, Rx's, no tests were run, etc. (Not only that, but our poor child HATED going, as they always grab him harshly and make us hold him stiffly (while he screams and cries) to look in his ears, etc.) So while visiting family in Kalamazoo over the Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to take him to Children's Medicine PC - and I am SO thankful we did!! I was a patient of Dr. Ensfield when I was a child, but only now as a mother do I understand how truly remarkable he and Marilyn Timmer are. They did NOT scare my child, or grab him, or ask us to hold him down while they did their exam. Instead (as I remarked to my husband) they observed and approached him as though he was a wild animal, slowly gaining his trust, playing with him, etc. Once they gained his trust, they were able to look in his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, all without crying, tears, fear, etc. They were truly kind, loving, and patient towards him. Not only that, they gave us MANY answers to why our poor child has been sick for 4 months! They ordered blood tests and X-rays (none of which was ever done in Chicago) and we have several diagnoses, and and were given Rx's for all that ails him. Only two days later, he's already feeling better. Bless these patient and kind people. Marilyn Timmer and Dr. Ensfield are ... words cannot express... AWESOME!?! Amazing, wonderful, kind, stupendous.

I have 6 Children, one of them adopted with some unique needs. All of my children have been under…read morethe care of Dr. Ensfield and Marilyn Timmer for almost 20 yrs. I now have my grand daughter in their care. If there was an ALL STATE team, they would be First Team ALL STATE in Childcare. There isn't enough I can say about them. From Mono to Broken Bones, Bi Polar Disorder to Staff Infection, they have seen it all, diagnosed it, and cured it. They work with such dedication, thoroughness, compassion, and kindness, it makes you want to cry because they treat you as if you were part of their own family. We have been so blessed to have been able to be part of the their care. Looking out for our health, the timing and willingness to accommodate our every emergency, and taking into account the cost of care in prescriptions ordered (be it over the counter or generic). I owe my kids lives to these two great caregivers, they are truly amazing and have a special anointing by God. They work tirelessly to solve the health, insurance, and comfort issues needed to get the child better and the parents covered. Children's Medicine is "As Good As it Gets". If they asked me to give up an organ for one of their needs I would do it without reservation. God Bless you Marilyn and Dr. Ensfield for your heart for people. With Love and Ultimate Respect and Gratitude. The Doyles
