I recently met with an entire team of people from Orthopedic Associates of Muskegon. They were all…read moretop-notch. My EMG was performed by Dr. John Hawkins. He did a wonderful job both in the way he communicated and the way he performed the testing. Although this is a generally an unpleasant test, he made it much less so. Dr. Justin Jabara explained his findings and my MRI result in a very clear and concise manner while answering all of my questions and interruptions. As I moved along the chain I met with Dr. Christine Bowman. She made everything I was considering come together as a plan that I could digest with comforting knowledge for pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care and recovery. I am very happy to be working with such a great team of caring individuals. From the intake process through consultation, testing, surgery, office care and discharge; OAM is the best.

I had one of the most negative experiences I've encountered at a medical practice. As someone who…read moreworks in a private counseling and psychiatry office, I am very familiar with standards of patient care--and I can confidently say that the way I was treated here fell far below those standards. I sought care for a hand injury that had been managed conservatively for several weeks under the guidance of providers at my workplace. When my symptoms failed to improve and began worsening, I was advised to seek further evaluation at this facility. Upon arrival, I clearly explained my situation, including the treatments I had already been consistently following (ice, heat, ibuprofen, and a brace for nerve-related pain), as well as my anxiety due to past medical trauma. Unfortunately, the provider largely disregarded this information. I was advised to continue the same course of treatment I had already been following for four weeks, despite my repeated explanation that my condition was worsening. My concerns were not meaningfully addressed, and no alternative plan was discussed until much later. When the nurse brought in a brace, I explained it was the same type I had already been using without relief. The nurse acknowledged this and relayed it to the provider. Only then--after it was clear I was upset--did the provider attempt to revisit my care plan. Additionally, I was deeply uncomfortable with the lack of privacy and professionalism prior to even being seen. I overheard conversations about my case at the nurses' station, just outside my exam room, in a manner that felt dismissive and inappropriate. This contributed to an already distressing experience, especially given that I had communicated my anxiety and past trauma. At no point did I feel genuinely heard or supported until I became visibly upset. Compassion, attentiveness, and respect should not be reactive--they should be the baseline of patient care. As someone who works in healthcare myself, particularly in the mental health field, I find this experience both disappointing and concerning. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity, empathy, and careful attention to their concerns--especially when they are in pain and seeking help.

Deceptive Billing Practices!!!! Paid the quoted $130 per visit (1 hr visit) up front before each…read moresession. The quoted price was based on my deductable not being met with my insurance so it should have been worst case scenerio. Instead, I am getting additional bills of $80 per visit bringing the total to $210 per visit (a 62% increase compared to the quoted price). I decided to call as a new patient and get a cash (no insurance) quote just to find out cash appointments are only $99 a visit. So, they charge 112% more ($210 per visit as compared to $99 per visit) if you have insurance?!? They did not provide a cash price quote in my initial consultation. Do not use them!!! You will end up spending thousands of dollars more than what they quote you!!!!!
