I have had over 50 years of experience with Drs. and in more recent years with specialists. When I…read morewas a kid my Dr. was a DO. I have been to many Drs. since then but my older brother stayed with him driving a couple hours each way to see that Dr. until he retired well into his 80s. He was a kind, gentle, caring man that listened to his patience. Dr. Byington has a similar manner. He isn't Dr. House or some other know-it-all Dr. but he listens and cares and has referred me to a number of specialists who focus on the specific issues. When I wasn't satisfied with the care of a specialist, he found me another who was more proactive. This has happened on a couple occasions. I once had a Dr. who also did clinical research. After going to him for a few years he came in to see me for an appointment and said, "So, are you a new patient?" telling me he didn't have a clue about me and he hadn't looked at the chart to see that he had seen me for a few years. That was my last appointment with that Dr. I have been with Dr. Byington for a decade or two (I really don't know how long) and I appreciate him for listening, kindness, and putting up with me for all these years. As with anything, you are the expert on your own body and need to do your best to take care of it but having a Dr. who will actually take the time to listen, refer you to the experts/specialists when necessary, and advocate on your behalf is also a part of good care. I have seen too many medical care professionals that really didn't seem to care for the person. Dr. Byington cares and I like that,

I cannot say enough about Dr. Rupp's entire practice. Everyone you encounter when you go to his…read moreoffice is knowledgeable, personable, and really seems to care about why you're there. Phone calls are promptly returned anytime I contact them. They have also gone above and beyond to ensure I received much-needed medications when I was in another state on my way out of the country for vacation. They also don't settle for anything less than the best treatment and management possible of whatever your specific condition is. If you have GI issues, get a referral to this office! They will change your quality of life for the better.

This should be a zero star review. Avoid this practice at all cost! The new doctors do not treat…read morethe patient, they blindly follow the system so they don't have to think or go out of their comfort zone. They will only do the bare minimum for you, if that. This is not a place that will "care" for you. They will talk down to you, use you and provide no explanation other than "because I said so". Very poor practice and a fantastic example of what a medical practice should NOT be. Very sad considering the practice was founded by doctors that actually cared...

I've been coming to this office for years since moving to West Michigan. I've certainly had some…read moreups and downs as far as experiences. For quite a while I was solely seeing PA's because you can get in with them basically the same day and they are just as good as any doctor. The front desk staff and nurses here seem to be a revolving door, but the PA's are a familiar face. Recently had a health concern mystery and feel like I was pretty brushed off. After months of symptoms, I was referred out by my Dr, and in contact with the office regarding results for one week. Then I fell off the map and even upon reaching out, still didn't hear back. Their facility is always very clean and nice. Dr O is very cheery and nice to work with. She can really give you the impression that she actually cares about you.

I am a patient of Dr.Angela Oostema I have been with her the better part of 13 years. I come from a…read morefamily of nurses so not ignorant about medical terminology however I am so bothered by the inability for Dr. Oostema to review charts and remember the reason for a med I am on! after MRI and only because I pushed the fact that a damn x-ray was not enough for a patient who has Facet disease,bulging discs and Arthritis and have been on this med for about 6 months now they don't know why I'm on it !! REALLY ??? can I explain this because for the life of me I can not understand this ongoing battle,the whole thing is a joke but how dare I allow Walgreens automatic refill to refill on day due because I am going to pull a fast one with muscle relaxers ?!!,Thanks for nothing and I mean that with every bit of my spine

Just had my first visit with Dr. Bouwens and I was extremely impressed. I've visited a lot of…read moredoctors that just seem to want to rush you through the office visit, literally just nodding at what you have to say so they can scribble something on a prescription pad and get you the heck outta there! Dr. Bouwens listened to what I had to say, offered me good advice, and was genuinely concerned for my well-being. I actually learned things instead of feeling like I was just giving him all the answers (which is what I've experienced multiple times elsewhere). For the first time in a very, very long time I felt like I was speaking to a doctor instead of a businessman with a medical degree. He is knowledgeable, polite, kind, and helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone!
