Mar 12, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I have been seeing Cari Stenz as my primary care provider for the last couple of years. Cari has been pleasant, professional, and informative at every appointment. The only complaint that I have in regard to this provider is sometimes I have to be firm and direct to get the care I am seeking. Recently I was in for a follow up for some kidney related issues. After seeing a different provider at urology who then told me to follow up with Cari once again, I was instructed to take a urine test (this being the fifth one I’ve taken since my original ER visit) and little was done to address the issue. As I have been off work for the last week due to pain and blood in my urine, I wish the providers at my Michigan would be more prompt in solving the issues of their patients.
