What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Ockenfels has been my physician over 30 years. The issue now is staffing around him. Lots of change yearly. Having the patient advocate has been great, easily surpass the office front desk to get information or appointments. My Michigan management of the facility in it's entirety is not making a good impression in this community.

Dr. Ockenfels is very intelligent, and able to talk to you on your level. He has been my doctor for a long time. I would not keep seeing him if i was not completely satisfied and comfortable with him.

Dr Ockenfels is an excellent physician and a highly respected member of our community. We have been doctoring with him for many years and we are so grateful for his help in solving our medical issues. He has actually saved my life twice.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Ockenfels has always been our provider and when we have seen someone else, we have been a little disappointed in that they are not as courteous as Dr O. But then again, we have been with him for many years. He really is an excellent doctor and highly respected by his colleagues and nurses that work with him.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Down to earth, i fins him very humerous, when its appropiate, but Dr. Oakenfeld knows when its time to be serious. He is very knowledgeable and has a very comforting presence. Makes me feel safe that he is in my corner and willing to communicate with me whatever the situation may be. I would like him to be "my physician" for primary care. Good physician

Aug 13, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
This was my first visit with Dr.O. ,since Dr.T. retired, so I really don't have much to go by. He had taken care of my grandmother and she absolutely loved him. That is why I chose him. He was very respectful, helpful, and listened to my concerns. He was also a lot of fun to talk to, very down to earth. I think he's going to be the perfect match for me. Grams was right when she said that's a good man, right there.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Less staff and the attached pharmacy closing somehow gave me an ominous feeling. The doctor and nurse are still excellent. I’ll likely get used to whatever felt different. The facility lacked life.
