My office visit was to establish a relationship and review my health history with Dr. Garlinghouse, as I am [ ]. Given my history, it is important to have a doctor and facility that I can rely on, and has access to my other out of state doctors...I am totally pleased and thankful I have Dr. Garlinghouse and his staff to rely on in the event of need.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Access to health care in the UP is difficult at best. The providers at the Drummond Island Clinic do not seem competent in their knowledge or clinical skills. I have been denied care at the Drummond island Clinic. So I have and will recommend Dr Garlinghouse to anyone I can. It’s still hard to get an appointment but staff are kind and caring and Dr Garlinghouse listens and is knowledgeable and competent in his practice.
