Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I called the office to make an appointment and was given ions in a couple months for a healthy visit. My provider found out and I was given an appointment within two weeks. She always listens. Always concerned about my health and my family as well. Very easy to talk to and explains everything in detail. I would never change my provider and I would encourage others to seek medical attention from her! I used to be with [hospital] but I feel mid Michigan takes care of my needs much better

My entire healthcare experience with MidMichigan has been commendable. I have had positive experiences with all of the staff I’ve seen – from the front office staff, to nurses and other support staff, as well as at the HCPs at the urgent care office in Houghton Lake. However, I am beyond pleased with my experience with Krista McNamara. She has been the best PCP I’ve ever had. She is caring, looks at me as a whole person, listens to and answers all my questions with attention and expertise, and not only all of that, but she is extremely time efficient as well! I am so grateful to be in her care. Please support her and keep her in our area!
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Really nothing from a care standpoint. From a systems standpoint, it would be nice if the Munson and Mid Michigan systems could better sync, since most healthcare in Northern Michigan is provided by one of these two entities. Having to have my lab and x-ray orders faxed to a specific lab, and then promptly getting the results back has been a bit of a hassle.

Jul 10, 2025
I am a new patient and have had two office visits with PA McNamara. She is an excellent physician. She is easy to talk to, takes her time to understand my issues, and very thorough with diagnostics. I have had other experiences with PAs and she is at the top of my list for a recommendation for primary care.

Jul 10, 2025
Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I have been very impressed with the thorough care I have received from PA McNamara and her staff. I have recently had an urgent issue that needed quick attention. I was able to get in same day. A treatment plan was put together quickly and I was much better by the next day. I received a follow up call a few days later to check my status. This is a huge comfort to me as a patient who is new to Michigan and to this provider.
