She really is an amazing care provider. She is so smart and up to date with the medical world. She doesn’t miss a thing! She listens and offers solutions- I feel like I am in solid medical care with her as my provider.

Krista McNamara is by far the best provider I've ever had. She listens, cares, follow up even on weekends. I've not had a provider that made me feel this seen or cared for. She goes above and beyond and has been so great for my husband and I both.

My experience is always amazing. I question why I do the online portion you quicken my check in only to be asked the same question at check in. Seems like a waste of my time checking in online. I would love to hear the reason behind it before I stop checking in online all together.

What could have been done to improve your experience?
The check I. With the front desk is ridiculous. They ask the same questions I answered on E check-in 36 hours before. Then I have back to back appointments and I have to come back to the front desk between the appointments when they are right next to each other. Then ask the same questions from an hour ago!! What a lack of efficiency

I don't know where to begin: if you want a Dr that listens to what you have to say an genuinely cars about her patients, I would be running to be a patient of Krista McNameras.You will find real compassion in her for her patients. She gets the biggest A+++++++ in my book

Krista McNamara, is probably one of the only Drs left in this world that actually cares abought It s an listens to what her patients are saying. If there was an award for caring an listening ( even if it's some subject she doesn't like, she will do her best to help her patients)

Krista answers all my questions , always very friendly yet professional in her answers.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Wait time in the exam room after Krista has left needs some improvement. I had to have blood draw done and waited 20 minutes before nurse came in and checked on me. I just had to sit and wait till someone checked.

I was a patient of Erin Booms, NP and she left so I was contacted to set up with a new provider and the was Krista McNamara, PA. She was amazing she really listened to my concerns, provided great medical advice/care, and helped me solve some issues that I thought I was just going to have to deal with. Quite thankful for everything Krista did even though I live about 35-40 minutes away I will continue to come and see her for my medial care. It’s amazing what can be solved in one office visit with her.

The Roscommon staff is top notch. From reception to Leah and Krista, they are the folks that keep us coming back and staying with this organization for our care. Everyone is kind and my provider takes things seriously. No better care in Northern Michigan!
What could have been done to improve your experience?
The only comment I’d have is if we e-check in, I’m not sure why I also get a nurse call to check in early too.

I have been a patient with mid Michigan in Houghton Lake for 13 years and now I would prefer to make all my appointments through Russ common I feel that it is less stressful it is not as congested and the care is very different over there and I certainly would hope they consider taking Krista McNamara and putting her there full-time
