What could have been done to improve your experience?
Better communication between nurses and patients. Answers to questions on the portal are very slow in being answered. I assume the nurses are responsible for the portal management ?

On my last visit. It was for a six month follow-up and a cyst had become inflamed over the weekend and the doctor very kindly examined that for me. Referred to her surgeon.

Mainly the only issue was getting an appointment. Also when I was asked about a. vaccine and i said i wanted time to think about it suddenly they’re giving me a Paper to sign saying I refused it and I didn’t feel that I refused it as I just want to think about it. I did sign it but regretted doing so later. And did decide to get the vaccine . While taking care my mother for hers

Staff is always awesome. Dr Harrington followed up with my care plan, listened attentively, mindfully, interacted with questions, explanations and any f/u needed. Today was 100% outstanding. It was my Medicare visit. I don’t like portals because I have a hard time assessing mine. A f/u phone call from staff would be fine with me. 👍😊
What could have been done to improve your experience?
At other visits I feel she can’t look at me a great deal because she has to document so much in so little time. I love eye contact. Sometimes she’s rushed d/t her caseload. I respect and honor her, and feel this isn’t personal, but d/t the pressure she is under because of the number of pts. she has to see in such a short period of time. This is Mid MI not Dr Harrington’s choice. Things have changed over the yrs, and most have been positive, this one is not. She is personable and an active listener. Her knowledge base is amazing and I trust her a great deal. TY!

I was sitting in the area by the doctor's office and staff came and bilgerntly asked me was I waiting for a provider? No. Was I waiting for a doctor? No. Was I waiting for a NP? No (A provider, doctor and NP are the same, I'M not stupid.) Then what are you doing back here? I'm waiting for my [age] year mom, whose seeing the doctor. Staff did not offer to assist her on the way to the exam area. She became a little confused and wasn't sure if she went back far enough.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Ever since I transferred my care from the Munson group to MidMichigan I have been very pleased. I have no complaints and have been taken care of very well. I have decided to get all my care with MidMichigan, including any emergency care. Should I need to go to a hospital in an emergency or regular care I will ask to be taken to West Branch. I do not want to deal with Munson anymore.
