What could have been done to improve your experience?
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.

There is no improvement needed.

They seemed to have excellent access to my past medical information
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Friendlier more concerned staff. Office that doesn't feel like a lockdown facility. A provider who listens to me and is more concerned with what is bothering me than going down other rabbit holes I'm not concerned about, for a few

Front desk,, pharmacy, lab., xray_imagi ng all display friendly, professional and caring attitude.

Jan 9, 2025
What could have been done to improve your experience?
More actual MDs and DOs, less PAs and NPs and less patients overall. These providers are always way backed up and overbooked. It should not take 6 months for an established patient to get an appointment, and it should not take over a year for new patients to be seen.
