I recommend him to anyone and everyone who is looking for an OBGYN. He’s amazing, very talented, kind and compassionate. He does this job because he cares about people and the health care system.

Dr. Harrington has always been kind, compassionate, and professional. She listened to my concerns and provided excellent care while I was her patient. Although I was disappointed that I could no longer continue seeing her because her practice changed to focus on patients with more complex medical needs, I understand and respect that decision. I truly appreciate the care she gave me and wish her and her team all the best.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I met Dr Ali at the emergency room cath lab for a cardiac event. I found him to be very knowledgeable and cared about my situation. Even through the follow up visits he maintained his professionalism and kindness. I will continue to use him as my cardiologist going forward.

Jul 12, 2026
My appreciation for Dr Ali and his co-Dr's as well as the entire staff are extremely top shelf professional health care providers that provided care i flew halfway around the globe to receive. Bottom line they all saved me from certain catastrophic health issues in the near future. "Thank you" doesn't really meet the level required but I'll just leave it at that.

Jul 12, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Ali and I have a unique relationship as we both talk to each other in a frank and diplomatic level. That is something not usually found in doctor/patient interactions. I would recommend anyone seeing Dr Ali to not be reluctant to ask questions and provide accurate feedback of any and all concerns. Should I and my family permanently return to Midland I would hope Dr Ali would accept me as a long term patient.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Minnec is absolutely phenomenal !!!! He listens to you and gives you all the details of your questions in a way that is so very easy to understand. When I have an appointment with him I feel like a real person, not just a number. I felt he really cared about making sure I was comfortable and knew everything about my biopsy.

What could have been done to improve your experience?
My only complaint is the fact that mid mich does not but should have their own personal staff onsite lab rather than a contracted lab service so that we don't have to run around to other places to get lab service that is covered by our insurance.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Listened to what my issues were and didn't just brush them off. Asked the questions I thought was right for my ailment. Pretty much came up with solutions or alternatives. Choices that worked for me. I'm so pleased with my diabetes treatment. Trevin was a genius with the solution.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Dr Denlinger was right on the money about addressing the problem. He has always been very good at listening and understanding. I’ve been seeing him for a few years and do not want to change doctors. I feel he knows my issues and is very good at addressing them. That way I leave feeling good about my visit. There is just one thing. He never listens to my lungs or heart. I’ve been known to have upper respiratory problems ending up in the hospital. I also have a COPD and a heart murmur. I would like him to check those two things in the winter or feel my COPD is flaring up. I very much appreciate his help. At the age of [AGE] he has been good.
