Stacey always listens to my concerns and there are times she has recommended something for me.And I politely declined and told her why and she completely understood without making me feel like I didn't know what was good for me. She is always attentive and has a smile on her face

The women at the front desk (far left cubicle) is awesome. She is compassionate and makes you feel comfortable. She takes her time with you and explains everything. I have yet to encounter anyone there that isn’t compassionate, caring and ultra friendly. I have been so pleased with MidMichigan and all the staff! It was scary switching Dr’s but I’m glad I did. My husband and I love Trevin and are happy with all our care there!

Nothing! Just keep doing what you’re doing!!

At first Dr Minnic and I got off on the wrong foot, but when I went back to him and expressed how he made me feel he was very respectful and changed his approach towards me. I am sensitive and he is very straight forward. He is an amazing and honest Doctor. He takes the time to make sure you’re healthy and doing what needs to be done. I would 110% see him again.

Krista is so knowledgeable and she is very caring. She doesn’t let anything slip by her. I honestly believe that a chance meeting I had with her during an emergency visit saved my life. She continues to provide amazing care and she also sets up a winning team of specialists that I need for my continued medical needs. She really is the best!
