What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My appointment was needed to follow up on a bug bite I had gotten earlier in the week. I had visited an urgicare facility in Traverse City and was told if the area expanded beyond the highlighted area made by that provider, to see my doctor in Alpena. I was able to get in to see Dr. Mortens first thing last Friday and he followed up by prescribing another antibotic. I'm on the mend so believe he prescribed the correct medication. I'm pleased with the ability to get into the clinic so soon with the weekend coming up.
