What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Phala listens to you. He doesn't rush you, he doesn't cut you offl. He values your imput and thoughts into what you think is wrong or needed. A Good doctor like that out there, like THIS... is RARE sadly. I still have a long journey with my health but i feel i would never ever have even made it this far if it wasn't for him.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
A very welcoming atmosphere in the office. Staff is kind and attentive. Dr SP is a good listener, let’s you speak w/o interruption, and his relaxed and gentle manner is very comforting. I’m very pleased with the care provided. Prior to being absorbed by MyMichigan this was a very good practice, IMO, and I always felt confident with the care, advice, and follow up. With the additional capabilities and referral options available via MyMichigan I feel even more confident in choosing this practice for Primary Care.
