Ariana ‘inherited’ me as a patient when she joined the practice. At my first appointment, I was impressed that she knew so much about my leg issues, past interventions, and had a plan for future treatment. She listened carefully, offered additional information, answered my questions, and did not preform an invasive and painful physical assessment like Ive experienced in past. I’m grateful to be Ariana’s patient.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
The doctor here is caring and professional, but the office policies and procedures are terrible. I was told I had to wait a full week before even being seen, while already out of medication and in severe pain. Their “solution” was to tell me to go to the emergency room — which I cannot afford to do every time I need help. This should be a quick appointment, not a drawn-out process. On top of that, the doctor only works two days a week, which makes access even harder. The policies here leave patients suffering, no matter how good the doctor is.

So far I'm left waiting for my next step. Pain is not a concern apparently. I'm trying to hang in there while the plan for treatment drags on.

Aug 25, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Front office staff doesn’t normally have a smiling face. Tone and facial expressions are a must to make patients feel welcome. There always a line for check in. I check in online and then I have to wait in line again with other patients who are checking out that come out the door. Checking in online seems dismissive. Organize the lines for check ins. Makes it much more smoother.

Aug 24, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Nicole is always in a rush. Doesn’t take the time to listen. I like a Dr to listen to me and discuss what is problem As pain and spine clinic I would think they would talk to you as needed. If she doesn’t have time for her patients MyMichigan needs let the Drs. Have more time per visit. I feel like I am in a cattle shoot.
