Holland Hospital Internal Medicine, North — Local services in Holland Charter Township

Overall staff of the place are better people to talk to than my own doctor. My doctor (eklov) is what affects my rating the most of the place. For starters this is the second appointment in a row where I’ve had to wait thirty minutes after my designated time to be called in for my appointment. So much so that the lady at the front desk asked if I’d just want to reschedule seeing that this is on eklov for not managing the time of her patients correctly. There were still 2 people in front of me when I asked at 2:10. I was called in at 2:15. My appointment was at 1:45. If she’s gonna be late past the appt times then she might as well extend her hours at the clinic coz she’s wasting other people’s time now. Then when I’m called in she’s barely with me for five minutes. I discuss what I want to do and what I don’t want to do at the moment and she still tries to insist that I do what I don’t want to do at the moment without respecting my wishes not to at the time. Recently I went with my boyfriend to his doctor appt for the first time with someone at the Washington clinic and she was SO MUCH MORE RESPECTFUL OF HIS WISHES. My own doctor could never. Then she goes to leave as if she’s in a rush without even letting me address everything I wanted to that I had to stop her because I wasn’t done. Every time I have an appointment with her she always makes it an unpleasant experience. Plus she still talks super loud almost as if she’s trying to sound smarter. It’s the way I know she’s not a good physician because I know another person who also thinks the same way....

I feel very welcomed and listened to about concerns for my well being. As I manage my diabetes ( I've been able to stay under 7 for A1C for a year now) and discuss commonalities of natural aging for the known early signs if they should present. It is great to be a part of the process with a crew (that is everyone on the staff) that cares for my well being.

Michael Lamphere is a great doctor to work with, taking the time to explain known aging aspects and where good numbers lie for health. We are able to work together by noting life events and slides that occur with aging (allergy/ swelling development as seasons change) and what is viewed as best practices to moderate those slides. Not just as a preventative measure, as a lifestyle gradual change for future...

I had a virtual call with Dr. Murphy for my chronic pain medication refill on my hydrocordone. He informed me stop it take my Tramadol TID instead. I feel I need pain management which I have not had since Michigan Pain Consultants closed. I will be seeing a doctor at Haven Spine and Pain Clinic. Dr. Powell he has treated me before. I need my medication issues resolved plus will probably need injections. I know Dr. Murphy did his best to accommodate me. But sometimes my pain is high and the pressure in middle of my back is a lot. So hopefully soon I get some comfort and pain mgmt control to resolve my issues. But my virtual call went as good as it could due to my...
