WORST AIRBNB I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! Even though I came in to have an MRI done. Staff was excellent. Techs were super patient and professional during the routine procedure. Had to travel from Petoskey to get MRI done. The nap I tried to take during it didn’t happen due to the machine being loud as expected. Highly recommend this hospital.

Struggling with retinal issues and had flashing lights in my eye. I was told to seek ER care for this. I was told they couldn't help me because they don't have the proper equipment. At least they didn't charge me... I'm feeling sorry for anyone with a retinal issue in the area though. They were very nice about it but it is an emergency. You could lose vision in your eye permanently.

A little rediculous that a chemo patient has to sit in a tiny ER lobby with 3 covid patients for two and a half hours waiting to be seen. One tested positive...I understand that covid is serious but every time I go there covid is all they care about. Please focus on other people who are sick too.

I sat and waited in the walk-in clinic for almost 2 hours and finally gave up. After watching a couple of patients go ahead of me, I asked if there was anyway to get an idea of how much longer it would take. I received a snippy "as long as it takes" in response. I work in emergency services, I understand the need for patience, and I was trying to be careful of my own tone, but after waiting as long as i had, I decided to try .

The staff and doctors are incredibly friendly and make you feel like they truly care! I was in and out and didn't feel like just another patient

So fortunate to have a hospital in our small town. Especially thankful to Dr. Magyar, and all the ER staff for taking care of me during my multiple medical issues.

Note: This review is for the actual medical clinic, not the ER.
The people here are great. The doctors and nurse practitioners are nice and helpful and listen!
However, this place just doesn't work very well logistically.

They saved my husband's life. He had a heart attack during the night, while on vacation camping up north. Thank you!

My wife had a colonoscopy. The staff, nurses and Dr. Tietjen were the best. Made sure she was comfortable, informed and part of the procedure. I would recommend them to anyone.
