Michael Christina S Dr

Dr. Michael perhaps saved my life — literally. Forced a biopsy after radiologist recommended I wait for 6 months to see «what develops». Biopsy confirmed Breast Cancer. This is how Dr. Michael rolls — firm, knowledgeable, no nonsense
but and I have always found her to be profoundly caring. Exceptionally compassionate with me when I was going through some serious emotional trauma that impacted my health. She has always called me with follow ups. She coaches me through some unexpected health issues that are not uncommon as one ages but new to me.
I can understand why there are those who don’t see warm and fuzzy with Dr. Michael but I have been with her for 17 years and plan to be with her another 17. If you want a doctor who knows her stuff, is competent, trustworthy, dedicated, compassionate, truly cares about the well being of her patients, focuses as much on preventative measures as she does on illness and if hand holding is not a priority for you, Dr. Michael is a match.
Top notch office team! Downside is that getting an appointment can be challenging due to her busy practice…

This was the first time I’d ventured out into the real world on my own with my own insurance and trying to take care of myself. When I found this physician because she was so close to home and I’d passed the hospital nearly all my life I was thrilled. But after my first appointment I was 100% turned off. Despite just going in to get a check up so I could get more blood work done for my hypothyroidism, all she seemed to do was snub her nose at me and make me feel horrible because of my weight. I thought maybe it was just because we were both new to one another and so I went for a second appointment. Nothing was different. She was friendly and smiled and cordial with her patients that were older in age. When it came to me she became cold and less than interested. Once again the conversation was centered around my weight and how obese I was. I’m overweight, I get it. It’s a struggle I have had my ENTIRE life. But I had to point out to her I’d lost nearly 12 lbs since my last appointment which she had no interest in or response to. I actually left this appointment and when I got to my car had a good cry for a few minutes. The third and final time I went to an appointment with her I took my brother with me. I responded to her with the same short responses and less than interested attitude. Once this appointment was over I never went back. I don’t understand how she’s still in practice. However, I will say, her nurses were so nice and friendly.

I’ve been going to see Dr. Michaels for about 3 years now and still no complaints! I would recommend her if you’re looking for a good general physician in the area.

She really cares and is sharp but her office is chaotic. She is always late, sometimes I have had to wait up to 2.5 hours past my appointment time and I simply have to go to someone else. My time is as valuable as hers.
