Christine R Michael, DO

Always a great experience!!

And the minute I walked in the office, the receptionist and the nurse's aides all were perfect. They talked calm and clear to me, asked me how I was doing and all. Very professional. And the doctor, she's always very professional. All I could say is she's a 10 plus with her staff. Thank you very much for this time.

The staff and the doctor were the best I've seen in a long time. Enjoyed my visit

staff pleasant , office clean

I did not receive the prescription that I asked for and wasn't told I wasn't getting it. I also feel that Dr. Michael does not really concern me with my health, maybe because I'm old.

Front desk are always helpful and friendly

Due to a recent change in my insurance, I am in the process of transitioning to a new medical team. This provider was recommended to me, but unfortunately, my experience during the appointment was disappointing and concerning. The provider appeared more focused on her own preconceived agenda than on actively listening to me. My questions were either dismissed or left unanswered, and she did not seem engaged or curious about my medical history or concerns. She repeatedly pushed a medication that I clearly stated I was not interested in trying, solely because she did not approve of the medication I have been using successfully. Despite my explanation that I have a history of adverse reactions to medications and avoid switching when something is working, she refused to prescribe the medication I requested and need. Additionally, she ordered routine lab work that I had recently completed with a previous provider. I informed her of this and expected her to ask where those labs were done or how to obtain the results. Instead, she insisted on repeating the tests for her own review without attempting to coordinate with my previous provider. She also referred me to two specialists based on her own assessment. While I did schedule these appointments, I did so out of personal interest in their perspective on my complex health history, not necessarily because I agreed with her assessment. She attempted to refer me to other specialists, which I declined because it felt more like she was embracing a narrative that does not exist while also trying to redirect me to other providers instead of her being able to manage my care. One positive note: she did identify a medication I was taking at a subtherapeutic dosage and followed through by adjusting the prescription appropriately. Another serious concern was her discomfort with my service dog. She acknowledged being afraid of dogs and asked me to position my dog as far from her as possible. While my service dog remained appropriately behaved and attempted to perform her trained tasks, the provider's fear created a tense atmosphere and likely impacted her ability to provide care. It would have been more appropriate for her to disclose that her fear might interfere with the visit, so accommodations or a different provider could be arranged. The office itself was clean and well-maintained. The front office staff were friendly and helpful, though they could benefit from training on how to appropriately interact with patients accompanied by service animals-specifically, to avoid engaging with the dog and direct their communication solely to the patient. In summary, I left the appointment without the medication I need, feeling unheard and uncomfortable. I am concerned about this provider's approach to patient care, communication, and accommodation of disabilities, and I hope this feedback will be taken seriously for future improvements.

Dr Michael is a caring and knowledgeable doctor and I would recommend her to friends and family. It's a little hard to get an appointment but I think if it was an emergency she would get me in sooner. She has been my doctor for years and I trust her fully

Doctor is wonderful. He's a wonderful individual. His staff is wonderful and he's just a fine individual and I want to recommend him highly. God bless him.

Yes, I was pleased with the way she treated me. This was my first full visit to her. Hopefully, everything will go well with my health care and I will be using her in the future. Thank you.

Staff very friendly and attentive.

Dr Michael is great ,listens, and makes you feel like your concerns and issues matter,doesn't just brush you off.

Dr. Michael is caring, respectful, and understanding of my health needs. Her reputation is second to none. Many of my friends and family visit Dr. Michael as well. She is always understanding orders the correct tests / labs and explains them to you so that you may easily understand them. Thank you Dr. Michael

Both Dr. Michael and the staff are always pleasant, courteous and professional.

was in for a surgery evaluation on a short notice and Dr. Michael made was through and made sure all conditions we correct to release me - very professional and charming doctor.

Staff was super professional and friendly.

Dr. Michael is an excellent provider. She is thorough, compassionate, and patient. I drive 45 minutes one way just to see her and she is worth it

So very pleased with Dr Michael

Outstanding & Enjoyable in a timely fashion

Dr. Michael is one of the BEST doctors in the medical profession. Her besdside manner is excellent. I am blessed to have her as my primary doctor.

Well basically I got the run around. She could of helped but chose to pass it on to another DR. Whatever reasoning was IDK because I tried quite clear with her because right I need to be on a medication I don't want to be on and now I have to go talk to yet another DR and try to plead my case which is sensitive due to my history so get categorized as someone who is seeking drugs . I tried how and why is was not true but she wasn't hearing it. It's funny because you hear those commercials about anybody can become an addict just like anybody can get cancer. However, we treated completely different. And the I need right now there could not be a more perfect patient for its prescribal. But on to the next one. At least I established a primary care Dr.

Everyone there is very nice and they seem to care

Even though the doctor schedule is full she made time available to see me and take care of my issue which is time sensitive and she was aware of that excellent doctor excellent staff

She is very thorough and listens carefully to what I say!

This is a new Doctor for me. They were very nice

Very friendly atmosphere

Office staff also very pleasant and helpful!

Everyone there is very nice and friendly.

Thinking about changing to a different doctor, I just didn't feel that Dr. Michael was really interested in my problems and kind of brushed me off. Maybe it's because of my age. Anyway, I wasn't happy.

Dr. Michael is a highly skilled, attentive, and friendly health care professional.

I had a good experience

They were able to schedule an immediate visit which was great!! Outstanding professionals from the front office to the doctor herself!!!

Dr. Michael always takes her time with me. She shows concern for my health and advises me on ways to take care of myself.

Firstly, please ask if your patient is comfortable with a student doctor coming in before he has already come in and closed the door. Secondly, please don't ask your patient if THEY have questions. I don't have questions for you, YOU are supposed to have questions for ME. How do you feel? What symptoms are you experiencing? Is there anything you would like to talk about regarding your current health? I, like many other people, experience anxiety regarding doctors and procedures. I had multiple things to talk about but you asked if I had questions not concerns. This closed the conversation rather than open it.

Dr Christine Michael's was amazing. She listened to my health concerns and explored them with me. She was so easy to talk to. I felt validated, heard, and understood. She showed compassion and respect. Highly recommend her

Dr. Christine Michael is an excellent doctor. She is one of the few doctors I visit that I actually do not got so nervous when I visit. I believe she is caring / compassionate. She listens to you... She remembers who you are when she walks in and has a wonderful bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Michael!

Dr. Michael is caring and takes her time with me she's knows I'm an anxious person because of my family's long medical history she will always addresses everything Im concerned about. I have started telling family to see her too.

Dr Michael and the office staff make me feel that

The staff was very nice, very calm, very kind. And she explained everything the way the doctor is supposed to do it. And I'm very pleased with her. Thank you.

Happy with treatment and staff

my visit went well with my questions being answered

I'm very pleased with my experience with my Physician.

It seems that when you give information online and to the nurse and to when you make the appointment but when the doctor sees you, they did not review any of the charts because they're asking you after you talk to three different people, what are you in for? So they should be prepared when they're seeing the patient and not walk in after you've been waiting and not even know why you're there for. Another thing is you don't even get a call back from a live person. You just get basically a text message in the portal, in the app, the Atkinson-Sac-Meridian app to give you the results and there's not much detail or time for even discussing anything with anybody. And to get an appointment, you're waiting six months which is ridiculous. Six months to wait for an appointment. And that's it. Thank you.

I am always giving professional treatment information from the doctor's visit is always enlightening and very informative on better health Care going forward

I very much appreciated that I could get in quickly and Dr. Michael is very thorough and her staff is very pleasant, very knowledgeable and I get the feeling that they all care. I'm very pleased with the office. Thank you.

They were there when I desperately needed them & fit me in the very day I called! Most other docs I see make you wait, sometimes weeks!!

Dr. Michael was very reassuring spent a great deal of time explaining everything to me

I was a new patient. Dr Michael took time to listen to my complicated history . She was very thoughtful and made several suggestions to help me.

Thank you

Very good experience

DR MICHAEL is a excellent doctor.

Dr. Michael saved my life. She's the best doctor ever. She gave me the right medication. She treated me very nice, respectful, sweet, kind, everything. Just love her. I would recommend her to everyone, and I always do.

Dr. MICHAEL CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED as excellent.
