Dr Enkema has been a wonderfully caring physician to my mom for more than 30 years. With his guidance she is a healthy 95.

Still waiting to see Dr.Enkema after during my doctor appointment was forced out and denied a reasonable accommodation due to disabilities to get the results of my urine test, ect. due to United Health care had another doctor in the system, the staff is rude and says "Of Course" instead of you're welcome when you thank them for telling you to wait to see the doctor but they will wish you a nice day as you are so sick and in need of treatment. It was like a horror movie clinic and they hold you, hostage, to get your results and you can't get to another doctor due to they worsen your condition due to they deny you treatment and make you wait and by them, you can't even make it to emergency room.

Dirty clinic, worse doctor, don't put your safety at stake by seeing a guy like this. Check the internet, read his history.
