I started with Dr. Michael about 1 year after she started her practice and I only left after 20 plus years after moving out of state to Ohio. I only wish I could have brought her with me. If you are lucky to get her as your doctor you will never be treated like a number, but a real person. Thank you for every thing you did for me, I will never forget you.

Although Dr. Michael is listed as a family doctor, I go to her for my 'female' visits. It was very important to me that I find someone who has personally had children before and who was at least a few years older than me so we could relate on current female health issues. I don't feel 'invaded' or rushed during my visits. She is the only doctor I have ever been able to say that about.Dr. Michael met all of my expectations and then some. I would, and have, recommended her to my female friends.
