Dr Wielenga has been our Doctor for many years I think he got too big, doesn't have time for patients. Can only get appointment with the PA. When my husband was dying,he still couldn't make time to see him. Would never recommend him.

Very unprofessional, with so many employees you would think they could do one thing right. Dr. makes false judgements on you instead of trying to help you. I thought primary drs. we're supposed to be on your side and try to help you. Wrong, not Wielenga 's office. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR ENERGY.

I tried to make an appointment and was placed on hold for over 10 minutes. I finally hung up and decided to look for a different DR. The receptionist wasn't very friendly even though I told her I would be a new patient, you would think they would try to make a good first impression.
