Dr. Verkaik has ALWAYS been a great listener of my medical concerns and ALWAYS seeks the best care for his patients. He ALWAYS has time to answer questions regardless of how much time it involved. Should be a lesson for all those young doctors out there treating people like numbers.

I have seen Dr. Verkaik in the past, and while his medical knowledge seems up to par, he takes advantage of the position he has over his patients and exudes immoral behavior that would make the Michigan Medical Board and LARA curious with his quid pro quo behavior. I was pleased when Spectrum finally fired him but I’m in shock that he’s still allowed to practice medicine.

Highly recommend this physician. He doesn't make you feel rushed. Listen attentively to your concerns. If only all doctors were this caring and knowledgeable.

He is so friendly, spends time listening and diagnosing. He has been my primary care doctor since the day he delivered me. He is now my child's pediatrician. Wonderful doctor. Only issue is he is usually late to his appointments, probably because he spends so much time with each one.

He has forgotten to call prescriptions in multiple times, doesn't follow up with patients, and has a very uncomfortable way of speaking with patients. Every time I have an appointment with him I leave feeling that I need a shower...very creepy. I think it's time he retired.
