Northwest Michigan Health Services - Traverse City

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome people, great service.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff here are attentive, compitent, and compasionate. Dr David Velek is a tooth whisper and during my mouth work talked me through every step of the procedure calmly. He executed a very tricky tooth extraction with experience and care. Together with his assistent Lexi, the dynamic dental duo, I was in very good hands. Thank you NWM health service for your hard work and dedication to helping people live a better quality of life.

Experiencia negativa: Recently, I decided to get my teeth looked at after years of chemotherapy and having such problems with my health. I went in with an open mind and as my mouth was being evaluated, I could hear a young girl talk about my situation. This young assistant has no idea how that impacted my time there. I was told her name was Alexis or Lexi for short, as I understand I am a difficult case, no patient should feel let alone HEAR judgement from anyone in healthcare. Please do better for the next patient that comes in trusting you with insecurities as I will not return nor will I recommend this establishment to anyone in the future. As this is acceptable behavior from your employees. I do appreciate the Doctor that was very sweet. A company is only as strong as its weakest link. Thank you for your time and best of wishes if you choose this establishment for your dentistry needs.

Experiencia negativa: I have been trying to get ahold of this office to schedule a sick visit since March 31st. I called Tuesday March 31st at 5:13, no answer so I left a vm. Wednesday 3:23pm, no answer left a vm. Thursday (yesterday) 4:18pm and I tried calling 4 times through 4:21pm. I called today at 3:18pm, no answer. I called again at 3:20, and selected the option to their admin department, who then seems like they sent a message over to the scheduler Grace to call me. I finally then received my first call back for scheduling from Grace, but it was from a different phone number than their main line and I was working so it went to voicemail. She claimed she had gotten my voicemails and had called me and has been leaving voicemails- that it seemed like we were playing phone tag. I have no records of her attempting to call even in my spam calls/voicemails. She also pronounced my last name wrong, which tells me she likely did not listen to my voicemails since I pronounced my last name in them. I called her back only 4 minutes after receiving that voicemail and left another voicemail to them saying nobody has reached out or left any voicemails, that the last one was the only communication I’ve received. I then called again another 8 minutes later and Grace did answer this time! I told her I’ve been trying to schedule and got no calls from anyone, but she just continued her sentence talking over me, didn’t address it at all. I set an appointment but now it isn’t until April 15th, which is upsetting since I started this process the first day I felt my antibiotics weren’t helping my throat and ear issues.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been so pleased with this facility. The staff is extremely helpful, professional, amd friendly. I have loved the two doctors that I have had. I always recommend NW Michigan Health Department!

Experiencia fantástica: Every time I go to the clinic their work is superb and the professional ism is the best. They are a great asset to our community here in Traverse City area.

Experiencia fantástica: The doctor took extra time to explain things to my elderly mother and helped us find better prices on medications.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was friendly and professional. Business was clean. Will return. Thank you. Northwest Michigan Health Service Dental clinic provided amazing service today. They take their time answering your questions and informing you about your dental health. They talk to you not about you. I'm so happy I visited the office today. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Traverse City Dental is a wonderful resource for our community. The staff is very friendly, the hygienists, dental aides and Drs are very knowledgeable and professional, and it’s a clean and comfortable space. I would recommend TCDental to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: My kids and i have gone here for 12+ years. Always satisfied with their services. They do great dental work.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Northwest Michigan Health Services for a few years now. I have used their medical, dental, and behavioral services. I am always treated with respect and dignity. I feel listened to and cared for. My current provider is great! I couldn't be happier.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to NW Michigan Medicine for the first time to have 4 teeth extracted. They got me right in due to my extreme pain that I was experiencing. These girls were from the U of M dental school and they were amazing. These ladies were absolutely the best. What a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service. Kind and quick. Emergency this morning. Handled by 9 am. Child was back in school by 930.

Experiencia fantástica: NW MI Health Services is always professional and gets me into my appointments on time with all my medical care needs addressed. I have been very satisfied with my primary healthcare provider.

Experiencia fantástica: I went there for a dentist appointment and the nurses and the main dentist lady was super nice and very well professional. They went into detail a lot and did a lot that most dentist never do

Experiencia fantástica: This facility is such a great place! The caring staff here seem to genuinely care and for me that makes all the difference. They are flexible when something pops up and I need to reschedule. They remember me and know me by name. Every time I go to my appointment, they are prompt, genuine with care, and get things done. Thank you to all the lovely ladies and gentlemen at this facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, clean, helpful staff. Always well when I go.

Experiencia fantástica: My niece has had some bad dental experiences in the past. She was warmly welcomed by all members of the staff, and everyone was kind and explained what was going to happen. She has relaxed and is now able to see the dentist and tech staff without anxiety. Thank you all!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Velek is AWESOME!!! He makes every single visit fun, entertaining, and I know I’m in great hands and goes above and beyond to make sure I’m comfortable and our communication is top notch. Honestly, he is the best dentist I’ve ever had. He not only has the knowledge, skills, and intelligence for dentistry, but also the compassion, humor, patience, empathy, and passion and heart as well. He is never annoyed by all of my questions and curiosity to know what he is doing or plans to do; or why he does what he does a certain way. He takes the time to explain things, which also makes him a great teacher! I’m always up for learning new things, and great conversations!! I cannot see him as anything else in a career. He has completely changed the narrative of how I feel going to get my teeth drilled on. Oddly, I enjoy the time and am so grateful for the time, energy, and effort he has always gives to help bring my confidence every time I see my smile. If he ever reads this—THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND JUST BEING …YOU!!! :) ((((BIG HUG!))))

Experiencia fantástica: Sue the hygienist at TC Dental is amazing! By far, the best cleaning I’ve ever had! I was so comfortable with her gentle touch…never once felt any pain! My lucky day was when I was referred to Traverse City Dental and met the kindest staff ever! Much Gratitude, Bridge Wertz

Experiencia fantástica: Clarissa Roman did an excellent job of rescuing me when I needed help urgently. Had an infection that went from my tooth to my ear then to my heart. They sent me to Frankfurt where I receive the treatment I needed. That was two years ago. Now I’m getting dentures done by Dr. Velek. He and his staff have been outstanding from day one. Very professional and talented. He is very knowledgeable and speaks directly. He is a super star in my opinion! Shout out to Gabbie over in the Lake Leelanau office of MI-DHHS who was my guardian angel during the entire process! CLARISSA ROMAN IS OUTSTANDING!!! ❤️ Community Health Worker extraordinaire She showed me the way to stay healthy! So genuine and kind! A local treasure! The COO is a talented and seasoned medical professional who has transformed this facility into a life saving rescue for those in need in the area. Dr. Velek is knowledgeable and talented! His personality made this experience so positive for me! He is an outstanding dentist! Never felt and pain and he was so patient! This facility is offering much-needed healthcare to those in the Grand Traverse Bay Area! Thank you ALL for rescuing me from near death! My new dentures are fantastic!

Experiencia fantástica: I would give this Dental office, their associates and especially.. Adalene Chabon DDS 10,000 ⭐️'s if this would let me! Everyone is very kind, Adalene is absolutely the kindest and she Truly cares about her patients, their happiness and satisfaction!!!! I have had 3 sets of dentures in the past but this new set I will be getting soon is Absolutely the Best I have ever seen!!! The wax ones w/teeth are So Gorgeous... only one little adjustment to make. Everything lined up Perfectly! My new ones are So beautiful... they truly made me feel like a movie star!! I am Beyond excited to get the permanent ones!!!! Thank you Sooo very much Adalene Chabon DDS... You not only are amazing and a caring person... you are the BEST!!! God sent me my Angel

Experiencia fantástica: Always very helpful and go over and beyond to help there patience

Experiencia negativa: They are so busy since the dentists around town stopped accepting insurance (that is what was stated, don't know if it is true); that it took around three months before billing sent in a claim for a pretreatment estimate for my #3 molar crown. The claim was denied as was the appeal. It's been approximately six months from the time of request for a crown til now. Too bad that if you have insurance you are lower on the waiting list for an appointment than the uninsured. The insurance needs to go through the approval process before you can go on the waiting list. Efficiency would be greatly improved if the major players were able to feel the pain caused by the above mentioned neglect and inefficiency.

Experiencia fantástica: A professional warm environment w a knowledgable supportive staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I see Dr. Chabon and she is amazing. I love my smile again and I’m not afraid of the dentist anymore. Every staff member I’ve met there has been professional and kind. They also see our kids and were exceptional through the process of educating me and connecting them with an orthodontist. They are very knowledgeable about new treatments and methods of maintaining dental health for children. It’s actually pretty easy and reasonable to make an appointment there including walk in appointments for emergency situations.

Experiencia fantástica: Conscientious staff across three fields of care focused on relationship building combined with excellent care. 12/10

Experiencia fantástica: Relaxed and professional staff from the front desk to Hygentist to the Doctor. Treated with dignity and respect throughout the visit.

Experiencia fantástica: This is to update a post I made a while ago concerning NMHSI. Drs Gravelie and Ushuck are the best there is. They actually listen to me. I look forward to my appointments because I know I'll be satisfied afterwards. If ANYONE is considering looking for a Dr (or changing who they are seeing now) please check out Northwest Michigan Health Services...you will not go wrong.

Experiencia fantástica: Good health services provided

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love coming here. Everyone is very friendly, explains everything to me. I had a teeth cleaning done and was pleasantly surprised by the gentleness of it. My dentist team, my cleaning, everyone's so nice. Very refreshing coming here. I highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot express how grateful I am for the staff and care that they provide.

Experiencia fantástica: I love my provider.. Desk help are very nice

Experiencia fantástica: For the several years I have been coming to the clinic everyone Including the receptionists the physicians, assistants, the nurses, and the doctors Have been friendly, courteous ,knowledgeable, and helpful with any questions or concerns I have had . From my personal experience I very much recommend this clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: They are very caring and very thorough

Experiencia fantástica: Such a friendly staff and they care about your teeth.

Experiencia fantástica: All of the workers in the dental clinic are great! Dr. Chabon is so kind and amazing at what she does and Jill (dental hygienist) is incredible as well. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I love my regular doctor, but I needed to see another because mine was on vacation. They were all wonderful and helpful

Experiencia negativa: Twice now husband's appointment was cancelled the day before the appointment because the Dr won't be in that day. This after husband had to schedule the day off missing a shift for the week both times. SO unprofessional.

Experiencia negativa: Horrible service!! I informed them when I started going to them that I live 1.5 away from their office I had an appointment at 6 pm I arrived 20 mins early for them to tell me the dentist left for the day and that they tried contacting me to let me know and they DID NOT try contacting me at all! So I wasted $25 in gas, put ware and tare on my vehicle and not to mention I also just worked an 8 hr shift before arriving to their office, the ladies at the front desk were very inconsiderate and not too professional in my opinion... so if your looking for a dental office for your needs I would STRONGLY SUGGEST not to bring yourself or family here! Keep searching for the right one because this is NOT IT!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome staff..I felt so comfortable..hating dentists.. they made me comfortable

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and considerate for my comfort getting my teeth cleaned. The hygienist knew her job very well

Experiencia negativa: I do NOT know what is going on around this facility but the turnaround rate is insane. Aimee Stahl and Jody are who I see are 2 of the most wonderful humans I've ever met in my life. I was informed this morning Jody is leaving. I'm mad. I started to sob right there on the phone. That's how much of a positive impact that woman has on people. So I am mad. I recently went through a mental health crisis and this woman who had no reason to called and called and called and let me cry and yell and she is going to be a tragic loss. I dont know the reasons she is leaving but if it is financial then I say you pay this lady max amount and keep her. I've been come to this office for a very long time and she is by far the best nurse Aimee has ever had. I dont like that she is leaving. She is what makes me comfortable to come there. This isn't fair and I feel you should fix this and literally beg her to stay. She is worth every penny and more. Man I sobbed writing this if that tells you how important she is to your facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Doctor Kaley was perfect she makes me comfortable and. She did everything I went there for thanks much Doctor really appreciate.

Experiencia fantástica: Jill Cook is the best dental hygienist. Her personality and professionalism keeps me going back. I recommend NW Mi Health Services.

Experiencia fantástica: I love my Doctor Kathryn Buhlar she is very through, listens when I explain what is going on and seems to always have a solution

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Siobhan, I believe that is how you would spell her name. She did an amazing job. Truly transformed my son's teeth. Truly amazing at what she does!

Experiencia negativa: Horrible customer service from Michael in the billing department. I called to pay a remaining balance on so work I had done, a remaining balance that didn't make sense to me because I pay in full upon the end of each of my visits. I also keep records of all my payments and the account but somehow was still billed again after leaving, when I asked to have this explained she got very frustrated and kept going in a circle until SHE hung up on me. Wow. The attitude and horrible customer service I received from the billing department was enough to make me never return to this company. Be warned, the price they tell you or even the amount paid in full at the end of service is still subject to change if they decide to bill you more.

Experiencia fantástica: You persons are the sweetest and most caring people I have ever seen sense doctor Hiedle smith ward and Weber Thankyou very much for all off the heath support you have given me sincerely Kathryn hildabridle

Experiencia fantástica: Aimee Stahl is my provider and I love everybody in that office. They take care of me and answer any questions that I have. I would recommend anybody here!!

Experiencia fantástica: Aime is always sweet and professional. She cares about me as a patient. And is truly concerned and cares about my well being. The nurses and office personnel are always nice. I appreciate everyone looking out for my best interest.

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect. Amaii Stahl is awesome and so is her nurses assistant Think her name is Jody

Experiencia fantástica: I was actually referred to your doctor's office and I cannot tell you how much I have truly appreciated the care that I've gotten it has old world real compassion in the office and it shows I not only love it but I would definitely refer people...I have BPD...cares that amazing is hard to find so thank you ....

Experiencia fantástica: My primary care Sent me to the wrong place— They wrote my referral for somewhere else… When I finally got to the correct place, they went above and beyond to schedule me properly take me over as a Patient And laughed and joked around On a personal level and made my anxiety ridden experience —- 100% OK!!! I even have one person coming in on their day off too accommodate me!!! Forever grateful !

Experiencia fantástica: So kind and wonderful.

Experiencia fantástica: I feel very fortunate to have a dental office that is truly dedicated to actually helping their patients. I used to have a phobia about going to the dentist, but that has changed. The staff there is incredibly kind, patient, friendly, and supportive. They all do an excellent job!

Experiencia positiva: Intake girl spoke very fast. I had to ask her to repeat everything. She Never made eye contact once. Other duties performed well and fairly polite. Billing informed me after 4 visits that each visit was $20 copay and I now owe $80. 3rd visit said copay and then said sorry, "their mistake"no copay. NOT COOL. Everyone polite. But Obviously not fully up and running staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly and calm experience! My hygienist was very kind and told me all the steps. She was knowledgeable and made all my anxiety go away! Highly recommend!!!

Experiencia fantástica: My four children and I have been visiting this dental office for over 10 years and have loved its transformation. The staff is always kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. After trying many dental offices in northern Michigan, I confidently recommend this one. I also appreciate that students work hands-on with patients, as it ensures their best effort in my dental care.

Experiencia negativa: I feel bad for whoever relies on this place.. a hundred staff walking around but nobody available to glance at a childs fingers.. way to go champs

Experiencia fantástica: Doctor Amy Stahl is a caring doctor that listens to you and gives you options on your treatment and explains the situation to you so you can understand

Experiencia fantástica: Nice clean environment. Helpful staff that seem to enjoy their jobs. If they can't fix you, they know who can.

Experiencia fantástica: Every person I have come in contact with is amazing! Professional AND personable. I am extremely anxious at the dentist office and they definitely help ease that.

Experiencia fantástica: Would always recommend!! They are fabulous. The dental clinic is so patient and understanding. The front desk staff are so kind and friendly. Joy is a superstar! She made my dental extraction so much easier - I have such bad dental anxiety and they made the process so tolerable!

Experiencia negativa: It’s rare you ever see the same doctor so it’s always something new to the person you’re seeing. It’s also rare you’re even seeing a doctor, it’s mainly nurse practitioners who are 10 years younger than you. I’ve had nurses who tried to convince me to get off my medications. And told me she wouldn’t be refilling a medication because I’ve been having fewer migraines which that medication is the reason for that.

Experiencia fantástica: This team is amazing. I’ve been through so much tooth pain and they got me in right away to remove the problem. I wouldn’t want another dentist. The girls are so amazing and so sweet. I highly recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Amy stall today. Very nice. She did everything she could to help me with whatever was going on with my body. You guys are very patient and very professional at the place.

Experiencia negativa: Not the place to go if you have an actual dental emergency. Waited almost 5 hours and was never seen. Finally just got up and left.

Experiencia fantástica: My care in the dental clinic has always been awesome! Everyone is very kind & seem to love what they are doing. The care & comfort I have been given, is 100%!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Receptionists, dentist and dental hygienists are all very kind, helpful and attentive. Patient and willing to listen and answer questions. Great job cleaning my teeth even though I was long overdue. Explained my x rays and gum examination to me. I was seen at the time I was scheduled for. They made a referral for me to an oral surgeon within 24 hours of my appointment with them, for a wisdom tooth extraction.

Experiencia fantástica: Best doctors & dentists that I've ever dealt with. Amazing staff! They actually care so much. ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: The PA spent a great deal of time explaining the reasons for my medications and any changes she was recommending. It was an excellent meeting for me.

Experiencia fantástica: I had Jill helping me out and she was awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: All was great they toke great care of me very kind

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Gravelie is incredible! She goes above & beyond to address all of your concerns, & she also takes as much time as she needs during your visit. She actually listens to you, unlike way too many other doctors! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area!

Experiencia fantástica: Everybody there is so nice and you get such good care. I haven’t been able to work on my teeth in over two years because of financial reasons now I found these guys and I can finally get the care I need.

Experiencia fantástica: From front desk reception to Dr. Behler; everyone is excellent! Friendly, caring, and SO EFFICENT!

Experiencia fantástica: They do good work. Had a patient cancel so they kept me longer to do more work. Saved me months of scheduling

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place. Dr.Wynkoop, Dr.Chabon, and Dr.Velek are truly amazing and such a blessing. They are great dentists, fun to be around- very down to earth but also professional, and very smart, and honest with what you need. The front desk ladies Maddie, Bonnie, Denise, Connie are also very helpful and great with scheduling! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for dental care. There is also a doctor's office here on site in the same building, translators, and social workers. It's basically a one stop shop! I'll always have good things to say about Northwest MI Health Services! They have truly been a blessing in my life when I needed it most ❤️ Thank you !

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly and kind… always a smile !!

Experiencia fantástica: I've had nothing but good experiences with this place and has been my best experience with doctors and appointments by far

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing customer service. Great dentists.

Experiencia fantástica: Very satisfied with my visit today and looking forward to my next visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service staff is excellent very knowledgeable and multi talented staff nurses and Doctors are excellent as well

Experiencia negativa: They never call with lab, or test results. Never upload labs or reports to the portal, yet forward you to the portal anytime you call. Referrals take forever, and need reminders. They never return calls, and almost never answer the phone. They ask if Im actually a patient every time I visit them in person. The actual DR isn't terrible, but this office is the worst. I definitely do not recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s pretty difficult to get your first appointment because they are so booked out. But any cancellations they would call to schedule. I cant recommend a better dentist. I see Dr. Chabon. Shes amazing! They do so well with me and always check to make sure I'm doing ok. Waiting for the appointments is worth it because they care about their patients. Plus this place is inexpensive and also offers health services and psychological services.

Experiencia fantástica: Been a patient for years always professional and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Very kind dental staff! Everyone I’ve dealt with was non judgmental and very understanding. Maddie and Bonnie at the front desk killed it as usual !

Experiencia fantástica: I hate going to the dentist, but when I do, Im glad i go here!

Experiencia positiva: Staff is very friendly and I love that they have interpreters for those not speaking English. Dental work hight demand is very hard to get a new patient appointment soon have to wait a few months. However if it is an emergency you can come in early and they can get you seen, might have to wait a bit first come first serve but awesome they offer that since so booked up. Very much recommended the place 8/10

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff Very kind and gentle They care a lot

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is all very friendly and personable. Their attention to detail with my care is great. I truly feel like they care from the front desk to the clinic staff everyone was wonderful

Experiencia negativa: Dr chabon didn't even help with my pain when I went in to let her know I have a dry socket which she never helped with either, I literally went to get a second opinion which was a dry socket. They're just not helpful at all an wouldnt recommend coming here an would highly recommend going to a professional dentist that does know what they're doing, don't go to this place if you wanna be treated less of a human being an misdiagnosed.

Experiencia fantástica: Handled my 8 yr old who was in pain and scared with kindness patience and loving car

Experiencia fantástica: I can truly say that even though it is the dentist that I'm going for grinding on my teeth it is a wonderful clean environment and the staff is always ready to help and very friendly. Thank you all very much and I look forward to the next time:-)

Experiencia negativa: Called to ask for an emergency extraction. The receptionist was unhelpful, condescending, and rude. I am in pain. I hope she needs dental help one day and gets the same rude reception that she gives out on the phone every day at this office. Where do dental receptionists learn to be so unsympathetic and rude? Is there a school? Do millennials get a scholarship?

Experiencia fantástica: Competent and friendly personnel. In house pharmacy and lab. I couldn't be happier with the care I received there. Fees based on income. Spanish speaking personnel too. 2024. I have gone to NMHS for years. I have the highest regard for my wonderful Dr. and the staff. We all need Healthcare and NMHS offers so much, health, dental and mental health. Not to mention sliding scale rates. Don't hesitate. CALL

Experiencia fantástica: I could not be more pleased with the upbeat attitude of everyone in your office and the service I received! Thank you for your kindness!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best hygienist ever, super friendly and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Feels like family every time I go ❤️❤️❤️ very happy with every check up I’ve had.
