I have had over 50 years of experience with Drs. and in more recent years with specialists. When I…read morewas a kid my Dr. was a DO. I have been to many Drs. since then but my older brother stayed with him driving a couple hours each way to see that Dr. until he retired well into his 80s. He was a kind, gentle, caring man that listened to his patience. Dr. Byington has a similar manner. He isn't Dr. House or some other know-it-all Dr. but he listens and cares and has referred me to a number of specialists who focus on the specific issues. When I wasn't satisfied with the care of a specialist, he found me another who was more proactive. This has happened on a couple occasions. I once had a Dr. who also did clinical research. After going to him for a few years he came in to see me for an appointment and said, "So, are you a new patient?" telling me he didn't have a clue about me and he hadn't looked at the chart to see that he had seen me for a few years. That was my last appointment with that Dr. I have been with Dr. Byington for a decade or two (I really don't know how long) and I appreciate him for listening, kindness, and putting up with me for all these years. As with anything, you are the expert on your own body and need to do your best to take care of it but having a Dr. who will actually take the time to listen, refer you to the experts/specialists when necessary, and advocate on your behalf is also a part of good care. I have seen too many medical care professionals that really didn't seem to care for the person. Dr. Byington cares and I like that,

Dr. Lewis has been my doctor for over 10 years. I have never had a single problem with him, he has…read morealways been so nice and helpful with every problem I've had. Further, I have never met anyone else on the staff that was ever rude to me, and who wasn't excellent at their jobs. I have always been greeted with perfect service and quick turnarounds for appointments. I highly recommend this office!

I started going to Dr. McCorry after moving to the west side of Grand Rapids about 3 years ago. I…read morefound that the size of the office, convenient parking and the individualized attention a welcome change from the large and socially distant offices downtown. Then I had something happen while vacationing that confirmed that I had the access to the best care in West Michigan through this office. After falling on a rock and doing serious tissue and muscle damage as well as exposure to unknown pathogens I had to fly 17 hours back to GR arriving on a Sunday and waited to call Dr McCorry's office Monday morning. He asked me to come in immediately and gave me the medical attention my situation required to head off infections and further damage due to potential blood clots. They began a comprehensive treatment plan that found me seeing the specialists that could diagnose and treat my wounds and carefully monitored my progress over several weeks. It is my belief that without that continued support and immediate care my situation could have easily resulted in nerve damage and serious infections. Don't let the smaller size of the office influence your decision about this practice. They're hardwired into west Michigan's best available medical resources!

I absolutely love Dr. Gracias! He is the most compassionate surgeon that I have had the pleasure of…read moremeeting and being a patient of. During my first appointment he took time to show me my MRI results, pointed out the problem area, and discussed options. He did not give me false hope that the nerve damage I was having would ever resolve even after surgery. He was very honest that the sensations that I had lost may not return. I respect a doctor who is wiling to admit they can't fix everything. Additionally, he not only cares for you as his patient but he involves your family, or those who will be helping you during recovery/treatment, in your appointment and care should agree to that. He kept them well updated during my surgery so there was no worrying on their end. During my aftercare, he would ask about my mother or daughter if they happen to not be with me during my appointment. Involving a patient's support system in appointments and care has been medical proven to increase success in treatment and recovery. Dr. Gracias's professionalism with staff in his office and at the hospital was also admirable. Most surgeons I have had contact with, from working in a hospital for 13 years, often are egotistical and demeaning to staff around them. However, this was not the experience I had with Dr. Gracias. He was very polite to those working with him and even those who he passed in the pre-op area. The two things that touched me the most and made me realize that Dr. Gracias was a doctor who truly cared for his patients was first, in pre-op when he came to talk to me before surgery, a clergy member was praying with me. He quietly came in, put his hand on my shoulder and prayed with us. I had tears running down my face. Most doctors would leave the room and return moments later or interrupt the prayer to hurry the case along. Yes, I actually had an anesthesiologist interrupt a prayer during pre-op for a hip surgery. Secondly, in the OR room, my heart rate and blood pressure where elevated. I told those in the OR room prepping me that I was horribly anxious and fearful about going under anesthesia and about possible experiencing uncontrollable post op pain. The anesthesiologist just told me to take deep breaths to help calm down and walked away from me. Dr. Gracias came into the room and routinely asked the nurse my vitals. She informed him that they were elevated and explained what I had said about my fears. He walked over and looked me in the eyes and said to have no fear because he would care for me like I was his own daughter lying in that table. Maybe it was the gentleness in his voice or the compassion in his eyes, but I knew everything would be okay. Then the drugs kicked in and I drifted off to la-la land But he kept his promise! I highly recommend this doctor for all of your surgical neurology needs. He has truly been gifted by God to do great work in the medical world. He practices with a level of compassion that has been lost by the medical community. God bless!

My sister was a patient of Dr. Curry until an experience she had today - May 4th, 2026…read more She went in for an appointment due to ongoing back and chest pain, pain that I personally witnessed over the weekend where she could barely move during flare ups. Poor girl had it on and off and couldn't find relief. After explaining her symptoms to Courtney Telfer and her assistant, my sister was left alone in the exam room. While they were standing just outside the door, she overheard the following conversation: Courtney Telfer: "This is all just weird and doesn't make sense." Assistant: "Yeah it is, IF she is even telling the truth." And then they both proceeded to LAUGH. Let that sink in. A patient comes in for help, explains real and ongoing pain, and is immediately dismissed and accused of possibly lying, within earshot. This is not just UNPROFESSIONAL, it is UNACCEPTABLE. No patient should ever be made to feel like they are being judged, dismissed, or accused of dishonesty when seeking medical care. Because of this, my sister will not be returning, and I fully support that decision. Dr. Curry, this is a direct reflection of your staff and your practice. Patients trust your office with their health, and conversations like this destroy that trust instantly. This needs to be addressed immediately to ensure it does not happen to someone else. No one seeking medical care should ever walk away feeling like this. I hope the two ladies listed above truly as themselves if the healthcare setting is really for them... because this entire situation makes me SICK to think this is how they are with patients.

This was my second experience with Courtney, and I am compelled to share it so that others know what to expect if they choose this practice. My appointment was meant to be a med check for a new medication. I had prepared a list of symptoms and real examples of the struggle I was experiencing. At the time, I felt she was being dismissive, but after much reflection, I think she genuinely did not know the answers to my questions. I think she expected the appointment to go one way and when I presented her with what I was experiencing, she did not know how to handle it. It felt dismissive and incredibly frustrating - she did not seem to care or believe what I was saying. When I expressed that I am experiencing debilitating symptoms and that I am not at high risk for abusing medication, she LAUGHED, and said: "Well, everyone is at risk." More importantly, she offered no medical advice or guidance. She did not ask a single follow-up question. At one point, I asked her if she just didn't believe that my diagnosis was real. She stared at me blankly. This experience left me feeling judged and frustrated, and left me with zero confidence in Courtney's clinical judgment or her ability to address my concerns appropriately. I brought my concerns to the practice manager, Clark, but was completely ignored. I documented my concerns and submitted a formal complaint to Curry Family Medicine on 5/6, then sent a follow-up message on 5/19. I never received a response. This practice prides itself on small-town vibes and providing personalized care. My experience tells a different story. Also worth noting, the previous PA, Theresa Tan, and her nurses were AMAZING. I have not met Dr. Curry, but I cannot fathom having my name on a practice and ignoring the concerns of my longtime patients. Curry Family Medicine has shown me that my medical concerns will not be taken seriously and that my concerns regarding their practitioners will be dismissed. This is not a safe space.
