I will start this review by saying if I could give more than 5 stars I would. The staff here are…read moresome of the best medical professionals and support staff I have ever encountered. The doctors are efficient, but the majority of the praise goes to the nurses and CNAs and housekeeping, etc. My father was admitted after amazing care and compassion in the E.R. We did have to wait a little for a room but the care during the wait and the cheerfulness of the staff never waivered. Once in his room, his care team was fast and efficient in getting him settle all the while joking and laughing with him and making him feel safe and comfortable. I do want to make sure it is well known that the nurses and support staff can be stretched thin but you can count on their dedication to our family and friends. We are worried about one person laying in the bed but they are worried about A LOT of people laying in those beds.

Marshall Medical Associates and their staff are a complete joke. The have dismissed my family for…read morerude behavior due to me questing Nina the billing clerk over in accurate charges. Furthermore, they are lacking when it comes to patient confidently. I over heard the office manager discussing private patient matters outside the room I was in, the Dr. came in to apologize and stated he was sorry I heard that. As soon as you build a relationship with one of their doctors, they leave to move on to better, more patient orientated location. They are over booked and understaffed. Good luck making and appointment, you have to make it at least 30 days in advance then wait for as long as 30 minutes on some occasions. I guess I owe them a THANK YOU for pushing me out, forcing me to find a more competent location to spend my money.

This morning (08/21/2019) I stopped in at Marshall medical Associates and was promptly greeted by a…read morevery unpleasant front desk worker. A "Can I Help you" was murmured as the sliding glass window was opened. I will not go into description about the worker for her own privacy purposes, but the short conversation with her was quite unpleasant. After having an appointment there within the week prior I was unaware that my follow up appointment was scheduled for a different building because the dermatologist only schedules out appointments in that building certain days. When I informed the front desk worker that I was here for my appointment 15 minutes early she promptly laughed at me for being in the wrong location, Nearly mocked me when I said I had an appointment there with in the last week, and was humored at the fact that I did not know that my doctor only rented out select days there. I was in quite shocked seeing that a small business like Marshall medical Associates is willing to hire someone with such poor customer service and they are still able to be a functioning business in today's society. I work two jobs in customer service at 21 years of age, and I have never felt so belittled by a professional business such as Marshall medical Associates. The icing on the cake is when they close the sliding glass window in front of your face and proceeded to laugh at you with the other desk worker. This should be no example for your children, for your family, or yourself in the customer service realm, especially at a place that already makes you uncomfortable to be at due to your body's impurity's. I hope that anything going on in her life that causes her to treat guests with such a lack of empathy is resolved. As for the actual Battle Creek dermatology and skin center that I'm sitting in currently, the staff that they have renting out space at that Marshall Location is very friendly and a good example of professional, prompt, and proper service.

I've had poison ivy this summer. I went to the walk-in clinic in Battle Creek twice and they were…read moregreat. The third time, the PA scolded me and said I should never come to a walk-in clinic for the same illness more than once. She said if it warrants a second visit I should go to my regular physician, whom I was unable to get into for 2 weeks. I have full and backup insurance, so it wasn't about money. But I really did not appreciate the lecture, or poor care the third visit. If it's a real thing that you can't go to a walk-in clinic more than once on the same issue, I'd like to know that rule, and the reasoning behind it. Especially when my regular physician is not available in a reasonable time for the illness. I've been going to this clinic for years, even before it became owned by Oaklawn Hospital. I've always had great care until this lecture.

They quickly eliminate you as a patient, and refuse to fill vital prescriptions, if you owe them money. I am currently out of work, desperately needed a refill on my blood pressure meds, and they refused me. I have a small balance...not even a large one, told them I would be able to make a payment in a couple weeks when I received my social security check. Their response was a "too bad, so sad" type of answer, I wil make the payment, but I will never doctor there again. I want a doctor who CARES about my health, and whether I have a Stroke or not, not one who just wants my money.

I want to preface this review with a positive; both the office staff member Jacob and Patient…read moreAdvocate Representative Amy were absolutely everything you should expect and want in the health care field. Warm, understanding, and immensely helpful. The providers could learn much from them! With that said, I'm also in the process of working through an open complaint with the patient advocate representative Amy to hopefully reductate and coach the provider I saw as to ensure they cause no future harm to other patients simply seeking mental health support. It's so disconcerting that I have been with Oaklawn for years and this happened to me. Despite the complaint process, I would be utterly remiss not sharing this, despite the outcome. I would not recommend Jennifer Wawzysko as a provider to patients who value collaborative care or who advocate for themselves. Despite the bio on Oaklawn's website stating that she prioritizes patient education and shared decision-making, my experience did not reflect that. During my visit, the appointment lasted approximately 3-4 minutes. I was interrupted repeatedly and not given the opportunity to fully explain my concerns. No questions were asked about my health history, background, or personal context. A diagnosis was given that I had not sought help for, and I was not consulted or informed about the reasoning behind it. I left feeling dismissed, unheard, and mischaracterized. This experience was especially concerning given the nature of mental health and specialty care, where understanding the patient's perspective is crucial. I hope Oaklawn will consider feedback like this when evaluating the quality of care provided

I jumped through a couple of hoops (got a referral from my PCP and submitted records to Oaklawn from my current doctor). Oaklawn all out denied my referral a new patient. They said that it was because of the medications that I'm being prescribed. I've spent the last 8 years getting these medications dialed in with my current provider. The only reason I requested to become a patient is because my current doctor isn't in-network with my insurance and I pay a ton of money out of pocket every month to be seen. I could use the VA, but choose not to because I have insurance to see private doctors. This is a travesty on the part of Oaklawn. They are denying mental health services to those who are asking to be helped. I even offered to stop taking my medication that I'm currently being prescribed taking and start fresh with one of their providers. Now I'll have to drive almost an hour away to the nearest provider to have a 10 minute appointment. So frustrated!
