After several years as a registered nurse, Michelle realized she wanted to work more closely with her patients to help them achieve their optimum health. This is what inspired her to become a family nurse practitioner. Michelle enjoys getting to know her patients and working with them over the course of their lifetime. Her biggest motivator is watching her patient’s overall health progress as they work together with each visit. Outside of work Michelle enjoys reading, cooking and exploring Michigan’s great outdoors. I work as a team with my patients to help them accomplish their health goals.

She loves to see her young patients grow up and knowing she is impacting their health. Amy looks for education opportunities and is passionate about preventive care and making sure her patients have the resources they need. As a mother of five, Amy spends a lot of her time with her kids.
