The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

I went to the ER with what turned out to pneumonia, well i was a little surprised to the ER doctor in his Stormy Cromer hat and buffalo plaid shirt. Excellent care, he explained everything and answered my questions. The best care ive had in the UP. I highly recommend Dr. Vix.
Dr Raynor was thorough, explained things regarding my treatment in an unhurried manner. Dr Raynor answered all my questions completely and treated me with respect and concern. I feel I will be well cared for and am confident that I’ve chosen an excellent surgeon.
Dr Vix is the most awesome ER Dr that Schoolcraft Memorial has! He is always so thorough and step by step rules out a diagnosis. His bedside manner is amazing. Very caring and gentle and explains everything so you can understand what’s happening. He has a very respectful disposition and is awesome with my 98 year old father! Love him!
Kind, compassionate, friendly, and listened to my concerns. An overall wonderful example of a medical Doctor. Thank you.

Dr. Randall performed a total reverse shoulder replacement in July.
The surgery went well and my post op recovery care in the rehab unit and follow up with the Doc. have been nothing short of excellent. I would recommend anyone in the community go see Dr. Randall for any orthopedic issues.
You will not find a better doctor than Doctor Vix. He explained everything very thoroughly and made it easier to understand for our 6 year old. His care and compassion shows!
I recently saw Dr. Rayner for a throat issue and he was very informative and took the time needed to accomplish my appointment without making me feel he was rushing or didn’t care. I saw him previously on a different issue and felt the same way. I like him and will continue to see him in the future if some issues arises..
The visit with the doctor was great!
