About the Practice

Rheumatology is an outpatient specialty department located at 3271 Clear Vista Ct. Grand Rapids, MI 49525. This is our primary location where we see a mix of adult patients Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm. The providers practice out of the Clear Vista, Grand Haven Center, Big Rapids locations. There is currently one physician assistant that see patients at the Grand Haven Center in Grand Haven, MI 3 days/week. There is currently one physician that sees patients two days a week in Big Rapids and a physician assistant that will be seeing patients two days a week in Big Rapids soon.

 We have a team of 7 physicians, 3 advanced practice providers, nurses, medical assistants, and ambulatory care technicians. This MA would work in tandem with our nurses and providers to support our patients clinically. The MA will assist with patient rooming, medication injections, ultrasound guided injections, vaccine administration, along with chart prepping, patient phone calls, patient MyChart messages, electronic faxes, medication authorizations, and quality assurance tasks. There is an expectation, though very rare, that travel to the Grand Haven and Big Rapids locations would occur if there were staffing needs however, we currently have clinical team members that primarily support the Grand Haven and Big Rapids clinics.
