About Kara L Krol
About the Provider
I enjoy helping patients learn to care for themselves. I like teaching patients about preventative health and reviewing test results with them. Being in primary care gives me the opportunity to get to know my patients over a long period of time.
In 2003, I started working for Michgan Medical, PC (mmpc), which then became part of Spectrum Health Medical Group in 2011. I have been with my current practice for over 10 years.
