About Michael J Deweerd

About the Provider

As a pre-medical student, I was attracted to science and the prospect of using it to improve people’s lives and alleviate suffering. As a family medicine physician, I truly enjoy caring for people of all ages and building relationships.

I’m honored that people trust me to serve as their partner in health, and I strive to repay their trust by remaining current with the latest research, guidelines, and techniques. I approach people holistically and explore how a person’s family, occupation, spirituality, hobbies, and preferences shape their lives and care decisions. I’m drawn to cardiology, procedures, dermatology, men’s health, and chronic diseases. I also enjoy teaching and mentoring younger clinicians.

One of my favorite things to do is to help people achieve mental peace. In the context of uncertainty, questions, and concerns, this can be challenging. Serving as an experienced guide as people navigate their health care journey brings me great joy and satisfaction.

LGBTQIA+ Safe & Affirming
