As soon as we stepped outside their very limited area of interest they stopped caring and became incredibly incapable and incompetent. poor record keeping. poor communication with the rest of my medical team. just a waste of time.

I will echo the sentiments of other reviewers - Dr. Kaufman doesn't treat her patients and families in the industrial fashion that our system is producing today. She understand that we are a team, when working together for my best medical outcomes. When my son had to transition from pediatric care to adult care, he also chose to go with Dr. Kaufman. She also does a very good job staying up-to-date on the latest medical science and standards of care, which can also be hard to find. When she isn't abreast of something esoteric, she takes the time to look into it and get back with recommendations

In my experience with Dr. Elise Pickens and Dr. Amanda Kaufmann, I highly recommend them both! They take their time and are much more thorough than any Dr. I have ever been to. They are not quick to throw meds at patients unless absolutely necessary and they give patients a say in their medical care rather than having a one size fits all mentality. I feel extremely blessed to have found Integrative Healthcare.

Note all other 5-star reviews praise their anti-science stance.
Amanda Kaufman is ostensibly a doctor, but after having her recommend a vaccine schedule unapproved by the Michigan board of medicine, and being given homeopathic remedies after my son had a cough for three weeks, she's a doctor in name only. Stay away if you like to keep your kid healthy. Oh and she is late for literally Every. Single. Appointment. It's exhausting.

Dr. Kaufman is the rare doctor who listens and takes time to look at the whole person, rather than just playing a game of whack-a-mole with symptoms as so many other doctors have done with me. I appreciate both her knowledge and her compassionate approach to health care. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes, which is impressive considering the amount of time she gives me at each appointment. We feel very fortunate to have our whole family (adults and kids) under her care.

Because Integrative Healthcare Providers does not prioritize pediatric services, we will be taking our children to Turke and Thomashow. Dr. Kaufman was our first pediatrician, but we were forced to switch to Turke and Thomashow when she opened her new practice and she was no longer in our network. Years later, we ended up with a new insurance provider and decided to give her practice a try. We were happy at Turke and Thomashow, but their proximity was not ideal and we also trusted Dr. Kaufman. Dr. Kaufman was not accepting new patients at the time, so we started seeing Dr. Picken. Our experience
