At Michigan Medicine our goal is to provide the best health care experience possible. If we fall short of your expectations, we want to know about it.
You have the right to express any concerns you may have. Patient Relations is the destination for patients and families when the health care provided fails to meet expectations.
We want and need your feedback, comments, and questions so that we can improve for you and for future patients. After you speak with us, we will work to address your concerns or questions.
