My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

To the average person, the medical world can be confusing, intimidating and even frightening. As your personal physician, it’s my job to guide you through the ever‐changing maze of medical information, to treat your present illnesses and perhaps most importantly, to give you the factual information you need to help you stay healthy. I believe I can do this most effectively by being affiliated with MDVIP. I reduced my patient load considerably so I can spend more time with each patient and perform a thorough review of past treatments and procedures. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. I look forward to getting to know you as an individual and working as a team to help you set goals for maintaining or improving your health and better preventing future problems.  

In addition to my passion for prevention and wellness, I have a strong interest in Travel and Wilderness Medicine. I love to use that knowledge for myself and share it with patients to assure safe and healthy travels. I have lived in Muskegon all my life and have been practicing at the same location for over 35 years. As such, I have long‐term relationships with many specialists in our area. And while I believe that laughter is good medicine and lightens the load, I take my job as your personal physician very seriously.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Roy for decades. I think the world of her. Although I don’t have many aches and pains, I feel a lot better after seeing her.

I'm pretty new, still, to Dr. Patricia Roy, but in my limited dealings with her, I have found her to be one of the most down-to-earth doctors I've ever known.

When I sit with Dr. Roy, I don't feel like I'm being half listened to or rushed. When I ask questions, she gives thorough answers, and checks to make sure that I'm understanding. I had to call her,… See more

from Kathy in MI January 20, 2024 for Patricia J. Roy, DO

I would like to thank Dr. Roy for being my doctor for nearly 40 years. My most recent experience, may be one that I remember for a long time. I was vacationing in Arizona last February, when I developed a very enlarged parotid gland. I was able to have correspondence with her and her staff during this time. I was able to send pictures and even received a phone call from Dr. Roy, to make sure I… See more

from Cheryl in MI January 20, 2024 for Patricia J. Roy, DO

2016 my daughter was diagnosed with cancer. She was the only doctor through her illness that she trusted. When I did not know what to do I would call the office and they would help me. Dr Roy not only finds what is wrong with you at your appointments but she shows pictures and explains what is going on. She is the kind of doctor everyone should have. Kind, passionate, caring and just overall… See more
