Michael R. Book, MD

I am 77yrs old and had never really been to a doctor before, except when I had my babies. I grew up in a home where food was medicine and sauerkraut was the treatment from sore throats to stomach aches. Not all bad but....... Then enter Dr Book and my first real check ups and blood work. all kind of scary to me. Well, he is the kindest, most aware , involved Dr ..who spends real time getting to know me and go over my individual whole person ! How comforting !! And he has been my husband's Dr for longer...will never forget his meeting my husband on a Sunday to check out his eye that had had a scary flare up. What a great Dr in the truest sense. Dr Book, Larry and I truly appreciate all your goodness and everyone in your office. You run an organized, efficient ship. You make us feel safe and cared for. and you work very hard!1

ALWAYS AVAILABLE, ALWAYS CANDID, ALWAYS HONEST, ALWAYS ON-POINT, ALWAYS READY TO REFER THE BEST SPECIALIST, ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE !!!

Dr. Michael Book. For two and a half years, he became not only a healer but a source of solace for me as I walked through the arduous journey of my husband's stage 4 cancer.

It all began with a somber diagnosis that shook the foundation of our lives. My husband, Denis, faced the battle of his life, and Dr. Book emerged as a guiding light during these dark times. His compassion was palpable, a soothing voice and his attention to detail provided comfort to both of us.

From the very first meeting, Dr. Book's demeanor was a blend of professionalism and genuine empathy. He took the time to explain every aspect of Denis' treatment plan, translating medical jargon into words that resonated with hope rather than despair. It was not merely about the physical ailment but about the person—their fears, their hopes, and their dignity.

As the months passed and the illness progressed, Dr. Book's unwavering support remained constant. He was not just a doctor; he became a confidante, I could turn to for reassurance in the darkest hours. Through countless appointments, late-night calls, and unexpected hospital stays, Dr. Book stood by us, and coordinate with the medical team.

When Denis' journey came to an end two weeks ago, it was Dr. Book who stood by my side, a pillar of strength in the face of profound loss. He extended his support beyond the hospital walls, providing guidance on navigating grief.

In reflecting on these challenging years, I find solace in the profound impact of Dr. Book's compassion. The doctor not only treated an illness but nurtured a spirit. His genuine care illuminated the darkest corners of our journey, offering a glimmer of hope and humanity amid the pain.

Dr. Michael Book became more than a physician—he became a symbol of compassion, a guardian of dignity, and a friend in the storm.

Had an issue that was not resolved elsewhere. I called my PCP, Dr. Michael Book and he managed to get me an appointment with specialist very quickly. The health issue is being resolved. Good follow up from his office as well.
