Womens Health Collective

I can’t say enough good things about this office as a whole. The front desk staff are amazing and pay attention to details. The nurse Melanie is amazing, so funny and down to earth. Makes me feel like we’ve been friends for years. The ultrasound techs I’ve seen were both so attentive and caring. The hype around Dr. McKenzie is for a reason and she’s worth the wait. She takes the time to explain things so you actually understand. She’s kind and patient with questions. Top notch!

I cant say enough good things about the incredible care Ive received from Erin, Nisha, and the entire staff at WHC. They truly listen and take the time to understand my needs, empowering me to make my own decisions while treating me with a respect that is beyond words. Their approach is compassionate, thoughtful, data-driven and patient-centered. I’m truly grateful for their dedication and wish every woman could experience this kind of healthcare. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend the Women’s Health Collective enough! I see several providers here - Nisha, Sarah, and Erin. Before meeting Nisha, my problems were brushed off and not listened to. I had been to many other providers who never made me feel heard or made any effort to investigate my pain. Nisha did just that, she ran tests and diagnosed me with a condition and provided treatment for it. I cried in my car after that visit because I felt so relieved. I am SO thankful for the care I receive at WHC! I appreciate their weight neutral approach to healthcare and find it really refreshing, and it’s one of the many reasons why I travel across the state for care here. I highly recommend checking this practice out if you are looking for compassionate care in Michigan!

I’ve chosen to use the women’s health collective for a number of different services and each staff member I’ve interacted with is kind, affirming and mindful to any difficulties/accommodating. You never feel rushed or like just a number, it truly feels like you have a whole healthcare team committed to your wellbeing. 10/10 would recommend to any woman looking for primary care, OBGYN, or other more alternative medicines- they are the best of the best!

I LOVE this place! They are so welcoming and kind. Dr. Nisha makes you feel comfortable when discussing personal concerns about your body. She’s very knowledgeable and I like her holistic approach. As women, we need to empower each other by building one another up. #girlpower!

Dr. Michele and Melanie made my IUD removal and insertion a walk in the park compared to past experiences. Dr. Michele walked me through everything prior to scheduling and Melanie helped my nerves the day before. Following multiple procedures, I highly recommend WHC.

I see Nisha and Sara for my healthcare, and have done so for years. I appreciate their inclusive, holistic, supportive, warm approach to healthcare and find their support staff, (especially nurses), go above and beyond to offer patience and kindness, and to normalize all the big feelings that can come along with doctors visits and health struggles in general. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I had my first appointment with Nisha yesterday for HRT after being frustrated with my previous endocrinologist. She is absolutely amazing, a very warm and friendly person. Ive never felt so seen, heard and validated in a doctors office before. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate. The staff at WHC are super awesome and they are a fully inclusive space. You are safe here 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I appreciate all the women that work here, they are always kind, caring, and supportive. I have been coming to Women’s Health Collective for 8 years now and I couldn’t be more happy with the many services they provide. I always look forward to my appointments because I feel heard when I have concerns about my health as well as my mental health. I feel that they truly want to help, Women that care about women.This plaque placed in the waiting room spoke volumes to me, my nephew is a proud member of the Odawa tribe.

I cannot say enough good things about this office and all of the staff. Like many women, at times Ive felt rushed at the OBGYN and feel like the doctor isnt really listening to me.Womens Health Collective has changed my life. Dr. Nisha McKenzie is thoughtful, truly listens, and is incredibly knowledgeable of the complexity of female health. She has helped me throughout the treatment of my diagnosis and makes me feel validated, heard, and hopeful. Her nurse, Olivia, is quick to respond to messages, sending script orders, and returning phone calls.I will always recommend this place!!

My sister referred me to this practice as I just recently moved to the West side of Michigan. This is the first womens health practice I have felt truly comfortable and listened to. They really care about you and your health which unfortunately nowadays, seems so rare. I am so grateful to have found Womens+ Health Collective!

I came to Womens Health Collective after my therapist recommended it. Nisha was so wonderful at my first visit. She made me feel extremely comfortable and was very easy to talk to. She listened to my issues and we decided physical therapy would be a good option for my personal issues and Lily Dawson is the absolute best! Going to see Lily is instantly comfortable and you feel like you are talking to one of your closest friends. This is the most relaxed I have ever felt in a doctors office, highly recommend.

There aren’t enough words in the English language to explain how grateful I am for the care I receive at Womens+ Health Collective. Not only do they view all of their patients as whole people, worthy of their time and attention, but they also are prompt with appointments, you’re not rushed out, the team genuinely lights up to see you. Top all of that off with wonderful trauma informed care?! Dream come true!I am a woman of size, who has lived her entire life misdiagnosed and thus, miserable. Within my first appointment Nisha had me appropriately diagnosed and on a new (truly life changing!!!) medication.No matter your size, your identity, or any other qualifier you will be respected, treated with kindness and compassion and get the help you need!

Artis I believe that to be the name of Sarah Mikas assistant has a very warm and calming way. With a beautiful smile. Dr. Mika was very easy to talk with and took time to make sure I didnt have any other questions. Its always hard transitioning into a new Doctor but Womens Health Collective made this transition smooth and easy.

They seem to provide okay service. Dr. Mika is nice. I had some basic bloodwork done at a wellness visit, and when I messaged the doc asking how I could raise my good cholesterol/lower bad, the office called me and said the doc wanted a video chat to answer that (not mentioning that I would get charged for a regular office visit). She spent 5 minutes on the phone with me, and then they charged my insurance company for a follow-up office visit, which means they billed me for a $30 copay (wellness visits are free on my insurance)!So, be forewarned that they will charge you for every little thing. Its like sitting in a restaurant, paying for the food you ordered, and then getting a bill after you eat for asking for silverware to eat with.I have NEVER had a doctor charge me for discussing my test results with me, until now. So, I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on. My daughter probably will stop going there too, because she definitely cant afford to get charged for a 5-minute video call. I recommend NOT using the Womens Health Collective.EDIT: Although they claim to want to make their policies better and improve care, they are just writing that because they want people to think they care. THEY DONT. They only care about getting money out of you. Otherwise, they would retract their insurance claim for the 5-minute video call and remove the $30 invoice they sent me. DONT BE FOOLED by their sincere-sounding claims. They refused to work with me at all, even though Ive been unemployed since February and on very limited income.

All of the staff here are amazing. The environment is clearly trauma informed, body positive, and LGBTQIA+ supportive. Nisha is the first provider I’ve seen throughout the past 20 years who really listened to me and kept looking for an answer. And found it! She really knows her stuff and clearly is in medicine to help people. She takes her time to hear your concerns and work with you to find a solution.

They deserve so many more than 5 stars. After dealing with a few other doctors who were dismissive of my problems they took the time to listen and get to the bottom of it. It was such a relief to genuinely be heard. They ask all the right questions and explain everything thoroughly. Every step of the way they make sure you feel safe and comfortable. They have really thought of everything. Everyone I have seen there has been truly amazing.

An intern named Trisha followed me home after my appointment with Nisha McKenzie. I have picture of her in front of my house in a gold jeep with yeezy sneakers on, hours after my first appointment ever with this establishment. They had me sign a document after the procedure, which was also a violation. Trisha should have not viewed my medical information and followed me home. I question if she was even a medical student or not. I filed a report with HIPPA for violating my personal information & will not be paying my bill until its settled.

Nisha & her team are such kind and empathetic people - exactly what you want with health care professionals. They are progressive, inclusive, andincredibly knowledgeable. I have felt very informed, empowered, and supported in all of my decisions regarding my health and reasons for visiting. Would recommend their services to all! Thank you for being a breath of fresh air when it comes to health care.

I just want to rave about my experience at Women’s Health Collective!After having some not so great visits at a different office, a friend recommended to me that I see Nisha. I am so glad I made the switch! Nisha didn’t just treat me like another patient, I was HER patient and she was going to take the time to really get to know me. I felt so comfortable in her presence and this comfort allowed me to divulge some issues I was having and this led me to Lilly for pelvic floor therapy. Lilly made me feel human and heard, and I had a fantastic experience with her as well. Because of my great experiences, I have now referred many friends. I urge you to make the switch to Women’s Health Collective if you aren’t loving your current gynecological office or you feel like ‘just another patient’. I promise that you will receive AMAZING care.

I am writing to share my positive experience with Tami Michele, DO and the CMA during my procedure this morning, Olivia. I had been dreading the procedure for over a month and was already on the verge of tears when entering the office this morning. Dr. Tami made me feel safe by taking the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, what prompted it, what I should expect, and asked me several questions. She also made space for me to ask questions and made me feel incredibly heard during the appointment. I was also very thankful for the availability of nitrous oxide during the appointment, which greatly alleviated my pain and anxiety during the procedure. Olivia and Dr. Tami made the experience as comfortable as possible, even asking me my favorite music and playing Lizzo during the procedure despite it being a very odd choice for morning time. Although this was not a fun experience, Dr. Tami and Olivia did everything in their power to make me feel comfortable and cared for. I would recommend WHC to others, especially Dr. Tami and Olivia, CMA.

I couldnt be happier with the care I have received from Nisha McKenzie, PA-C and everyone else who works at Womens Health Collective. I have been seeing Nisha for years and followed her to this new adventure. She is genuine and sincere in her approach to your health and truly takes the time to listen. The rest of the staff is incredibly courteous and helpful. It is very apparent that they strive to to provide each patient with the best care possible in a very welcoming environment.

Absolutely one of the most supportive and positive appointments I have ever had. Highly recommend. Nisha is warm and friendly. She spent a long time with me to understand my particular concerns and thoroughly explored options with me. if you are looking to be supported and understood this practice is for you.

Such a refreshing gynecological experience! Every person that I’ve interacted with at the clinic has been kind, gentle, and responsive. I appreciate the trauma-informed response that the providers take, and the overall friendly and welcoming environment created here.

I cannot say enough great things about the Womens+ Health Collective. Every staff member is so nice, they let you have so much input into your care, they help you understand your bill and insurance, and they care! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone for excellent care.

I can only say positive things about my recent interactions with the medical staff here and with Sarah Mika. Sarah is a great listener and answers my questions with a wealth of expertise. I am glad that I found a provider who makes me feel seen and heard.

I am thrilled that Grand Rapids has a women-led, respectful, inclusive and affirming healthcare practice like WHC. I leave every appointment feeling informed and empowered about my body and my health. Nisha does an amazing job of taking her time with each appointment, answering questions, providing education and reassurance and collaborating with me on the best course of action. I’m so glad I made my first appointment here and have a healthcare home for many years to come.

Came to Nisha with mystery pain and the desire to switch up birth control and she walked me through the process from start to finish! For mystery pain, she sent me to Lily for Pelvic Floor Therapy (100/10, cant recommend her highly enough) and then walked me through the process of getting an IUD. I feel 100% confident recommending the Womens Health Collective for any and all of your womens health needs. Women empowering women--we LOVE to see it!!

I followed Dr. Nisha Mckenzie to her new practice because she is the absolute best! She is so easy to talk to, truly listens to what you have to say and makes what would be a usually uncomfortable appointment, into a surprisingly very comfortable and anxiety free situation! She advocates for women and has a very positive women supporting women atmosphere in her office. Theres an infinite amount of positive things I could say about her, the office and overall visit each time I see her.

I’m so happy with my experience today that I could cry. Nisha made me feel truly listened to, and for once I am looking forward to taking control of my feminine health. I highly recommend this inclusive, warm, and professional space!

Most of my life I have been shamed by medical personnel for my weight. I struggle with pcos and was very nervous for my first appointment with Nisha. The entire experience, from making an appointment while my toddler was being difficult in the background, to being listened to and validated in my health concerns, to the recent ultrasound and lab work I had done, everyone has been so kind. I have never felt so respected, included, and cared for from a healthcare provider. Nisha and her staff (Im so sorry I dont remember more names!) are caring, kind, and make me feel like I belong. And this picture is posted next to the scales. Not once have I been talked down to, judged, or made to feel less than. Thank you for the work you do and the way you do it!

I met Nisha when she came to me to design the website for WHC — she was a lovely person to work for and I was drawn in by her mission but in the back of my mind thought, Theres just no way this can be real. Almost a year as her patient and Im here to tell you, she talks the talk AND walks the walk.I had a hysterectomy as a young adult and was having some recurring pain, she was the first person to sit down prepared with my health history, listen and then form a plan of attack. Every step of the way Nisha and the entire team at WHC made me feel affirmed and cared for. As most of us have learned the hard way, this is not the typical experience in the medical world today.I have been able to continue to work with Nisha as needed, but I also see Erin for her expertise in anti-depressants that limit sexual side effects and Lily for pelvic floor PT. I also see (and LOVE) Hannah at Grand Rapids Specialty Therapy and Kate at Little Dipper (both inside WHC.) All to say, as a woman with high standards, I feel qualified stating this is the most affirming, progressive and supportive space for all people identifying as women. Ending this here before I get all teary — WHC is just that great.

Nisha and everyone included within the practice are the best of the best. After seeing many doctors before finally finding Nisha, Erin, and Lily a few years ago, I had came at my wits end. From the very first visit I knew it was going to be different. Nisha had plan A, B, C, D, etc lined up to help me and I knew she truly cared. They are the most welcoming and knowledgeable group of women and I would follow them wherever they land! So grateful to have a group of providers who have gotten to know me and care about me personally along with my health.

When I left after my first appointment, I cried the happiest and saddest tears. Finally, I felt heard! My issues weren’t pushed aside. My health wasn’t blamed solely on my weight. I was given information to help me understand and make decisions about my own health. I have never experienced this before, not truly. I was asked questions about my health that had never been asked before. Women are half of the population; our health matters too!

Hands-down the most positive healthcare experience Ive ever had. Scheduling was quick and easy (only a 3 week wait to see a provider, unlike the 3+ months other offices offered me!). I felt so cared for, valued, and listened to at my appointment -- it was truly a conversation and Nisha took all the time I needed to answer my questions. Thank you WHC!

Nisha McKenzie, PA-C and founder of the Womens Health Collective, provided comfortable care during my visit. She makes connections with her patients during their appointments, while also seamlessly guiding and teaching her Medical Students that are facilitating care as well. The Womens Health Collective is warm and inviting, and is far from the cold/sterile feelings of most medical offices. I look forward to future appointments with Nisha. Her care for womxn and their physical and mental health is outstanding.

I have never felt so safe, listened to and in control of my own health as I do with Nisha and Lily at WHC! I went from crying in the bathroom at work every month to almost pain-free with a multi-faceted approach of surgery, medication and physical therapy. Thank you!

The best care I have ever received. Everything is incredibly thoughtful, from how patients might handle different clinical procedures due to previous trauma, to open and nonjudgmental discussion of my treatment options. After years of healthcare workers writing off my symptoms as “you just have bad cycles” I finally have a diagnosis! Grateful I have WHC to show me what’s possible.

TW womens issues , pain, and poor serviceI just had a terrible experience with women’s health collective and I want to cry. I am in so much pain & finally thought I found an obgyn’s office who wants to help. Instead I am told I can’t be seen because of a billing issue I thought was resolved. I am then told I have a record of no call no shows for appointments that I missed which I know is incorrect. Then I am told in addition to what I owe for the billing dispute I had with my insurance company that I also owe $75 from cancelling an appointment same day as well as for the no call no shows. When I was told day of by their office my insurance would not cover the service. Then she proceeded to inform me dates of visits I supposedly no call no showed for that I knew nothing about. Now if I owe a balance I will pay it, but this was all very off to me. I told them I was more than willing to make an arrangement until everything could be verified. I was told I still could not be helped.I finally found doctors that would listen and then this happens. I don’t know what to do about my pain in the meantime? I called my primary care they refer me back to the obgyn. In the meantime my cysts have me vomiting from pain. It makes me feel like they never cared about me as a patient and it was all about the money based on all these fees and such they are trying to tack on outside of the bill that was in dispute with insurance. Now I am basically being listed as a problem patient I am sure. This is so disappointing 🙁

I have nothing but amazing things to say about WHC! Nisha, Lily, Dr. O, and Erin have made such a positive impact on my health. It’s so important to me that they each sit and have a conversation with you, respect you, listen to you, and come up with the best suited plan for you.

I have experienced safety, validation, inclusion, and exceptional care at the WHC. Both Nisha and Lilly have a trauma-informed, consent-based approach that has allowed me to feel safe and secure in the care Im receiving.

The most inclusive, thoughtful and supportive facility. I will be moving all my medical needs that I can over to this place. I’ve had such a hard time finding a positive medical experience in Grand Rapids and every single staff member made me feel so comfortable.

Truly what patient care should be about - taking the time to talk, listen and recommend courses of action based on patient needs, thoughts, and feelings. Nisha and staff are offering a truly new medical experience.

I’m so grateful for Women’s Health Collective, a fantastic group of kind & compassionate people who have many services to offer. I’ve been seen for their Gynecology & Reiki- both very positive experiences which I will continue.

I highly recommend this company. Today was my first time. I saw Dr. Nisha McKenzie - she’s amazing, takes her time with patients and very knowledgeable. They make sure they know exactly how you identify and make sure that you’re comfortable with everything. Thank you - Dr. McKenzie!

Nisha McKenzie, PA-C and founder of the Womens Health Collective, is an amazing provider. She truly cares about her patients and every aspect of their wellness. The Womens Health Collective is an incredibly well-rounded practice, designed to care for the patients whole self. Only five stars because I cant give it ten!

Absolutely the best center for focused women’s health! Nisha is absolutely amazing as a provider and advocate for women. The staff is the best of the best and I cannot rave enough about this practice!!! You won’t be disappointing in this office nor the medical expertise they provide!

Beautiful facility and kind employees, but it wasn’t the best fit for me. They said the pelvic floor therapist was accepting new patients, but in the end she couldn’t fit me in her schedule for over a month. I felt like I wasted my time.

If you don’t know how to properly de-escalate a situation where your patient is literally in a mental health crisis without resorting to hanging up and victim shaming, then you have no right to call yourself a psychiatrist. Anyone who would say “what do you expect me to do?” When their patient is pleading for help and have detailed their dire situation multiple times, should not be a doctor. Someone who says their patient is guilt shaming them should not be a doctor. Erin Walker should be investigated into her mistreatment of patients.

Love, love, love this practice! Every employee is extremely caring, smart, and compassionate. They also have multiple services available all within their location! All of the clinical and administrative staff are wonderful. This is how health care should be!

My first visit and I am so grateful it was recommended to me. The staff is so nice and I am so impressed with Erin’s wealth of knowledge. I never felt rushed and they took the time to really get to know me and my needs.

I cannot recommend Nisha and Erin enough. They both make an effort to listen to you and work with you to find a solution. I feel heard and validated. This office is truly one of a kind and I would recommend it to anyone!

Wonderful practice - I have never before felt so safe, seen, and validated in a medical setting. Nisha, Erin, and the rest of the team are absolutely fantastic.

This is an incredible office for womens health. The providers are kind, patient, and take the time to understand. Ive been so well cared for by this collective and am so grateful. I cannot recommend them enough!

Staff is very thoughtful and helpful. Everyone was careful and made sure it was a safe environment with COVID-19. Love everyone I’ve worked with. They are very professional, personable, and invested in your wellbeing.

I cant say enough amazing things about Womens Health Collective and the team of ladies that work there. They are incredibly responsive, helpful and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.

The staff at this facility are friendly, compassionate and caring. I highly recommend the Womens Health Collective to others searching for answers or have concerns about your well-being, great facility.

Highly recommend Women’s Health Collective! Everything is positive every time. Patients are heard, seen and respected. This office is a game changer!

The best place for women of any age! Its a caring staff who are a wealth of information! They take the time to make you feel comfortable sharing information and asking hard questions. Wish they had been around 30 years ago!

I have had a great experience with Nisha and with everyone Ive interacted with so far at Womens Health Collective.

Took a great deal of time learning me and history very comfortable office and kind team members

Great experience and comprehensive care. Extra time spent and didn’t feel rushed through visit.

The staff that work here are caring, dedicated, amazing people!! So happy to be a patient here!

Wonderful, caring staff, truly thoughtful and a SAFE space for all humans!

Poor treatment, poor communication, poor healthcare overall

Very affirming and welcoming from the first call throughout the experience.
