I have been a patient of Dr. Rienstra's for over 10 years. Simply put, he is the best doctor I have ever had. He takes a personal approach to help me live a healthier life and that is exactly what his care has done for me. I have found that he cares about my well being, both physically and mentally, and has continually worked within my personal limitations to affect positive improvements in my health.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rienstra's for about 16 years - mostly physicals and more routine visits. Lately, I am dealing with more complex heart-related issues and I am working with specialists. I trust Dr. Rienstra to explain what the specialists are doing and to advise me about other things I can do to support myself as I take harsher medications and pursue treatments. I find his help invaluable.

Dr. Douwe Rienstra will likely be the most intelligent and broadly skilled medical practitioner you will meet in your life. He is almost unique in his skills as a medical problem solver. As a medical generalist, Douwe includes both homeopathy and traditional medicine. Instead of barely listening to symptoms, then prescribing a pill…Douwe deeply focuses on his patient. He listens with an acute ear applying five decades of experience with critical analysis. I’ve known no other doctor in my life that is as intelligent or as superb a healer as Dr. Douwe Rienstra.

Yearly physicals are important to us and Dr. Rienstra has taken care of us for the past 9 years. We place our trust in his expertise and medical guidance for our health throughout the year. Dr. Rienstra exemplifies what we value in a primary care physician. Between after hour emergencies and routine office visits, Dr. Rienstra truly cares for our whole health.

I am extremely happy with Dr. Reinstra. My appointments are not rushed, and he is knowledgeable in alternative therapies as well as traditional medicine. I trust his advice implicitly, which is very rare for me.

I drive an hour to see Dr. Rienstra. He is extremely knowledgeable and bright, yet respectful towards the patient's opinion. In other words, he listens! Because of him, my health has improved after years of going to other Drs. and not getting the treatment I needed. He also writes really interesting newsletters which I enjoy reading. I highly recommend him.

Dr Rinensta made a math mistake that almost killed my son. My son had an extremely painful ear infection and Dr Rienstra wrote a perscription for a narcotic which was far beyond what my son could have taken safely. Fortunately the pharmacist we went to knew our family well, and recognized that my son was not a 450 lb adult, but a toddler. When the pharmacist called Dr Rienstra to correct the perscription Dr Rienstra refused to change it. Over an hour, and mutiple calls, with Dr Rienstra calling the pharmacist names and refusing to admit he had made a mistake. Yes, Dr Rienstra has a nice office, and appears to be kind and caring. But he berates people he sees as beneath him, and he refuses to admit to and correct mistakes. This is a potentially deadly combination in a physician.

Dr. Rienstra, has been my physician for 15 years. I am extremely pleased. He has an amazing ability to listen and ask the just right questions. Office visits are a conversation not - I have the answers and do as I say. He and his office staff are wonderful.

This MD is a very special guy. His staff is also friendly and helpful. They work together to help people help themselves deal with health problems. They have some special deals for being late, not curing you, or brining in new clients. I enjoy my visits there but they keep me so healthy I seldom see them!

I highly recommend Dr Reinstra. He is thoughtful,and through in his approach to resolve medical problems. Primarily, he is an educator who empowers his patients by working in partnership with them using both conventional and alternative medical practices.
