Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

We love Dr Meppelink. Looking forward to where he goes next. Definitely a loss for Metro Health.

A doctor that listens and knows what he is doing. Too bad that he is no longer with Metro. Such a loss for Metro Health and its patients.

Dr. Meppelink is so good at explaining health issues and things to watch for. He gives you the why behind the sickness and the medications to really educate parents and give them the power to make better decisions.

Dr. Meppelink has cared for all 3 of our kiddos. I would be devastated if we had to switch pediatrician's. He is so thorough in diagnosis. I have never left his office in question. He truly cares for the kids. He isn't an "over-prescriber" and he is flexible with the vaccination schedules.

We have been bringing our son to him for yrs. My son is 8 yrs old, Autistic and won't see anyone else, he has bonded with the doctor and trusts him completely, we highly recommend him. He is a great Doctor and knows his stuff. He is very well known in the community for being the best pediatrician in west Michigan. A great listener and takes time to explain things to the children and the parents. Thanks for being a great Doctor.

All 5 of my children are patients of Dr. Meppelink, and we've been with him for over 18 years. When we moved to Cascasde, we kept driving to his office in Wyoming. When he moved to Hudsonville, we kept taking out kids to see him, despite the 25 mile drive to the far side of town. We tried once to switch to a more convenient pediatric office, but after one appointment, my wife and I both decided he was worth the drive across town. This level of trust and confidence is not easily replaced.

On my first visit with Dr Meppelink, he sat in the room for 40 minutes and explained things to me in an informative but simple and easy to understand manner. I was immediately at ease upon meeting him and am so glad we were referred to his practice. I feel so confident in his abilities to treat my 11mo son and future children. Highly recommend him!!
