Best Doctors & Health Care Pros in Grand Rapids – 2025

We all love talking about the fun things to do in Grand Rapids with kids: best beaches, fun museums, fave schools.

But publicly asking your Instagram posse for a recommendation for a counselor for your kid with mental health issues? Or finding an OB/GYN to talk to about about experiencing pain during intercourse?

Yeah… maybe that’s not something for the Reddit crew.

It’s really nice to get intel from people who know when looking for providers for your family. And we’ve done the work for you. Without you having to publicize anything.

We polled people across West Michigan to find the area’s best dentists, eye doctors, therapists and more.

Now that the results are in, you can use this guide to find your new favorite healthcare provider!
