More about Theresa Kordish DO
My Background and Story
I am a dedicated Family Practice Physician, committed to providing comprehensive and personalized primary care. With extensive experience in diagnosing, treating, and preventing a wide range of medical conditions, my focus is on early detection, chronic disease management, and preventive care. I believe that the role of a primary care physician goes beyond addressing immediate health concerns—it's about building lasting relationships with patients, ensuring continuity and personalized care that enhances overall wellness.
My journey into medicine began with an associate degree in dental hygiene from Kalamazoo Valley Community College. From there, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences from Western Michigan University, followed by further studies in pre-medical sciences at Aquinas College and Grand Valley State University. I then completed my Doctor of Osteopathic degree at Des Moines University of Osteopathic Medicine in Iowa.
After medical school, I returned to my hometown of Kalamazoo, MI, where I completed my residency in Family Medicine at the Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies through Michigan State University. I began practicing at Kalamazoo Valley Family Practice, offering full-spectrum family care. In 1995, I founded my own practice, Health Care Associates, where I delivered personalized care to families, from newborns to the elderly.
Throughout my career, I’ve remained passionate about providing tailored healthcare solutions for each patient. Whether managing chronic conditions, promoting preventive care, or overseeing immunizations, I aim to improve the quality of life for all those under my care.
During the economic recession in 2008, I shifted gears, recertifying as an Emergency Room Physician to meet the rising demand for qualified professionals in that field. My commitment to patient care has always been my top priority, and I continue to stay updated with the latest medical practices to serve my community.
