Tim Taylor, PA-C

"Tim Taylor grew up in the suburbs of Chicago Illinois where he was very active serving the community, playing sports, and yes watching “Home Improvement”. He went on to graduate from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina with a bachelors degree in biology. He took a short time off after school where he worked in a family practice office as a medical assistant, phlebotomist, lab tech and x-ray technician. He eventually moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan to pursue a career as a physician assistant at Western Michigan University. He graduated in August of 2013 and later that month started working with Marshall Medical Associates where he worked for 5 years. He enjoyed his time there but realized the burden of modern insurance based health care and is excited to be joining Dr. Mark in his effort to bring back a healthier traditional family doctor model. He lives in Battle Creek with his wife, the women of his dreams, and four children. He enjoys all things sports, considers himself a family man, and yes, doing “home improvements”."

"Whole Family Direct Care is part of a new model to improve the relationship between the patient and their Primary Care doctor. It follows the Direct Primary Care model that removes insurance from the picture of your health care and replaces it with a low monthly membership fee. This allows Dr. Mark to reduce his patient panel size and remove many of the barriers and intrusions created by insurance companies and government plans like Medicaid or Medicare. With a reduced patient base, Dr. Mark has the ability to focus on what is important, you the patient. The ability to tailor your care to more of your specific needs becomes possible. The ability to keep the simple things simple becomes possible. The ability for longer office visits to address all your needs becomes possible. Whole Family Direct Care is all about getting back to basics. Dr. Mark’s goal is to re-invigorate the Family Doctor/Patient relationship that has been chipped away by the current medical system. He wants his patients to have better access than ever before so that your care becomes number one while working to keep your overall medical costs lower."
