Kassem Makki, D.O.

I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based emergency care that prioritizes patient safety, clear communication and respect. Patients can expect prompt, attentive treatment tailored to their individual needs in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time outdoors and taking in all that nature has to offer. I love going on bike rides, hiking local trails, camping and fishing whenever I get the chance.

Education

• Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine

Residency

• Emergency Medicine, New York-Presbyterian

Along with emergency care, I have a strong interest in research that helps improve how we care for patients in the emergency room (ER). I focus on ways to make treatment more efficient, consistent and patient-centered — especially for those who visit the ER often or have complex needs.
