Pain Management
OSTEOPATHIC MANIPULATION
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is a modality consisting of hands-on techniques used by osteopathically trained physicians to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury. It is involved with moving muscles, joints, and soft tissue in such ways as to open and mobilize regions of prior restriction and pain. This training in musculoskeletal injury repair helps to reverse newly injured regions, as well as chronic injuries of muscles, nerves and bones. It allows for the practitioner to have a deep understanding of how the body’s systems are interconnected. It also allows the practitioner to evaluate, identify, and treat regions of the body that have been injured in the past, which, for all practical purposes have “gone away,” but still restricting full function at other regions of the body.

Dr. Kooi
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)
Physician with board-certification in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulation.
Education: I grew up in mid-Michigan in a town outside of Lansing (Perry) where I attended K-12. After high school I attended Michigan State University for my undergraduate education, earning a BS in Nutritional Science in the Honor’s College. After which I then attended Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine, graduating in May 2019.
Internship and residency: Completed at Mercy Health Hospital, Fruitport Family Medicine Residency with graduation in 2022. Upon graduation I was board-certified in Osteopathic Manipulation and in Family Medicine.
Dreams: From early on in my career I have had a strong desire to practice medicine in a way that is truly patient-centered. My desire and habit is to establish a relationship of mutual trust with my patients and to treat my patients with dignity and with active listening in a setting that makes my patients feel comfortable telling me about their life. I believe that we can partner together to improve the health and wellbeing of my patients.
Interests: I love being able to treat the full range of ages and conditions that is afforded in Family Medicine. Taking care of multiple members of the same family throughout the many life stages is a veritable privilege of what I get to do for a living.
In addition to Family Medicine, I enjoy getting to embrace the tenants of Osteopathic medicine (see other blog post regarding osteopathic tenants). This includes, but is not limited to, my use of Osteopathic Manipulation in the treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
I am specifically interested in preventative medicine with a focus on educating patients so that they can make wise and informed decisions about their own health in keeping with their goals and values. As a family physician, I also realize the significant role that nutrition plays in the health and well being of my patients and I make effort to integrate nutritional needs into my patients overall health plan of care.
Personal Life: While I cherish my time interacting with my patients, I am thankful to enjoy a full and rewarding life outside of the office. I have been married to Josiah for almost a decade and we have two delightful young children. Having the young children means that at this stage in my life my reading material includes articles from Journal of the American Medical Association, as well as children books such as Fox in Sox, The Pokey Little Puppy, and The Pout Pout Fish.

Client Reviews
Lanette H.
Andrea is wonderful. I have had the KPS Anti-aging Facial and a HydraFacial multiple times with her and she has always taken the time to explain each step and how they work to help renew or heal your skin. Andrea is the best!
Jamie
I have tried both Botox and Xeomin with wonderful results, however, I was far more satisfied with Xeomin. The results I got from Xeomin peaked within 4-5 days vs. 10-14 days with Botox. I also noticed Xeomin resolved all of my deep wrinkles where botox only improved them. I was extremely satisfied with my results and also with Andrea. She did such a wonderful job!!!
Heather
Having BBL and the following Botox has absolutely changed my appearance. It took years off of my face along with giving me back a sense of confidence and loving what I see in the mirror. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem like enough to say about Andrea and the services she offers!
Nichole
I have gone to several places for lip filler, and nothing compares to Andrea’s at PremierMD+! She is so precise in her detail & truly caters to the look your want. I am absolutely in love with my lips. They look natural & full. She is truly a hidden gem!
Sidney
Received a hydrafacial, and I was super pleased with the results! Staff is super amazing!!
Kris
I came to Premier MD after traveling to GR for many years for my skin ‘maintenance’. I live on the lakeshore but was hesitant to try someone new. From the moment I met Andrea, I was so impressed with her knowledge, her kindness, and overall expertise! The skincare treatment was the best I’ve ever received! I’m so glad I decided to try somewhere new. Andrea is wonderful and the staff is great too.
Meghan
I’m so thankful for Andrea and PremierMD! I LOVE my results from botox and the way I look. I feel so much more confident and like looking younger! I am hooked and will be coming back again and again! Thank you, Andrea!
Darci
I had botox and laser treatments with Andrea Vanbeek with excellent results. She explained the procedures to me in detail. She is a great, professional, and kind person. Excellent work – would not go anywhere else!
Marilyn
Wonderful place and wonderful people. I had a relaxing KPS facial last week, it felt so good and my face just glowed afterwards. They really spend time with you and explain what they are doing. I will definitely go back. They offer a great variety of physician services. I would highly recommend checking them out, a very nice facility.
Mary Beth
Foot Detox was AMAZING! My feet feel great and really affected the rest of my body positively! The sauna brought peace and total relaxation. I will return!
Heather
Dr. Wilson is a true gem. He spent close to an hour listening and discussing my concerns. He sincerely seemed like he cared and was very welcoming to my desire for Eastern approach before trying all Western methods. I honestly can say I will never go to another doctor as long as Dr. Wilson is within reach. The office staff from the inviting and professional front receptionist to the compassionate medical staff where all top notch as well. Not to mention the beautiful facility.
Crystal
Heather Burnside is great. She truly cares about her clients. Recently went in for botox. The office is beautiful & they fit me in quickly for a last minute appointment. I recommend.
Robyn
I have been coming to PremierMD for quite some time for aesthetic services from the time I walk in I am met with nothing but a professional staff and a warm inviting environment. Andrea who provides the services is top of the line professional, informative, and thorough always making sure I am happy and all needs are met. I would never go anywhere else for my services.
Jennifer
No one likes starting to look old! So when the lines around my eyes started being too much I called Premier MD. I met with Andrea and she has been a Godsend to me. She talks over what to do and try. She has not only made me look younger but confident in my looks as well. Thanks, Andrea!!
