Meet Your Physician
Dedicated to unhurried, comprehensive care, Dr. DeHaan founded Trailhead DPC to restore the direct doctor-patient relationship, and to break free from traditional healthcare constraints. The focus is on your wellness, not the clock.
After years navigating corporate healthcare, Dr. DeHaan envisioned a practice where trust and accessibility redefine patient care. Trailhead DPC emerged from a commitment to serve patients better, directly.
Healthcare is a partnership, where the provider has adequate time to listen, understand, and collaborate with you on a personalized wellness journey that truly fits your life and needs.
Years in Practice
I grew up in Southeast MI, Monroe. I then attended Western Michigan University where I received my B.S. degree in Biomedical Sciences, with minors in Chemistry and French, while also participating as varsity athlete on the Cross Country and Track team for 4 years. I met my husband Joel while in Kalamazoo. We moved to Lansing where I completed my Osteopathic Medical Degree through MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. We moved to Traverse City and spent 3 years "up north" for residency training. In 2014, my family and I moved to South Haven MI, where I started work at a small clinic in Bangor, MI. I have spent the last 12 years getting to know, and care for many people in this area, and many have come to feel like family. We have been very involved in this community, with 3 children in the local schools, attending a church here and developing deep friendships. I am so excited to be able to start this next phase, bringing care in a "new way" to the people in and around South Haven; and continue to help support health and wellness in this community that has become my home.
Board certified AOBFP
I am Board Certified with the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians, for which I maintain continuing medical education to keep my knowledge of medical conditions and recommendations up to date. This certification also include specialized training in Osteopathic Manual Manipulation (OMT) which allows me to provide care for patients in a hands-on way, using gentle stretching, pressure and resistance on muscles and joints to diagnose and treat illness. This approach treats the body as an interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones, engaging the natural healing design of the body, using gentle touch. OMT is used for a variety of medical conditions from back pain, to headaches to sinus pressure, digestive issues and breathing problems.
