Care Philosophy
I work collaboratively with my patients to understand their needs and symptoms, developing a treatment plan that works best for them.
Personal Statement
I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and am excited to care for patients in the community that I grew up in. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family and my four-legged companions, which includes a horse, dogs and cats.

I was very pleased with Kristi's visit. She came in, she was thorough, she was friendly, interesting to talk to about different questions I had, and I was fully confident that she was, you know, well educated in what in the questions that I had asked, and she had a very calming, relaxed demeanor about her. So I really liked her. Thank you.

I always thought this office really showed that they cared for the patients. I am very glad that I have switched to this from what my prior doctor was, and I am very pleased with this office and its staff.

Very friendly staff. Matter of fact, I got in early for my appointment and I was able to be seen right afterwards. Dr. Haapalainen was very professional, answered all questions and gave her follow-up report in a timely fashion. I would definitely recommend for anyone with heart conditions to see Kristi and Bellin Health and just a super experience. Thank you.

I was treated with kindness, concern and compassion. I was not kept waiting . When the doctor entered the room she put me at ease and treated me like a person, not a number. She took her time and I felt she really listened to me. Her staff was also great.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/3/2025
I immediately felt comfortable with Kristi. She is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She listened to and answered all my questions. Moving forward, I feel good about having her as my health care provider for my heart health. No one wants to have health concerns but when there are issues, it's comforting having someone you can trust in your corner.
