About Olivia Crofoot

While her career path was originally pre-veterinarian science, Olivia Crofoot, PA, switched to medicine early on. “I realized I have a passion for helping others.”

She graduated from Western Michigan University where she earned her Bachelor of Science, majoring in Biomedicine, and also her Master of Science in Medicine, Physician Assistant Studies.

Olivia enjoys working in family medicine because of the opportunity to serve both ends of the age spectrum. “I get to treat a broad range/variety of conditions and develop relationships with my patients,” Olivia says.

Partnering with a person on their health journey is a gift and something she takes seriously. “I believe it is a privilege and honor to care for patients,” Olivia says. “By just being kind, you can make a big difference in someone else’s day.”
