About
Dr. Gregory Stempky earned his medical degree from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his Family Medicine residency through a joint program between the United States Air Force and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. His Air Force service concluded at Special Operations Command in Tampa, Florida, after which he returned to Michigan with his family. He has practiced in West Michigan continuously since 2003, accumulating over two decades of patient care experience.
Dr. Stempky holds board certification in Family Medicine through the ABFM and maintains active membership in the AAFP. Osteopathic medicine shaped his clinical worldview from the start. He believes structure and function are deeply connected, and that every lifestyle choice carries health consequences. That conviction led him naturally toward integrative medicine, blending prescription therapies, hormone replacement, nutritional guidance, and stress management into individualized treatment plans. He founded Foreward Health to practice on his own terms, spending real time with patients and building the kind of thorough, personal relationship he believes good medicine requires.
