Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Clear and Comforting
Dr. Froelich asked many questions about my pain and assessed my reaction while he expertly moved and palpated my hands. Before surgery he again confirmed that I knew exactly what the surgery would entail. In the follow-up he clearly explained next steps and the pathway to full recovery and return to the activities I live.

Empathetic and Knowledgeable
Dr Froelich really listened to me when I explained the pain I was experiencing in my left thumb and right hand. Cortisone shots in the affected areas did the trick and I’m back doing the things I love!

Thumb and hand pain resolved! – Nov 28, 2024

Great surgeon!
Dr. Froelich performed extensive Dupuytren's contracture surgery on my left hand earlier this year. He discussed the procedure, reviewed the risks and benefits, and the surgery was very successful. I plan to have a similar surgery done on my right hand soon, and I would highly recommend him for as a Surgeon.

Great Doc
Dr. Froelich took plenty of time to check my current condition (new xrays, new exam). He reiterated my current and long term options, then did multiple cortisone injections (very skillfully = very little pain) which are working VERY well. Thank you-

Wonderful
Dr. Froelich took time to explain the situation, options, and why he was recommending the procedure he did. He got surgery scheduled quickly and everything went so smoothly -- he was very kind and thorough at the post-op.

Kind, communicative and very talented surgeon
Dr. Froelich presented the options to me very clearly so I can make a decision for myself and answered every question along the way surgery was done so expertly that I had very little pain in my finger afterward and my recovery has been smooth.

He knew what was wrong with my finger immediately--and this was a telehealth appt! He told me the treatment as well as the outcome percentages. I felt very informed about my mysterious pain and am planning his suggested treatment.

10 Star Experience
I saw Dr. Froelich today for a thumb injury. After X-rays and consult a steroid injection was considered, but he advised to simply try a splint for 2-3 weeks, then see how the symptoms were. He took time, explained things very well and I appreciated his advice and care. I would highly recommend Dr. Froelich.
