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.

He is a good listener and explains everything.
Friendly office staff Dr. Is on time. No waiting, and your phone calls are returned.

My mother passed away recently at age 93. Dr. Freitag cared for her for many years. She loved him and his staff too (especially Sonya). His is kind and patient and I think truly cares about his patients. He and his office staff listen and are helpful to make sure their patients get the care they need. I would definitely recommend him if you are in need of a good doctor.

I have been with Dr. Freitag for about 12 years. He started out in his own practice; then joined the Eisenhower Group. His diagnosis is almost 100%! He was more relaxed before he joined this Group, but still a great doctor and he listens. He is compassionate and shows it. Thank you Dr. for all the good years.

Dr. FRIETAG IS WONDERFUL. IT'S HIS FRONT DESK THAT NEEDS TO BE FIRED. I HAD an appointment but, apparently my appointment was later in the day than I thought. I went into the office and the receptionist told me i had an appointment later on in the day. No one was in the waiting room. Noone. I said i just need a prescription, she said he was fully booked. But, noone is in the waiting room. She wouldn't even check and see if doctor would let me slip in . She refused to help me. I drove 3 hours to get to that appointment to be on time although I was way too early.I wasn't going to put up with her attitude. I canceled my appointment that was later on that day, now he wasn't fully booked anymore ! I was so angry , but, she could care less. No empathy for the Doctors patient. Doctor Should get rid of her immediately. My appointment would have been complete in 5 minutes or less. Very very unhappy .

If you’re looking for a doctor that does the bare minimum, you’re in the right place! My mother who is approaching 80 years old has chronic back pain and without doing one x-ray has determined her medical condition! When you take an x-ray and and find something, you have to do something about it. This doctor works great with insurance companies. However if you were looking for a doctor that will give you or your family the care they deserve you’re in the wrong place!

My family has been going to Dr. Freitag for over 20 years. He and had office staff are fantastic! We can get an appointment quickly, minimal waiting, and Dr. Freitag is caring and thorough. He takes time to answer questions. I had surgery by another doctor and his nurse called to check in me.
