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.

Caring and Helpful
Dr. Frey has been our Primary Care Provider for almost 4 years now. He takes great care and attention to detail, and knows and remembers your specific cases, and takes the time to listen to you and recommend ways to help. He really helped me deal with multiple ongoing concerns last year, and I am forever grateful!

Dr. Frey has been our family doctor for years. He takes time to address any concerns we have and is to the point. I don't feel rushed when I see him. His experience speaks for itself. I am blessed to have someone to trust for so many years. From in my teens, now into my 50's...My parents were treated by him and he's wonderful.

Dr. Frey treated my mother at an assisted living facility. My mom had excessive weigh loss. He pretty much diagnosed her with lung cancer because she smoked all her life. Ordered LDCT scan which he didn't code right, it was taking too long so I took her to e.r. she didn't have lung cancer, but she passed away yesterday from malnutrition! He was sure it was lung cancer and therefore thought that we should just let her starve to death. He should not be in this field! Awful Dr. Money is his oath
