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.

Phenomenal Experience
I visited Dr. Free in the fall of 2022. My wait times were short, never more than 10 minutes. The office staff was always very nice. Dr. Free was professional, clear in explaining that my sleep study proved that I had sleep apnea. I was presented with treatment plans and even had a sense of humor, which always helps to make you feel more comfortable when visiting a doctor. His assistant was also equally pleasant during each visit. Now it's June 2024, and I'm pleased to say that I am getting peaceful rest at night! I wake up without the headaches and feeling exhausted. I have more energy, the brain fog has lifted & I'm working out again. If you want competent attentive care, Dr. Free is your guy, so make your appointment ASAP if you want relief!

Nodules on Thyroid
I walked through the journey of wondering if I had throat cancer. Along with me was Dr. Free and his professional and caring support. Thank the Lord, all is well. Dr. Free is a straight shooter but in the best of ways. He’s highly recommended by me. —D. Coram

Excellent visit and care from Dr. Free
Went in for sinus pressure and pain as well as a pulsing ring in my right ear (main concern). Dr. Free was very engaged during my entire examination. His thoughts on my situation were well explained and I felt like he really cares! His preliminary diagnosis, treatment plan, and follow up recommendations all made sense. Overall, Dr. Fred’s demeanor was excellent.

In my opinion, Dr. Free is a great doctor. He takes time to listen and is very caring. The office is very clean and the rules of social distancing, at a time like this, were followed. I felt very comfortable at the office. The office staff was friendly and professional. Great experience.
