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.

No follow up after surgery, made several appointments and when arriving at office was turned away twice. Office staff not friendly or helpful.

Dr Fragen performed surgery on me for an acute abdominal abscess. Another doctor in my area was out of town. Dr Fragen went above and beyond to help me after he was called by the ER doctor. I'm truly appreciative for his much-needed help. He was kind, considerate, and highly skilled.
