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.

Dr. Froines quite literally saved my life when I was dealing with stage 4 cancer. His willingness to go the distance in a long, complicated surgery made all the difference. I'm still cancer free over a decade later and it's all thanks to him.

Dr. Froines performed my Diverticulitis resection. He did an excellent job and I always felt like I was in great hands. I would recommend Dr. Froines to anyone looking for excellent care.

I had a hematoma 5 days after bilateral mastectomy surgery peformed by someone else. Dr. Froines was the surgeon on call that night and was very reassuring and calming. Great bedside manner, and immediately put me at ease about needing to go in and drain the hematoma, talked openly and directly to me and surgery was quick and didn’t even have bruising. I would recommend him.

I almost died in his care and I hope other families will think twice going to this doctor. He was careless and his vacation was worth more than my life. I’m still having nightmares from his actions and I hope that other families will get a second opinion when going to him for a surgery of any kind.
