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.

kind, professional and takes the time to listen.
very little waiting, staff is supportive and friendly. you don't leave until all your questions are answered. also they do their best to work with your schedule. At one point the insurance was an issue (surprise), so I did go to another doctor he is okay, but it just wasn't the same. So as soon as I could I switched back and for my mom too.

Wonderful Ophthalmologist
Consummate medical professional. I have struggled with a misdiagnosed eye condition for the past 3 years. First visit with Dr. Frochheimer, she arrived well versed with my history, listened, received a thorough eye exam. gently advised me I have a chronic condition, Sjogren’s Syndrome. Didn’t feel rushed. Clearly instructed about daily eye care, what to expect, visit concluded with the ‘Do I have any questions? With a follow up appointment in September. No more steroids! After 1 week of following Dr Fronenheimer’s instructions my eyes discharge is less, the pain is lower, the blurring decreasing. Dr. Frochheimer is a knowledgeable, thorough & caring ophthalmologist who I feel so lucky to have found.
