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.

Love Dr. Frields. I had fibroids, high risk pregnancy and everything went well. Even my C-section was A-plus.

Everything about the care I have received as a patient of Dr. Fields has been top notch, professional and caring! Dr. Frields delivered my son 24 years ago, and has been an integral part of my overall health since!

22 years ago Dr. Frields took great care of my wife. On our first appointment he pin pointed the exact day our son would be born. During delivery the hospital took great care of us.

Unprofessional desk staff. I called to schedule an appointment to be seen by the doctor for the first time and simply inquired if I could be seen at an earlier date (as opposed to the date that was presented to me as an option which was almost 3 weeks out). The staff member reprimanded me and told me that I should have called in earlier. When I attempted to explain myself, she talked over me. And, when I continued to speak in a normal tone, she became even louder. She continued to reprimand me, and, in the end, I did not schedule the appointment. I am confused as to how people like this remain employed, especially in a field of work that requires such sensitivity.

Wonderful Doctor – Mar 15, 2021

I've been going to Dr. Frields office since 1992. Dr. Frields delivered my first baby, my son. He was gentle, thorough, non judgmental and above all attentive. His nurse Vicky has always been a sweetheart. She returns my calls within the same day and typically pretty quickly; answering any questions, concerns or doubts I may have. Linda is amazing as well and very soft spoken. Dr. Frields also delivered my two daughters. My kiddos are now 27, 26 and 19. I go to him for any issues that have arisen over the last 28 years. My eldest daughter has gone to him for her needs. We love Dr Frields!

I called to inquire about this doctor and which insurance he accepts. The receptionist was not helpful and said that this doctor doesn't handle high-risk pregnancies and that he has no referral for me.

Dr. Frields is a TRUE doctor. I come from a family of physicians and I can spot a medical professional who went in to the medical field because of a true calling. He is compassionate, caring, highly gifted and intelligent. I refuse to be seen by anyone except Dr. Frields. I have the upmost respect for him and wish we had more doctors like him. He delivered my daughter six years ago via C-section and he is so experienced and gifted I had the most easy recovery. The wait is always worth it.

Great experience with Dr. Frields. He delivered my sweet baby. So happy having him as my OBGYN. Awesome. Prepare to have a long wait in the office; however, it's worth it. He is an awesome doctor and super nice and knowledgable.

Dr. Frields is by far one of the best Doctors I have ever met! He has been my Dr. since 2009 and I will continue to be my Dr. until he retires. He is a no nonsense type of Dr. he is thorough and gets things done. I trust his judgement. His nurse Vicky is like no other! She calls when needed and returns calls almost immediately.

I have higher risk c-sections due to some complications I had as a result of my first c-section (which wasn't with Dr. Frields). I only trust Dr. Frields with delivering my babies! He does often have long wait times, but often it's because he's had to leave the office to deliver a baby.
