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. Friefeld is AMAZING!

Wow!
Dr. Friefeld is EXCELLENT!! Remembered my health history without even looking at my chart. I know he looked at my chart, but he remembered general, feel good stories about me that would have never been written on the chart. The visit was almost having a cup of coffee with a long-time friend than a medical appointment. Of course, he pointed out areas to monitor. He made me feel like a person, not the next appointment. It's been that way for many years. Staff was super professional and courteous. He did a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy on me early 2021 – would definitely recommend – down time was almost only the day of the surgery. I was answering emails and phone calls when I got home that evening. Never experienced any complications. As a business owner, I cannot deal with down time.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Friefeld for over 27 years my two daughters have their babies with him and now my granddaughter is a patient of his. He is a wonderful patient advocate and spends all the time that you need answers all questions . As for th people complaining about waiting an hour apparently they have never been to a Hispanic Dr’s Office where you make an appointment for 9 am and get to see the doctor around noon if you are lucky

If you want a doctor with years of experience and the latest technology, Dr. Friefeld is your guy. But if you want a doctor who's personable, open to talking with you at length, and office visits that don't routinely exceed an hour wait in the lobby, then I would recommend you look elsewhere.
