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. Frederick is thorough, kind and efficient! He offers a discussion of treatment options and guides me through possible next steps. I never feel hurried when seeing him for an appointment.I always feel that I have come away with the highest quality of care. His back office assistant is super!

Excellent patient centered care
Sought his opinion for knee pain and appreciated his patient centered approach to care as I would like to avoid a knee replacement if possible. I left with an excellent plan of care and some further diagnostic testing.

Quality care
Today was a post-surgical visit. The ACL surgery & follow-up care have gone as well as expected. My son should be back to playing HS sports on schedule.
