Excellent
Dr Freilich is always on top of my case and gives me a clear explanation of my medical needs in a clear and understandable way
To the point Dr. Like that
Excellent doctor, very thorough and professional.
Very attentive
Although I just came for a second opinion, I am so confident in his opinion that I am switching from my doctor of four years to Dr. Frelich.
Took forever to see me
Very accommodating. I am a fairly new patient that had laser for torn retinas. I had concerns today and called and they took me within an hour. The doctor rechecked my eye and was very assuring and is having me come in for a follow up to keep an eye on it.
Very friendly atmosphere.
In and out on schedule; excellent professional staff. Dr. Freilich is efficient and provides honest good feedback; he will tell you what he thinks.
