Dr. Freeman is a great doctor and caring. He is great about explaining procedures and even showing pictures. He and his staff really care about their patients and treat us with the utmost of care.
Dr. Freeman was very professional, also patient as he carefully answered my many questions! He was encouraging and expressed confidence in the progress of my healing to this point! I will always be grateful to him for the surgery he performed on my broken femur!
I saw Erin Burr. She was professional, friendly, answered questions, gave me a shot in knee - didn't hurt. If, when I need another visit, shot, I would like to go to Erin.
Dr. Freeman did an excellent job of explaining my issue and how to fix it.
Great guy. He's going to operate on my arm (torn tendon). Inspired confidence with his analysis and explanation.
Dr. Freeman listens well and tackles the problem with a solid plan. Great personality too!
Dr freeman, put two screws on My Son hip. That surgery went so smooth,a week after surgery my son is doing pretty well and healthy again.I’ll always recommend him to Family and friends that needs this type of surgery done.
Great Dr.
This visit I didn't even see him. I saw his ra or assistant. She even gave me my treatment. I haven't been to a doctor in a while to understand if this is common practice now a days.
Very professional and approachable. Was confident in his diagnosis and gave numerous plans of action all while not sounding “too smart” for me as his patient. Thanks Doc.
