Timothy L. Frerichs, M.D.

Dr Frerichs is a fine and caring physician! I rate him tops! He has gone out of his way to help me in treating problems and in helping me to gain and maintain better health. Referring me to fine professionals at Refine Physical therapists has made a great difference in my physical abilities. All of them working together has increased my capacity to lead a life style that belies my 87 years. I highly recommend Dr Frerichs and his team of professionals. I was also treated at the same group by Dr Clinton Howard, who successfully diagnosed my spinal problem and set the course for successful resolution!??????????

Dr. Freichs takes his time explaining everything in a way I can understand it

Long wait time - 2+ hours.

Very personal and informative.

Great doctor, great bedside manner

Very personable, knowledgeable, down to earth Doc. Excellent bedside manner. Good with kids and adults alike. Feel confident taking yourself or a loved one to this Doctor.

I love Dr. Frerich! The staff is friendly and caring. They go above and beyond taking care of his patients!

Dr. Frerichs provides care to his patients on the level you would receive at top rated hospitals in the country . This area is blessed to have such a highly qualified surgeon and caregiver readily available. Definitely one of the best bedside manners of any surgeon I’ve ever met, creating a positive healing atmosphere for his patients.

Great doctor very attentive to the patients needs

I’m pleased with Dr. Frerichs! Great personality and he really listens to what you have to say. My Rotator Cuff surgery was July 2020 and I’m healing and feeling better & better each day....

Very nice and great at what he does

Good visit overall . A 1 hour and 45 minute wait to go back to see Dr .... , worst part of that for me is having to listen to all the other patients in waiting room voice their frustrations about having to wait that long . Not such huge deal for me .. sometimes in life regardless of Dr. or group you are just gonna have to wait to see the Dr .

Great Sr, but awfully slow. No reason to spend an hour and a half for a 5 min encounter.

Love doctor Fredrick's very nice very honest

Friendly ,fast , professional

Awesome doctor. Very caring wonderful staff

My only question is why do you require patient to drive back to the office for appointment to get a verbal result for a test performed at Urgent Care? Why can’t this result be given over the phone? (Doppler test).

Dr Frerichs has been awesome, since my husband broke his ankle! He has always been honest with us, from the beginning, about every detail of my husbands injury! I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Frerichs and staff are true professionals with tons of knowledge. I highly recommend him. He did an excellent job with repairing my ruptured achilles.

He was very nice and the procedure didnt hurt near as bad as I thought it would. The only thing that could have been better would have been an idea of what to expect after more testing.

Was open to feedback and revised his initial diagnosis as a result.

Very nice Doctor and willing to go the extra mile to get me healed. Thank you.

Great Doctor.

Personable, doesn't make you feel rushed.

good bedside manner. He'd made his mind up about his diagnosis before he saw me and heard what happened in my accident. Just as constructive suggestion: listen more carefully to the patient before deciding what is wrong. Hope he was correct!

Thanks for treating me like a person instead of a number.

Thank you Dr. Frerichs an staff !

Everything was fine but he always seems a bit rushed. The office is like an assembly line. After care instructions not very clear. Did not get to speak to doctor after surgery.

Be on time. Hard to be the first patient of the day and take 30 minuets to be called back.

Very knowledgeable and tries all avenues to fix the problem.

Dr. Frerichs is a very compassionate, intelligent doctor. He explains everything in great detail. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Frerichs for making me feel like I’m your only patient.
