Dr. Fr
Started telling me Generic treatment without asking me what I had already done. My injury happened 7 wks ago and I have been in bed most of the time. It has healed a good bit. But he was telling men for my type of injury I needed to wear a boot at least 8 wks. I have been thru the boot stage. I wanted him to tell me current condition. I wanted MRI (7/16) analysis and a prognosis of how much longer til I healed. I pressed him for this. He was in a hurry. Looked at his l watch 2 or 3 times anxiously even after just a couple of minutes. One would think he had some terribly pressing emergency, almost like there was a bomb ready to go off in the next room that he had to hurry up and go to defuse. However he was a very nice man, very pleasant. And I did finally find out what was wrong with my leg/heel -Achilles tendon.appt was 10 min maybe. Afterwords he called in a therapist type person to come explain exercise therapy. She was excellent.
He tells you everything that is going on and what comes next. Very straightforward and I like that
Very thorough
Dr. Frerichs is great! My first visit for my injury. He was very thorough and explained everything going forward.
Dr. Frerichs is both an exceptional doctor and person! It is always a pleasure to see him!
Dr very nice as usual and entire staff has great personalities.
Staff and Dr very professional!
He explained everything thoroughly. Seems to be a good doctor (first visit). The wait was long but probably because it was the first time here.
Very knowledgeable and explained the problem I was having in great detail. I am going to see him again
