Not only were all of my concerns dismissed but it was very noticeable that Fred has a check list of order of treatment that he follows and is not an out of the box thinker.

I felt like I was being rushed in and out of his room as quickly as possible. He told me one test result, and then was ready to get me out of there without even letting me ask any questions. When I did ask questions, the responses felt very dismissive. It was essentially "You don't have to worry about that" without any description of why or what was actually going on.

Thorough exams and questioning and very clear resulting explanations
Jun-2023
He yawned while he took my history and didn’t let me finish my history. Told me to stop taking notes when he was telling me my plan of care. I had no support as I navigated the diagnosis of IBS. I was clueless how to determine my trigger foods and next steps of care. I would have rated him a zero if it was an option.

Mar-2023
I felt my concerns were not adequetly listened to. The medicine he recommended turned out to be the exact same one I already said had given me horrible diarrhea. I felt like he was not listening to me when I described my issues and kept trying to fit it into his preconceived ideas of what was wrong, and I really felt like I was being mansplained to and blamed for my condition even though I explained that I was already taking all of the measures. All in all it felt like a waste of time and money.
Mar-2023
Very informative
Feb-2023
Gave me pros and cons of getting colonoscopy and then I decided to get it and lets just say I am forever grateful it was done.

Oct-2022
He’s very knowledgeable and he presents things in a way you can understand.
Oct-2022
Patient, thorough, kind, punctual, respectful of my wishes, reassuring by setting up a followup
Oct-2022
Fred considers himself to be just as good or belter than an actual doctor. Will not listen fully to patients and thinks everything he says is gospel. His recommendations went against every issue I have that is being treated by actual specialist physicians. It is clear he does not do his homework and does not care about anything but his own opinion. If he took 2-minutes to read my chart, he would understand that what he is recommending to do will do more harm than good. I am absolutely disgusted with Fred and will not EVER return to him!!! I will be seeking further guidance as to have Fred's qualifications / capabilities be put under review because is was trying to harm me. Him and Huron Gastro should be ashamed for letting this sort of practice continue!!!
Oct-2022

I am very appreciative that I was able to be fit in for this visit.
