Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful care
Dr. Friessen is a great doctor. He takes the time to listen and explain things as needed. He did both of my knee replacement surgeries. I have also gone to him for other orthopedic issues, which he has helped with. Would recommend him for your orthopedic needs.

Outstanding care in small town Iowa
I could not be any happier than I am with Dr. Friessen. Scheduling is a breeze, you can get in on just a days notice, maybe less. His skills and techniques are outstanding, and his office manner is the best. He can be direct and to the point with just a tad bit of his dry humor thrown in. He is as informative as you can comprehend, and he has great insight into underlying issues. My recent surgery went flawlessly and I honestly feel that his work is among the very best. I am recovering far more rapidly than I expected and my pain management has been well thought out. Dr Friessen and his staff are there for you and make you feel very well cared for. It's been a great experience I look forward to his continued care.
