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.

Best provider ever!
Dr Fries and Becca are the most wonderful team I could have hopped for to treat my POTS. As a type 1 diabetic of 20 years, I am used to being told that any concerns or symptoms I have are likely related to diabetes. POTS is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Dr Fries and Becca are the first providers that validated my diagnosis and genuinely empathized with my story. Since seeing them, I have felt measurable improvements for the first time in 10 years and have control over my health again. They have supported me since my very first appointment and celebrate the small wins along the way. Sometimes the recognition and empathy for what you are feeling, is more important than the diagnosis itself. For POTS patients, this is an exceptionally invaluable gift.

Would have love to see him since he was recommended to me for my condition but he refuses to accept my insurance. Super disappointing that providers do this.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fries for over four years and have always had a wonderful experience. Dr. Fries takes as much time for me as I need, answers any questions that I may have, and has responded promptly over the years if I need to reach him.

Dr. Fries is not only extremely qualified, but he also has the ability to not only make a patient feel very relaxed, but also explains things completely and in terms that the patient can understand. You never feels as though he is in a hurry to get to the next patient but spends the time needed to not only explain, but also to listen and answer questions. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Fries as my Cardiologist.

Dr. Fries is the most compassionate and empathetic doctor I have ever been to. He spent so much time explaining my condition to me. I could go on and on about how thankful I am for him. I would highly recommend Dr. Fries, especially if you are a POTS patient.
