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.

I chose Dr. Fricke after several recommendations of people who had their colonoscopy with him. I am glad I took their advice. He was great for the preprocedure appointment. He took time to explain and address concerns. He was also a friendly man and to top it off, he does not order the gallon jug for cleanse but a much smaller cleanse drink. Good for people like me that gag.

Very bad! He prescribed me to take pevacid (Lansoprazole) 30mg twice a day for approx. 10 years. Dr. Fricke told me I just had a small hiatal hernia in my esophagus, no big deal. He didn't tell me of the side effects of this medication and that it would cause bone loss. Dr. Fricke wrote me off after realizing that there was nothing else he could do. I went to Dr. VonFeldman and he found a 6 centimeter hernia and Dr. Murray took care of me. I am no longer on meds because I went to Dr. Murray!
