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.

Honestly, she was very kind and I didn't really enjoy visiting her for an annual physical. I was looking for a new PCP, and she definitely did not check any of my boxes. I work in the medical field and understand patient and provider communication, and I didn't like my experience.

Did not seem to do a thorough review of my medical history/lab work. Offered follow-up tests that should have been ordered as a part of my annual exam (was told "not covered", so why order later at subsequent visit? Would pay if not cover). Bone density, vitamin D, and thyroid functioning should all be a part of a women's annual wellness/preventive exam, regardless of age. Standard needs to be challenged and changed. That was my experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fruth's for over 3 years. I find her to be a great provider. She takes the time at each visit to really listen to what I have to say and is responsive to my concerns and questions. She is skilled in many areas and saves me time and money by treating conditions for which other primary care doctors have sent me to specialists. She treats the whole person, medical, mental and physical. She politely points out things I can do to help myself, such as losing weight.

I really like Dr. Fruth. She is very knowledgeable. Being a busy doctor, she always has time to answer all my question. She is always friendly and smiley, too, like she never gets tired :)

If I could give her zero stars, I would; one star is far too generous for my experience with her. She ignores what the patient says and refuses to listen.
