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.

Highly recommend Dr. Frese: He is friendly, caring, listens for understanding,and professional

Highly Recommend
I have been going to Dr. Frese for many years. He has always been courteous, informative and open to questions and concerns. Visits are followed up with personal phone calls to explain blood work or imaging results. Highly recommend.

Great Dr. Great practice
Dr frese is always wonderful but what really stood out on this trip was how hard the front desk supervisor worked to get me a ride home. I was stranded.

Amazing physician caring really shows up.
Dr. Frese is kind and caring. He took time and contacted me for days after my visit to check up on me and make sure I was okay. He’s totally devoted and shows true concern. A++ physician.

Honestly one of the worst MDS out there. Very rude and disrespectful. Talks over you and feels like he is bothered by your presence. I would never recommend him to anyone. I know multiple people who have seen him and said the same comments. Why would a cooperation like ctgi even keep this guy employed?

Scary how little he and his partners know, refuses to learn new science, is condescending and based his dx on information never provided to him.

Since the practice took the ability rate the doctors away on facebook , no choice but to add one here. Uncaring and his lack of knowledge is disturbing. If he can not find a real diagnoses, he will diagnose you with a disorder many believe is bogus. ??misses a real dx ....makes one up and the patient suffers. Do not go here. Avoid at all costs. Any physician who hides their ratings has something to hide. .

Out of all the Doctors i have gone to Dr. Frese is the most concerned Dr for his patients. He has always called me directly on any of my conditions. His staff are very professional and caring. He is very through and i would recommend him highly. Can't say enough good things about him.
