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 care twice
Dr Frontiera was my oncologist when I had breast cancer five years ago. He was very supportive, positive, always listened and made time for me. When I was diagnosed with lymphoma, I was very happy that he was again my support. I was never worried, always knew he would do his best to help me beat this new challenge - and we did beat it! He is of course a competent, experienced oncologist - but just as important are his "bedside manners" - being warm, sincerely caring and a good listener. I always felt that I was part of a team, not just a passive patient. Of course the same is true of all the nurses and aides in this team. Dr F and I will both enjoy our grandchildren for years to come!

Dr. Frontiera is amazing. He delivers the news that you need to know. The words you have cancer is hard to hear but he gives you the information that help yo to be prepared. He genuinely cares about his patients and their families. I feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful doctor. Cancer and chemo is hard on everyone but knowing that your doctor is there to help guide you through the process is the best feeling!! ??

My name is Chris, I saw Dr. Frontiera for the first time on 3/14/16. If you were about to hear possible life changing news....Dr. Frontiera is the doctor that has the demeanor, the gentleness, and the geniune concern to give you that news. Life can be hard. But if you need someone on your side he is the doctor. The entire staff was also caring, respectful, and made you feel comfortable. Please have no misgivings, and call and make that appt today.
