Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Top notch
Dr. Frachtmann is warm, friendly, professional and has great recall of our various routine checkup results and discussions over the past 20 years. He is always thorough and spends as much time as is needed to comprehensively discuss as needed. I could not be happier with him as a doctor and as a very kind human being.

Gastroenterology at its best
My waiting time was just a few minutes and the associates were friendly , knowledgeable, and very professional. Dr. Frachtman was his usual articulate and professional self, covering several of my concerns backed with the latest medical science pertinent to my conditions. These were both helpful and informative to my health concerns in going forward.

Good appointment, very knowledgeable
I can't give 5 stars because this was only a consultation. I thought Dr. Frachtman was very personable, explained everything very well, and very knowledgeable. I had some questions after an endoscopy and colonoscopy by a different doctor and I feel like I have total confidence in Dr. Frachtman.

Empathetic, knowledgeable and thorough
Dr. Frachtman truly listens and responds to all of my questions and concerns in a professional, thoughtful and straightforward manner. I always feel comfortable in discussing my most personal concerns with him. He has been my gastroenterologist for over fifteen years, and he has performed the three colonoscopies I have had (always explaining the procedures and the findings clearly). Dr. Frachtman truly cares about his patient’s well-being.
