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.

The BEST
If I could give him 20 stars, I would! Seriously the BEST and most professional doctor I have seen in my +13 years of living in the tristate area. Dr. Fricke takes the time to work with you on any injury, pain, or general maintenance needed. He has been my acupuncturist for 3 marathons now. Each race, I ran faster than the last one with his care and attention. Thank you Dr. Fricke for being awesome.If you are thinking of booking an appointment, seriously do not wait... do not now!

I've been almost crippled with long term plantar fascitis and was under the care of another accupuncturist for over 8 months with close to no improvement. Dr. Frick took over at that practice and after only 3-4 visits I can say I have seen more improvement in those visits than I had in the prior 8 months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - I'm getting my life back.

My son has congenital torticollis that failed to respond to physical therapy, occupational therapy, stretching, and and taping. I approached Dr. Fricke after trying all of those treatments. As a pediatrician, I carefully reviewed the options of different acupuncturists. Dr. Fricke was my choice despite that he is not in our insurance plan. Within the first month, I noticed much improvement. Dr. Fricke also has wonderful bedside manner. Our young son is not afraid of him. We are so appreciative to have Dr. Fricke for our son.

He takes his time to understand your condition and is very knowledgeable. I drive from Pennsylvania to see him because of his expertise. I have been seeing him on and off for various issues as needed and will continue to do so.

Dr Fricke is one of the most dedicated, compassionate and knowledgeable healers I have ever met. He listens closely and responds with interest and engagement, recognises the individuality of every patient, and has never been complacent in his efforts to find effective approaches to treat my complex, frustrating chronic issues. He has been of immeasurable assistance in my quest to improve my health and quality of life. I feel fortunate to have such a provider and recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Walter is a great doctor. He's been treating my migraine headaches, joints and back for a few years and the improvement has been terrific. He is also very professional and friendly. I highly recommended him!
