Friendship happens in a special moment when someone takes the time to reach out and comfort others by showing compassion, trust, and hope that no one else can make happen. I want to thank you for giving me your friendship. It has always been a treasure. Thank you for helping me be the best me I can be. My life is so much better with you as my friend and my doctor.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Frey
I was a patient of Dr. Freys before he joined MDVIP. He is the same caring, kind, loving, intelligent doctor and man he was prior to becoming a MDVIP doc. He always acts like each patient is his only one. He has been there for me when I was losing my husband, when my health was deteriorating due to stress - and his office staff set up extra time for our visits. Thankfully my husband got… See more
My husband David and I have been patients of Dr.Frey and his staff for a number of years. This came about as a result of a serious health issue and lack of assistance from our Dr. at that time. We made it threw this bad experience and committed ourselves to finding a Dr. and staff that we felt confident would be interested in our health and would be there for us when we needed them.We talked… See more
Dr James Frey was recommended to me in 2013 after my internist closed his practice. I had an introductory meeting with me and he is the very best internist I have ever had. I absolutely enjoy my office visits with him because it has taken time to set down with a doctor who is never in a hurry. I also appreciate the ability to call him after hours when needed. He is concerned about every… See more
In these turbulent times in which we live, it's a relief knowing Dr. James Frey is constant! He demonstrates his interest & concern in my well being with his research & proactive approach.

Dr Frey listens to my concern and issues like no other doctor I've ever seen. He is compassionate and caring but more important he is knowledgeable. He explains the choices he is making in my medications and my plan of care so that I can understand and more fully participate in my care.
I love Dr FREY because he listens and makes you feel like a friend. You feel as though he truly cares. He takes time to know you and it make you trust him.
I HAVE BEEN WITH DR. FREY FOR MANY YEARS AND MANY MEDICAL PROBLEMS. HE IS AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING HE CANNOT TREAT, HE WILL SEND ME TO THE BEST DOCTOR IN THE FIELD. HE IS SOMEONE I OR MY WIFE CAN TALK TO ABOUT ANY ISSUE OR PROBLEM I HAVE OR ABOUT ANY OF MY CONCERNS. HE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO HIRE GREAT PEOPLE.
Dr James Frey is my MDVIP doctor, My husband John Harris is also a patient.

We have been with him for quite a while and feel he is an awesome Dr… See more
