Dr. Frey has been wonderful in caring for my husband and myself. He is a great diagnostician and acts quickly to help us with many medical issues. He has helped me immensely in reducing the stress in my life especially in dealing with the complexity of specialists and hospitals. His staff is very efficient, helpful and kind.

It is great to have an understanding doctor when you are in pain and attentive as well while trying to find your problem by spending time with you. He helped guide us through our problem with concern to find an answer for us. He stayed in contact with us even when we went to other doctors to correct our problem. Thanks, Dr. Frey for your help in making life better.

Dr. Frey is truly sincere regarding the health of his patients. I could not ask for a more sincerely concerned, caring, professional primary care physician than Dr. James Frey. I truly consider him a friend as well as my doctor. Many people do not look forward to going to see their doctor. I look forward to my visits with Dr. Frey.
