My family has been treated many times by Dr. Freeman over more than 20 years . My last visit was on Wednesday. The office staff was excellent. I was seen after a very brief wait. Dr. Freeman was thorough and listened carefully and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Freeman for almost 20 years and his courtesy and kindness is amazing. He listens to your problem and treats you like family. Anytime I have had an issue his office gets me in the same day or the next day and the nurses and receptionist, are extraordinarily friendly. A fantastic practice if you need his specialty.
