Because of my husband's profession, we have been moved many many times -- in each place finding all new doctors for our children and ourselves. Of all the physicians I have seen, Dr. Freint is the best listener, as well as the best in explaining conditions & treatments throughly. He is compassionate, intelligent, and cares about his patients. Moreover, his staff is also outstanding.

The staff is extremely unprofessional and rude. This doctor does not know what he is doing and does not explain anything to you. He messed up a procedure and left permanent damage that is beyond painful. I wouldn't wish this horrible experience on my worst enemy. He should not be able to practice.

Dr. Freint was recommended by another doctor that I respect. It was a great recommendation. Dr. Freint has proved over two years to be careful and knowledgeable. He has helped my hearing issues and made very good recommendations on how to deal with it.

Dr. Freint took out the tonsils/adenoids of all 3 of our sons. Not only was he extremely professional and kind, but compassionate and really took the time to make our sons and us feel as though we understood and felt comfortable with what he would be doing. From his wonderful nurse, Bronda, all the way down to the post-op visit, this was a top-notch experience and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best you can find in a Pediatric Otolaryngologist!!
