So glad Dr. Froelich was recommended to me. My experience has been so much better than other knee patients from other doctors and other facilities that i am familiar with. My surgery was a little complicated and yet the outcome was better than i could ever imagine. Wish I had done it years earlier. Great doc.

Dr Froelich is an incredible orthopedic surgeon. He did my knee surgery 4 years ago and the process was smooth and very patient centered. He and his staff were very attentive, answered questions, and followed up on all issues. I highly recommend him.

I would give minus stars if I could. For my first visit,(I waited 3 months) he told my he "wouldn't touch me" because I have fibromyalgia. He didn't even examine my knee, he just stayed at the door like he was in a rush, and delivered this news. I was unable to walk because of the pain. Since then I've gone to another surgeon and am happily doing fantastic. Somehting is definitely wrong with him.
