Dr Frey has operated on my two year old son about 4 years ago. My son was very sick and I was so worried. She saved his life and I will forever and always will be grateful to her!! I wish that woman well every single day ever since.

Dr. Frey was amazing to my son and to my family. She helped us understand my son's surgery. She always showed genuine concern and a willingness to help us understand and be a part of the process. I highly recommend Dr. Frey. We feel so blessed to have found her. My son is now playing basketball and enjoying a normal teenage life. He is feeling confident. It is so heartwarming to see your child feeling happy and excited to be alive. Thank you Dr. Frey!

Upon meeting Doctor Frey at the consult visit for my 3 1/2 year old son, I was highly impressed, not only by her confidence and sophistication (which every surgeon should exude), but the immediate warmth and ease that can only come from a doctor who really does care about her patients. She took the time to answer all of my questions, without making me feel rushed, and engaged my son in discussion (many docs act like he's not even in the room). Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Frey.

We appreciate the personalized attention we receive, rather than feeling like a number or a disease.

As the mother of 6 children, including two special needs and 4 preemies, I have had a good deal of experience with doctors and even surgeons. This lady is the exception to every negative thing I have ever experienced in the medical community. She is bright, positive, encouraging, energetic, available and PRESENT! A respected surgeon and a trusted friend from the moment that you meet her. Her smile is contagious and I truly believe that her attitude has as much to do with her patients well being as her talents as a surgeon, though from my experience, those are top notch too. You can not go wrong with Dr. Frey. She will lift your spirits,calm your fears, explain your child's problem to you and to your child. This lady is a true gem and a major credit to her profession.
