After 4 surgeries and 5 hospitalizations in just a few month time period, I can honestly say that Dr. Fruin saved my life. His knowledge and expertise not only resulted in successful outcomes every time, he was key in diagnosing additional, underlying ailments. He has incredible patience and follow through and I couldn't ask for a more helpful staff.

Excellent skills however that doesn't matter if the doctor thinks that the patient is not american. Very bad bedside manner. No knocking on the door, exam is leass than 15 seconds, and finally have an attitude if you have a question. AVOID HIM IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE

Dr. Fruin Is the best. After 2 previous surgeries, I feel like I would have died if I had gotten any other docter other than Dr. Fruin. He is the first doctor I have ever had that I felt like actually cared about what happened to me.

When faced with a life threatening situation - fear, questions, trust, uncertainty - all sorts of things flood your mind. Dr. Fruin was recommended by a trusted friend, now He is one! He calmed my feats, answered all my questions both then and now and gave me faith that a bad situation could turn out good. He is professional in every way, from diagnosising to procedure. He has treated me with utmost care and respect and a great deal of medical "know-how"! I'm so thankful for him and the talents and skills he is so blessed with. I pray he continues to save more lives like he did mine.

If I could give him more than 4 stars I would. I had several (4) interventions provided by Dr. Fruin over the period of 5 months, from diagnosis, proper care/orders in several hospital admissions to having to have surgery. We tried to avoid it, but it was the only way to solve the problems/issues. I would trust him with my life again. He provided #1 surgical care/services. He is very kind, knowledgeable and cares for his patients and their outcome. He was willing to stay in the office as long as I had questions, he explained everything and was concerned that I knew what was going to happen. (this comes from someone who works in a hospital and knows good quality care when she gets it)Thank you Dr, Fruin
