Dr. Fruchter is a doctor that truly cares for his patients, not only medically but mentally. He takes time with each patient and makes sure the patient understand all before that patient leaves. He has never made me wait for an appointment and when I was seriously ill he made my appointments at the end of the day so that I was not amongst a lot of ill people that would make me exposed to other diseases. I have had to see specialist but I make sure that all reports go to Dr. Fruchter. His staff are just as kind. If you need to see him they do everything to get you in. Thank you Dr Fruchter for coming to Middletown and being the Dr that truly cares. I rated you a 5 because that was the highest number .... to our family you are a 10!

Dr. Fruchter is the best Dr. I have ever had...This statement should not be taken lightly. I have seen a number of very good physicians throughout my life , but Fruchter is by far the best. HE LISTENS to his patients. He takes the time to diagnose what your issue may be. He then takes his time EXPLAINING in detail why he may SUGGEST a certain course of action. He then allows YOU TO MAKE THE DECISION about your health. He is funny, has a quirky but excellent bedside manner, and is PASSIONATE about helping people. He has my highest recommendation.

This individual is more concerned with his opinion then that of his fellow colleagues. It's his way and not anyone else's . Not a team player.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Fruchtner since he came to town. He now is the Dr for my entire family. He is not only a 5 rated Dr. but also a Dr that takes care of his patient as people not only as a body part. He gets to know you and always knows what to say and how to say it. He does not rush you and answers all your question. By far, the best Dr. in town.
