Dr. Frechette has been our GIM PCP for some time. We (my wife and I) are deeply appreciative of her easy-going nature that's always connected to superb listening, connection, and well-thought-out and reasoned care and plans-of-care. She always does her homework, knows us and our charts fully, and responds immediately to our concerns and to us as individuals.
