My experience here has been absolutely awful. Knowing that I had to borrow money to pay for my procedure, they still sent my labwork out of network, which placed even more of the costs directly on me. I wouldn't recommend this practice to anyone who lives on a budget. If you have unlimited funds, then by all means, please come here.

Dr. Freilich and his entire office stay were professional and very clear on instructions as well as findings. I always felt I could get an answer to all my questions. The procedure went smoothly without any issues at all. I feel extremely confident in telling others to feel comfortable with Dr. Frielich and his skills and care.

This was a procedure performed at Carolina Hospital. Nurses, anesthesiologist and Dr Freilich were all personable, approachable, extremely friendly and fun to be around. Frankly I remember clamping on a plastic oral insert and then waking up in the recovery room. All in accordance with plan.

Excellent practioner educated in outstanding institutions. Very thorough and does a great job at educating, spends a lot of time with you as does his nurse, Tiffany. Office staff very friendly and welcoming. Don't mind waiting for Dr. F as I know he'll spend as much time as I need. Have no hesitation in recommending

Before the work, he spelled out clearly what he was going to do. Afterword he clearly talked about how it went and what I do next.
