This doctor is a fraud. He misdiagnosed me after four days in Barrow Neurological Hospital. Said nothing was wrong, despite hideous dizziness. Gave me two prescriptions to get rid of me. Turns out it was an inner ear infection, which he never checked for. Thanks to Dr. Frey, I had significant hearing loss. Apparently, some people think he is God, but you should know the truth. He is the Devil. Do not risk your health with this idiot.

Dr. Frey is excellent, one of the best. Sometimes the wait time is excessive, but he spends the time he needs to with each patient, so we wait. He's worth it.
