Dr. John Lindley Frerichs, MD

Appt was at 1pm. Nurse rudely told me not to be late and to arrive by 12:30. I showed up at 12:15 to find a not taped to their door that read "Our door will open at 1pm thank you". Dr. entered exam room at 1:45 and I left the exam room to head to scheduling at 1:53 if that gives you any idea about how much time he spent with me. Was sarcastic and rude, not at all compassionate or caring about my situation. Did not discuss the pros or cons of surgery, only asked me to sign the consent form and showed me to his nurse to set up the appointment. Despite having severe and frequent gallbladder attacks my surgery was scheduled for 3 weeks out. I wasn't given an option to have the surgery anywhere but the fancy Audobon center, which YOU pay for through a facility fee. When I got home I spoke with my regular physician who was outraged at my crappy treatment and advised me to see someone else. I gave this physician a 2 star rating for Follows Up After Visit because instead of making sure… I got a 7 day post op appointment the nurse stretched it out to 13 days saying "that should still be ok". Avoid Colorado Surgical Associates, they just want your money. You should feel good about who is slicing into your belly. Go to North Surgical instead. I'm writing this review on all of the physicians in this practice because what one does reflects on all of them. Based on the other reviews it sounds like my experience is the norm here anyway. Maybe if their wallets get hit Colorado Surgical will get back to patient CARE.

Dr. Frerichs did a whipple on my Dad. Fabulous Dr. We were lucky and blessed to have him as a Dr. and skilled surgeon. He is kind, caring and takes care of his patients as well as family members. Colorado Springs is lucky to have him!!!!! Thank you Dr. for making a hellish situation better.

Dr. Freirich was a blessing sent to me at such a horrible time of my life. I was so scared of my surgery(s) but he spent alot of time with me and my family assuring us that everything was going to be ok. His compassion is incredible, his knowledge is amazing and his personality is very likeable. Not many Dr's will take the time he did through the many office visits and then on rounds at the hospital. Colorado Springs is truely lucky to have him. Thank you Dr. Freirich!!!

Dr. Frerichs is an awesome doctor... He takes his time with you and explains everything in detail...Couldn't ask for anything better!!!

I liked Dr. Frerichs the first time I met him. He takes the time to explain what the surgical procedure will be like and he is easy to talk to. He's young and knows his stuff!
