Many highlight successful experiences with hip and knee procedures, appreciating his detailed explanations and attentiveness to follow-up care, enhancing their quality of life.

So glad Dr. Froelich was recommended to me. My experience has been so much better than other knee patients from other doctors and other facilities that i am familiar with. My surgery was a little complicated and yet the outcome was better than i could ever imagine. Wish I had done it years earlier. Great doc.

Dr Froelich is an incredible orthopedic surgeon. He did my knee surgery 4 years ago and the process was smooth and very patient centered. He and his staff were very attentive, answered questions, and followed up on all issues. I highly recommend him.

I would give minus stars if I could. For my first visit,(I waited 3 months) he told my he "wouldn't touch me" because I have fibromyalgia. He didn't even examine my knee, he just stayed at the door like he was in a rush, and delivered this news. I was unable to walk because of the pain. Since then I've gone to another surgeon and am happily doing fantastic. Somehting is definitely wrong with him.
