Theresa Fryer has been terrific. She helped me figure out what my health issue was and immediately started treating. The office staff is normally friendly but there is one that never smiles or says much which could make people think she doesn't care. I would refer Dr. Fryer to anyone

I had been a patient of Dr. Fryer's, 10 years previously. The person helping me make an appointment was a bit harsh, and just wanted to recite the rules, i.e. I would now need a new referral, would need records from whatever doctors I was currently seeing, my address, phone number and medical cards. All this was understandable, of course, but her manner was to rush me off the phone. Not a good first experience. Made me want to look for another practice.
