About

Philosophy of Care

I chose to become a doctor because I like people and problem solving. The most rewarding thing to me is the opportunity to serve people in a personal and meaningful way. Medicine was the obvious choice. As a doctor, my goal for my patients is to have them understand their role in the healing process and feel comfortable asking for help when they need it. I want everyone I care for to know they have access to me, not a voice messaging system.

Dr. Fredline is an amazing provider and surgeon. He took such great care of my mother and kept me up to date with all changes and prognosis. I have worked in healthcare for 30 years, and is possibly the most personable surgeon I have ever encountered. He changed the world for my mother and me by performing this surgery. No amount of thanks could ever be enough.

08/22/2023

Just unprofessional and lack of respect for others. He should not be allowed to ask customer’s about their legal status ultimately if he does not want to provide services to someone he should turn them away.

06/17/2022

This was a follow-up appointment from my gall bladder surgery on [date]. Asked how I was feeling, looked at incisions. told me that since I hadn't had any adverse reactions/symptoms I was probably doing OK. If anything happened later, go to an ER for treatment.

06/03/2022

My only negative experience was in trying to get an ultrasound to aid in identifying my medical issue. It took almost two months to be scheduled for the test. Numerous calls to the scheduling center/doctor's office where I was told that it had been sent and received and then not received. I was told that I would receive a call about! my status but that did not happen. Finally, after two months I received a date for my imaging. Everything went very well after that. This was during the new records implementing time frame. Even so, I should not have had to go through this.

05/24/2022

Routine & so far surgery went smoothly. Thank you!! Doctor & staff.
