Review for Dr. Fruehling
Dr. Adam's was the on call attending OBGYN the weekend my daughter when into labor. His poor bedside manner, blatant rude comments, and laziness made my daughter's birth experience more difficult and emotionally traumatic than it should have been. He told my daughter 'you're not actually in labor'...
