Dr. Mark Fruendt, DO

I was a walk-in with my four year old grandson, who could not be seen at his pediatrician as they were closed. 'DR. MARK' was absolutely wonderful! Patient, kind, an caring, not to mention thorough! My little grandson just LOVES DR. MARK! I am seriously considering moving my own records!

I love Dr Mark and Kay. If I could, I would write a short story about them but I have never had a Dr take so much time and effort

What stood out was I felt he was not listening enough. I felt not Heard and I didn't get the referrals I needed.

Dr. Fruendt is beyond wonderful, he has taken such incredible care of myself and my husband with absolute compassion and courtesy. I have to say, he's the first doctor I've encountered to truly listen, take the necessary time, and take action. I came to him with a long list of issues as a young adult female (I've been told by other PCPs that my chart looks like I'm 30 years older, sadly) and he has been careful to address every need to educate me on long-term issues and immediate options while listening to my personal concerns. He's done all of this while making sure I feel completely confident and at ease with our action plans. He has already been there for us in the midst of a walk-in emergency and we'll be forever grateful. We feel so lucky to have stumbled into his office, and Ms. Kay is just the sweetest with an equal level of kindness and compassion.

Stay away if you're female or always get second opinions. He will say your fine but are not. His ego appears to make health decisions and not testing. Ii wouldn't allow any of my family to go here. He got away with documenting his opinion and at least twice spoke badly about me in his notes forgetting to add all of the information.

Wow! I have finally found someone that will listen to my needs and desires regarding my health and explain and discuss the pros and cons. He seems very willing to support my goals and give me what I need to achieve them. If you are looking for a new doctor or just needing health care I would happily recommend Dr. Fruendt and his fabulous staff! I was very impressed that I actually talked to a physician and he spent time with me discussing my health care goals. I really liked that he wants to support my goals and was interested in helping me achieve them. So many physicians run in, spend three minutes, bark some orders, then prescribe a ton of expensive medicine. I love that Dr. Fruendt a

Very Impressive. I am happy and confident to be in his care.

Quite possibly the worst doctor I have seen in my 34 years of life. Not only did he not listen to a word I had to say, he actually insulted me as a person. No doctor should ever do anything like that. I have never left a doctors office in tears like I did when I saw him. I can't even begin to describe how much he cut me down as a person which was completely uncalled for as this was the first time that I had ever met him. His bedside manner needs a lot of work. I wouldn't recommend anyone to him.

The doctor is knowledgeable, but the staff is a whole nother story. Trying to get tests or referrals is like pulling teeth. Half the time the staff seems clueless as to how medical stuff actually works. I swear, it's like I know there is a nursing shortage, but just how big a curve do they grade on now???

It's not a typical doctor's office... Dr. Fruendt, Heath Hammock CRNP, and Linda Alvis CRNP, really do care about their patients. They actually LISTEN to what you have to say and talk to you in a way you can understand. This is how healthcare should be done. I never feel rushed, yet their staff is so nice and get you through the visit so quickly compared to other places I've been. And they're great with my kids too! Love this place as my primary doctor, and for after-hours and weekends.

I would recommend Dr.Fruendt to anyone, including family and friends. He is thorough, compassionate and committed to ensuring that your health care needs are met to the best of his ability. Dr. Fruendt is a "stand-up" doctor. He is easy to talk to, but most importantly he listens. He has always taken the time to answer all of my questions and address my concerns. I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find a better family doctor.

Excellent care, great staff and done in a timely manner. We will continue to use Dr. Fruendt and Central Alabama Urgent Care

Love this group!

I love Dr. Fruendt! He is one of the nicest doctor i have ever been to. He is always willing to answer any questions that I have. Dr. Fruendt takes care of me and my entire family. We have all been to see him. It does not matter the reason for visit he will always make you #1 concern.

DR FRUENDT IS A WONDERFUL PHYSCIAN! HE ALWAYS LISTENS TO ALL MY COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT MY HEALTH AND GIVES THE BEST MEDICAL ADVICE! ALL MY FAMILY USES HIM AND LOVES HIM TOO.

He is very knowledgeable and caring! Listens to my concerns and shows a genuine concern for my health and well being.
